Very Tilted

You can't tell me RNG doesn't decide TFT. I literally get to the top 3 and reroll over 35 times and never once see a Kayle that would complete my comp. Yet the opposite guy to me finds 5 Kayles in 8 rerolls.

If I got just one Kayle from the 5 he was gifted. My comp beats him through sheer tankiness with noble plus guardian. Meanwhile he has only the hextech aiding which wouldn't eliminate all my items. So either my level 2 jinx is stopped from double rageblade plus the healing from gunblade or my lucian doesn't silence and prevent attacks, or my akali loses her throw away item.

So this guy won literally off of RNG not getting me what I needed to complete the noble buff. There isn't any skill in this game. It's literally all luck.

If I had a dollar for everytime I was one champ away from completing a 6 champ comp or the number of times Ive been stuck on 8 champs when no one else in the game has that champ Id be a rich man.

You went all in on a comp that required a 5 cost you didn't have. You roll the dice, you take your chances.

If you watch the high skill players you'll see they don't commit to a build that early. If they get a Kayle they may pivot into Nobles, but they won't risk a game on finding one. There are a lot of great paths that don't commit you to 6 Noble, like any combination of Rangers, Knights and Gunslingers for example.

I disagree whole heartedly. If what I'm getting most at the time is nobles being thrown in my face, i'm opting to what the cards give.

Then you're choosing to bet your game on the dice - get Kayle and win or don't and lose.

Maintaining flexibility through the mid game isn't easier, and doesn't guarantee a better result, but will be more consistent over time. I couldn't imagine leaving it to a coin flip, so I keep multiple options at all times. You have the freedom to play how you want, just accept the cost. Hold and pray shouldn't be a better option than flowing and adapting.

No I'm playing with what was given the most. The rest was spare bits and pieces of gunslingers sorcs and demons. None of which would complete a buff save for demon level 2 if I traded two of the nobles out. Still wouldn't have beaten the comp. No this is RNG.

Except that what you get early doesn't define your endgame. Once 4 and 5 star units start popping up you can make a call.

Yesterday I had a game where I had a mishmash of everything, mostly Blademasters but no Atrox. Started winning a bit with Brawlers + Lucian and Jinx (kept Fiona 2 on my bench just in case). Then I found a Kayle, pivoted to Nobles and won. That's the usual road to a Nobles win. And if I hadn't found the Kayle I could have run with the six Brawlers/Gunslinger and still placed top 4, depending what items I could make for it.

Dude you aren't convincing me of anything. This game is pure RNG. You really have to be dense to not see that.

This is easily the worst patch ever....Morello's now even worse than before and the item disparity just decides games before you can even have a chance to win.

I argued against this idea for a long time, but after this patch, I am joining your side man. I felt like there was still some really good play in this game despite all the naysayers, but this patch annihilated any chance strategy had of beating RNG. Yes this game is RNG reliant, but I have really felt that you could strategize about the RNG before because there were certain macro decisions that would still win you games be understanding the nature of the RNG. But now??!?!? Hell no, it is so random you can;t even play the RNG anymore.
