RNG Still Needs a Gigantic Nerf, or Rework
So I tried TFT again and once again, I'm done with it. This mode seriously needs a lot of work still. I've lost two games in a row, very badly, like losing every single match just about, because the store won't give me champ upgrades, or ones to complete bonuses I've been trying to get. What's even more annoying is starting with like a
and then getting a
, and then neither get anything in the store to allow them to upgrade. So you sit with a
and
on the field, and one of each on the bench, but no others show up in the store. EVER! Then when you finally give up on getting a better ranger bonus and switch to gunslinger, all of a sudden,
,
,
, and
show up in droves, but not your
,
,
,
, or anything else. It is frustrating as hell. The store needs a very serious rework to give better drops.
Now, I get it, random is supposed to be a part of the game, but when someone has "that perfect group" and is still undefeated in round 4, then there's a problem. I'm seriously getting tired of wasing just about all of my gold on store refreshes just trying to get something I can work with, but of course it never comes. There needs to be a line between RNG and gameplay, it is clear that it hasn't been found yet.
And here's a good tip. MORE GOLD DOESN'T SOLVE ANYTHING! I'm tired of getting drops that are nothing gold, and I'm struggling with 2 items, neither of which is compete because I got one for the initial draft, then on a shared draft, or more shared drafts, and my opponent has 4 complete items and wrecks me. Either everyone gets the same NUMBER of items, or no one gets them at all. Eliminate gold drops, unless it is a gold drop for everyone, not someone gets and item and someone else gets gold. because getting more gold, to spend on refreshes or exp, when the store gives you crap to work with, isn't helping because when you finally get something, more than likely you can't buy it.
Oh and the here's a free champ, yeah that should go as well unless it again follows the same rules.
Speaking of gold, I'm sick of the win loss bonus. I've seen games, and been in them still where you can easily win one, then lose one, and you still get the base 5 because you never get a bonus. That needs to either be recalculated or done away with. Again, more gold doesn't fix anything if you can't get items from the neutral drops, or champs from the store to upgrade what you have. You just waste it on refreshes and exp trying to expand your roster to hopefully get something to work, but just end up losing more because you never get anything that does work, or that you can upgrade.
TFT is a nice game mode, and I hope it sticks around, but it needs A LOT of TLC to make it at least a more even playing field.
