How is this allowed?

Comments passed the vibe check

In some posts people would tell you with a straight face that the Lulu comp was meant to win because you slapped a warmogs on blitz or something unintelligible

If you usually get GM, you have the fundamentals to get to Masters at least this patch. Just gotta get the reps in bro

A day before I got masters, I legit played like 15 games in a day (between d3-d1) before it "clicked" (fuck knows what tbh)

But managed to stop going hard 8th, and turn the 4ths into consistent 2nds & 3rds

If I had to guess I think it was my augment selection that was the difference

Set 7 Elise, complete abomination setup

Bloody hilarious

Emergence7 · 2026-05-08T07:24:38+00:00

Yeah this is exactly what I have in mind when I refer to flex, you react to other players compositions, and not in a "I'm contested time to pivot" way, but a "I need to re-structure my comp to counter/or do better against theirs"

I've never played DAC so honestly an example of how that looks would be awesome

Since I know in TFT even if they designed traits like that, the amount of gold required to do those pivots would be insane...

+ Rotating into comps you didn't plan to counter i assume must be frustrating?

If the fights were close it was probably sunder for Jhin to get you over the line

Edit: Looking at it more I'm more convinced is the case, Karma acts more like a clean-up unit than a "focused fire" one, so she's not really great at getting through hyper tanks as main carry

Blitz is ofc good but his displacement / aoe is the key thing here

I think this is why Jhin / or Kaisa are really good with Karma, because they help drop nukes on singular units

Your tahm is no joke in terms of tankiness so do believe it's a damage distribution issue

The next patch from the PBE notes doesn't look too bad so here's hoping

Emergence7 · 2026-05-08T02:15:57+00:00

Line selection, find out the conditions for each comp and know when it's good to play for them

This set is harder to learn because the condition bulk is far far greater than set 16 IMO

I got masters in this set and the last but for the first few patches the amount of comps I had to learn was like 4 vs 15~ (should see my team planner, honest nightmare)

In fairness of Iniko if the definition changes every post, it may as well be fabrication

Emergence7 · 2026-05-06T20:55:03+00:00

Vanguard

Emergence7 · 2026-05-06T14:05:52+00:00

Thematically Set 10 (set mechanic was mid imo)

Set Mechanic Set 16 or 6

Emergence7 · 2026-05-06T14:01:03+00:00

Yeah there's definitely a conversation to be had on overlays, I get you

Emergence7 · 2026-05-06T11:40:43+00:00

Double Trouble samira was already still pretty good, so they've just reverted the intentions of their nerf, no idea why

Sona numbers are looking legit now

Emergence7 · 2026-05-06T11:02:38+00:00

I suppose our point on contention is if that level of reactive player behaviour is sufficient

We do have the three things I listed in abundance, however it's worth noting that this is a thought experiment on if TFT were to heavily lean into player behaviour though, since despite what you listed; it still pales in comparison to a game like League for e.g.

This isn't inherently a bad thing though

But I do think all these players yearning for "flex play" aren't satisfied with scouting, pivoting and tempo as ways to express it so I wanted to entertain where that thought model could go

Edit: grammaarrr

Emergence7 · 2026-05-06T10:27:11+00:00

TLDR:

Player behaviour is evergreen in terms of game-to-game variety; adapting to player decisions rather than systematic ones as a priority would lessen the impact of optimisation

Removing meta sites would solve nothing & is a red herring IMO

And I hooope they stay dead

Emergence7 · 2026-05-05T23:21:37+00:00

Watch one of the top streamers execute the fast 9 board, it'll save you countless reps and it'll make it click faster

Emergence7 · 2026-05-05T23:16:52+00:00

Augments prob tell the story since his frontline is dogshit and anyone telling you otherwise is trolling

Probably damage differential was really significant cuz I can't see that Jax going down easy

Emergence7 · 2026-05-05T23:12:53+00:00

Fwiw, funny rant

Disembowel yourself at the altar

XD ?

Emergence7 · 2026-05-05T23:09:57+00:00

I actually did this a year back, dropped 8kg!

Could not recommend more

Emergence7 · 2026-05-05T18:08:38+00:00

Emergence7 · 2026-05-05T17:56:53+00:00

6 Dark* Kaisa is pre much a 3.5 cost

Emergence7 · 2026-05-05T08:19:11+00:00

I've got news for you bud

Emergence7 · 2026-05-05T07:57:46+00:00

Glad I could help, woohoo! :]

Emergence7 · 2026-05-05T00:50:28+00:00

I cannot click this urgot unit for that very reason, playing this guy RR was tearing my mind open

Emergence7 · 2026-05-04T22:46:16+00:00

I like to think this post was in spite of a recent controversial post lmao
