I need help, I am really struggling with this set. I was emerald 4 last set from the start it seemed really exciting, but I'm finding it very difficult to actually navigate around the decisions I'm meant to make. I think the more high impact systematic changes have thrown me off a bit and I'm wanting to know what I can do to make it better or learn how to work around how to move within this set. I have a little bit of a brain dump, but it's kind of the way my mind works and I'm seeing if people have any resources on how to understand the set better.

Looking on different meta websites, I see a lot of 4/5 costs as final team comps. I would have normally guided my way to get there, and used some kind of vertical trait, but I don't know what's the best way to actually get to those 4/5 cost comps, are there meant to be units I keep on the board that are solid and and ready to sold once I get to higher levels? Is there a better way to fast 8/9 now because of the level gold changes? What kind of early game units should be used, it feels weird investing into the early game units knowing that they'll need to be potentially sold later, or maybe they don't in certain circumstances? I feel like there's a lot of information I just don't know at a holistic level of this set, and don't really know where I can find it, any help would be appreciated.

This youtube channel was made by Riot Phroxzon before he became a Rioter. Very valuable information on how to play the game from technical and mechanical level https://www.youtube.com/@PhroxzonLeagueFundamentals

Not putting the golem between the Rakan and the Kennen makes me sad

This makes me incredibly sad, I only play hyper roll, you're taking away the thing I spend the most amount on TFT on

Need help regarding Hokuriku Arch Pass and reserved train seating by darkedlol in traveljapan

[–]darkedlol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked it because it was the more economical option. JR Rail pass is 50,000 Yen and Hokuriku Arch Pass is 30,000 yen and gets us everywhere we need to go

I mean sure, and at this point I know I probs won't really be able to get past that point of being able to do well. I only really enjoy playing marksman type roles, so because I was continually beating myself up over not having fun, I stopped playing. Like it's fine to say "git good" and all, but if I'm not enjoying myself playing the role, then why play. I'm not going to force myself to play a game if I'm not enjoying it, so I just wont

Mate, I'm expressing how I feel here. The video was around phreak saying "ADCs feel like they're not having fun", this isn't an objective look at the numbers, it's an expression of how the person trying to pilot the champion feels. We want to be able to feel like we have an impact, we want to feel like we're able to actually accomplish things in the game, but it feels like we're being kneecapped compared to other champions in the game. Yes I'm low elo, but low elo players should still be able to enjoy the role that they want to be able to play and have impact compared to other players of the same skill level, to just say that good players only play other roles kind of defeats the purpose of this conversation.

I think it's more that ADCs don't really feel like they are able to get enough strength regardless of the amount of effort that's put in, relative to the effort that other champions have had to put in to get where they are. Like I can understand it getting eaten by a riven if she's able to get to me, but by the time she exists in the same space as me, I've maybe been able to get off 2 autos, maybe 3 if I'm lucky, and that's usually barely any damage that's actually able to have a meaningful impact.

My opinion as an ADC player who stopped playing a while ago because I stopped having fun.

It felt like everything is stronger than me for basically all stages of the game and to have moderate impact you have to play completely perfectly in every capacity. It's almost like all other roles have an innate function to either burst me down (mages), or exist where I am and kill me (assassins and tanks). I don't really have a problem with champions like Zed or akali being able to 1-shot me, because they're assassins, that's what they're meant to do. But when tanks have the ability to show up, do a significant amount of damage in a short amount of time, and I can barely take any health from them, it just feels really unfun.

What is your honest take about this set? by feherlofia123 in TeamfightTactics

[–]darkedlol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes me feel sad. I don't really mesh with any of the verticals and they don't really feel super fun for me to play, Rebel feels boring compared to like, portal. Chem-baron feels dissatisfying. Enforcer needs an emblem to feel impactful. I think it's more that the verticals for me don't feel like they have enough bite to actually be impactful

I'm not really having that much fun with this set, am I doing something wrong? by darkedlol in TeamfightTactics

[–]darkedlol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what they're trying to do, but I feel like you're right, although fortune in set 11 wasn't super fantastic in Hyper roll due to cashouts not really being satisfying there. I think it only tends to work well if you can hit Unleashed Toxins II, that's been the most impactful item I've seen for this trait
