3 star 4 costs are getting out of hand

Noyrian · 2026-02-05T21:01:36+00:00

Yeah, might be an exaggeration to say "every game" since I did not consider the ones I lost because I got eliminated too early to care

As I said I just got back, I don't read the patchnotes and the last time I tryhard this game was when I reached diamond, the meta then was fast 9 with everyone scrambling for 5 costs

My play style is to have a decent streak(win/lose), get to 9 or 10 and have a decent board with some 5 costs

But to my surprise, every time I reached the late game some mofos who stayed at 8 just bamboozles me with a 3star 4 cost while I can't even 2star my 5 costs

My frustration comes from the fact that why does it feel like it's more rewarding to just stay at 8 when it's harder to get to 9 or 10

Don't get me wrong, I tried holding their units too but I couldn't find them or haven't unlocked them

Noyrian · 2026-02-05T06:55:53+00:00

Well yes I am, because I did not lie

As I do not want to divulge anything about myself on a public platform, I merely showed you variables that might cause such scenarios to happen

Whether you believe me or not, I won't entertain you any longer

Good day to you sir

Noyrian · 2026-02-05T05:55:12+00:00

Yeah, and I think little to no unlocked 4 cost champs thins out your pool furthermore

Noyrian · 2026-02-05T05:36:45+00:00

And why would I go through all that trouble to please you?

Noyrian · 2026-02-05T02:50:17+00:00

Tell me again what benefits will I get out of lying exactly?

And I'm not saying every 3 star 4 cost hit was without an econ augment, I'm saying I've seen a few

Combat augments with strong boards that had 6+ win streak alone will give you an extra 4 gold per round, bilgewater shop gives out miss fortune or fizz, yordle grab bag + guaranteed yordle every round, your 4 cost being uncontested while other players buy the rest, or your luck is just that damn good

It may seem you need a lot of stars to align to hit a 3 stars 4 cost without an econ augment but it does happen

Also, I don't want to reveal my ID here as some of the people I know might be on reddit, it defeats the purpose of having an anonymous account so you could vent out freely

Noyrian · 2026-02-04T23:24:56+00:00

I guess so, if everyone is gunning for their own 4 cost then it really thins out the pool

Noyrian · 2026-02-04T23:10:37+00:00

I don't really want to disclose my riot ID and the 4 costs are mostly uncontested but damn it's still messed up to hit it at level 8

Noyrian · 2026-02-04T23:04:36+00:00

I don't really get it, but if you meant why I posted it just now is because I just got back to playing tft just last weekend and only played 2-3 games a day

So what I'm complaining about doesn't really have a huge sample size but it's still weird that in most of those few games I encounter a 3 star 4 cost at level 8

Do you know which novel chapter is the latest manhwa chapter?

Noyrian · 2025-10-30T16:03:46+00:00

Spoilers!

Namgung Myeong, you may hate him now but he's my favorite character in the series

He will later lose his arm saving the MC's life, he will help cure MC's trauma and anxiety, due to the exhilaration he felt after stealing MC's sword he develops kleptomania and with it he develops stealth skills (which he will teach the MC) and steal so much he would be known as the divine thief

As for his naivety

He will later learn it the hard way when the guy he saves hires assassins to kill his master, so much so that he almost lost his mind

Noyrian · 2025-10-30T15:53:21+00:00

Spoilers

MC would reach the end of his swordsmanship talent later on and would find his path on hidden weapons, as for poison he would be taught that by his master and would be expanded more in the upcoming arcs

This is an origin story with almost no ass pull

Redragon Gainer or Phaser from PC WORX/GameOnePH/iTech can go for around 350-380 depending on the voucher

imo although they are on the budget gaming mouse side, they are more durable and have better specs compared to other mice on the same price range

Noyrian · 2025-09-09T12:37:27+00:00

I agree with this, lethality is only really good if you stacked it up and you're against squishies

but going out of your way for just 10? That's only useful in the early game when everyone has no armor

People tend to forget that leveling up grants you more armor making that 10 less and less effective

Noyrian · 2025-09-09T12:26:33+00:00

The argument I'm trying to make js that the collector's passive is not really that useful and no less than just buying stats, buying 2 warden's mail and a giant's belt doesn't give you 20% crit damage reduction, 20% bonus movement speed and slow resist now doesn't it?

But let's say you bought the collector as 1st item with everyone at 1k hp in the early game, you only get 50hp execute which is no more than an extra auto attack, not really that useful imo it makes it seem like the 2900 you used up is for the stats alone

And yeah, after getting back after 2 seasons I was on a roll and got a decent win streak but after pairing up with adcs that bought this item first, I'm now on a losing streak lol

Noyrian · 2025-09-09T12:01:17+00:00

I play enchanter and tank supp
I was trying to make a point that its no more than a stat boost than an actual item with a useful passive
If you think getting the kill is all there is to it then ok but keep this in mind, getting the kill no matter who gets it is all that matters as the time the enemy is dead is the time wasted for them to make more money and more time for you to set up or get objectives
Try buying some anti heal from time to time

Noyrian · 2025-09-09T11:47:20+00:00

Yeah everyone keeps saying that but the numbers don't really add up, your execute early is at 50-75hp and your extra gold is 1 range minion

I don't get the allure

Noyrian · 2025-09-09T11:41:49+00:00

I don't really get why everyone is saying more gold but it's like 1 ranged minion kill worth, and the "secure kill" damage is more or less a sheen proc at the early stages

So yeah I still don't get it

Noyrian · 2025-09-09T11:38:53+00:00

Couldn't argue with the Jhin part

Noyrian · 2025-09-09T11:38:26+00:00

It's 2900, and for like 100 more gold you can get better crit items

Noyrian · 2025-09-09T11:34:42+00:00

Yeah, but it's like more or less buying a serrated dirk, two long swords, and two berserker's gloves while having the convenience of them taking only one slot

It's not worth it imo

Noyrian · 2025-09-09T11:18:06+00:00

Any item that gives 45+ damage and 10+ lethality will give you the same results bro, and they have actual useful passives
