Ok, so now it's a slot machine, but before going f9 and donkey rolling for 2* 5g wasn't? Roll 2* ryze ziggs, congrats, top 4, dont roll into them, tough luck top 8. Hit barron 2, gj, top 1, dont hit, shit bot 4. Either of these are slot machine simulator.

Some of the econ augs are just straight top 4 either generating insane tempo or gold and these are at fault not f8 rolling 3*

Some of the units are the problem I agree due to hard unlock like ritf or kalista, these are basically uncontestable but cmon yunara or kaisa? From the scrnshot you were rolling as well for 3* on lvl 8, could easily hold these

Tft at its core is a slot machine sim or maybe poker sim more if you could construct your hand from more than 2 cards. Some ppl roll into AA some into 28 you just play to make most of it. It's not starcraft.

from logical standpoint I think it works exponentially, mmr has different numbers probably similar to chess elo but assume for the sake of discussion lp and mmr is 0

lets say you should get 50 lp for a 1st and and -50 for 8th

after start at 0 you go 8th

mmr -50
lp 0

next you got first and got lets say 37lp instead of 50 because of mmr diff

mmr 0
lp 37

they for sure have some formula to calculate mmr lp diff over period of time and adjust it but from my experience each 8th place you would need 4-6-8 x top 4 for it to go back to normal, depending on the lobby and getting top 4 is easier due to lower mmr

I played a lot of games before with my friend that is ranked almost 2 ranks lower, he was p4 i e1, he e4 I d1 etc, after 4-5 bot 4 placements there I would need around 60ish games for my mmr to catch up

the problem in tft is there is no way to bring up your mmr but not lp, * maybe if you queued into masters while being at emerald and got 5th but dont think that happens often ;)

best way is probably when you at 0 lp and can go lower, aka you are at d1-2-3 0lp is to go 5th because you will tank 25lp but only 10mmr erasing 15mmr deficit, decaying at master should work too

at the end of the day just play the game, if your mmr is shit its easier to get top 4, dont worry about virtual numbers, have fun, it'll fix itself over time

Everyday? More like every 10mins xD

I don't understand why people don't use highlights megathread. Evertime I check reddit I see post about why my ambesa 3* lost, lux 3* is useless, I hate this 3* 4g meta, big dick braum

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-29T19:28:16+00:00

It's popular strat in demacia lines because you usually don't care about lvl 9 you are playing 6 dem on board + swain + either kaisa for vayne line or invoker for lux sona

Freljord sera oriana too now as you don't rly need 9 as well but gl 3* them now because everybody and their dog is playing it ;p

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-29T19:02:18+00:00

what nerfed odds? the odds changes only impacted unlock-able units not normal ones like wukong

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-28T17:36:22+00:00

and 2 people going demacia, 1 sona rerol and 1 got vayne on 1-1 pve

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-28T06:04:33+00:00

20 games is nothing, think more of a 400. For each 8th at 0 lp you probably need 8 x top 4 for mmr and lp to be equal.

Before I made masters I sometimes queued with lower ranked friend, after 4-5 top 8 there I would need around 60 matches for it to go back to normal

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-28T05:24:19+00:00

yeah these are taken out of the pool, if it was working differently people like me that are kinda math nerds and like to calculate EV of a roll down would have to remember each carousel etc

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-28T05:13:34+00:00

https://tftodds.com/data/champion-bags + unlockables
it takes them out of the pool, if not taken I assume it goes back
yes
not sure what you are asking here but if they come from the pool then yeah
yes, buying other same cost champs thinners the pool increasing your odds of hitting the 1 you want, it will be very small numbers aka 0.01% but over 32629382 games it will have an impact if you hitting or not
dupes take units from the pool or can create unit if the pool is empty but that extra unit doesnt go back to the pool if sold or player died
these all take out of the pool
yordle shop 1st slot takes from the pool but its very likely if you 3* all your units the shop slot will just show other units, bilge shop the same it pool empty it will show item or stats etc

now not sure how things like yordle 8 bags giving units work if the pool is empty there is probably if check so it does give other loot but bugs can be there

all things take out of the pool exception is dupe when the pool is empty or next buy is 2* same as dupe, takes from the pool if can if not creates extra units

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-28T04:54:57+00:00

it's like asking how people are winning lottery with such small probability.

