literally just normalise item drops, and have minions drop the same amount of items for everyone.
edit.: after reading the comments and checking out underlords, i changed my mind. dont just normalize item drops, adopt their system. it looks way more interesting. they let you chose one out of a few items, or permanent perks instead. and if you lose the pve round, you dont get to chose, but get a random item instead.
i know right, tired of getting one single piece of gold, looking at other peoples screen and they have items, like, why cant everyone start on equal grounds?
hell, FIVE gold is not worth ONE item.
It's a terrible game design choice and they're really really doubling down on it. Until further notice, Underlords it is.
Everyone is saying this but they don't want to listen for some reason.
I'm not saying items aren't really important during the game, but getting 1 gold in the first round allows you to build tier 2 units faster. I've had plenty of games where I had 1 gold drops from the first wave of minions, and proceeded to literally destroy anything in my path. Because you get one more champ -> they can't have it. If you have good items but a shit comp/champs, you'll lose regardless of items. It's the one gold that sometimes makes a difference between having that level 3 unit or not.
why can't i sell my items for one gold the same way i sell my champs? come on riot it's clearly the next step in improving tft since gold and items have equal balance value!
FIX THE DROP RATE OF ITEMS!
since this guaranteed drops update, I've had the most no item rounds-in a row-games I've had. EVER. this was supposed to normalize things but it really just pounds a few people into the dirt and blesses like 2 players with great drops.
It's really dumb, sometimes i'll get some shit gold and one time i got FOUR drops... FOUR!
Ranked means nothing in TFT, if everyone plays enough they can call themselves challenger TFT player, try and manage placing top 4 and have 2-3 comps you can play with off the bat and PRAY ITEM RNG is in your favor if you wanna get that #1 spot.
OK OK I hear what you're asking for, and I got the perfect solution.
1 less minion round for you if you get gold from the item box!
I guess I should check out Dota Underlords too. Riot showed me that I like this genre but Underlords seems to be the better game.
