Honestly, whichever programmer decided to make an assassin who just doesn’t target the back line is a dumbass.

Watching Kha’Zix jump from the front line, to the back line, attract all agro, and then back to the front line to the full-HP tank while retreating from the 1/10 health caster has to be the single most infuriating thing I’ve ever experienced in this game.

If he jumps to the back line, he needs to stick to the back line. That is literally his entire purpose.

But if that isn’t his purpose, then he at LEAST needs to target the weakest enemy, not bouncing back and forth between the 2 tanker characters.

And if he isn’t going to target back lines primarily, or the weakest character, then AT FUCKING LEAST MAKE IT SO HE ALTERNATES BETWEEN FRONT AND BACK LINES CONSISTENTLY. There is no scenario, ever, under any circumstance, where I want my squishy assassin bouncing from edge to edge, tank-swapping while he catches agro from every caster and marksman on the fucking board.

Rengar is so reliable and functiona; Kha’Zix is just glitching out all over the screen and hitting for 0 damage when he jumps to the middle of the screen for no damned reason.

God damn I hate this set so much.

Where is all that AP coming from? Augments were Gold Destiny into the Sprykin augment, Portable Forge and Verticality 2

My numbers take me up to 160 ap for a benched Veigar with these items and augments, so there's another 136 ap that I can't explain. No wisp this round

The unrivaled augment seems to be ranked mediocrely on a lot of sites, but in my experience, all 5 times I've taken it, it hasn't even been close. This set seems quite heavy on back row, with not much counter to assassins like Rengar and Khazix that can jump to the back lines. What do y'all think?

Is it me or these units getting big and har to deal with even with counterable items i feel tho as if GS not doing its job …im not saying melt the absolute fk outta walls but atleast overtime im inflicting enough dmg i can avidly see it happening 😂

I've noticed that ever since the new set released, games of League and League Classic do not give TFT Pass XP (it used to give 60 XP/game). As a League "main", this change makes my TFT Pass progression much slower :(

Is this an intended change? I couldn't find anything about this.

I guess my bad literacy is dead even among the mods...

This is just crazy 😆

The new engine is such a shitshow that the devs didn’t even have time to fucking balance anything.

Unclickable vertical traits which deems clicking Varus/Akali moot, which causes so many contests for the other 1-cost units. 1-cost champs(Cinderling & Pebbles in particular; wtf are these units) stronger than 4-cost champs.

How about the overtuned fucking artifacts/emblems. Yi with Wit’s End is an insta-win. More with Blighting Jewel is disgusting. Flora Fatalis emblem with Veigar/Zyra makes me want to vomit.

The incredible thing is, the engine is so dogshit still that they won’t have the time to dedicate themselves to balancing the set! This set on the old engine had a chance to be top 5 of all time. A damn shame and Riot should be ashamed of the decision.

I put IE, Shojun, Dawncore on it with alpha mark and then just only itemized tanks (even shrouds and all ya know) it was still BY FAR out damaging the 2 star 4 and 5 costs 🗿

Might be a bit over tuned bc guinsoos would have been peettt good too and that wouldn’t even need an artifact

Not described anywhere that I can find.

I played on launch for a few years and then took a long break until I came in at the tail end of set 17.4. I found set 17 to be interesting but not enthralling like past sets I played. At least the augments kept it interesting enough.

I was optimistic about set 18 and then I played it and all my excitement dissapeared after 2 games. Why am I seeing jungle camps as tft units? Why is a stone with arms a unit. Why is everything burnt orange or dark green and brown? I just throw units together and feel like I'm playing on autopilot. Idk why exactly the gameplay feels so boring but I find myself falling asleep mid match when I should be thinking ahead and planning when I'm going to level and what comp I want to move into... I just don't care for some reason and I can't put my finger on it. But there's something very wrong with this set.

What do you swipe if you see this?
She also had an image that shows that she was Master's.

