i can take infinite utility augments and use them and run a slightly different variant
kinda think this comp is just an easy example of what hero augments are kinda meant to be
pick a utility one and that just kinda flexes around what ur end game board will be
pick a carry one and either commit to rerolling or playing tempo fast 9 + dropping ur augment
every game I prayge for the nasus carry augment
in my zed games so far ive played: ekko stun , vayne edge of night, and fiora hp on hit for team
oh and i played the zed augment that is like "ur team charges towards ppl and gains attack speed on takedown"
I haven't had any 4 cost hero augment games yet
looking at my match history in 6 games ive played 1 carry augment and it was the annie game xd
ive also played teh vayne edge of night augment 3/6 games lol
pretty sure that augment is giga broken
do you have a favorite yet?
theres so much shit I wanna try but haven't yet
feels like viego and taliyah help out ur zed finish targets a lot more where as mf just kinda chips down the entire board
ramblinns whole theory of the set is that u need 2 carries and a tank on every board
from what I've seen so far seems fair
so i havent tried it yet but i assume for zed u can really just run like asol/soraka as well
and then u can also probably run any of the backliners and sub out zed for like... idk viego probably other stuff im not thinking of
oh maybe like belveth also
its also cool how carry augments just enable some wild comps
simply no way to have seen this coming
camille 3 kinda owns tho wish i hit it on pace
clear play was to go 8 sac the hero augment but thats boring as hell 
Learned Nothing 
I think the trend for me being a sweaty try hard CUCK is that I just won't click the carry augments often
Seems inevitable
Apparently the wukong one is kinda nuts

did he ff lmao
no he just got blasted
23 minute death is honestly incredible
weve all been there
my double fon samira just got 1shot by a 3star yuumi's 1st cast 
underground dream dead 
smoge
Getting a heist level every 2 losses is very pog
yasuo moving a hex if it gives him a better tornado brings me joy
played a slightly different variation of zed this game with my duo carry being just a zoe 2 with a morello and actually she kinda owned
only reason this even came about was the items i was given + viego being 4 way contested lol
yasuo is my fave 2 cost
i dont really like him from a balance standpoint feels too smart/powerful for a 2 cost
make units smarter

making a unit like yasuo smarter just means u dont have to position him as well
personally i think thats bad
Put Annie in and that boards cn approved 

my games today have been much harder than yesterday
avg placement 4.5 and bot 4 in 4/7 games vs 0/9 yesterday
plat definitely took a lot longer than i thought it would at the start of today kek
o well though daily goal achieved woohoo
I hope you enjoy your food now
lmao go eat
2 games in a row I get offered annie augment
and then proceed to get perfect items for a taliyah comp
man grinding at plat is kinda tilting, like id prefer to just be back at challenger but my god this set is so good man
im sure some of it is just the meta being undefined but i feel like u can just flex infinite
I also really love no colossus/dragon mechanic
tried to multitask world quests and chain bot 4'd 
This was me doing the gnoll rares
I made so many simple mistakes

the hard reset at the start of a set is really fun community thing but i do feel like maybe it should move a wee bit faster or be slightly less hard
grinding my ass off to plat 4 and beyond meanwhile i know if i logged in in 2 weeks i'd hit plat 4 in 10 games
It should be like regular league where after your first placement game it doesn’t just chuck you back down into iron
But somewhere close to where your mmr was at the end of last season
i do think its probably slightly less fun if it does only reset u diamond
idk its probably fine i guess the best part of teh climb is around when everyone is hitting masters
the system above masters 0 lp is just so much better than the 100 point divisions
get me out
Gnoll rares spawn every 10 mins
And set rotation
Yeah I should’ve set a timer
i can feel the call
maybe there is an issue where traits arent overly worth it in this sett
but god dam do i love it
prankster rather pog
Ok yeah I am kind of abusing a lot of the same stuff every game but still the slight variations idk man I'm loving this
just the find ur way to level 8, roll down 2* some stuff get some tanks on ur board get some carries, put the items on units that hold them well/generally have an AP and an AD carry its sick
i think i have 1 slight complaint in that it feels hard to find a guy that can hold AD items even remotely as well as zed to me
where as AP has like viego, mf, soraka, zoe, asol, fiddle
but i mean in theory it should be like zed, samira, senna, urgot, aphelios
first game of the set in ranked started well
but also oof guy high rolled 3 star viego
wish new sets you didnt have to start from the very bottom
God I wish this was me
It feels weird hey
really depressing 4-2
i really hate that its a thing
especially if im behind and lookin for a bailout ill tailor my board sometimes
save reroll and everything..
early Poe launch goodbye forever set8...
Not forever bro
my reward for holding challenger for 2 months in uncharted realms
Don’t you get a little legend as well
same 1 that people who are gold get sure

