Teamfight Tactics needs a new name...

IcyWard·Jul 20, 2019·2 votes·741 views

I just realized that TFT's name is a large reason why people are getting upset with it.

"Teamfight Tactics" as a name is inaccurate and misleading. It suggests that the game involves teamwork and strategy but it actually has almost none. The gameplay goes against the expectations set by the name. If the game were more honest about the randomness involved, people would go into it expecting a random game and have more fun with it.

For example: If you release a game called "Explosive Action Shooter" and the gameplay turned out to be a slot-machine, then people would be reasonably upset.

So lets kick around new name ideas.

Feel free to suggest your own.

Haven't you learned that Riot redefines English?

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean...""

"Little Legends"

The store has a section called "Loot". By definition (Webster's, I mean, not Riot's), "Loot" is something which is not purchased in a store...

The list goes on. We've gotten so used to it by now that we don't even notice. It's in the patch notes, it's in the advisories... Riot has its own language.

LOL AUTOCHESS... there's your non-misleading name ;p

it just shows they are not even sure about making it a game on it's own or another game mode, or just rushed a name and ''said game''

in league of legends, you pick a HERO and become a LEGEND(legendary when doing good) or are already one cause of lore and fight other legends like you!

in tft you are a LL and control champs on a board, what are LL how do they interact between each other and in what world is this setup? who know and who cares, but it would help define the game and it's name...now the name is only based out of how you play the game( lol autochess)

so it's could be lol autochess....league of LL...LL battle...field of battle...convergence battle...the LL convergence

and dont even try to compare other game modes TEAMFIGHTS AND TACTICS to this one pls they are totally different! imagine the confusion when you type lol team fight tactics on google and you are looking for regular maps info...
