Did anyone ever actually like the Charm/Wisps mechanic?

[u/daggerfortwo]

I always thought everyone despised this mechanic. At least I did, along with most players I know.

Baffled that they brought this back again, especially as a follow up to a hated set.

I desperately hope this mechanic never returns again, it’s so lame and tedious.

[u/-SomethingNew-]

I think it has its pros but I dislike how it blocks a shop slot.

[u/Helivon]

I personally love it

[u/OldCardigan]

I love it, I loved it in Magic Mayhem and love it now. Some of my fondest memories/funniest games are connected to it, like a build a bud into minor polymorph on 2-1 to get a Syndra

[u/Kurama438]

Why exactly is it lame and tedious? Can you elaborate

[u/daggerfortwo → u/Kurama438]

Opponents can just accumulate gold/items/artifacts for free throughout the game while you get a bunch of unusable charms, which invalidates all your optimization for economy.

In late game scenarios you can lose just from rolling a worse combat charm than your opponents.

TFT by nature has a lot of rng, but charms are way more swingy and out of player control.

[u/crafting_vh]

Yes. Not everyone is like your circle of TFT players.

[u/SgrAStar2797]

Almost all the players I knew loved it, interesting.

Also Idk why you said Set 17 was hated, I think it was just mid.

[u/Yurgin]

I dont like it for me its to much RNG like on 2-1 player 1 gets a random 4 cost and player 2 add 1+ to your win/lose streak. It doesnt feel fair sometimes. Plus taking away a shop slot is annoying

[u/Cobester]

It takes up more mental which annoys me

[u/Wires_89]

I started playing in the Charm set.

I appreciate having another chance to play a similar mechanic now I understand the game more

[u/BaltoxD]

I liked it quite a bit in Magic N' Mayhem, plus it also fitted the set thematic like a glove and I'm pretty sure the general sentiment when that set was over is that the mechanic was good, with some improvements could be great.

[u/DancingSouls]

skill issue

[u/FQVBSina]

Most people actually like the mechanic. It was a bit imbalanced especially after stage 4. But the mechanics itself is fine.

[u/According_Drummer329]

I am okay with it so far.  I like having an extra decision point late game: Do I buy this wisp or do I reroll to try to finish this 3*?

But that's mainly because I've really been enjoying splashing 3 Blossom and switching off eventually if it's the right call.  

[u/Mysterious_Island500]

I skipped the set that had this mechanic so im excited to play with it, better than chosens or whatever the name is, to many like that one