12 minute 1v1 
played like shit the last 2 days but dont feel like playing poe either hope my brain fixes itself 

holy shit beat a 3* viego

kaisa comp is pretty pog
@vague wind i think my tft addiction is outweighing my poe addiction
kinda sad i wanted to have fun blasting in poe
but anyways me back to abusing zed
slightly punished for not playtesting my build
dont really enjoy how reliant on hitting whirling blades correctly VG is
oh good
i guess im back to poe
im sure this bug will be taking over the ladder and wont be fixed until monday bc all of riot tft is at summit
oh wtf
do u know what causes it
nah
most likely just playing 3 gadge on board then swapping out to 2 last second as round starts with w key
can see in that ss and in match history hes mostly playing 2 gadge and holding 1 on bench
cringe
really wish tft would ban for things like this but of course they wont so people will just take their free lp inflation bc why wouldnt they
honestly think its a bit stupid for riot to send most of the leads of their dev team off to a lan event during a set launch but i cant really fault them too much for this in particular
usually they fix bugs like this in sub 12 hours and it sucks that the ladder gets ruined by it but w/e thats a pretty quick response
What does it do? Make em permanent or let you stack on bench?
make permanent and then u still get a new one
ye
They wont but still annoying
so fkn cringe
yeah you could say im getting the drop on this guy 😏

just imagine loaded dicing galio 3 on 2-1 and your game ending with a 5 round 1v1 against a zed player who's cycling his zephyrs every round
tfts simply unparalleled
And it’s like front page of tft reddit now so rip all weekend
@final glade did u see this
That's based
ye I'm not seeing anyone abuse it so far
lmfao summit lobby was colluding for like 15 minutes to make sure kurum & souless went 7/8 to extend the final round past checkmate win
4 person elimination round and theyre 1 point short 
5 underground at 3-1

I'm gonna fuck this by not knowing when to cash out I can already tell
i dont like that there was no followup...
aha I went coward and took a fairly early cashout and used it to transition to mecha jax

@slate talon SECOND DEGREE BURNT MOST OF MY LRFT HAND YESTERDAY COULDNT USE IT APL DAY WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN QUEUED TFT,COULDNT SCOUT COULDNT DO HIGH APM THINGS COULDNT THINK STRAIGHT
-200 LP
Fuck bro hope you’re ok and it’s not as painful today
It's not painful at all today just some inconvenient blisters
All is well but yesterday was not well
glad to hear its better today man that sounds painful as
yeah i dont thinmk ive ever had a burn hurt for more than like 5 minutes
so 8 hours was quite the experience
how'd it happen
my skillet is warped on the bottom so it never fully balances on burner
this made me not notice that it was off balanced more than normal and it fell towards me and i caught it with my left hand on reflex
and then i basically held it in my hand for a good second and a half before my brain caught up with the situation
my first thought was oh fuck my chicken is on the floor and my second thought was oh god i hope i can play wow still
the chicken was not saveable but wow will be okay 
damn 1 from 2 ain't bad I suppose
I'd probably have the exact same thought process lmao
i honestly would have probably gotten an mmo mouse and tried to play 1 handed
would not have been great
probably not terrible either tho lol

just played such a clean game of tft but with raid out feel like I'm gonna be so washed by the time I can play consistently again


though tbf i think its like 1-2 weeks of m+ and then it can be tft if u want it to be
and if u dont want it to be bc wow is fun than thats okay too 
based asf
last time i played this i went giga 8th
but this time i hit way earlier and have better items
Yeah I did poorly last time I played it
But I think your items are far better than what I tried lol

I tend to agree
@slate talon LMAO had the rare tft shit talker in my game
said 3 nasus sorry lil bro to me on 3-2
i end up hitting and going 1st, so i on the way ping when i kill him

