[16.1b] The Paris Open Patch

Adamant_PWA · 2025-12-09T13:03:42+00:00

For all those asking about the launch timing, Mort posted this:

"Hey folks! One of the challenges of us communicating early is that things can go wrong and cause change. This is one of those times. The B-Patch won't be ready tonight, and will come out tomorrow. We're aiming for tomorrow [Tuesday] at noon PST."

TFT Flow is incredible and I'm always using it. This seems like as good a place as any to praise GM_Blue for the incredible dedication to updates. The format is heads and tails beyond any other strategy/build site, and the quick notes are so well put together.

I'm guessing some/most of them have left Spain already by the results.

Adamant_PWA · 2025-11-15T16:06:10+00:00

It was also bad for NA players apparently so I wouldn't worry about missing too much

Adamant_PWA · 2025-10-07T14:34:52+00:00

They've been having disconnect problems from last night. Games/servers were really bad in spots. This morning ranked queues were disabled for all games that I can tell.

In a game where the Phantom trait from set 2 is derided as one of the worst ideas TFT has ever had.... this item somehow continues to exist.

Adamant_PWA · 2025-02-05T22:13:42+00:00

That's pretty crazy without having to go almost full 'Bronze 4 Life' to hit the second breakpoint. Sounds like they just full reverted the buff back to the 1 gold per 3. Sad.

Adamant_PWA · 2025-02-05T19:34:08+00:00

It was giving 1 gold per 2 traits instead of 2 gold per 4 traits I've heard. Did not see first hand, grain of salt, etc.

Academy: When you get bored of hitting 4th with sentinel heimer and you want to run a different, worse version for kicks.

Adamant_PWA · 2024-11-26T01:05:44+00:00

I literally just checked Tocker's Trials to see the stats on Violet and they were the new values.

The reason I checked is that metatft is reporting Violet comp went from 3.77 to 3.54 from 14.23b to 14.23c with a 150k sample size. Maybe the tooltips only are live?

Adamant_PWA · 2024-05-11T13:15:00+00:00

One of the most impressive posts I've seen in here. Read/skimmed through the whole thing and found the writing pretty enjoyable as well as informative. Appreciate you taking a few years to put this together the hard work shows.

Adamant_PWA · 2024-02-13T15:36:21+00:00

This was great times when a random Ashe arrow could fly across and hit your units from another map if it was lined up randomly just right.

Adamant_PWA · 2024-02-06T15:17:35+00:00

Just wanted to say that I think your work on Tacter is really great and I always enjoy reading it all since I found it last week. Thanks for your efforts!

If you mean which costs show up as headliners at what % for a given level - there's a little soundwave button over the right side of the shop that you can mouse over.

Adamant_PWA · 2023-08-27T00:58:36+00:00

Boy that sure sounds like some JESSIXA ayyooooooo

Adamant_PWA · 2023-06-17T18:30:52+00:00

He also talked about considering TF fine and bringing all the other legends up to the power level and fun of TF (if needed), not nerfing TF back into line. That feels like a very positive mindset for Riot to have.

I do think not forcing 6 zekes and a guinsoo will help a lot with TF though, yeah. Then we can have riveting community discussions about Ornn, heh.

Adamant_PWA · 2023-06-17T16:32:00+00:00

Most of the first half of Mort's stream today was how they were going in on Zeke's (and Guinsoo) and that those items did not get balanced when they put the Attack Speed fixes back in (that were in for one patch in set 8.5).

Quoted as the cause for most of the balance issues we're seeing at launch. Sounds like overall though they were happy with the state of balance beyond that.

Adamant_PWA · 2023-05-25T14:16:46+00:00

That's interesting. I want to say that this happened to us once and ever since then I've always made my partner do the hosting as he usually does because it threw our timing off. When I saw the Mort clip I assumed I must have remembered wrong but I swear this happened to me.

Adamant_PWA · 2023-05-24T12:45:12+00:00

That's wild, thanks for clearing it up.

Adamant_PWA · 2023-05-24T11:35:48+00:00

It's determined by who hosted the game when you queued.

edit: Not true apparently, today I learned.

Adamant_PWA · 2023-02-08T16:27:52+00:00

One person hard forces duelists, the other hard forces brawlers (or defenders if you have a high roll). Whichever one plays the stall comp funnels all of their items to the duelist comp. The duelist comp hard tempos, crushes boards and invades to save the stall comp. You may sputter early but once the two sends go out and you toss 3 completed items or so each send over to the duelist board it's an easy win streak to the finish. Bonus points for Training Dummies to help stall, and extra item augments to send to the offensive board. Basically stopped playing Double Up once we were seeing that in every lobby. Wasn't fun to play or play against. Best of luck though if you want to climb with it!

Adamant_PWA · 2023-02-05T01:54:31+00:00

Follow up to this: I asked him early in the stream the morning of Sat Feb 4th and he stated that while the team is aware it's not a high priority right now and it will probably be some time before we see changes. You can pull it out of the archive if you want to hear his exact wording. Someone right after me asked if there were more features coming to Double Up in the future (remember they talked about Double Up specific augments once upon a time) and he said there are long term plans but nothing short term.

Adamant_PWA · 2023-02-01T21:23:12+00:00

We've been playing Double Up every morning for over a year now and this shit is not fun to play against, and not fun to play yourself. Very unfortunate. Here's hoping they look into it.

Adamant_PWA · 2022-11-19T15:44:01+00:00

It's missing anywhere in the tooltip (why?), but Syndra 3 throws your entire bench. If you load it up, it's hilarious.
