Straight into it, first and most important thing I wanna mention is the Knight rework has made Knights too strong, it definitely feels like if you don't build knights you lose (also indirectly buffing Kayle, who is already strong enough as it is) I like the change to Void, however due to the types of void champions with have right now (Kassadin, Kha'zix, Rek'sai, Cho'Gath) doing true damage really isn't as good as it sounds, I feel like with so much armor and damage reduction being spread around, void should be a more clear-cut counter, rather than giving true damage to 3 frontlines and 1 inherently weak assassin. I Like the Noble change, however I am afraid that 6 Nobles will become wayyy too scary with armor AND magic resist within their synergy buff. They are literally Exodia, you can't win, Knights/Guardians on top of that is just overkill. These are the only changes I have experimented with so far, but will continue to try out the other changes.

The Knight buff doesn't even seem that strong outside of early game but yeah it probably seems ridiculous when COMBINED with Nobles team bonus with massive armor/magic res since Nobles only real weakness would be constant CC or true dmg on it right.

They should be strong, like everything else at a 6 unit synergy is strong.

So what, they have good defense, they have bad offense to go along with it.......just the opposite of 6 sorcerer, 4 ranger, 4 demon, ect.

You are worrying over nothing. Its about time all of the synergies were worth playing.

How hard is it to build a red buff or morellos vs knights tho?

You seem to have a differnt tft version than me, cause the knight changes on my PBE leave them even weaker than befor. Sure, the 2 knight buff is rather broken early, but mid to late knights are just as usless as they always where, lots of weak scaleing individuals(3 tier 1) and a basically non scaleing trait. The only way it feels strong is by synergiesing with the new and rather broken nobles buff, and even then you'd hardly have more than two knights, maybe 4.

Haven't used the void bonus, but if it also applies to spells, sorc+cho will get some heavy aoe truedamage. It might also be a bit more relevant with nobles and guardians getting buffed, else there just aren't much resis around. The live void feels rather pointless for exactly that reason, even with a thornmail, most champs have 60, at max 80 armor and the rest is at 20-30, so ignoreing half of that is not very impactfull unless you face nobles or guardians which both aren't very common. Still, i agree that voids getting trudeamage seems not very relevant as they aren't really high damage individuals, and resis overall aren't that high.

Kaisa should come to tft to make that void buff a scary thing
