Lack of Diversity - Only 4 comps and 4 items are viable, everything else is trash.

TFT is absurdly constrained by the meta because there's such horrible balance between synergies and champions. In every single game every player will be going for one of 4 meta builds, which is awful for several reasons:

It increases the impact of RNG when it comes to who gets the necessary champions first
It increases the impact of RNG because some items are so much better than others.
It gets boring quickly when you see the same things every game
It gets boring even faster when you can't try new things because the meta is so constrictive

I don't see how anyone can think this is a healthy state for TFT currently.

The next set needs to have FAR BETTER item balance and more than 3 or 4 viable meta comps. It would be nice to see combinations of 2 and 3 champ synergies be a viable comp rather than having to go for the same 4, 6, or 9 every single game.

I'm just disappointed and I don't have much hope for the future of TFT if this season is any indication of it. The balance and creativity oversights show that either Riot doesn't care in the slightest about the mode, or the team in charge of it is completely incompetent.

Translation: I am bad at the game and I blame it on riot. I am also incompetent and seek attention but because I am hardstuck I blame riot.

What are the 4 meta comps / items you see?

JabrielFeb 22, 20201 votes

For me at least:

Rangers/Poison
Comp with Yasuo because Yasuo is overpowered
Glacial(Since they got buffed)
Shadow

Everygame theres someone building a Yasuo with 2 items(the glove and the tear idk what it's called), Azir with Sojin,Guinsoo and the pink gauntlet)

light still works just fine, berserkers are still viable, yorik is still a beast which means shadow or infernal summoners still works

come on man

I somewhat agree but Yasuo is only really a recent breakthrough, and I discovered Glacial/Poison recently which works nicely. Comes with berserker and ranger with 4 carry options. Olaf, ezrael, twitch or singed.

Trends change with patches, It doesn't mean that something was bad before, just that a buff increased the amount if people trying it.

There are a lot more than 4 winning comps. And that's not even counting situational/mixed comps built against the top opponents in your particular game.
