Dont change TfT

RichardWaterson·Jul 2, 2019·4 votes·934 views

Over past 3 weeks of playing tft I've noticed different strategies and tactics you can use to push leads come from behind or completely turn a game. Many people new to the game play and aim for one golden comp and say it's all luck when they dont get what they want and lose. What they dont realize is, it's a random chance game but not a luck game. There is no code where the game knows what you want. You have to make a comp out of the randomness and do the best with what you're given, not try to play around the "luck". If they made a change such as guaranteed items which seems like a lot of ppl are pushing for rn it would inadvertently make the game even more rng, because then it would be contest of who gets the best items and even less counterplay would become available. This is my experience after 100 games and if I have the ability to win 10/12 games with more experience than others then it makes sense that theres more strategy already integrated into the gamemode than people are giving credit. Dont you think if it was all luck riot wouldnt add ranked mode?? Leave comments below and I will leave a possible rebuttal for your side. Thank you.

Reminder: This is a discussion board, peace opposing thoughts but dont comment just to throw shots ;))

You said it yourself. It's a random chance game, therefore a luck game.

Is poker too not a random chance game? Where you get lucky players with pocket aces and still get bluffed out by an experienced player?

By the way undeniably yes the stars can align for a new player and allow them to get a comp and items they want right off the bat, and this will allow them to push early leads and maybe even make it to 3rd or 2nd place. However the 1st place will always be taken by the most knowledgable player. Be adaptive in this gamemode and you will increase chances of winning, dont be afraid to switch your comp halfway through and have 1 star or 2 star champs on the field for the perk bonuses that can win you the game.

Nah that's not true. Fighting RNG aside, expirience helps you top (1-3) and makes you gain MMR. But the win usually takes the most lucky guy.

Sure a complete neebie wont win against experienced players lucky or not but that's most likely due to him even being able torealize where he got lucky! xD

Put the luckiest silver tft player in a game with a plat tft player and will lose. And luck is for people who have a vision for a comp and dont get it, stop going against the random chance and play with it taking what it gives you and make a winning comp from what seems random champions

You're quite delusional seen it this way. Yes currently is all chaos and so many differnt skill-levels and approaches playing against each other that pretty much nothing really matters.

But play one game in a ranked enviroment were two player with simmilar skill levels encounter and one gets a Negatron out of the first minion waves and the other gets a Rageblade, a Static and a Gunblade!

Tell me, which one of this players will go on a easy winstreak, starts a huge econ-snowball and will reach a higer level and higher level champions before anyone else?

Btw, this example is not made up. This can happen. This does happen. And it's not even the worst case possible!

The statistics on item drops usually end where the remaining 3 have the same amt of items sure he will have an early advantage but most ppl at this skill lvl will still get out comped despite the items

Lots of people here jump into game get 3 nobles and say yeah this is a noble game reroll all their cash and get no nobles and say maaaan this game is all luck. But you trolled passed your chance to switch to LITERALLY any other comp. You only "need" what you want and that's not how it works. Pls work with what it gives you instead of wasting your gold searching for a meta comp. :P

It would make matters worse if you got a full noble comp and then tried to switch to any other comp. How do you know you won't get nobles in your next reroll? The answer is you don't, and that's where RNG comes into play. It is literally impossible to say that this game isn't decided by someone's luck.

Ah, no he won't. You can't physically outplay a player who has a rank 3 ranged champ from round 2 with 2 items and strong tanks. The plat can tryhard all he wants, he just won't be able to get past a level 3 with a couple of level 1s, unless the AI flips out.

A plat player wouldnt have lvl 1s he wouldve bought pairs in the first 3 rounds to rush lvl 2s btw

And how do you know he would land those champions? You are basing your arguments on the fact that the player is at least average, and not unlucky. If he doesn't get pairs, he's going to end up on level 1s and maybe a level 2. You simply cant know if he will get pairs or good champions at all, and that's why most people say it's RNG heavy (along with the item drops).

Buy every pair you can and if u dont get the lvl 2s by first carousel (1% chance) then go loss streak and keep going pairs til u get. Statistics wont allow 0 2 stars by stage 3 unless ur that bad.

All I will say is Kayle should not be allowed to cast invulnerability as often as she does in tft

RichardWatersonJul 2, 20191 votes

Kayle with spear of shin is too nutty ngl

I think some champ TFT needs balancing. Certain ones are too strong for their cost and certain ones are too weak. Also an extra five second of being allowed to reposition your team would be nice.

RichardWatersonJul 3, 20191 votes

I definitely agree with the extra time, switching comps takes a lot of time and can lose u rounds bc u gotta have a little time to reposition and reroll switch champs etc...
