It's 100% NOT RNG and it seriously needs to be fixed

Set 1 was fine. The champ pool was alright, and the concept of watching the board made sense. Set 2.... not RNG. Riot, you seriously need to fix this. It is completely unbalanced and results in nothing but lack of skill and total frustration. This game won't become competitive as you want if you don't create a competitive field. If you play poker and someone draws from a deck full of 1s, 2s, and 3s, and but there are only enough to ever get a single pair or two pair and then give the other team a royal flush, there isn't jack player 1 can do to win. You can't call that competitive and you CANT say you need play the hand dealt to you.

I have realized in set 2, you seriously need to luck out to win. I can't tell you how many times people have said, "Man, nice comp. Great build! Way to play!" when my only response is, "This is the only thing that showed up on my bar..."

I have played games where I have been given 7-8 of the same champ in before the first PVP fight only to NEVER see the champion appear again. Meanwhile, one to two other people have made those champs gold.

I have played games where I have been given a silver champ on the first bar only to make it to STAGE 6 WITHOUT EVER SEEING THAT CHAMP ON THE BOARD AGAIN!

I have played games where three people are going Kog, WW, Skarn/Ren only to have my entire bar filled with Kog, WW, Skarn/Renek. The moment you join that pool, all four of you lose. But guess what? Nothing else is showing up!!!

I have played games where I have held on to a level 1 champ on my bar through stage 5. I never see that champ AT ALL, so I finally sell it. Guess what?!?! That champ shows up every reroll. Wow... weird.. You might say, "It is because you sold it back." Really? So the low % of a level 1 champ at stage 5 yields that SAME champ every reroll even though I never saw it up to this point? BS.

Here is my thought, and I am pretty sure I am right. There isn't a set pool like you say. You DON'T have 29 lvl 1 champs each with the high %s you claim through level 4. What happens is your bar likely gets pooled with maybe two or three other players. In that pool is a random set of champs. You don't get a selection of every champ. You CERTAINLY don't get the full pool of 29 level 1s and so on. This is why you don't see certain champs in an entire game. This is why if you are competing for a champ and two players who have them die DONT put them back in the pool, but oddly enough, if there is a third person with it and they die around stage 5, all the sudden your pool is full with that champ.

You broke something, and you need to fix it. No one can strategize around this. You can't go into a game and go, oooh I am going to counter olag with a thormail. No you wont... you won't ever see a thornmail. Or you go, oooh, I am going to go 4 shadow and amp up this kindred you gave me 6 of.. No you wont, because you will never see Sion show up. The best you can do is go, "Ok.. I got Neeko and Kog and some shells... and this other guy has a gold veigar... let's see.. if I place these two in the bottom left, maybe that will help..."

FIX IT!! No on is going to play or watch your shitty competitive TFT if is a shit pool of randomness where the winner is no better than a slot machine winner.

The seeded rng is so blatantly obvious. I'm glad somebody else can see it.

Riot already admitted that the game manipulates the RNG "to make thing interesting"

I feel like putting an item on a champ gurantees you dont make it a silver.

There are WAY to much units making it harder to get 3 stars and that fucking sucks.

I don't know what riot is doing but I know that something is wrong with the rng. I often want to play Yasuo and always check to see if someone else is picking him. Nobody. So at level 5 I get my 60 gold and start rolling... So many times I've found myself saying "Bruh". Like seriously, all I find is tier 2 champions that everyone else is picking, but never the one nobody has. I even buy all the other tier 2 champions to try and maybe reduce the odds of finding those champions that I don't want, and increasing the odds finding what I want. But even praying to god wouldn't help me actually finding units that **NOBODY **has. And I'm not pretending to find 9 with 60 gold, but at least show me 5 of them.

It's incredible, and it happens consistently. To the point that I've accepted the fact that if the game doesn't want me to go for a specific champion, I guess I'll just take whatever I'm given, and when I do that it works way better.

I still try to reason and think that it's just bad luck and I'm getting consistently the odds against me, before making assumptions. But It's upsetting, can't do what I want even when chances should be on my side.

Season 2 of TFT is bad lol I loved playing Season 1. I feel like they wanted to add a lot fo stuff but its to much. I felt like it was more simple to play in S1.

My last few games were so rigged it was unbelievable.

After first few rounds can clearly see who has been given the auto-win. I'm buying almost anything to try to get lv2's and other guys are pulling full lv 2-3 comps with no problems. I tried running light comp(no one else was going light champs), and I never found the third vayne.

Here's the proof to that:

To enforce diversity - Riot said that "if you go for the rarest units in that match you have the highest chance of getting that unit..." BUT, as can be seen above... except me - nobody has a full Predator comp - even more than that "NOBODY ELSE HAS A Skarner" - and yet, it's stage 3 - 6 and even after wasting 20 gold on refreshes - i couldn't find another Skarner to turn it lvl 2.

[sg-lux-2]

On the other hand... there's games where i have 2 units lvl 2 of a given champ - 2 x lvl 2 Vlad for example (aka 2 x 6 Vlad) - both placed on the board... and besides me - there's another player who has the same unit at lvl 1. YET, 6 rounds latter and 40+ gold down the drain - i find another Vlad while the other player HAS A VLAD LVL 3?!! W T F!!!!!?

[sg-ahri-1]

There's times - when even 4 of us go for same comps (Ocean, Predator. Inferno and so on....) - and yet - 1 of us still finds enough units of that comp for a lvl 3 upgrade - while someone who's going for a unit and a comp which no one has - can't find none.
