Feedback Teamfight Tactics VS Dota Underlords

OP Garen Support·6/28/2019, 11:29:22 AM·4 votes·1,080 views

I played Teamfight tactics. Around 10 games. Auto-chess style game seems fun.

Decided to try out Dota Underlords as well since the login time to PBE is over 14 hours.

I must say Dota Underlords was much more enjoyable.

Cons of Teamfight tactics Gameplay Differences: Dota Underlords

  1. Dota gives you 3 items to choose from during minion phase.

  2. Dota gives you all the info you need for level 1 - 3 champions. Stats, abilities, scaling, origin. (you can check them in the menu)

  3. Dota lets you remove items from champions without killing the champion.

  4. Dota let's you have passive items shared between every champion. (that would be like a dragon buff in league)

  5. Dota shows you all the synergy between your team comp and purchasable champions. It will tell you exactly how many you have of the chosen type and how many you will have after purchase. It is shown visually.

  6. Dota gives bonus gold for win streak/lose streak.

  7. Dota is much more fair if you want to upgrade units. I had 5 X level 3 units in my first game, meanwhile in LOL I only had 1-2 level 3 units in 10 games.

Teamfight tactics

  1. LOL gives you 0 - 3 items. Which leads to unfair advantage, when you got 0 and your opponent got all 3 of them. All items are random so you might not even need the 1s you got.
  2. LOL does not have champion tutorial/summary. You learn everything during the game. We really need item combination list and effects as well.
  3. LOL kills your champion if you want to get the item off.
  4. LOL does not have global team passive.
  5. LOL synergy showing is ok. Neither good nor bad.
  6. LOL punishes winning and rewards bad plays with unfair champion+item choosing mini game.
  7. It is much harder to get level 3 champs in LOL.

Lets see the results:

  1. DOTA wins
  2. DOTA wins
  3. DOTA wins
  4. DOTA wins
  5. DOTA wins
  6. DOTA wins
  7. DOTA wins

Gameplay wise Dota Underlords beats LOL in every category.

Pros of Teamfight tactics

LOL has mini legends. They are cute and fun to watch.
Boss battles are nice.
Graphics are nice.
Item combination is a fun idea.
Different mini legends, Different maps.
Planned Ranked mode.

I like LOL much better then Dota. Current state of Teamfight tactics relies too much on RNG to be competitive in the future.

1: Yeah this sucks, I like dota's system better too. That said, I've won games where I've had NO items in teh first 2 pve rounds and I've won handily. You just have to be smarter than your average bear, but to be clear, this should be the main thing to be changed.

2: They said they are working on adding a menu for item and champ combos

3: True, but the solution is to simply buy a unit, create the item, sell the unit. It's a cumbersome way around the system but it works.

4: Okay? That's mostly a subjective preference. I like League's better.

5: Agreed.

6: There is a win streak system. Not sure about the complaint here. There's a loss/win streak system. Losing early rounds on purpose to get first pick in the item rounds is supposed to be worthwhile so that you can catch up to someone who got lucky with items and can go on a winstreak, it's the comeback mechanic.

7: If everyone collectively has lower unit levels, there's no problem. This also adds another element of strategy in TFT because you have to be smart about who to aim your upgrades at.

This mode needs a lot of work. Just play the Dota one after you do ya will realize how much of a turd this really is I can tell ya after like 15 games it is just a waste of time to play this when there is a good example of how it is done that you can be on instead.
