Hey folks, i recently did a game and i was really wondering what fundamentals did i do so badly that i got last place?
Vod: https://youtu.be/WGXwUjUUP-I

My review: - I think i had a decent opening, good 1st augment. Things started to fell appart when i clicked on Cosmic calling. I was going for an invoker team comp but decided to pivot into asol since i already had the nashors. Lastly, i'm not sure about the last augment too, i clicked it because i needed the JG but after looking at it again, maybe it was a mistake?

So yeah, really not sure how i f*cked this one up so bad to end up 8th... Any tips or feedback from any rank is welcomed!

Watch Dpei's TFT fundamental videos on youtube.

Check tftflow or tftacademy. Not to copy, but to understand. It shows ideal units/positioning/items. But you can change things around as needed in game, dont have to flow the guides exactly.

the general must haves:
3 item tank
3 item carry
anti heal
pen - based on main carry damage type (anti-mr or anti-armor)
traits for ur carry and tank active

Think about what stats the unit wants, and not specific items in most cases. Outliers like Rageblade on AP kaisa or IE for Yunara do exist. its hard to copy guides 1 to 1 because each tft game progresses differently.

Vod specific notes:

  1. Early game, keep units together so you focus your dps to kill units
  2. opened item anvils but picked wrong items. Dclaw early game is normally bad. (early game its mostly physical dmg vs magic dmg)
  3. could make sunfire at 2-5, but didnt
  4. ended up making nashors anyways, which was available early game
  5. used ori as item holder instead of kog/cait, ideally kog. would also allow to make econ
  6. mid game, ap item holders were not used (e.g. ahri)
  7. Asol wants to on board at 4-1, ended up getting it at 4-3
  8. Wrong asol items - should be shojin nashor deathcap
  9. asol wants to be positioned in the back middle (to hit more units)

Main way to avoid these mistakes is to read about the comp (ideally before playing it, but at least after picking the augment at 3-2 in asol pivot case)

Highly recommend looking at the dmg chart after everyfight. then you evaluate if the unit that ur items are on is being useful or not. Compare Orianna vs kogmaw dmg. Also, technically cait did the most dmg, but her dmg is mainly burst dmg and has overkill. DPS is normally more important than burst. But item on cait or kog wouldve been fine.

Thanks for the insight, very helpful!
I'm really curious to know more about certain pin-points:
3. Leona already has some kind of anti heal, should i still build sunfire in that case?
6. i know Ahri is really good this patch, but should i still use her as an itemholder even if it doesnt ''technically'' fit my comp traits? Or should i adapt my board to her instead?

Thank you mister, i'll put those tip in pratcice 😄

sunfire is still good with leona, cuz it still applies after leona dies. its less important if leona main tank (like in zoe/leona/malz reroll)

same with with voidstaff or spark (zoe only applies it to 2 units)

and even no synergy is fine, but u actually had kog2, and also u passed milio. ahri was just an example. also for carries, their dmg trait matters more than their region trait (so invoker for ori vs pilt, arcanist for ahri vs ionia)

Yo, thought you would like an update on my side!
I went from emerald to masters in just 20 days (double up). I don't have a loooot of time to play as i work full time
And i'm now diamond in solo! I have never grinded so quickly 😄

What helped me the most: Dpei videos on itemisation. I was often lacking burn/shred in all my game + your point 1. Having my board target the same enemy in early game instead of spreading
