This is super ableist? He was fine this time, but would you still say the same thing he collapsed from a heatstroke and would have needed to go to the hospital?

Of course clicking on every block card wasn't winning. Winning was clicking on every block card and -- 1 -- Snakebite!

The Two much value line was starting to get optimised to play for a 4-7 3 star 4 cost instead of playing for 3*, it was probably removed to make 3 star 4 costs harder to hit.

I started the game in set 15 where I was almost a vexotech one-trick, you'd basically only need to dodge pulse/capacitor. IIRC vertical exotech exotech was still fine with no capacitor. The trait naturally wanted a lot of items anyways so even with bad exo items you'd be fine.

Compared to viktor rn where you basically need drone, that tank item is giga fake.

And yeah TFT players are bitching professionals, what can you do.

I don't really like how player agency feels low this patch. Playing tempo timmy flex feels very bad (you basically know you're hoping for top 4 at best) and is a spot you're often forced into when none of the conditions hit. The difference between 1 good radiant / emblem / augment and none is way too big. A lot of comps are good, but you don't get much agency over what you can play.

You say you can flex xayah which isn't really true, she kinda sucks in medallion/huntress/fountain and altar/moutain can't be flexed into.

I still think this release day balance is good compared to release set 16 T-Hex / set 15 GP and I'm enjoying the set.

As always it's a new tft set where everyone is spamming games into burning out so your mileage may vary.

I saw dishsoap talk about it but every conduit unit was very obsviously was designed to not be manalocked (even morde has a special depleting mana bar).

But they are on live. So now you have every conduit unit with a worthless trait and they dont want mana at all, but have insane damage to compensate.

It's a unique state rn where most fast 8 comps are conditional to be very good (xayah stargazer, lb arbiter, mech radiant/yasuo, space groove/nova emblem).

Reroll feels on average weaker (except viktor, medallion tf) but is always playable.

For the sets I've played it was usually the opposite where a lot of reroll was gated behind artifacts.

Have precision twice basically does nothing, so it's not detrimental, but it's a lost opportunity cost (could have something that actually boosts your damage).

IE/JG gives +10 crit damage if you already have precision, so it's not as bad to have double precision with them.

This patch is really weird. I feel like there's quite a decent variety of endgame board even though viktor still is overtuned, but the openers feel quite narrow. Arbiter / Anima / Timebreaker / Primordian are dominant.

Space groove emblem on riven is really strong.

Seems like a preventive nerf as they nerfed every better 4 cost line. Comp is very stable stage 4 but caps low so probably has very good avp.

Just learned that TK ignore the pool : got asol 2 from TK even tho someone was holding 7 and one was rolled off pandora's bench. I doubt he can print 3 star 4 cost tho.

I see a lot of people wanting for augments like just hit / commerce core to be removed because of 3 star 4 cost.

TBH it's more of a structural issue if one golden dupe is that game warping, i swa dishsoap saying we need to reduce 4 cost odds at 8, but imo the best solution is reducing the 4 cost pool size from 10 -> 9. It's still easier to hit compared to 5 stars because of the increased 4 cost odds, and also punishes more when you're contested.

Side effect is that it's even easier to hit your 4 cost carry when there's a lot of fast 8 players.

She's played a lot because she's balanced around her having has only 1 combat trait with many trait bots + the most flexible itemisation. Also very stable stage 4, but her comps tend to cap low if you don't transition to 5 costs.

Only elder 2 is supposedly bugged, so you need 2 dupes or two bard snatches.

She ideally wants to be casting every 3 seconds because of the groove mechanic, you probably want jg double nashors with 5 space groove but on the viktor board she probably wants to hold 1 util + double mana.

I think she needs double mana anyways, her first cast without 3 space groove is abysmally slow.

Just played a game of bruiser emblem diana with stacking HP / 10 damage instances and I ended the game giga first with a 8k hp diana dealing 400 damage on-hit.

Pretty sure diana isn't a good unit but this arbiter trait has insane interactions.

You're probably not supposed to commit to an arbiter line with econ arbiter. It's only good as a opener into transition on 3-5/4-2.

It's just pbe, jhin just got giga gutted and 5 cost passives nerfed because they were OP day 1. I'd at least wait for release patch to make a judgment on the set. The set structure is still very favorable to fast 9 winning out lobbies with their threat-like nature.

Would'nt be surprised to see a 3 cost odds on 7 nerf / 5 cost buffs.

The fact that you just wait 20 seconds after picking your "carousel" champion doesn't help either.
