TFT Ranked should not be here. Its a love/hate relationship with it

First, let me tell you I LOVE Teamfight Tactics. I enjoyed TFT since it came out. All the unbalanced stuff, the bugs were NOTHING to me - because it was a new mode, it was fun, and is over all GREAT - and one could be forgiven for thinking that the team would get around to ironing it all out before starting something like .. ya know.. RANKED..then they decided to go live with ranked while the mode STILL has a ton of things you would think things would have been topics of discussion long before they said "Lets do this"

**A lot of players still have a bug that they cant look around the map **- I have seen threads on it, and two of my friends who join me in ranked have it. and I have it.. (hard mode here i come) when you click to look at a opponents area, it just reverses the view of yours - nor can you look at your own team from carousel - this is true when you click mini-map - or hit the 1 or 3 key OR click the players names on the right hand side - there is no way to see what your enemies are building, or positioning , you dont get to see what Dragon has for you (Surprise) and all are huge parts of TFT- and nearly game breaking-to those who have it - its ARTFT -- because you have no idea if you will be able to do your comp, you idea what dragon will give you till you get there, and no idea how to position your units, to aid your fight because.. well you cant see anyone!

Then you have some seriously odd units.. like Pyke -a T2 unit,(2 gold) (that you see in EVERY Game) that not only leaps the whole board, and because he is still target-able (technically), your team lines up like lemmings for a full team stun - he also seems to get his ulti semi quick, even with just a item 3070 (then you get a item 3161 and its pretty much done ) and stuns not only hex line he goes up , but 1/2 the hexes left or right.. and he can go diagonal so he ends up with like full team stuns..nearly 80% of the time or so. (did not do the math) Now add in the assassin, he gets all that bonus crit stuff too . and because no broken unit would be complete without Pirate for gold farm - Yay! --

As a suggestion -- maybe ya know only have him go - 2-3 hex from his original position left, right, up, down, and only stun those single hexes he passes though? - or simply bump the man where he should be to T3 or above.

DCs seem to be another issue. - this has happened to me, and three of the people i have played with - you start a game.. the client goes to "Game still in progress" -- and thats it.. never starts the game- you can wait till your blue in the face - you have to open Task Manager , end the League of Legends (TM) process.. and then you get the reconnect button, and you can join -- however, when you do that - everyone else gets in game, and by the time you load - your in round 1 with a random unit you didnt choose, (if your lucky, and depending on computer) I had one friend who didnt make it till mid round 2 - yes I get they are just creep rounds.. but

  1. you wont get your choose your starting unit
  2. you wont get you choose your starting Item
  3. (this might be wrong) you don't pick up the box from round 1 for the gold or item in it - (If it auto collects I do not know i have not tried)
  4. the biggest one - you miss a ENTIRE round of shop (if your unlucky) - that's 5 units you could have gotten (if you don't make it back for round 2) Now your playing "Survivor" the home game

Now i get it , bugs will happen, DC's will happen, and its all in fun -- (mostly) but when you join a ranked game.. you cant look around the map, you miss your first item choice, possibly you miss your first shop chance. And then when you get to your first battle vs a player.. see a Silver Pyke - it can make your eyes bleed.

IF any one knows fixes to the above issues - please inform me, the last map fix i saw was

  1. delete your LOL.config file
  2. go play a 15 min bot game
  3. exit league
  4. run league repair (should take 30 min to a hour)

and this "should" fix it for anywhere from 2 games to forever depending on your RNG.

As i said i love the mode - and i still play it.. busted map, client not starting, and disconnects -- and will continue to, I just assume im playing hard mode.
