I am so tired of getting stomped out of games because someone gets 4-5 items by raptors

Barkley··3 votes·1,085 views

and i'm not talking components.

I'm talking about full, completed items.

100 health at raptors should never fucking happen. Ever.

But these kids get two spear of shojins, 2 phantom dancers, and 2 lockets by raptors and they just can't be beaten. They're too far ahead of the power curve. Its basically guaranteed 1st place just based on RNG alone.

Its fucking asinine.

Haven't seen this once. Do I have to play 100 games to see it enough to be tired of it?

herp derp look at me i'm an edge lord who disagrees with people for the sport of disagreeing with people.

Get the fuck outta here. There's 100 posts on the boards with this exact complaint. Probably the biggest complaint in TFT right now is that items are ridiculous and can single-handedly win you the game based on a random chance.

You're literally disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing. That, or you've never played this game mode. That, or you live in a cave.

All I hear you saying is something about not knowing what "winning" means in the game and something else about not understanding there are other strategies available to win than just items (which are their own strategy), and that this gives them a chance to measure and balance out starting-point options.

I doubt it's items causing the average player the headache of a loss (5th to 8th). I doubt it's items that cause the average 50/50 player a block from a competitive win, 3rd place or higher.

It may be items that could cause you to lose first place. But most players aren't getting there or nearabouts for that to cause much if any concern. If most players aren't near a 50% winrate, then other strategies need to be addressed rather than force metas around one strategy.

Put away the salt rifle.

I'm far, far above a 50% win rate. I'd be surprised if I wasn't closer to 70 or 80% win rate. I'm climbing just fine. If I get 1st, I'm gaining a full division worth of LP. If I get 2nd, I'm getting 95+ LP.

So get off your high horse like you're some kind of TFT god and I'm some kind of bronze trash who doesn't know a spatula from my own asshole.

I'm probably better at this than you. I'd be surprised if that weren't true.

The fact of the matter is, in its current state, the best strategist cannot beat the luckiest man -- and that is not acceptable for a competitive game mode.

Last 10 games were

2 1 2 1 1 3 2 1 4 7

I am not sure who has the bigger unit, but my guess is it's not on the guy who feels like they are their ego. Also doesn't help that you decided that post was a passive-aggressive insult to your long list of bragging rights. And then an ad-hominem to top it all off!

If you had the 70%-80% winrate you boast of, and I have that winrate, too, then you'd either be an equal beneficiary of blind luck, therefore the pot is balanced. OR, your view is wrong because a winrate that high would require some people to get permanent special treatment over other people so that the luck of getting items therefore wins. And since it's most likely not the former. . .

Kid's unranked in all game types -- probably been banned a time or two for being a toxic prick. Has no idea what he's talking about, came here to start shit and rustle jimmies. Probably touching himself at the thought of disagreeing with the popular opinion. Probably also says riven is balanced, summoners rift is in the best state its ever been in, and TFT needs more RNG. Not enough RNG.

Also probably voted for trump. Also probably cheers for whatever sports team is the rival to the team his dad cheers for. Also probably says earth is flat, chemtrails are real, 9/11 was an inside job.... Whatever gets a reaction out of people.

You know the type.

Gold on my main, silver on my 2nd account, and half-assed doing ranked on this account. By no means amazing, but we all know how plat+ players are. Oh, nevermind, he has the same rank history I have across all my accounts. So I guess we're equals in terms of SR ranked. And if we are equals there, we are possibly equals here, but your over-arching opinion that is also incorrect seems to indicate otherwise.

It's funny because it's irony, the bit about getting banned for the bannable offenses in your post.

I don't have an opinion on Riven. She's not a champ that really bothers me going against.

SR is in a terrible state, which is why I am not really doing much ranked.

TFT needs no more RNG. It just doesn't need everyone to get an item at the onset. Necessarily. I don't see a point for it yet myself.

Didn't vote because people like you stuck us with Trumpery. I mean, Hillary.

Hate sports.

Earth is round.

Chemtrails might be real. IDK.

9/11 was about as much an inside job as Pearl Harbor was. If that makes sense and you disagree, you're a moron.

Your diatribes of character assassination seem more on par with your troll witchhunt party you are attending.

bro item RNG decides probably 50% of games. Get the fuck outta here. Type me another essay.

Get21 votes

Bro, since you can't read, let me babyfood this for you, bro.

Bro, you can't have a consistent 70 to 80% winrate AND RNG/items decide 50% of matches, because that would mean that you get items 70 to 80% of the time you need to buff your 50% winrate, which means the game is purposely choosing you to win 70 to 80% of the time. Bro. And that, bro, is not how this game nor statistics work, bro.

bro.

... I mean, this should be impossible. Each raptor can only drop one component, as far as I know.

It's possible that they were storing components, as people sometimes do, and come roaring out of the gate once they complete a bunch of items. I'd want to see some evidence that completed items were even dropping from raptors before I believed that.
