Serious lack of information ingame.

Been forever since I last played league, but I been playing auto chess on my phone for some time now so I downloaded the ... whatever the launcher is called (seriously annoying theres no actual lobby for this game... feels so damn weird.) launched the game expecting maybe a lobby, or... some kind of screen with helpful information.. Nope. Okay...moving on... Its auto chess right? Same game... Different brand... Should be similar!

Wow.. The lack of info is real. Starts off with some merry-go-round crazyness, I can't seen to get any info at all from the characters in the middle... Who are they? What can they do? Whats the synergy? Whats the item do? Tried holding shift, alt, ctrl, right click, left click, random keys... WTF SHOW ME WHAT YOU ARE!! Am I really expected to memorize this crap? Out of how many characters? Can you atleast...idk...Color them for synergys sake? Have the icons floating above their heads? Or...show me the info atleast before I choose?

Anyways, i ended up with woodland and druid characters... Was doing amazing actually, didn't lose a single fight until the end... I had a ton of gold, didn't even need to cycle through for quite some time, in auto chess this type of situation tends to read out as an assured victory most of the time. So imagine my surprise when suddenly my entire team is wiped by someone that i wiped just a few rounds ago? Like...not a single kill on them out of nowhere they are god tier. I stop saving, i spend every penny to upgrade my lvl and cycle constantly looking to fill out my team... woodland, druid... where the hell are youuu. Couldn't complete it no matter how much i threw at cycling. Maybe it was on the carousel at one point...but idk what the hell they look like. Further i'm having to carefully look at each character in my roster because the damn things don't really shine much... By this i mean, again, autochess has me feeling lazy here...as if I own it, it makes damn sure I know it. Very bright borders on owned units. This game seems to have them? But..sometimes they don't shine?

Wheres a tutorial match when you need it :P Seriously games fun, but damn I hate the lack of info as a noob.

Part of your specific experience is that Woodland/Druid specifically is a very strong early game set that doesn't really keep up with the strength of late game comps. So that part makes sense, and though you didn't have an easy way to know it I think it's reasonable to have early game and late game comps in the game.

That being said, you're not wrong that visual information is often lacking in TFT. When you're buying champs from the list of 5 at the bottom you can at least examine them and their abilities and synergies (but not who else is a part of that synergy). And on the left you can see the other members of the synergies you have on the board (but not the ones you have on the shelf). But information on items is lacking in general, as is carousel information, and frankly the other synergy information I just mentioned as missing should be more available too.
