TFT Balance

Hello everyone, here is a list of balance issues and potential fix for TFT from what I have seen so far from playing live and in the PBE server:

  • Upgraded items should not stack - We all see what dual shojin spear does to multiple champions, or multiple rage blade, etc. Just like in regular LoL Item's special bonuses should be unique.

  • Guinsoo's rageblade should have a max stack at 5 or 10.

  • Glacial stun should not perma CC or we should have access to item to avoid the perma CC of glacial. Every team comp has an item to counter it (PD, Anti-heal, Dragon's claw). But nothing against glacial or CC in general.

  • Kassadin's mana drain needs to be vastly reduced. On his own he is simply a better more reliable demon synergy buff. When Kassadin starts the fight he pick someone and that someone will never ever cast an ultimate. He is one of the most OP T1 character just for that. So I would reduce his mana drain by half and increase his shield generation accordingly.

  • Pyke is goddamn OP.

Simply stat wise if we compare him with other assassin excluding Akali because she is T4: He has more HP than any T3 or below with 600-1080-2160 the second highest is Evelyne and Rengar with 550 -990 -1980. He has the highest base attack damage with Zed with 60-105-215 (Kha'Zix, Kat and Evelynn have 50-90-180) He is the only other Assassin with Zed to have 25 Armor instead of 20. He starts with 50 Mana for an ult costing 100. so only need 50 mana to cast his first ult, ... which is pretty fast especially when you are that tanky for an assassin.

Now his ultimate is what actually makes him completely broken. I mean, a map wide stun for 3 seconds, that he can spam Thanks to a Shojin blade and an attack speed item, might as well add a morello to it and you have the most resilient assassin that can drop aggro because of his ult, stunning the entire enemy team and then can cast it again in about 6 seconds.

Basically we have a T2 Champion outperforming and having better survivability than ANY other Assassin of Tier 3 or below.

  • So Nerf Pyke health in line with any other Assassin's (500-900-1800).
  • Nerf his auto attack damages to be inline with other "caster" assassins Like Evelynn or Katarina (50-90-180).
  • Drop his armor to 20 just like most assassins
  • Then for his ult, make his starting mana 0 (Like EVERY other assassin) or reduce the stun duration to 1/1.5/2 seconds

OR

Just make Pyke die after he uses his ult once!

Allowing items to stack on champions I think is a necessary evil it allows for crazy team comps and if you are doing well from the start you already have good RNG. To counteract this if you have bad RNG you get to pick your item and champion first in carousel and if you are getting really bad RNG and losing you also may be getting lose streak gold and you have a chance to comeback allowing you to hit 2nd or 3rd or even first with some lucky strats and cheesing and that's all you need to gain LP and if you have really bad RNG where your just not seeing anything to go anywhere then you lose that one game. The only problem with items I see right now legitimately is on PBE they buffed Morello's to 13% burn damage that is way too high. If you haven't played other auto chess games before part of them is RNG, people play games for a mixture of luck and skill IE poker ETC. . If people don't like the RNG minimize it and go for lose streaks and you increase your chance of picking what you want at the cost of some health. Mind you most team comps have counters by just making items that are typically easy to get from carousel. CAROUSEL IS WHAT MAKES TFT SO GREAT DON'T LET A FEW TILTING GAMES ANNOY YOU THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A META AND IF IT'S EXCITING ONE A COUNTER TO THE META AND THEN COUNTER TO THE COUNTER TO THE META ALL OF THIS SEEMS POSSIBLE RN JUST WHAT'S ON PBE IS WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THE GAME IS IN A BROKEN STATE ON PBE WITH THE CHANGES THEY MADE AND THE BUGS ARE MAJOR HOPEFULLY IT GETS FIXED SOON.
