Some hot tips for this hot garbage mode

Remove the carousel. Why? It rewards people that throw matches just to get first pick and (as with everything) its COMPLETELY RANDOM! Now you're nerfing player damage so this is even more of a viable strat. Also its a clunky, stupid, intermission to an already INTERMISSION LADEN game mode.
Remove item stacking -- just because this is a new game mode doesn't mean you throw away the 10+ years of balance experience in the garbage just to rediscover OH yeah two Shojins on a caster might be a bit much!
Don't drop gold on PvE rounds. You hear players scream "gold can be invested!" and turn around to stare down two WARMOGS on a meta pick (like Shyvanna) that will easily roll over your stupid extra rank 2 that you saved up for. Turns out items are greater than the sum of their parts. Wow, who would have thought items can synergize? Even IF (A FUCKING HUGE IF) items were a small part of the game, getting gold is a kick in the nutsack anyway. I ALREADY GET GOLD! GIVE ME SOMETHING ELSE TO THINK ABOUT WHILE IM WATCHING THE PAINT DRY
Remove streaking. This is a stupid mechanic period. Especially a lose streak (a 100% chance to attain, just put up all your rank 1s and rake in the money). Win streaking is less of a problem but just another fucking random element thrown in without ANY thought. Why? Who am I playing against? Where are their units? How are my units positioned -- which brings me to my next point.
You may as well remove unit positioning. Unless you can set aggression stances or some sort of behavior per unit to perhaps target certain units (of which you would need to perhaps be privvy to existing) you are positioning with very little foreknowledge. So what happens? Clump unit together defensively. That way it REMOVES THE ELEMENT OF RANDOMNESS. All of it is just random, random, random and the second I get a chance to mitigate that randomness I TAKE IT EVERY TIME!

I see no TACTICS here. I've played Final Fantasy TACTICS and to think this game uses that same word insults me to no end.

It is just that, a tactic, besides if you are losing early on purpose, you are doing it at the risk of dying and you know losing, the point of the lose streak is to help people actually come back and transition if they aren’t getting what they need early.
I agree.
Honestly, unit synergy is stronger then items especially on the group. I would take yordle six or noble six any day over more items.
Why? Also what does streaking have to do with who you get paired against?
I mean with Blitzcrank, Camille coming out, and items like zeyphr, positioning is key though, bundling your units is stupid if you are like assassins and you want certain units in the front line like Poppy.

There are plenty of tactics and just because the game has different variables doesn’t mean that tactics aren’t a thing, there is plenty of rng yes, but there are tactics along with them.

Also, 6. Don't play this garbage mode, it's incredibly dumb. Are you really that busy or that lazy that you'll only play a game if it plays itself? There's no teamfight tactics to gleam from this trash, the name is a lie and everyone outside of Riot thinks it's actually really unappealing to the ears to say. Of course, the mode was not made to be successful or clever, just a lazy copy of an existing mode in lieu of designing a Taliyah skin or making a new map for Twisted Treeline and acknowledging the Shadow Isles as a region - Afraid we might offend Chinese officials perhaps?

I commend OP for inciting negative feedback for this hot garbage mode, as I do not want Riot to continue favoring this over an old cursor and a 3v3 game mode, being removed for no real reason and to immense negative response.

Please do not waste your time or your computer's processing power playing this, DotA Autochess if youre curious how the game plays. Blizzard's devs actually try and cares about its consumers, and come up with creative and unique ideas of which League's Autochess is not.

Different departments work on skins and game modes?

Side note, if you don’t enjoy the game mode what is wrong with letting others enjoy it?

DoTA autochess is Valve, not Blizzard, and it was a mod made by fans?

Side note, are we talking about the same Blizzard that thinks people want a mobile Diablo over a pc one?

The same blizzard that straight up told its fans that you don’t know what you want with classic servers?

The same blizzard that stopped supporting sc 2?

The same blizzard that didn’t tell anyone at all that they were going to stop officially supporting hots, letting its pros prepare and then pulling the rug out from under them with no warning of such? That blizzard?