he proceeds to tell me my entire life is a failure bla bla etc and his closing line was this
HAHAHA
what a child man
the giveaway of thinking 10k a month is an insult hahahhaa
Tft shit talkers are a different breed
his first insult was "good luck on getting into school american dog"
LOL
man that was great honestly
I do love it
also the irony of him calling me a loser multiple times while i am in fact not losing and he in fact did lose
Better Nasus gamer wins
mortdog makes it too easy sometimes
level 8 40 gold fiddle pair on 4-1
weird..
oh and 100 hp xd
Holy shit lmao
Can't wait to tft instead of m+ 
how'd I just stop before getting the emote locked in man..........
at least it's the week 4 instead of week 1 climb ahead 
i take it back i was a dirty lucker
Oof
Can’t believe they’re sleeping on blakespace
😦
i didnt even make the tourney this set
the cutoff was real high and it turns out when wow is the majority of my gaming brain i am not nearly as good at tft
Yeah my tft has fallen off hard lately
(1/3) In 13.3, we're making a big change to Hero Augments, and you'll get 4 rerolls. We're making this change because we've heard how, for a lot of you, you only have so much time to play TFT, and getting to play something you enjoy is important for having fun with the game.
3046
189
Actually massive
really bad change not happy at all
hope they revert it or ship it in a different form
good change for getting rid of the unfun feeling games related to 2-1 hero augments at teh cost of making 3-2 and 4-2 augments significantly worse
=/
True
why go from 0 guarnteed rerolls to 4 its just insane
3 options to 15 especially when 3-2 and 4-2 are tailored is just so bad
4 does seem a bit excessive
feel like 1 or 2 guaranteed rerolls would be way better
idk i hope they get rid of hero augments in the half set if they feel like they need to do this
games with 4-2 and 3-2 hero augments are just gonna force u to roll to 0 on 6 or 7 to 2* ur carry
especially 4-2 with only 12 of the unit in the pool like if ur playing viego and ur contested u just know thats like -3+ viegos just from the peoples orbs
idk really bad change but its so obviously bad i have some faith that they wont go through with it
it is a good change for 2-1 hero augment games though so at least its only bad 66% of the time and not 100% of the time
This ngl
I disliked chosen and they feel worse than chosen to me as a on and off tft gamer
i like hero augments a lot
i just think this change is so directionally wrong
like if people hate them so much that riot feels something like this is necessary, then whether i like it or not it should go
is my take
ya agree
i dont particularly love the variance of hero augments (especially when you're scared of rerolling your options from mediocre to go next) but near guarantee (unless they allow repeats, but still practical guarantee with 3-2 tailoring) is insane
hard forcings like my least favorite part of the game anytime they add something to enable it i get
real quick
i miss set 4 
at the same time now you can force 4fun augments down to 0lp 
i think there is a chance that conceptually this is a bad change but in my own games i end up liking it
certainly guaranteed hitting the augment i want would make me have more fun, just unclear whether that gets out weighed by the entire lobby also hitting
all skill 
get this augment out of my pool man i simply cant resist
oldest 10 games are last 10 from previous patch and most recent 10 are from current patch
it clicked 😎
please game let me dodge the 2 unit guy 
the mythical 7
no...
1/10 away from 7heist 

im beginning to think there is correlation between 431 raz bow and LP in tft

@vague wind @slate talon u ever be rich af
yuumi needs to die in a fire in both riot games 
smurf econ does hit diff
other guy had 9 nilahs and iwanted to hit everything 

@vague wind worst cashout of all time?
got 3 fiddle ults diffed
already knew what u picked before scrolling down 

actually so true
changes look mostly good, teh cat has been removed which is all i could've ever dreamed for
i think 2 new 4 cost AP carries both being spellslinger is abit weird, seems like ur just always running both rather than 2 comps being likely
not a fan of admin being 1 tank, 2 ad, 3ap,4ad basically makes it awkward to play both ur 3 and 4 cost but whateverrr
neat changes overall
https://youtu.be/gnKoK7nCCDw pbe tomorrow
The mid set for Monsters Attack heads to PBE tomorrow, so it's time for a rundown for what you can expect as you head to PBE. Lots changing, so watch and see, and hopefully you're excited. Don't glitch out!

Ngl the first thing I scrolled to when I read the preview was gadgeteen 5 
When I get my first anima spat I'm forcing riven jhin just to feel alive again

wtf lmao
The Golden Egg Turns to Hatch: 10 ⇒ 11
Underground Average Payout increased at heist levels 4/5/6/7
Worst or best patch? Hard to say
best cuz underground more common than egg
so we have to sacrifice the egg to get more pog underground games more often
wait a sec


im raiding now but i was havin fun on pbe though i can tell its very quickly going to fade
3 games played 3 1sts, 3 3* 4 costs already xd
played camille reroll renegade + voidborn thing, infiteam lucian/panth reroll, and threats with aatrox 3
yeah idk ive never played a .5 all that long, like my 5th game in i somehow ended up kayle reroll (golden ticket opener into 5 cost hero augment
) after lookinga t what i could supers of the new champs and got kinda sad
im sure cool stuff will arise from Bigger Brains just not all that hype about any new champs besides tf and jhin tbh
and jhin truly is just because i liked sets 3.5 and 4
maybe that changes with trying to find inhouses tho games cant stay novel too long if theyre always half bronze
i kinda expect to off and on play the entire half set, i think .0 was lacking in amount of meta shifts + the wow tier existing just means im not really close to done with the set and i think its a good enough set in 8.0 to not really need many changes to keep my interesting for .5
no game refuses to give me 1cost 
is that the x casts = gold one
or something like that
ok i just get the 4cost version with 2 tf already 
31 gold on stage 4 
alright i hit tf 3 at 6-1 with 1 life left then tf ult fizzles while playing the whole animation twice 

