The main problem with TFT isn't the RNG, the unbalanced stuff, or even the bugs

The main problem is that players refuse to figure things out for themselves. Things like strategy, composition, positioning, itemization.

A majority if not all the "loud" players on the forums do not "play" the game. Rather they cookie cut builds from youtubers, streamers and the what-not. And when they are unable to do so, they come to complain on the boards about what ever little thing is impeding their paths.

Now don't get me wrong, bugs, rng and unbalanced stuff do affect the game, but the majority of the complaints about rng and unbalanced things are factually untrue. But you will always hear, "X streamer claimed this, X streamer built this OP team".

If you want to play for fun, play for fun, if you want to play to show your ability, then learn things on your own. Understand and take different approaches to tackle scenarios.

I agree! I still think that this genre is pretty young and needs to develop properly, also i don't realy think there is a problem if people watch other streamers to learn from each other, but complaining about RNG is really ridiculous. Its more like Poker, you just need to know how to use your "Hand", but like I said it still needs to develope properly so it can be more balanced for the skill gap to grow.

Available data is a problem when people can't think for themselves. Tier lists, win rates, all of that is used as an argument when people fail to see the whole picture. How can Akali get nerfed AGAIN? She has a 43% win rate so she must be weak!

There is nothing you can do about that. A big group of players will always be stupid. Try to educate people, but always keep in mind: Think of how stupid the average person is. Then remember half of the world is even more stupid than that.

If you want some originality in your games, you can pretty much hang that up. TFT is akin to a card game and if you've ever tried competitive MTG or Hearthstone, you'll find that every deck you play against is a cookie cutter of [insert top player here]'s deck, most of the time without any changes made to it whatsoever. The one good thing about TFT, however, is that if you know what the 'top' builds are, you can get an idea of what people are going to draft and either try to block them or build against it, if you can.
