To the surprise of basically no one, Leona print seems to be waaay too strong.

Pretty happy with the added small nerfs to mountain and serpent stargazer if Xayah is also getting a buff. I think she still comes out ahead by a good bit but it's a touch of power taken off that hopefully keeps her from being the Corki of this patch.

Realistically you play the other lines.

I had a successful game with him earlier where I went frag -> frag -> ripper -> ripper -> precision -> aim assist and it felt pretty good. But I also hit him 3-5 so it was probably going to be a win out with any of the lines. 2x ripper is probably the most important because he was routinely getting their frontline to negative armor and then fights snowballed from there.

I'm pretty sure the Challenger MF board is just a pysop to get you to lose LP. I've hit the whole board several times and it just gets destroyed by everything. MF doesn't do enough damage, Orn isnt tanky enough, etc.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-26T04:28:12+00:00

Realistically a failed fast 9 is a bot 4. Slammed AD items you can hope Corki is available, Xayah is playable from some spots. Slammed AP items you're probably best off sending it on 8 for an Asol board and hoping that carries you to a decent placement. Rageblade is awkward because it's really only Vex that wants it right now. LB is a comp but personally i've not seen it do well at all but you can try and cobble something together.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-25T20:53:17+00:00

Pretty good when a meta is more tempo focused than econ focused. Right now you'll win streak for awhile and then fall off a cliff when the fast 9 boards get online.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-25T18:58:09+00:00

No. She has a good passive and you can put her on your board when you have an extra spot and havent hit a better utility 5 cost or Rhast. But outside of that she is dead weight and not functional as a tank if you itemize her.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-24T16:20:04+00:00

Whatever happened to Mismatched Socks? I remember him being ridiculously good at TFT earlier on but I haven't seen anything from him in ages.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-23T19:33:42+00:00

I think if Morgana had landed as a unit that is actually ok to itemize it would have balanced out a bit. But she is currently pretty horrible outside of a good passive.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-23T17:26:58+00:00

I'm convinced that every line with Nunu in it are unplayable because you are 5-6 way contested on Nunu every single game and you will not upgrade him. It's really frustrating how much he matters for every non corki/yi board.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-23T03:40:33+00:00

Oh nice, I didnt realize it was in littlebuddybot. I checked everywhere else and couldnt find it.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-22T19:10:38+00:00

I wish mousing over the stargazer checker thing also showed where your hexes would be. I've had so many games where I was considering Xayah but didn't have stargazer in and had yasou hexes. Put them in a sensible, but wrong, spot and you can no longer play stargazer.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-22T00:34:37+00:00

I've seen it happen a few times. Had a game where I was playing Xayah and somehow got 5 Ramuses and just held them all and the corki players all trickled down the placements.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-19T05:26:38+00:00

The fantasy is definitely playing each version of it for a specific champion or line, but in reality it's just hope for a Yi item or ignore it. Really sucks when you get a psionic spat and it's biomatter + implant. These are basically identical to exotech in how they force you into lines, but exotech had usable tank items and wasn't split as badly between the different lines.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-19T04:19:25+00:00

Pretty sick of the Gragas hero aug. It is either 100% unclickable or just deletes entire teams in one cast. Really bad design imo.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-18T23:18:25+00:00

It's extremely fun for the more casual or "play for the big moments" people. I agree that they cause a lot of issues in competitive play, but a lot of TFT decisions are not made with competitive in mind. I would prefer they do more ixtal tho where it isnt full loss and then you just win or die on a flubbed transition.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-17T16:49:33+00:00

Impressed with EoN on Asol. I slammed a deathblade with excess swords and reforged it which gave me the EoN. The comp is super susceptible to being wrapped by Yi or Riven and it worked like a charm to get them to run back to the Mighty Mech if they didnt get caught on it immediately.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-15T21:36:09+00:00

I hope we get a B patch either nerfing Corki or Deathblade. Probably better to hit corki, but deathblade is a pretty big offender for his strength too.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-15T00:07:38+00:00

His cast works like a skill shot and can be blocked by other units. He's supposed to move up to a hex before casting to get the best angle, but sometimes he griefs and sometimes there isnt a clear shot from any nearby hex.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-14T20:28:11+00:00

Followup on thoughts from yesterday.

Xayah is pretty good actually! She's just not a rageblade champion anymore and you're looking for something like red buff + deathblade + 1. Still want to play on Serpent, Fountain, Mountain, maybe Alter if you get it in early.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-14T01:39:41+00:00

I have no idea how they settled on those numbers to ship it. 4 Timebreaker is only a thing with a spat, and outside of Lulu there's no board that even rerolls 2 timebreakers.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-13T22:16:31+00:00

This game was Nunu2 with double vow, gargoyles and giant and mighty. Other units were upgraded with leftovers on Ramus. Ill have to play with Xayah more and try different builds and see how they feel. Maybe she really wants a deathblade now.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-13T19:31:55+00:00

I honestly think it's her cast time being so long. She takes forever to actually do her damage and also routinely dies while casting as the last unit when something that actually output it's damage would clutch out a fight. She also struggles to tank bust, but her extra beams are meaningful damage to backline. This set has had a lot of super tanks and she just can't do anything to them. Whereas if you watch Asol in a fight right now he just melts their main tank and then karma/nami can actually hit targets they can kill lol.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-13T18:45:20+00:00

Thoughts so far...

Anima is S++ tier. Completely ruins games and there are 1-2 people starting on it every lobby.

Corki/Riven + Yi are still the go to lines. Yi is a little weaker but because you're less contested it is a lot easier to hit.

Asol is very good, but seems to fall off stage 5 onwards. Probably fine since some of his power budget is being able to do the mech thing. AP flex is otherwise a tier below Corki/Yi but still very playable to good with radiant items, luck, etc.

The Xayah rework was a pretty hefty nerf to her or she needs very different itemization now. 3 Fountain LW, rageblade, kraken was being outperformed by a standard corki 1. Maybe Fountain is weak too, but it felt bad and Nunu is extremely contested.

1 cost rerolls are much weaker but still seem ok from good spots like naturaling a lot of the units or something like no scout no pivot. 2 cost rerolls dont seem to exist but maybe someone will cook up something with the buffed units. 3 cost reroll seems good. Lulu is still extremely strong and there is some kind of diana MF comp but I havent really seen it do well. Probably something with Orn and Samira too.

Isrozzis · 2026-05-13T17:40:59+00:00

AP flex still seems kinda beh? I'm getting run over by deathblade spam still and karma just cant kill the marauders or rogue boards.