viego jhin feels like home i take back my anima spat comments NOT needed
when anyone plays 5 gadget on pbe
yes guys i think 5 gadget is still broken ! perhaps we dont need to test it
im gettin flamed

jhin kinda busted for loaded dice
2 avg per shop at 9
i do think my pbe time is coming to a close already
i can only play and lose against so many people playing comps that are good on live with 0 new units with 0 lp at stake before i lose my mind
actually disgustingly cringe
to be fair to the draven reroller
his comp was technically new bc he was saccing a garen instead of a sett
so props to him on that one
i dont really blame these people too much, if no one played the old shit on pbe then i'd be way more contested on the new/creative shit
but if im gonna play against people sweating i really need there to be a +-lp at the end of the game
@final glade thoughts on the items popping off from carousel change
good change
think the items always popping off bug was way too much but just from carousel results in a lot of good feels
seems really neat ye
id say poor guy but he just clumped his ap vs my defenders and i lost 
infini team is cool
@final glade https://blitz.gg/tft/updates?section=items we ready bro
Looks like a big shakeup
should be on pbe 31st of may
That’s today 

simply love content
curious how the balance of the 15 underlords is gonna work out but im down to be hopeful 
im draven push levels 20/20 
as soon as I saw Draven I knew underground enjoyers had found their home
Maybe gonna hit the pbe a bit after work
see you there ill b e one of the 6 lee sin yordle forcers 
im in im in 
Going bedge now gotta test tomorrow
at least another 14 hours expected 

after talking with a friend who is an arpg head and a tft head like me i might just end up playing diablo
was gonna go hard on tft beta but he reminded me of how cringe pbe often is with ppl abusing broken stuff and theni was thinking about how i dont have pointless lp to motivate me
"Any news on PBE yet?"
Nope. Progress is being made and things look good, but no ETA. Could be a few hours, could be another day.
Thank you all for continued patience.

Still not really feeling Diablo somehow
ya its fun to try but i will never understand the appeal of going on pbe to spam 10 games of mech jax

wtf
yeah its awful 
Surely this has to be bugged to have an extra 0 right
Like no way tft is this popular for beta
The pbe queue numbers always displayed insane but game queues were also minimum 45 minutes to grab a server so hard to say
doubled server capacity for pbe this time and it was nowhere near enough 
Yeah the only hesitation for me is that china has to use that pbe server
So like maybe it really could be a real number but my god
Also did not realize this my lord
They're nerfing draven augment before I got to try it 
pickin this with 50 minute queues seems suspect in retrospect
but im winnin out ez piltover cashout 4-3 into level 9 full board transition 
my first game on pbe always ends up some degen loss streak bullshit 
ya ive had no trouble getting in, just playing d4 between 40min queues 
I tried like 5 times today and always some kind of error
got the extra 2 gold on loss/ component every 5 losses augment and the servers went down for maintenance at 2-6 
Wait I’m confused I thought augments were like guaranteed now based on ur hero thing
its just 1 per stage depending on the legend you choose (or 0 if you choose the 'no tailored augments' one)
theyre only getting enabled with today's late patch
Ah ok
i really like the new augment rerolling, feels nice to be able to save a safe pick and yolo the other two
like 5min game queue
@vague wind have u been playin a bit what kind of legends have u tried out
im doing a prismatic lobby caitlyn game rn and im cookin my lord
ya caitlyn seems really strong on pbe ive only plyaed like 2-3 games post patch tho
everyone plays boards that just lose to 2 upgraded units
i did a game of draven force streak into lose in a really dumb way (already forgot it was real dumb tho) into a yordles force where i rolled ~80 for poppy 3 even with lee sin so im never pickin trade sector again

my 6 slayer double trouble Zed board wins against any other 8 sorc ryze surely 
kek

i feel like id end up defaulting to draven because its fun and seems fine if you can capitalize on an early 2* but idk always feels impossible to tell whats actually gonna be good on pbe
i dont trust draven feels from pbe at all
people just absolutely refuse to play a strongboard on pbe
im playing a cho'gath reroll game rn gonna be fun to see what he gets up to 
3*d him on 3-2 lol
update, underwhelming
playing draven with a decently juiced heimer turret and just making 10+g per round kinda epic
azir also seems quite powerful this game my lord
is this a bug wtf did i just witness
getting beyond rolled by someone playing demacia reroll though
its a galaxy where the unit with the crown item dying = insta loss
and it gives a bunch of health+as then other stats based on positioning
he unequipped it the next round then i started losin 
Lmao
ya apparently some accounts are just bugged for the weekend ive never had a queue 
must be nice 
3 pbe games total i think im already kinda over it
every game just ppl playin asol or some greedy shit going 9 and playing 5 costs :bedge:
can never play teh real video game until live
at least i have fun for the first like 30 minutes every game
ya pbe never feels "good" longterm unless its similar skill inhouses tbh
especially when half the sorcs are bugged in a bad way 
i left it open in the background whilst i did an assignment
the queue crashed and the bug got worse