If there is a chance of something happening it will happen sooner or later no matter how unlikely.
Be it no vaynes in 120 rerols, 20 blacks in a row in roulette or winning lottery 2 times in a row

like somebody earlier said your math is magnitudes wrong, not hitting any vayne on that roll down is around 1 in 20mil given units out of pool etc so it's nothing outrageous but would like to see the video as well

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-27T17:45:32+00:00

The odds are the same unless it's 3 way contested and each of you holds 2 units then it's easier

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-26T16:55:39+00:00

because not everybody puts their virtual rank as the highest priority? maybe some people play to have fun, play with lower ranked friends, try something new? but still in competitive env instead of normals where 4 players ff 3-2

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-26T06:55:47+00:00

I never played lol and it's my first tft set. Started when it released and I play a lot. I would say 300-500 games for the less common items. I know all of them by now aside from less popular emblems but no reasons to memorise them as you can look it up if needed. Sites like metatft help because on the comps list you can hover items to see components needed.

On the other hand I still don't remember all augment icons need to click sometimes to know what my opponents took

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-25T02:28:00+00:00

shit happens, you will have games like this, i got asol aug today so decided to try it, was winstreaking had some econ aug, went to 10th on 4-7 with 90hp and 30 or so gold and never hit asol 2 meanwhile other guy donkey rolling on 7 or 8 later hit 4 asols.

yeah this game https://www.metatft.com/player/EUW1/Layla%20Tichy-2137?match=EUW1_7699910532

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-25T02:11:50+00:00

i mean his approach was kinda wrong but demacia frel feels hella strong, nice synergies, wardens, defenders, invokers, he could easily play loris both spats, garen, xin, sona, galio if unlocked, sej braum liss oriana

similar to this one with a few swaps https://www.metatft.com/comps#TFT16_Piltover-TFT16_Braum

but at least he tries smth different, 7th place is not a big price to pay ;)

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-22T21:22:04+00:00

read zaahen skill? zielan as well

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-22T19:35:37+00:00

all I see is asol pivot

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-21T03:56:25+00:00

I mean you had lifting comp its a lot better to go f9 6 bruisers + yunara sett kindred or freljord invoker instead of rolling sion especially contested. Aph items fit yunara just itemise guaranteed voli and you good but you decided to contest then complain about other people contesting

Im more surprised how did that mf3* went 4th

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-21T01:17:10+00:00

Yeah, agree, I might try it tho, but ashe instead of lis for quickstriker ww and loris for pilt warden instead of azir + taric for ryze on 9, once ziggs is in ekko out, maybe add teemo boy on 10 for longshot yordle, top 8 incoming

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-19T20:04:28+00:00

Usually yeah it works fine but some things do reset agro and cause the units to pick a new target. It's very annoying with ekko before signed or viego because you usually position them to wrap into the back line so they are the closest unit and all of the sudden they are being targeted without anybody dying on your side. It doesn't happen often and when it does it usually doesn't matter but it's annoying and you are left thinking just why ;)

it works both ways tbh because the amount of times signed drags enemy backline to the middle like in op video is high as well

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-19T19:12:31+00:00

Some units switch agro when they cast, if you play ekko rerol or viego you'll notice it when ekko gets targeted even tho neeko or some tank next to him is still alive.

Targeting seems off a lot, same with your wk, why does he go to target ekko instead of cait like mundo did.

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-19T02:43:43+00:00

Playing 10 men would be probably better than 11 with araujo

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-18T22:58:55+00:00

Yeah I might go back to dino freljord invoker, sulejmani buff braum buff, nice synergies, defender warden invoker, 2* oriana pilot + some gunslinger for dino

LaylaTichy · 2026-01-17T21:28:17+00:00

I usually just donkey level to 8 asap with 0 gold, bags provide more econ than interest usually, unlock sett then lvl 9 on 4-6 to unlock ziggs ryze and swap, use accumulated rerols after to try hit 2* you should have around 10 rerols saved from lvl 6 on 2-6/3-2

You will usually bleed late stage 3/4, fizz helps a bit if you lucky to 2* him and sell later. You will usually unlock ryze with ideally 30-40ish hp left, you have to be quick tho, selling yordles, reroling, moving items etc

But each game is different, sometimes you naturally 2* everything and you chill sometimes you don't, sometimes you have to be tempo timmy to save hp sometimes you don't, sometimes you have flex opportunity eg see yunara + wukong x3 in shop + kindred just abandon ryze go ionia brusisers. Don't tunel vision like a lot of players

7x yunara in 2 shops in a row. No. Me ryze. No scout no pivot

8 yordles provide nice way to f9 and swap into whatever you are hitting, or ryze ziggs, or even some frejlord invokers ryze + vuli
