TFT is the Strategic equivalent of rolling dice

There are absolutely no tactical choices to be made that affect the outcome of the game, it's 100% RNG.

  • There's only ever two buffs that matter depending on the patch nerfs.
  • Positioning is pointless (Assasins can hold their replies, depending on which version of AI targetting is used, Assasins are either OP or totally useless and dead in 9 seconds)
  • Building for a specific passive trait buff due to card RNG (Fixing this will allow for some counter play to the FOTW, however the counters are so lineear that the problem willl remain an RNG roll to see who gets to counter the "strong" team.
  • Donkey rolling is more effective than any Econ strat.
  • WTF is the carosel supposed to be? Are you targetting 8 year olds? Want to give out items and heros every so often? Great, the duck duck goose has go to go.
  • Gold for three rounds at the beginning and no items? Deep strategy here, donkey roll even harder!

Hey, since you're still in "testing", take the pieces off the Chess board, the current board art is an insult to an actual strategy game that will still be played long after these Starcraft mod spinoffs are nothing but a memory.

I felt that while there was a lot of RNG, there was some decision making involved that you could still average out alright. If it was really RNG then I wouldn't be consistently in the top 4 and 1st plenty of times. BUUUT......after this last patch what part there was that was in your control is out the window. I am changing sides on this. With the increased champ pools, more broken champs and passives, it is an absolute crap shoot now.

  1. The pool is already getting too diluted. Where before it was all about who got lucky with RNG item drops, but you could still get in the top 4 because you could at least build solid comps 9/10 games that could get you in the top without items based on your decisions, NOW not only is item RNG brutal, but now you have to deal with RNG and even building a team that makes sense. Before the patch I would see 2-3 3star on most of the top 4 teams, and if a team didn't they usually were all 2 star at least. Now, half the teams are wiped out while half their team is still 1 star. Then the occasional lucky person lands 2-3 3 star and its an instant win for them, not because they are good, just because they got damned lucky.

  2. The increased player damage is making players just get buried and limiting certain strategies and comps. Some comps take more time to develop, while some are cheese plays and you get whiped before you ever get to a good position. It used to be you would get a raw deal to start, but you could work your way back. Now if you start bad, you are pretty much screwed.

  3. Even more broken champs/comps. The good news is glacial is not as fearful anymore, but only because other comps are even more broken, not because glacial is actually balanced. Pretty much any mediocre comp and then a 2 unit hex with Jinx. Well pretty much any comp with Jinx and you win. Draven coudl get hairy at times, but jinx is on a whole different level. I had her doing almost 10k damage a round. I am not saying hexed is overly broken, although the duration should be much shorter on it, but Jinx makes any team broken. Then throw in your typical cancer plays like Kayle or Cho and it isnt even fun anymore. You build a solid comp? too bad, 1 champ outdamages your whole team, or 1 champ mitigates all the damage you do and turns 3 champs immune to any damage with almost no downtime.

I honestly have been a pretty big fanboy of this mode, but this is the least fun I have had on this game since it was released. PLEASE FIX.

Sounds like someone had a rough first game of TFT.. Welcome aboard bud.

Play normal games, and try new comps and item combinations. Don't be afraid to be knocked out early, just fidget with comps and items and it'll start making sense.

Look into the 'Interest' mechanic in the game.. You'll thank me later.

Spoken by someone who knows absolutely nothing about TFT?

"There are no tactical choices" my fluffy ass.