no pbe till next week it seems

its not changing 
@vague wind shout out to people exploiting for pbe lp

sark bench for set 9 launch? 
did u haveto do this more than once
ye its a specific one its pre scuffed
playing a hedge fund game rn 📈
Love lucky gloves
@vague wind u feel any type of way about them removing stats
not really
I think just looking at baseline stats is a really easy way to bait yourself but the explorer for conditionals was really nice
so if I must become a follow my heart player than I shall
ye basically how i feel
like i do think them removing it isnt something i agree with and very minorly takes my fun down but ultimately just dont care and am kinda surprised by the amount of people who do care
If it means I can watch a Stream without them tabbing out and pretending a .1 placement difference matters 3 times a game I'm good with it
trutru
What's stopping me from getting an API key and just compiling the stats for myself and not publishing
the people saying it's a riot plot so we don't know how unbalanced the game is and they don't have to try are real funny tho
im about to have the weakest board ever
13 interest down to 2 health level 9 dont mind if i do 
Cursed crown taxing me on cooldown 
its missing +3
hm. sometimes it just doesnt go your way.
oce :deadge:
its very pog
I didn’t manage to play a single pbe game bc it was always bugged
So no idea what to play 
I just been yoloing it
I like Asol
this one?
nah I just yolo'd my own
and its popping off
its literally just all the void champs + yasuo with a void emblem

it does seem suoper fun
looking good so far
the gold asol augment is just so good
took 3 asols 

ok got fucked hard by void twice now
pretty sure thats an easy top 4 comp but not for first place
got to lvl 10 tho 
and 2nd place
ok void is fun
u get 8 yet?
no sadly not
this was my fav comp on pbe, though i like dropping urgot/akshan for more frontline/util often
my strat for live is/was gonna be playing bruiser/void flex
try to open void every game and then go vertical void if i hit a +1 or just player bruiser frontline + w/e backline
didnt play much pbe after the a patch on monday where it got nerfed but i imagine its still good
yeah that seems good
that was fine too
not sure what I feel about choosing the world at the start
got that crown of demacia this round
no idea how to play that
probably the kaisa carry is good for that
bc she always dies last
immediately from game 1 on live its so apparent how worthless pbe is
everyone just playing so much stronger boards than anything i saw on pbe

best comp so far is the deadeye one for me
seems like zeri and void as close to equal to me then a decent size gap then aphelios
i wouldnt hate the take that those 3 comps are equal
think bt titans urgot is just broken and fits in both deadeye and zeri but yeah zeri is really clearly ahead of deadeye through my first 5 games
im 2,3,3,3,2 and been outplaced by zeri in every game lol
î'll try it again this round
solid so far
i just died to perfect lethal wihtout hitting 
i wanted to go 9 then someone hit yasuo 3 out of literally nowhere...
that shoulda been the freest first but i missed a zephyr and all of a sudden the other guy i was rinsing every fight had half his team at 400 hp 
greeding for 2 instead of just hard committing urgot 3 and winning 
took the bait of playing piltover day 1 
almsot beat gwen 3 with collector zaun portal 6sorc spat ryze 
no 1sts then i force zeri and go 1st weird..

kayle seems so weak i think i got baited into rerolling that and getting poppy 4...
maybe just a side effect of poppy getting ksante'd off and me going 5th
yeah i think they killed kayle at some point
also more and more games making me think bt titans urgot is just exodia
could just be an aphelios matchup thing but i swear this unit tanks 10k aphelios damage
also idk if tf is just broken or what but half the time im playing these zeri boards
and they have bis zeri and also 3 zekes and still bt titans urgot
and its like where tf are all these items from man
only 3 carries? 
ya some of the portals and augs are insane for item gen
im not entirely sold on tf but its definitely comfy to be able to guarantee bis eventually
til zeri gets hit for sure
i griefed my placements with a 5th so its gonna be a long climb 
im top 4 every game but 1 4th and only 1 1st
think last set i had 3 1st in my first 5 xd
Only time I tried it I had the demacia augment and then it seemed decent but without it prolly would’ve flopped
@final glade @vague wind what hero are u guys runnin mostly
Asol is fun but haven’t tried many others
ive been trying different stuff i just keep forgetting to swap off asol
ornn seems fine
tf seems fine
im probably going poro
Oh real
now i try killing sark i was promised bench 
kalista kinda nutty
I played a couple of tf immediately became a brain dead hard forcer and got my first bot 4s
Time to go back to urf/ornn/poro and actually just be good at the game
8 void pops up way too often
feel like if baron gonna be that strong it should be 9 void
Retweet
I'd be down for them to just makebaron suck way more though
I don't like near auto win traits even if they are very chase
Didn’t see it once so far
Ya they said they didn't want it to be an every 50 games thing so it's 8 instead of 9 but it's so game warping idk about it
2nd lobby in a row everyone is playing swain sth
playing a vertical challenger game rn and my god 📈
Kalista carry?
no everytime ive seen that unit she has looked extremely trash
she is on my board though
this is my board for rn
yasuo seems rather strong
he also seems so bad to me
i think hes easily the worst 4 cost carry
but this is like a classic duelist style comp where everyone is like 2/3 of a normal carry or maybe 1/2 of a normal carry
so hes allowed to be shit and still be on the board
tbf to yasuo i think kaisa also sucks as a solo carry
but with their powers combined they rival 1 zeri 2 
it is kinda sad im not on yasuo 2 yet though, surely yasuo with 6 challenger+these items should be peak yasuo w/e that is
this is around my avg dmg breakdown
ye only time I ran yasuo I hit em 2 with vert challengers and he had items
and it seemed pog

