Who are the worst champions in the TFT?

Despite you giving that champion 3 stars and 3 items they are still not good. You only get that champion to create a team buff, such as adding a bad mage to the team for the sake of getting the mage buff. What champions would you consider fitting into this roster?

My opinion: Taliyah - Sure her ability is good but despite that, her damage is terrible. I always see her popping up in my shop and that is for good reason, no one wants to get her.

Malzahar - The biggest issue with him is that he is easily outclassed by the other summoners. His minions are too slow, barely do any damage, they are targetable, and they are fragile. Why would you over give him items over Zyra who is cheaper and has plants that are much more powerful, can attack from anywhere, and are untargetable?

Jax - This was one my friends suggested when I asked them the same question but I have come to agree with them. Compared to the other berserkers, he is very fragile which is pretty bad for someone with a class thats about jumping into your face. His ability may be useful for dodging basic attacks but that doesn't really help much when he acts as a front line soaking a lot of damage and uses his ability only to be blown up by an opponent's ability.

MasterYi . For a 5 cost, he is the worst champion, mystic is a bait that even go 4 mystic any magic team still can wipe you, his heal is trash that by the point you get him, everyone get item 3165 . His damage suck, even with blade master + full gears, he in level 2 still weaker than any other level 1 5 cost. Amumu Nami Singed in level 1 is way much better than him level 2 He doesnt gain mana from his magic attack, so he basically got block by his own ability and cant heal until all his attack landed.

Talia is strong for a tier 1, the damage is ok and the CC is big early and if it hit's the right target still strong late. The main reason you don't see her is that few people go for 6 mages, and you can't keep her in any other comp(if you go 3 mages, it's vlad/syndra for ocean + brand cause he's the only big damage mage)

Jax by his own is decent for tier 2, but he just doesn't fit into good comps. Light is bad right now, berserkers are bad, and there is no reason to ever put him into anotehr comp.

Malz is OP vs singletarget, and usless as soon as he faces enough aoe to casually clear his minions. And with either mages or sivir beeing the big meta comps, there is plenty of aoe.

Imo the worst ones in each tier are Tier 1: Warwick Diana (fine early, but dropps really hard really quickly) Ornn(only exists for electro, which is a powerfull traid. But without that, he's usless) Tier 2: Volibear (as orn, he only exists for the traids, with out the he's nothing) Tier 3: Aatrox DrMundo (as soon as GW is involved, he might aswell not exist) Veigar (broken if 3stared, usless if not) Tier 4: Twitch (mostly exists for poison, needs to long to activate his aoe and has bad targeting to use it, heavily outclased by ashe as carry for rangers) Tier 5: MasterYi ever since shadow requires 3 pices, he's just bad for a tier 5(not that he really was good befor). Dies to easily and his damage as singletarget only melee is not high enough to compensate. Imo he needs lower duration and manacosts on his skill, so he can use the heal and aggrodropp of his meditate more often.

Nobody has mentioned RekSai , but I think she is really bad.

If you want to go predators, the best option is Warwick KogMaw Skarner , since Kog'maw is "posion" and Warwick is "glacial", and Skarner is much tankier than Rek'sai and therefore better in late game.

if we're talking the most useless champs in tft?

janna and yasuo. cloud is completely pointless.

next is renekton. the desert passive is pretty much useless on bersekers.

and last but definitely least... neeko. neeko being a druid is stupid. her entire purpose of healing hp is mitigated by the fact that she has almost no resistances and dies super fast due to her mage like stats.

Janna How unusual that Soraka & Nami are known for their healing, but Janna (who is not) is the only 1 of the original 3 enchanters this season with a heal ability. A pretty bad one at that. Maybe she can push back fucking Assassins if she doesn't get 1-shot. Maybe she can heal the frontline, if they don't walk out of her ability because she pushes back their frontline as well.

Her traits are of no redemption either. Although fucking Mages are beyond broken & need to be gutted, Mystic is damn near worthless against their 100% dualcasting bullshit. Even the 4-Mystic buff struggles to even be relevant. Furthermore, with the addition of Karma, 2-Mystic is much easier with her & Soraka, who both have stronger abilities than Janna anyroad.

Cloud is slightly more relevant. While it's worthless against fucking Mages, it's marginally useful against fucking Glacials, who just need to be straight-up reworked anyroad. How 1 champ can be designed to directly counter 2 of the 3 most-imba comps & still be as useless as Janna, is truly a testament to how awful season 2's design is.

#2 & 3 for sure, Talyia has value just because she is mountain though.

I've not been impressed by Yas, aatrox, Yi, Nemo, Warwick, oryen or twitch. Whenever I put them in it's just like "I need them for my buff." They arent champs you pick up early to play a strong role in a fight nor are they good when stacked. At least malz and Taliyah feel kinda strong early.

I will say: Jax is decent on cloud board. Cloud + Iceborn Gauntlet + Jax ult = a lot of ice hexes. But outside of that, he's not all that great.

imo, Taliyah is probably one of the most underrated units - her ability is a strong displacement and not too may people really consider how well that helps you reach that obnoxious backline. Plus, she sets up 1/2 of the mountain shield buff.

Malzahar has one thing over Zyra, and thus, one reason I'd itemize him over her - shadow buff. If I'm not building for 6 shadow, it's not worth it, but if I'm actually in a good position to set up 6 shadow then Malzahar does way more damage than her. Even at 3 shadow, I'd still consider it if I also had access to a mage hat - 6 mages 3 shadow with the malzahar being turned mage means he would still outdamage her. Outside of a few very situational areas though, yeah, Zyra's probably better.

My personal nomination to your list right now is Twitch . Sure, unlimited autoattack range and piercing units. neat. But that makes him good in the same way that it makes Sivir good...and the Blademaster buff (and Sivir) do Twitch's job better than he does, as a lower rarity unit, so without 6 rangers AND a bunch of on-hit items, twitch really isn't all that relevant.

Jax isnt bad by any stretch.

Worst are, Taliyah, Malz, Neeko(Because they AND their respective class bonuses are horrible) There are a few others who are bad, but still end up being used just to complete a comp so i guess they arent actually bad.

Taliyah isn't THAT bad of an unit and can be hilarious with Mages Cap Malphite.

Same goes for Malzahar, with a Mages Cap and a item 3161 he can flood the stage, redirect enemies target and deal massive amounts of damage while stalling. Same thing in a 6 Summoners comp, but slower. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ9eluWn60M

I don't think some units are necessarily bad, but rather not good carries, meaning that they help a lot a team comp that wouldn't work as well without them but don't win the rounds when stacked with items. Here's who I think those champions are: Aatrox Warwick Ivern Janna Soraka Yasuo Twitch Warwick and especially Yasuo, since their abilities get countered by Singed and Quicksilver. If you stacked Yasuo and you face a poison comp, you are 100% guaranteed to lose, not even exaggerating, you can't possibly win with Yasuo, because singed most likely will have the most items and will be his only priority.
