Added early damage wrecked tft

This added damage in the beginning stages sucks...you either get number 1 or number 8. If you don't get literally everything you need by stage 3 you get destroyed by the few people who did. Before you could have a comeback, you could lose a few and recover. But now you get run over by the people who got an early Aurelio or an early jinx or draven. Go back to the original damage system where you could actually focus on creating your team comp instead of just trying to survive long enough to even get to the birds..

You do realize being behind early on gives you better rewards from carousel, right?

The reason they did that was so that losing early wasn't as good of a strat. Also, later damage was reduced, so them getting that early Asol won't do as much damage as it did before.

If you have bad luck with no 2 stars unit you can have 70 HP at the second Carousel. So do you think that reward compensates the losing of 30% HP ? Not mention that you can have no drop item from first 3 rounds, but 10 golds instead. You'll say "10 golds means interest", right ? I bet you will not be happy with 1 half item, 70 HP, but 10 golds more before the second carousel. And after you got your full item you will high re-roll hoping you'll upgrade your units. And if you'll have bad luck again you'll wait to play another game. I know there are a lot of "if".

I don't think it's actually possible to be behind that much unless you're AFK or inting.

I've been in that situation and still had at least 80 left.

80 HP would be fine, like before. Oh, yes you can. I had 70 HP many times against my will because I couldn't find 3 of the same unit type and my item had poor quality. BTW I'm diamond 4, no so newbie I think.

But if you are agree with this high damage early game then I have to accustom.

Yes... Because its not only that. I promoted to plat by throwing early fights and collecting gold. Instead of rolling people just dgaf and wait for 50g to hit before doing anything.

They overdid damage but don't act like you can't stall anymore lol

Items > Gold except gold gets to be the first to snag Tier 4/5 units. That and you have the chance to get great items like BF Sword and Spatula at Carosel. Its not guaranteed and you can low roll, but even if you're under 50% hp by Krugs if you're pulling Akali, Aurelion, Jinx, Draven, ect because you powered to 7 using your saved gold and you build a powerful comp then you will come back.

Last patch basically enabled you to do this waiting until lv7 to power to 8, you could play the majority of the game without risk of being knocked out and just focusing on saving money. This patch you're at risk being knocked out if you don't upgrade by the end of lv6 which seems reasonable since you can still use most of the game to stall. Unless you low roll like crazy you pretty much will make it to lv6 which gives you a chance at building a core team comp.

I'm talking about high damage first 3 rounds PvP, not other stages of the game. You don't have money for re-roll to upgrade your units or to find better ones.

You know that every 10 HP count a lot when you are behind. Late/mid game if you have less than 30 HP then you have to re-roll all your money to upgrade your units otherwise you are finished. Waiting more rounds to increase your interest again you risk to be stuck on low level with low level units leading to be behind again.

If you don't minimize your HP losing then you risk to lose the game. You don't have to rely on luck (RNG) to balance the forces.

Practically with this overdid damage they wanted to rush the game, less fights, less play time. OK.

I think would be nice to have some money from start. Nobody wants to spend money first 3 rounds unless they lose hard.