was 1 off urgot and kaisa at one point but decided to learn from @vague wind 's woes and committed for kaisa
i just gotta remember to play tft like a normal thinking human and not get tilted by x comp being op and then trying to force the comp
2 bot 4s hard forcing zeri and then i play fuckin lee sin vertical challengers and giga comfy 1st
I've heard lee is cool
i think his gold augment is probably bad
and u get gold augment like 60% of the time
but ive always been a trade sector fan
i click that shit when its avg placement is 5.
ye feel like the best ones are those who have a powerful gold augment at 2-1
i think i heavily fuck with legends
6/8 of my lobbies being TF forcing zekes is for sure lame but i imagine this phase will pass as this patch/set goes on
nice that i can queue up was w/e legend i feel like to force a certain playstle in each game or just play generic stuff and be unaffected by legends
its really cool that u can tailor it to how you like to play or want to play
fuck with it hard
i think if that manifests in the entire set being 6/8 of the lobby picking the same legend and doing the same playstyle like it is on live i will grow to despise this greatly
but for now i have hope
man these viego openers though 📈
no clue what im doing with this and i might throw but sheesh..
requires a lot to be good but it definitely can be
@final glade u tried cait?
holy hell
I never bought katarina, zed or Viego and it seems I missed out
i think the 4 rogue couldve been a bait just bc nothign was 2*
but yeah viego is very good until like 3-5
I kinda like the 18 rerolls that carry over but idk how strong it is for a gold augment
it feels really bad to me that augment is the main reason i dont fuck with cait honestly
i dont even necessarily mean that in a way that like it is bad, but i just dont like when my augment is like therotical power vs realized power
and even in the theoritcal power i prefer raw gold
the grey that gives +10 xp on 2-1 is nice
I still play asol all the time
I like Asol a lot
Somehow I fuck with it
Been branching out just to try stuff
Yeah I should try tf next
I like Ornn a lot
i dont know i think a lot of these augments of like econ or xp are good top 4 augments probably
but then late game u run into some guy with a board just as invested as u but then he actually has combat power augments as well
Yeah that’s true
i think a lot of the augments that give gold or xp end up making me feel insanely ahead on tempo, like games where im 50 gold level 6 on 3-2 vs games where im 20 gold level 6 on 3-2 both before rolling
6/7 yes
8 kinda yes but the level 8 meta was anywhere from 4-2to 5-1 before this
so its like... the same but a bit more weighted to 4-5/5-1 than before
ye 8 was always flexi
but it depends like if the portal gives gold
I legit never manage 8 early stage 4 without asol
whereas I knew 3-2 for 6
than its defintely pushed more to 4-2
did rerolling indvidual augments come this set
or was that a late addition to last set
its a this set thing
level 8 with 8 extra xp 70 gold on 4-2 in the game i just played xdd
i like it a lot
i think its fine
think tft is just playing to ur outs/mitigating ur rng etc and thats why its fun to me
and if they left augments how they were then its fine i can still do that, now its "easier" bc u can just not reroll ur best option and check out ur other options for free
but its still just playing around what the game gives u so to me its fun and if like legends and these reroll changes prevents people from feeling lost or feeling dread bc of having to play "unfun" things then thats cool
also tft set launches are so fun 
sweating my ass off playing streamers and challenger players fighting for lp in legit gold/plat/diamond basically meaning all the gains and losses dont matter at all but its still epic
Need to start my ranked games
how tf did i get here
wtf
what the actual hell
i dont have shred i lose to 6bastion azir 

I think azir and zeri are the 2 carries I've seen pop off the most
haven't seen like any aphelios yet
azirs like the only one that can actually kill baron its a bit of an issue for me 
havent seen a single azir comp in normals so far
FINALLY
zeri too strong i won at 3-5 
nvm no smoge jewelled lotus 3 dino kinda owns..

