Item Stacking Should Be REMOVED in TFT.

Okey this is my honest feedback and probably lots of people think this way ( only if you are not a pyke abuser ) Item stacking should not be a thing in this game mode. Like stacking 3 lockets that scale with ap, stacking 2 shojin is dumb as f. Those items are the most stacked ones I see in my games, but I still see other items being stacked together and it's legit stupid.

I strongly disagree with this. The problem isn't stacking items. The problem is how only a few items are worth making in the first place. Repeated items are still taking up 1 item slot. That is one less item slot for something else. All we need is the other options to be more appealing.

Also, you're forgetting an important factor. What if I'm only offered item parts that combine into the same thing? Why shouldn't I be allowed to use them in the same champion?


To reiterate. In my opinion, they should either change or buff the other options first, then consider nerfing the "meta items". Stacking isn't a problem. Cursed Blade, Guardian Angel, Redemption, etc, all those items are sub-par compared to Guinsoo, Shojin and Locket, for example.

Yeah, that's pretty stupid. double shoojin / guinsoo is toxic af

I think people are over simplifying it.

You already have very limited control over what items you get throughout the course of a game, especially if you are winning early on, so this would just be a further punish to winning and give even more incentive to the throw / economy strategy.

I'm fine with that being a legit strategy, but it already feels like the predominate one. I don't think we need to give more incentive to make the early game even more pointless by having last picks on the carousel get even more screwed.

There could be a middle ground like diminishing returns or certain passives are UNIQUE but the stats can still be applied, perhaps.

i think some items stacking is fine but like double guinsoo and shojin are op af tbh i dont think all double stack are op but the two mentioned are so i wish i could say keep double stack in game but if guinsoo and shojin are not going to get a major nerf then double stack should be removed

I feel like you wouldn't need to remove stacking if you changed the items well enough, though I still wouldn't mind them removing it in general.

Shojin can be changed to reducing mana needed to use your spell by 15%. Locket can simply be changed to be like guardian (basically only one instance can affect a champ at a given time if I am not mistaken). Rageblade: I have no idea on since even if you capped the growth it would still probably be strong if you have like 2, but I very rarely ever see anyone go that route as they are spam rushing pd, and lockets at the moment.

It's part of the mode, though. Right? It certainly makes the idea of ranked a joke, but at the same time it's kinda fun to be able to turn around a huge loss by crushing your enemy's souls with these admittedly bullshit items.

I think only 2 items should be able to be stacked on a champ, would help some of this stupid OP stuff we see and just nerfing some of the really powerful ones so that they are more in line with the majority of underpowered items

Honestly... people only run locket elementalist ever since the update. This game lacks diversity I used to be able to run any comp I wanted but now if I were to run full blademaster or knights I would instantly be shut down.

Unique passives would really do a number on balancing edge cases
