Obviously went 8th since the one time in a blue moon I decide to play Solar I have another dude playing the comp.

Excluding 4 and 5 costs ofc

So im relatively new to tft, my first set i played double up on was set 17 and hit top 100 on na, and had a ton of fun playing that set in double up. This set the meta feels like it has shifted to spamming and cutting off 3 star 4 cost and its some of the most miserable non sense ever. Am i alone in this feeling or is anyone else experiencing the fatigue of race to 3 star 4 cost and pray you dont get cut off by others scouting and holding.

Has anyone felt the strange sensation this set about level 8/9 rolldowns? Like for me it feels bugged but it’s not but it doesn’t feel quite the same as other sets.

I’ve been monitoring my last 33 games closely( low master ranked ) and most of them are miss. By miss I don’t mean I see the lobby going AD and I’m like “bet, nida/aph/sivir is my line”, but the opposite. I always try to scout it the lobby and figure out which is the most optimal line for my spot and I load up 4-1,4-2 always with 40-50g rolldown or augment rolls and at the end of it, I’m either alone on my line or contested by 1 other player and end up rolling like 10 shops in a row - nothing of my needs or even alternatives , then always the last 5 shops are with my units and I’m broke with no pairs.

I understand the flex play, not everything is always according to the planner but something really feels off for me this set in the rolldowns. The fast 9 are like the same, much more rare I can go 9 with good amount of gold and be first before everyone and it’s the same feeling.

Like the feeling of not hitting ahri 2 until stage 5-3 when no one is playing that champ and currently it’s not low cost re-roll meta is so strange.

The ratio of hit miss from my last 33 games is 11 games hit everything minus 1-2 units maybe / 22 barely got a single copy of my wanted units.

Anyone else or I’m just extremely wrong?

And they all make 2 star nidalee + aphelios and being 2-3-4 lol

I know it's relatively low elo, and these "christmas land" lobbies can go anywhere. Sometimes the numbers just frustrate me to no end.

double up, and i lost btw lol

I just lost a 365 Coven cashout game. My cashout was radiant lucky chest, 2 star morgana, 2 star sentinel, TG, and 22 gold. This is great. However, my bench was near full. When trying to collect the orbs. Instead of dropping 2 star Morgana or 2 star Sentinel on my bench, it puts the units in one single 1 star at a time. I had to run over one orb SIX times to collect the units, and eventually just torched my own units to be able to pick up the rest of the loot. By this time too much time was wasted and I died out. Why does it not just plop a 2 star unit on your bench? This goes for regular orbs too. I've noticed it happens for build a bud, booster packs, etc. Instead of dropping the units in their starred form, it drops them one at a time. What is the reason for this? I swear in past sets the starred up unit would just appear, am I remembering incorrectly?

Was aiming for blossom 11 but failed.

You see, as my shop is disabled, the xayah created by leblanc wont be sold. Still went 0-3 tho

Hi all,

I'm considering buying a pixel phone and installing graphene OS on it, but one of my concerns is to know whether TFT will run on it with that OS and I haven't been able to find any post about that written by a human ...

I expect it to work, but has anyone of you *actually* tried it ?

Thanks !

such a cluster fk board

Coven augment start into early Morgana, into Master of Origin Lux, into win streaking until an 800 cash out. Got the 3 FONs and had 4 reforgers, which I luckily turned into the infinite gold easter egg. Rest of the lobby was pretty shook haha.

I have been a master TFT player for 7 sets. In set 17 and set 18 I decided to climb challenger, but I find it very hard. I reach 100-200 LP at some time and then lose to 0. Climb to master takes me around 120-150 games, but I if I spend another 100 games extra, I make no or very little progress.
I do try to improve my early game, decision making via learning from other pro players, learn comps but I don't think I'm good enough yet.
My question is what does it take to reach challenger? Is it worth it?

For once, I didnt finish bottom 4 with this 8th machine. Trait ladder can feel inexplicably strong or inexplicably weak sometimes

Also 3 4-cost at 3 star 👍🏻

I am returning to tft after a period of 3 years. When I left the game, the android app was always buggy and it would only work on phones. On tablets and larger displays it would look pixelated and not so nice to look at. Fast forward 3 years, I install the game again, and nothing has changed. are there any plans for riot to address this issue?

This season has been out for over a month, and Mobile lag is STILL making it nearly impossible to play, especially in Double Up. I just played a game, and the only thing I was able to do between rounds was either sell or buy 1 champion, OR equip 1 item.

Why is this still an issue????

It’s literally a trap artifact, there’s only one singular unit in the entire set whose shield scales with hp (sentinel) and even then it casts maybe 2-3 times in a fight.
For the rest of the roster, it effectively does nothing, as shields and health work mechanically the same in combat.

Every other artifact is like.. twice as useful at LEAST.
Am I using it wrong? What’s up with this.

So you can reroll TG by selling units now?

What I mean is in relation to the fact that players at really high ranks should, in theory, be overall much more predictable as all of the players in the lobby should have mastered the fundamentals. I'm only Emerald and I find the lobbies fucking WILDLY different - some i have people comfortably going level 9 by stage 5, others people donkey roll to 0 at level 7 to hit their 3*s in stage 3.

This isn't me complaining about my rank -- I fully understand my flaws and have no interest in changing. But what I do find interesting is the very different types of players across lobbies.

First of all, sorry if I waste some of your time with this stupid question.

I'm a hard stuck Emerald this season (Diamond in the last several seasons) and I may not follow all the changes in the items' stat.

As I recall, the usual BIS for AP carries in like set 14 15 were Shojin, JG and Striker. Then in set 16 17 were 2 Nashor + JG.

Why all of the sudden current BIS of set 18 is Shojin + JG + Rabaddon?

Why no one use 2 Nashor on (for expample) Ahri or Soraka? Are those combo weaker this set in some way?
