Is it just me?

Is it just me or is the new TFT super unbalanced, broken and not nearly as fun as the old TFT? It seems like every game one or two people are swimming in luck. We are talking 3-5 gold units! Meanwhile two people are struggling to even get silvers. Then you have that one guy with the gold Olaf with rage blade and bloodthirster being keeping everything he touches permafroze in spot.

Seriously, the new TFT is terrible. I only play to complete missions and get little legends.

I hope the next revision is more fun than this.

At least they fixed the summoners before ranked hit.

Oh yeah, Ornn is TERRIBLE. It seems like thats the only unit ever fed to me! I once had a gold ornn before 3-1 and was the first kicked out of the game. He is the worst, almost makes me miss Graves lmao

EDIT: I have come to realize having a team of 6 uniits with half of them being gold will beat any team of 8-9 units who are all silver. So once you get above 50 gold start re-rolling for golds, but keep yourself above 50 gold to keep gold bonus. From here on out I purpose we call this game RRT Re-Roll Tactics.

P.S. The previous set valued having a full team with synergy over having gold units.

The balance seems worse in this set which sucks because I love the champions and concepts but the poor balance just makes it less fun

Main reason I didn't like set 1 was Hextech though so I can appreciate that they didn't bring that back. I'm still not playing ranked until certain things are properly fixed, if that means I won't play it for the whole season then so be it. As of now I've only been playing normals to complete the missions and that's it

I have to agree, i do like what they tried to do with this update! I really enjoy the random elemental hex boosts, though mountain can break the game seeing as how if one unit sits in the mountain hex long enough its HP skyrockets.

I hated hextech so much, but i loved it too! You pretty much had to have it, and it punished anyone who stacked all their items on a couple units and set them next to each other.

I think you should play ranked, you really have nothing to lose! Even if you stay in the lower ranks, at least you won't be playing with that one guy who is bragging about getting 4-5 gold 3* every game he plays.

I am playing ranked, but I am just doing it for the missions as well. I really do not care how high or low I place, since this set is so unbalanced.

Sorry to say it's probably you, but I got 5 3 stars very often and in consecutive games. I actually got 6 recently, so it's not luck. Luck is not a constant. Well, that was a tautologic mess there, but that's how I'd put it. ^^

I don't think so. You're the only one here that doesn't agree with OP.

Set 1 is just everyone stacking 4-6 tanks (knights and brawlers) with jinx and dragons. feels more boring to me

I half way agree with you. I saw some pretty bad ass ranger teams going on. I also had a ton of success with blade masters. Pretty much every game is tanks and long range units though, that will never change. Beef in the front, dps in the back... Unless you consider Olaf. He is beef and DPS and CC -_-

Agree. Olaf is ridiculous. Even with 2 glacial he's strong. If you put poison and sword breaker on it, there's nothing your team can do.

They only time I beat olaf or saw someone else beat him is have 3 star kindred grievous wound, 3 star veigar kill him before he ults. Or have enough disable items to lock him down and kill him fast. But usually at stages where olaf reaches 2 star, enemy have poison already. Once kindred gets poisoned and stunned by other glacial units it's really hard to kill him

I just watched a guy make a Mage and Summoner team. He put a mage cap on Annie. Not even kidding the Annie summoned two Tibers with every cast! At one time there was 3 Tibers on the field. I have seen nothing better than this build. It was so damn OP.

I just got a gold Olaf with rageblade, bloodthirster and warmogs..... Of course I got 1st place.

I think this set has the potential to be much better than the last set @brawlers jinx rush, but this one just needs some more fine tuning and then it'll be fine, I see your frustration though. It's also A LOT more strategic in terms of when to all in and such. It's a constant ebb and flow of saving/spending as opposed to the last where it was save until 50 and just stay above 50 only spending to well, buy jinx lol