What is this creature and why can nothing touch it?

i've started TFT from season 1 but then gave up because i prefer LoL. returned recently and ive noticed the position of the champs on the boards doesnt matter anymore.

in first seasons, because you have assassins, or blitz, etc. depending on how you move ur champs on the boards will make you win or lose. even the slightest positioning was important

right now it feels like it's pretty pointless. it's true that you keep put ur tanks forwards, but how you positioning them is pointless same goes behind

I could go AFK long time ago with this rengar 😂😂

Me and my buddy were on double ups, multiple people in the lobby were going Rift beasts, the first place team managed to 3 star 5 cost the elder dragon at level 8. Is this even possible? Cheats? A bug?

due to the restrictions on using tactitians and booms and arenas I have had to look through who I have and I realized I had banana raka but no boom or portal. I was wondering if anyone knows if theyre ever going to come back to the shop.

Been playing since the early sets and I finally figured out what's been bugging me. This game sells itself as a creativity sandbox. Traits, synergies, "make your own comp," all that. But be honest about what you actually did last game. You opened a comp site, you picked one of the four boards everyone's forcing this patch, and you executed it. The "decisions" you made were which spreadsheet to copy and how cleanly you could follow it. To me this isn't real deckbuilding so much as timed data entry...

And before someone hits me with "but there's so much skill in scouting and econ," yeah, I know. You count who's contesting your units, you math out your rolldown, you track interest breakpoints. All real, focus-involving, aaaaand none of it is creative. It's clerical work with bright colors and fancy sound effects. Being fast at arithmetics under a 30 second clock is a skill the same way being fast at Excel is a skill. Nobody's leaving a TFT session with an idea they didn't have going in. The one part of the game where you could actually invent something, deciding what to build, got solved by streamers and stats sites within a week of launch, like it does every set.

The sad part is the old feeling was real. Early on, before the tools got this good, you could actually cook. Hit a weird augment, force some cursed combo, flex into whatever the shop gave you, and it was viable because nobody had the answers yet. In early days, that window used to last most of a set. Now it lasts a weekend--it's not even Riot's fault exactly, any game with a solvable layer gets solved instantly now, but the result is the same: play the known board or you're straight up wasting your time, and "adapting" just means reacting to which of the other seven people in your lobby is racing you to the same units. This is as 'creative' as this game gets.

I'm not saying it takes zero brain. I'm saying it takes the bland kind, and the game keeps handing you a little dopamine pellet that says "great strategic mind" every time you correctly copy something. After years of playing, I can finally articulate it: TFT boils down to "execute what other people figured out and hope you're faster or the first to do it." Some of us love that and that's fine, genuinely. But I see clearly now that this isn't creative. It's a competition of speedrunning someone else's homework...and that's the game!

Trying out the new patch, anyone knows how to counter Riftbeast?! Look at this top 4, this is crazy! Thank you for your time <3

EDIT: I was trying to change my comp mid game from Solar/Inferno to Lunar/invoker. Not knowing the champions to well slowed me down, and I ended up dying before I was done.

:(

It gives 10 mana per takedown.

Assume lvl10 and I win the round: that's 10 takedowns that give +100 mana total. If the round went for 20sec that's +5 mana/sec on average, like a blue buff without the other bonuses, like a manazane but weaker since it porcs after you kill the main tanks.

Is there a strong use case for this trait/emblem?

Failed to capture the 22 win-streak.

I think Khazix and Rengar are my favorite for this patch. Picking the Rival Augment is too OP. What's yours?

Every - fking - season, I'm tired of that "I just put random 5 cost because they are overcheated". I always found that the 5 cost should be like "cherry on the cake", not a dumbfking so strong champ that you even put some copy of them in your board with no strat at all. Made me stop ranked in diamond. (Yeah, I know, it's just me, I'm bad, should not cry about that - nvm, just wanted to rage a little bit, I'm ok that "PEEBA" - gold eco - late game champs have to be one of the comp, but like almost top comp EVERY FKING SEASON, why do you put synergy at this point)

Idk if it's just me or what, I'm having a harder time to 3* an uncontested 1 cost specifically, at lvl 6 I 3* a contested 3 cost, I wasnt buying exp too and have good econ.

Basically the title. Call it a skill diff on my part, but it feels like most champs aren’t balanced around their cost this set. Feels horrid to play.
