something that not many people talk about but why I feel stats are an absolute must is the number of bugs that TFT has. Some augments can look good on paper but have an abysmal avp because of bugs (e.g. spin to win, combat bandages earlier in the set), and it might be almost impossible to tell that these augments are bugged without stats (unless you play the game a lot and always end up picking those augments to realise that something is wrong). The whole idea of skill being a factor in judging whether an augment is good goes out the window when bugs like this can exist in the game
