My list of chances in "Game Of Chance" aka. TFT
- The first carousel (Merry-go-round of chance i like to call it) time limit is still too short... no time to think about a second pick if your first is taken, randomly assigned. I'll be honest this is usually about the item not the champion.
- The carousel also isn't fair, depends where you start and where your desired champ/item is. Just let us pick a card with a 3s time limit or something?
- Coins, Items & Champion Drops - Too many variables being random. Items are worth so much more than any amount of coin drops! also there are 106 champs in the TFT pool right now... great odds for getting what you actually want, so this normally converts to gold when you sell them.
- Its auto chess, we can all accept the fact that this is what the game is, so your fight is rather random giving you a chance to Win by chaos theory (google it) even if the other team seems stronger. - I'm not moaning about this just highlighting its a chance scenario.
- Who you are paired against to fight. This is the one i hate the most... I can't see any pattern in who you fight and when... furthermore this seems to make it increasingly unfair later in the game. On a couple of occasions I have been pairs against someone who has ruined my team causing me to lose 20+ HP only to be paired with them again in the next round. In some cases (as an example) this lead me going from 2nd to being knocked out and finishing 5th. Where if I had been paired with any of the other 3 players I would have likely won my rounds, So... It also appears that there is a chance element in not only who you play, but where you then finish the game even if technically you are strong enough to beat those above you.
- If two people are eliminated in one round the one that lost first gets the lower placement... not sure I agree with this either.
This is a long rant sorry.
tldr: There are far to many variables with a chance element for this mode to even be ranked. The more chance the less skill meaning the more blind luck you need to be placed higher. Such potential for a fun game but ruined by too much chance. Just my view...