ive run this twice now on yorick galaxy and obviously its an expensive ass comp but seems real fuckin good 
everyone starts dying and all of a sudden you got 4 carries 
also didnt know you could steal other peoples fons with yorick lmao

Ok tried it had no idea how to open and went 8th 
oh ya its def not something you aim for you just kinda highroll and pivot if youre rich enough
What’s the yorick galaxy
Haven’t seen it yet
What’s the aug
when someone dies everyone gets to choose one of 4 items from their board to keep
when you star up a unit you get a free reroll
so you just hold 1 cost pairs all stage 2 and can end up chaining rerolls like mad
i think my record was 14 in 1 turn off 0 gold rerolls on pbe 
Holy shit
i dont really get it
everyone with a brain looks at htat augment for 1s and knows its broken and has known it since day 1
yet its live
main reason its so weird to me is i know the rioters who work on tft are good enough to recognize how op it is
was gonna pivot off cho reroll and go for reksai
and then i get offered on a roll
and get 12 free rolls and cho 3 from 3 chos in one turn

and malz 3 from 1 malz 
Kalista is eh but it was funny for 1 game
got 2nd tho so I'll take it lmao
anyone who rates this comp higher than like B is trolling tho
kinda impressive to 3* a unit while the rest of ur board is almost entirely 1* though
ye I ended up hitting the 2* of everything except senna eventually haha
tried out cait and got an early 3* cho
idk how good her 1st gold aug is compared to the pool but it was a lot of fun lol
we say its broken then here's this guy 
cait seemed p strong on pbe but i havent tried her on live now that people at least try to build real boards most of the game
he hit at 3-5 and we ar eno longer laughing...
this comp very fun
ok i CNANOT fuck this up
how do i do it...what no one else can?

that guy wasnt even my main carry i just had 8 after trying to cap my board and look where am i now....2nd...
Don’t talk to me or my sons again
prismatic cait on 2-1 is so pog
made up for it 
What a chad
its him v exodia



Clearly made the mistake of buying xp in the 2nd
Welcome back 
been playing just havent been in tsl recently
infernal contract the anti-noob trap 
what stages can that appear on
@vague wind i was kinda thinking and i feel like this might be one of the best balanced set launches ever
at least so far nothing feels like.. that oppressive and broken
i think set 8.5 for example took multiple patches to feel this balanced after having an entire 8.0 to work off of lol
ya i think id agree
i dont doubt something will crop up in the next 3 days and zekes/aspd scaling ing eneral might need a nerf or some shit but otherwise it seems p solid
yeah its jut kinda nice that even the like obviously good shit rn like zeri aphel garen all feel beatable or even just that there is enough room to play the op shit if u want to force it too
guinsoos is probably the big thing to hit imo the game isnt like perfect at all but the patch feels balanced
which is so rare for a set launch to me
usually by now im in tears about laser warwick being op or something and im ready to play my smurf until hotfix
ya if my biggest gripe at this point is "azir and lux feel a widdle bit harder to pivot into" thats prob a good sign
idk if im playing this right
nvm 2nd by 1 hp i own
Saw this pretty interesting
piltover 1v1 was exciting and i unfortunately won...
just straight up mirrored boards praying for aggro n crit rng
but i eventually cashed him out and he knocked 3 people out and i went 4th so 
one of my more fun games of the set so far
AP per kill 1st augment, AP per invoker cast 3rd augment
muramana was bad
I need a better grasp of which Ornn items are good and bad

k well i went 3rd in the kat game which felt very unjust
but then mortdog got me with the rng void spat into kaisa on 2-5 into belveth on 3-6 rift on 3-1, baron on 4-1 game
Just lost to high rollers or was the comp feelin a bit lacking
comp is very good
juggernaut 6 and garen are not remotely balanced
if the game is good that board goes 1st 100% of the time
I see I did not go heavy vert jugg when I tried garen
new katarina tech unlocked
@vague wind the more i play today im beginning to think 6 jug is a terror on this patch

repeatedly running into that comp seeming very unbeatable with the requirements to achieve being... get a jug spat
Ya it's just garen but idk garen seems so meh and beatable even at 3 star with 4 jug
And then 6 idk if I've seen it lose to sub 3* 4 cost
Talking with my wife about how we need to get some plumbing in our bathroom looked at: “Yeah so basically we’re just down a whole bathroom for fun”
TFT brainrot is real…
150
ye i saw it once today n got owned 

