Get 0 items from the first 3 stages.

Get a legend or 2 to level 2 in the first 3 stages.

Get a strong 40-50g economy.

Spend the next 40 rounds getting curb stomped by level 3s with top tier items while dumpstering your entire economy trying desperately to get the last one or two pieces to get some level 3s or get a higher tier legend to level 2 so theyre actually useful to your team comp. Something needs to change, because the design of this game mode right now is just absolutely detestable.

RNG on this level is insanely unhealthy for a game to be designed around. The more RNG that exists in a game, the more poorly designed it is at the very core of its being.

Even the update to item drops (which sounds like its going to make later creep waves harder, which seems asinine) sounds like its not really going to change anything. Even with guaranteed drops on certain stages, there will still be opponents who had better luck than you so GG might as well pack it in cause that double rage blade/rapid fire vayne/draven is going to obliterate whatever team you can cobble together.

If you don't like this type of game, just don't play it. It's really that simple.

Yeah it's a lot of luck. You have to do what you can to influence the probabilities in your favor then hope for the best and make sure you're positioning well. Also, you have to pay attention to what other players are buying. If 2 people just tier 2'd a Garen in 1-2, the odds of you doing the same are low so don't buy the one or two strays that you may see etc etc. We could go on all day but that's the game in a nutshell. Like other posters have said, it's all probability. You have to play enough while putting yourself at 51% or more to top 4 and then spam games. With that increase in chance to win from knowledge and skill, you can expect to win enough of your games to "climb." Yes there will be win and loss streaks.

If youre getting a 50g econ, youre not getting t3s. You get t3s by rolling early, at 20-30g max. 50g is getting t2 4/5 cost units.
