Thank you for giving the community solutions they never asked for and ignoring the frequent complaints about TFT. You know best!

Giving one player 0 items and another several is a really good balancing decision in a game about strategy and tactics with ranked matches. For example, in a recent match I didn't receive a single item from npcs but instead got 6 - 7 extra gold! Wow! My opponents had Statikk Shivs, Ionic Sparks, Iron Solaris, Spear of Shojins, Warmogs etc.... but boy were their faces green with envy when they saw my CHAIN VEST and one interest level higher than theirs!

Sure, I lost half my HP building up to the end game because I was significantly under-equipped compared to everyone else, but I reached +5 interest one turn quicker than all of them! It was worth it!

I played 3 games in a row where I only had 7 items and everyone else already had 12-14 items.

Everyone should have an equal number of items. It is bullshit

Dude. The game is NOT about strategy and tactics. Those are pretty basic and incidental. It's an RNG game, it's a lot of luck, akin to many games of chance. Like card games or dice games.

The name is a misnomer.

It's just a very long game, as far as games of chance usually go...

Not specifically limited to TFT but both TFT and the main game is so broken that it's broken my addiction to League of Legends entirely.

For real, thank you Riot

If items would be the only problem with this mode... To not say about the unbalanced players and team compos that kinda forces you to follow always the same team compos over and over again. So the first one reaching that compo will always win... In fact the first one to be lucky to get those champs. The drop rate is also stupid... Why can't we build a "deck of champions" before the game, so that we focus in our strategy and increase the drop rate for the champs we actually want and need. Most frustrating than losing coz of items is also to lose because you never get the chance to build an op composition while others seem to easily get there first. Or because you are forced to use the champs that shows up and that are so underpowered... TFT is at this point is a 90%roulette game 10% strategy

An item is a permanent buff in battle that will be present throughout the entire game. 2 gold is a reroll than can turn out to be nothing. Oh well. League is 9 years old an TFT a month. I'm sure it will get better.

Play Auto Chess Mobile as it's by the original devs of the mod and will have a PC version available very soon.

I just laugh at the sheer disparity of items. I'll get maybe 1 item or 2 if I'm lucky off the first rounds, and run into an opponent with 5.

Again, I want to thank Riot for giving me a real challenge by providing me with only 2 items an entire match and only one 2 star champion combination. My opponents were provided entire teams of 2 stars and given quadruple the number of items, but this is a real game of skill well deserving of a ranked mode!

6 - 7 extra golds? How lucky! I usually just get 1 whenever i don't get items.
