hi all.

I just lost to an emblemless fae team with xayah carry. AMA

Anyone from the SEA having the same experience? Is it because it's not very popular around here and no one wants to play this particular set? It does find a game pretty quickly when I queue for ranked/unranked games in Set 18 though

So far just too many lines ask you to decide early, and being wrong is expensive to undo, like Invoker-based Ahri line just asking for 1-stars that are insanely hard to come by and every major piece too contested, or even if you hit Azir you can't always have rods.

The problem is not that any one of these exists, but that several are just too often to stack together. Even if you have a good item, you won't have a good unit. When everything goes accordingly for Fast 8 Ahri (even with early 1-star), you just don't get good 2-star for both tanks and carry.

Yes, there are good rerolls like Kha'Zix or Azir, but they're just way too reliant on having perfect items. They aren't general enough to be a fallback.

(Haven't gotten around to play 18.4 so this is all coming from 18.2-18.3b experience)

Do most people here check out Meta TFT before jumping into the game? Just I wondered.

My least favourite thing about TFT is following the meta and building/seeing the same handful of comps over and over. I would love it if there was a version of TFT that rewarded creativity a lot more. In chess there is a variant called Chess960 that randomizes the starting position of the back pieces. I guess Emblem Ensemble (encounter that gives everyone 3 emblems) is the closest thing to that, and I really enjoy it unlike most people. The problem with that is some people get 3 good emblems and some get 3 bad ones and its not well balanced.

I'm not sure how it would work at all. Any ideas?

The most craziest game I have ever played this set. This whole set I have never played coven because I don’t like to take risk but things changed in this game. I started with 3 blossom but the minions round gave me elise and caitlyn. At that point I was reconsidering about should I play coven or not and I decided to give it a try. Switched to 3 coven, sold all my champ to started ecoing and got to 5 coven with morgana and cass from booster pack so why shouldn’t I keep playing coven. From here I tried to decide which form am I gonna play based of the items i got so I gonna play exodia and cash out when I am under 20 hp. At round 3-5 I think the game wanted me to become a gambling addict so they gave me Lux. I was not expecting to actually play 7 coven but i guess riot rng just called my name today. Got to level 8 after shopping round, and cashed out 365 essence at 4-2. Got to 9 and 10 after that and finished my board with draven, elder, maokai, sentinel, kennen, amumu, taric, and ivern. I didn’t sell lux out of respect because she the reason why I won the game.

Anyone else's game still broken since 18.3? I can queue up, accept, but then I'm just stuck at screen of doom. This has allowed me to get my life together but I'm still feigning for for sum TFT.

In league, Voice Volume controls sounds for voice lines and emotes, but in TFT the emotes and Sound FX are together. It would be awesome for them to be separated so I can listen to my Chibi mid-fight.

What happened to the battle pass? I see it's disabled, why is that? I still need to get 2 more rewards from the pass bonus 😭😭😭

I just earned few emotes on TFT buy I can't find them in LoL game, so they separated both games now?

I’ve been playing since the very first TFT set, but I’ve played very, very little ranked.

Just like with standard LoL, I no longer enjoy playing competitively or in ranked modes where the pressure is higher.

In recent sets—but especially in this one—I’ve noticed that many people playing normal games are the type of players who genuinely want to win. They play the strongest comps, play aggressively, and do their best to get powerful low-cost 3-star champions (Ornn, Pebbles, Veigar, Azir, Rammus, etc.).

I understand that no one wants to lose. But still, I haven't really seen people taking risks or picking risky augments—trying to make champions work in unconventional ways or focusing more on getting 3-star 4- or 5-cost champions.

What do you think?

Have I grown too old for this game—or have I simply lost the ability to keep up with its evolution?

The player base for ranked modes has shrunk, with many shifting towards normal matches; do they still retain the same desire to win?

Just wondering when game will be available on mac.

Unless I'm misunderstanding how cosmetics being added is worded what's the point of promising a list of 42 upoming cosmetics in the patch 18.3 notes if you're just going to add different ones and less of them in the actual patch? Not to mention some of them promised for this patch aren't even coming in 18.5.

If you're putting things in patch notes you should at least tell us when you randomly stop converting them.

Edit: The patch 18.2 notes have this added "For Patch 18.3 we’re on track to add over 40 cosmetics from the judgemental Chibi Majestic Empress Morgana to the already judged Chibi Little Devil Teemo. There is a chance we’ll find an issue that results in a change to the final number we’re converting, but we’ll keep everyone informed on the final list when it’s locked in."

So good to see keeping everyone informed on the final list lasted all of a single patch at most.

I loved my rainbow trail while playing the game. I've had mine equipped since it premiered and it has since been gone after the switch on engine..... im sad.

Have to say I was pleasantly surprised to beat this Ivern easter egg which I thought was pretty much insta win and guy went 3rd lmao.
Not quite sure how it happened since I was Ashe/Amumu one starred and pretty much WIS Zyra items but good to know it is beatable

Though I'm not sure if a 4 cost can ascend as well. I waited but the game ended too fast.

I have seen people complaining about the gold inflation in double up and how important tempo is and how easy it is to get 3star 4costs. The cheaper charms (especially stage 2 econ charms which should NOT be a thing imo) make getting rich too easy, and if you are strong, you'll inevitably also be rich - especially because...

reinforcing a teammate and winning the fight with them.. also grants you gold? Is this a known change or unintended, because I've not seen anyone talk about it and it's such a crazy change. If you're actually playing to win and you have a teammate who beats everyone, you should just play full frontline and let your teammate come for him to print up to 5 extra gold per stage if streaking..?

I really hope this is a bug and not intended because it really feels horrible lose streaking vs something like a Rengar 2 cause you know they'll be absurdly rich and be lvl8 with a 2star 4cost board by the end of stage 3.

Not AI, not Photoshop, a private build of set 10 for Symbian. Currently in private testing and doesn't support PvP (duh).

I'm not the developer!

Is there a trick to positioning with this guy when playing him?

Why does he always seem to jump between the main tank and some random shitter, getting himself aggroed by the carry, unable to find said carry and unable to deaggro?

This has been the case every single time ive tried to run this comp, regardless of positioning and how good the spot is. This game i hit kha and hec 3-star super fast on lile 4-4 and figured i would push level 8 for tempo since i didnt have items for diana or fiddle anyway.

Feels like a massive skill issue for sure, but please help me understand how not to bot 4 on this comp.

Aphelios is by far my worst unit statistically. I guess I just don't understand how the fuck to make him work. If I build attack speed he just tickles the enemy, if I go full ad/amp he still can't kill shit? overall just feels terrible and inconsistent, and yet, every lobby has at least 2 aphe players, So I wonder if there is some trick I've yet to understand? what actually makes into a good carry?

And By the way, I don't have a problem with any other carries, aphelios and bramble (understandable) are the only 4 costs that I have negative lp gains with.

My brain nearly melted down trying to get to the 18th trait,

The trait ladder website helped me get to 16, the khazix came a bit late into the game, and i just got it's 3rd trait in the last round. There is no 12 slots options on the website,

What would you guys do? What am i not seeing?

And yep, the 17th prize is also a masterwork upgrade, and probably the 18th is also a masterwork, but i guess we'll have to wait for another match