Let him cook
really feeling the kalista carry atm
that yasuo did hurt lol
ngl kinda gettin sick of how many prismatic games there are
im trying my best out here to fight it
Yeah agreed but id still prefer prismatic to half the other portals
True

such a cringe game just now 
triple social distancing deathblade aphelios
hard stuck aphelios 1 and go 5th by 2 hp
aphelios 2 wouldve been like a 150 AD upgrade
@vague wind need help do u know the riftwalk kassadin comp
i built bt qss dcap
and i gotta say this feels like a very very bad comp
probably got baited into bad items but comptft subreddit
maybe just building for 1 shot wouldve been better
solid 8th
i wish comptft was still protesting api changes
i saw 2 hero augment comptft guides and it legitimately seemed like the first guy to run the augment and care enough to write a post about it did
and it just got like gilded and shit
and i cannot imagine why anyone reads that and is convinced

I get baited so much by comptft
@vague wind
i queue up a game streaming with my friend saying i guess i'll try this game
so i go portable forge into zeri force
instant first


Playing Ornn or poro?
its just ornn rn if u want to sweat
chilled on aa thing and damage on range thing are too op
I'm playing tf only atm and its kinda crazy to alwas have perfect items
yeah i was doing a bit of tf, sommething that ended up kinda feeling bad for me was just playing against people who had perfect items without tf
then it just felt like i was down an augment
Fair
Actually didn’t find my preferred comp yet
been playing some garen and some kalista
that kalista comp just falls off so hard if you dont get senna fast enough
tft quirky game
sometimes i go 3rd and it feels like the best game ever and then sometimes i go 3rd and it feels the worst
someone thought he had the defeat ekko tech
tf lmao
eventually he realized once he got shen 2 he could just put it same side as aph and game would go overtime
and ahri/yasuo would finally do enough damage to kill
ive played like 10 games of it or something
think my average placement is like 4.3
which is not really very high compared to other stuff...
not that im particularly great at it
ekko 1 > ekko 3
(i didnt realize he was actually going for 3 til after i put a cybers value glove on kat and i regret it deeply but that games a 6th at best i think)
my placements til that game were 511 now theres an 8 in there
no ekko 2 even with pandoras bench cause of that guy randomly hitting 6 on his way to piltover cashing out 
I heavily underrated piltover
piltover is the worst losestreak/cashout mechanic of all time
great set and great patch love so many of the synergies
but my god is piltover awful
i don't really mind the idea of the thex but now that I think about it I think i've seen all of 1 sell since pbe 
i remember them doing some last minute tuning to piltover 6 and dont remember if they buffed thex but if not and that made it through playtesting, thats kinda crazy 
yeah for me its that selling makes u weaker 100% of the time and that u have to blind sell
ALSO
im playing sona with this set up
and my god
if their carry is opposite corner it is turbo dead
graphic driver crashed and i lost 1-2 

Is it all working ok tho
this comps got too much scouting for triyng to watch raid at the same time
alrighnt im 50 gold deep no ekko 2 im retiring
back to ethical play for me
not cut out for this world
Yeah 
Initial impression of that comp was like nice u can be so stable on like 3-5/4-1 and then chill and roll!
Then ur 10g level 7 4-1 2 ekkos 3 Kats and it's like oh nice I'm fuckin dead

i tilt queued another and forfeited, i regain my mmr tomorrow 
not getting baited 
Afk abuse
i went 9 with 42 gold and found 0 ahris 1 jarvan 
by the time i found ahri 2 i couldnt find a replacement velkoz to move items 
went 5th by 1 hp 
this next game the fucker ff'd when i had 8 ahris and was downgrading sorcs 
lost to ekko 3
(her items kinda dookie since i was trist but ya im not killing a transfusion cyber health ekko)

(im going 8th)
poggers board though

i swear this kat ekko board is actually so bad 
its like so hard to hit and then even once u do both of ur premiere carry units can just randomly grief a fight
but i like watching them both run around so thats epic
kayle feels like such a weird unit
its real fun to watch ekko do shit you know is making the other guy angry
but then you dont hit and its not worth it anymore
i dont think ive seen a kayle do well since like day 2 pbe that units somethin else
yeah I also hit noxus 9 and uh idk if I played it bad
but it seemed w/e
I didn't really have enough gold to maybe try and do like 2* aatrox noxus + another 5 cost 2* noxus
maybe that was the angle idk
eh its not uncommon for those types of verticals to be kinda underwhelming
without like 3 spats youre playing a bunch of dead units, they're not entirely traps but ya without something isnane to cap off your board, it'll generally be less good than say, 6 + 3 good units
Yeah it’s pretty pog to run around freely
@vague wind

probably the most fun board ive played
theres something really enjoyable about playing ap boards and watching all the spells do big dam 
it made me spam lagoon real early 
Man I hated lagoon
One thing I find kinda silly in how present it always is, is the 2 or 3 cost tank that scales with AP that the vertical always uses
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhH?
theres no way i miss
DID NOT MISS DID NOT MISS
i hate this game
I feel like inting the pullover guy is like..




yeah looks fun im excited
