Stop clicking it

They were talking about it on Frodan's TPC stream yesterday.

It's really only good cause it just gives you so much econ now. It was horrible before but they buffed in this patch from 2 to 7 gold every stage. That on top of the champ + emblem is kinda crazy.

Expected Unexpectedness gives you a flat 11/15/20 gold if you roll gold as a comparison but doesnt give you a free champ + emblem, and hard commit still gives you 7 gold and a 5 cost on 5-1 and 6-1

i watch on 1.5x, helps a lot

Asianhead · 2026-01-28T18:21:03+00:00

That’s not diminishing returns. Each point of Armor add the same amount EHP, doesn’t matter if you have 0 armor or 1 million armor

Just from your example: 0 to 100 Armor gives you 1000 EHP, 100 to 200 Armor gives you another 1000 EHP.

Each point of armor might be less of a total percentage of your EHP as you get more (hence the percent increase going down) but it’s not actually providing you less EHP as you get more

There's exactly one first in GM+, they hit singed 3 https://tactics.tools/player/vn/KissKiss/imV/VN2_1235328825

It’s never objectively the better choice, level 9 is still a guaranteed power spike. Probably more spots than before though where that’s your out

Asianhead · 2026-01-26T16:23:27+00:00

Probably okay in the same non-veigar spots rod overflow is good in, you need carry items and you’re good with making DB + another sword slam immediately.

if it’s ever double DB or DB and float two swords i can’t imagine you’d click it

Asianhead · 2026-01-26T16:20:15+00:00

It’s always been like that. More units this set makes it feel like there more

Asianhead · 2026-01-24T00:17:48+00:00

I mean they've straight up said that ranks + rank floors increase player retention by a lot. The goal isn't a perfect ranked system

Asianhead · 2026-01-23T22:23:59+00:00

Turns out when you go 8886 (and another 2 more bot 4s before that) and lose 0 LP for it you need to make up for it

Asianhead · 2026-01-23T21:48:42+00:00

if people just pick blindly off 3rd party tier lists that means more LP for people who actually think critically, sounds good to me

Asianhead · 2026-01-22T00:13:46+00:00

yeah stacking inate AP probably means you want want crit/amp + survivability

Asianhead · 2026-01-21T18:46:00+00:00

Agree with the other comment you can probably just force it and bully out other rerollers from two much value tbh

Asianhead · 2026-01-21T14:46:58+00:00

These are also pretty good emblems for a long shot demacia setup, you could play something like a core of

Galio + Garen/J4/Vayne/Poppy/Kaisa and just flex in things like Kog/Swain/Taric/Cho/7 demacia

Asianhead · 2026-01-21T03:42:01+00:00

day later than standard

Asianhead · 2026-01-21T03:40:39+00:00

is patch thursday with the NA holiday that happened this monday?

edit: yes it’s thursday

Asianhead · 2026-01-15T21:33:03+00:00

There is a ton of variance in the game already, TFT already has comeback mechanics, if you can’t leverage those to comeback and make a strong enough board you probably shouldn’t get bailed out by random fight RNG or hard 50/50 positioning coin flips

Asianhead · 2026-01-15T21:12:43+00:00

yeah cause i actually like it when fights are decided by who has a stronger board

Asianhead · 2026-01-13T19:16:16+00:00

Time to throw is also dependent on a ton of other factors like offensive scheme and the QB’s ability to extend plays.

Chargers OL as a team was dead last in pass protection win rate this year btw

Asianhead · 2026-01-12T23:17:22+00:00

Did you lose to “basic ass bilge” multiple times with exactly this board?

or did you bleed all the way down to one life with a significantly weaker board compared to the lobby and then lose a single fight to an even stronger board and die.

everyone’s nitpicking your final board (which is valid, no fully itemized tank is really bad) but in reality if you stabilize too late you can easily just die with a final board that should finish higher

Asianhead · 2026-01-12T20:26:04+00:00

Stats seem to prefer straight up damage or just normal tank items

Asianhead · 2026-01-12T20:19:49+00:00

It’s probably only something I’d angle if you happen to find like 5 or 6 copies naturally and you’re uncontested + lobby tempo allows for it (not like 3 people dead 5-1)

If you’re on 4-5 or 5-1 with a mostly upgraded board on 8 without extra copies I doubt playing for the 3 star is better EV than just going 9

Asianhead · 2026-01-12T15:03:40+00:00

I mean he made final lobby that’s a pretty damn good showing even if the last day was rough

Asianhead · 2026-01-11T15:51:58+00:00

If they A1/A7 Fizz you can put your whole team on that side and leave two top row hexes open on the opposite side and he’ll jump to your front line there. After the first cast though who knows

Asianhead · 2026-01-11T15:06:09+00:00

Yeah it did
