Started playing TFT again. Predator/Poison/HORRIBLE rng made me quit

rant: Holy shit riot gave this mode the league treatment. What in the flying hell is that comp? It totally invalidates half of the other comps you can do, forcing only 3 comps to be even viable to win. Almost every game i play it's a p/p comp or their "counter" that'll win. From what i've looked up there's no real counter to the point even positioning will barely affect the fking of your team, ofc with mana spammers being the only soft counter if you're lucky. How, and i mean HOW did no one forsee that making predator/poison super easy to obtain literally invalidates almost all the other comps with 3 being really viable(p/p included in that) because they can beat p/p. This shit feels like ssbb meta knight all over again. Quitting until they nerf this crap cause it's REALLY boring to lose to the same damn comp and being forced to play a pretty lame one if you want to win.

And then the RNG. I've NEVER played an auto chess that made it seem as if the game wants to force you to play a different comp than what you started. The champion pools/item rng are so shitty, and when that one guy gets a lv 3 and 2 carry items early/round 3 i really really don't understand why there isn't some sort of cap on what you can get when you're gonna have rng this bad.

TFT isnt like most Auto Chess.

In TFT you play what the game gives you and you have to constantly be adapting.

If you go "Im going to play X this game" You are likely going to lose. You are trying to force something the game isnt giving you.

Predator doesn't seem very strong to me, but it's a good early comp and easily transitions into poison. And posion however is pretty borken on it's by basically removeing all spam casters and delaying other casts, and Singed+morellos remains the most OP thing every unleashed onto the genre.

I just one a game with Pred/poison I had all 3 pred at 3 stars, and i was still last place getting walked over by everyone. Then in the shared draft befor raptors, i got SInged, slapped morellos on him and didn't loose a single game after that. So again, predators are really not that strong, it's just singed with posion beeing a free win and predators are a convinent start to get there.

It isn't just poison/pred.. 6 shadow wipes you off the map in seconds. Infernal/summoner Glacial/Berserker ocean/mage mage/summoner w/ a mage zed w/ items.. Singed is the one tough champ for poison, otherwise it's a pretty minimal threat imo. Soraka on the right team w/ the proper items is a pita also.. So many big pools everywhere where you can't get mana at all. At least poison, you can still get mana, just takes twice as long.

TFT set 2 is much worse tan TFT set 1.

And of all the mechanics they could have kept, the only mechanic in the two sets is Glacial. Yeah, that mechanic so fun and interactive…

I honestly miss the patch where imperials were the only thing to get annoyed of. I hate the bullshit nocturne and predator mix legit can’t win my tanks are shredded and my dmg people are one shorted.

Thilmer, I disagree, TFT 2 has much more viable comp than TFT 1.

Indeed 1 star full item Singed with another 2 poison destroyed my 6 ocean + 6 mage. But I was happy to see there is another way to shut down ocean + mage/inferno.

Imo if this circle exist: 3 poison > ocean mage > Olaf > blender noc > 3 poison than I can say it’s almost balance.

But there are more viable comp.

Another good thing is: except Taric all the others tier 5 units are strong and can solo. This means if you had no luck to upgrade your comp than you have a chance to win by level up, get one 5 tier unit and put on him all items.

I love TFT 2.

It really isn't that strong, its a top 4 build if you do it right( Don't use Mundo, 4 Crystal). It's a nice counter to some comps, gets dumpstered by others.
