so why the fuck was I forced to fight the #1 player 3 times, almost in a row?

I was last in the game after getting 1 singular item component in the minion waves, getting unlucky in a few rounds, and getting behind the curve in champ strength (plus I was building for the sorceror comp, which takes a while to get going).

So why was I forced to fight the #1 player THREE TIMES in the span of FIVE games?

edit: I'm aware that who you face is RNG, but it's a rhetorical "why the fuck." It shouldn't be this way. Your chances of getting ahead shouldn't be tied to some dumbfuck matchmaking that you have 0 control over.

is it really that hard for riot to create some kind of round robin bracket?

well, yes, as it's pretty much impossible for riot to do anything in an intelligent manner.

no it's not hard but they chose to implement rng bracket.

Because the game mode is free for all that means anyone can be your opponent.

Ah yes, I forgot that you name something before deciding how the mechanics work, and not the other way around.

Bad luck, but it happens. Weird thing is, sometimes you win...

It's pure RNG without any handicapping.

Jennifer420Jul 14, 20194 votes

Its 100% random.

seems like you arent skilled enough at RNG, best way to get better is to devote your life to RNjesus

The same reason youll never complain about NOT fighting him 3 times in a row.

When there is an odd number of players, the game duplicates one of the teams so everyone has an opponent. Its pretty clear to see when you win the match but no damage stuff flies at the opponent.

The issue is when it duplicates the top players and then you fight the real person afterward. It seems like you keep playing the same guy and you are to an extent, but its more annoying than it needs to be.

no, It was the full person each time, no clone. I knew this because I had to look at his disgusting username each time (hang [racial slur])

no, it matches you with a dead player... it doesn't duplicate anyone

There was an even amount of players and yet I went against someone who was fighting someone else. Riot has no idea of what they're doing. Not much different than what they do with League of Legends. In fact, Riot would be irrelevant if there actually was competition during the time they made League of Legends.

You forgot to pray to the lord and savior RNGesus.

For the record, just like in a card game, the only lost life that matters is the final points, and in fact in TFT being behind in life is a boon. Facing the person in 1st three times doesn't actually make you any more likely to lose.

That said, I completely agree that it shouldn't be totally random who you face.

Yeah facing that guy with 5 hp left and he just went all in and got a big comp going...i'd rather face the 90 hp guy with a big win streak that's probably just sitting on interest with an above average comp.

OG Autochess had a nifty function where, unless u were the last 2 ppl left, you couldn't fight the same person 2 times in a row. Don't know why they aren't adding it here.
