Daily Reminder: Please Normalize Item Drops

J Epstein··1 votes·1,012 views

This is the last major obstacle holding TFT back from people playing this mode.

I can't get my friends to play TFT bcz they enjoy playing tactfully (ironic huh?). The random item drops turn them off from TFT.

Also, It's dumb losing bcz I don't receive a single item until raptors.

please just listen to the community. We want normalized item drops.

yeah, it so much fun going into first round against someone and only having a 1/2 item and they have 2 full items on a lvl 2 varus lol.

Right? I can win with getting bad rolls and zero items early game, but how am i perfecting my skill at the game doing that?

They are trying to build a mode around RNG without considering the tactics portion. of it.

First paragraph they talk about how they don't want to normalize item drops. Then they repeat the word "excited" several times as if it's an English 101 course, pretty fucking sad. I'm not excited about gambling.

Again afterward, they repeat several times they don't think consistency is healthy for the game. This only proves my point that they have no idea what they doing.

They could instantly turn this mode around with normalized item drops but for some reason they don't. It's so weird, I'll never understand why they refuse to listen.

Yeah. Sad how this could be a dominating game with one simple change but they refuse to listen for some reason.

#In past communications we’ve been clear we’re not going to just give everyone the same amount of items as that leads to a flat and repetitive experience where you know exactly what to expect every game.

How much clearer are they going to get? It's just not going to happen, if you don't like it, then don't play it.

That same post mentioned above, https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/developer-corner/JPnqfEBT-tft-new-item-distribution-system, says:

"Behind the scenes we’ve done a LOT to control how we distribute the boxes, as well as what’s inside the boxes. Our goal is that games have a lot of variation, but that they also have some degree of fairness to them. So the amount of boxes are much more controlled across the entire game. The difference between the best and worst cases is now much more narrow than before.

[...] In addition, the total number of boxes and items across the entire game is much more controlled. If you start off slow, there are more boxes and items coming. We also prevent the most extreme and wacky cases (no gold boxes before stage 2-6, no more than 3 gold boxes per person max, etc)."

I really think these changes are at least close to what people are asking for. If you don't get items immediately, you get extra later. Also, from playing on PBE, the gold you get in those boxes is far higher than previously. Give it a try before knocking it.
