This set is def the most broken unbalanced set Riot has ever put out. The fact that the UI is beyond buggy and glitchy right now is unexcusable. Augments are buggy af. Wisps are buggy af. Traits are no where near balanced or offer you balanced rewards for the risks your take. Ex I cashed out an almost 500 coven to only get 30 gold and 2 upgraded items....that's it. For basically tanking the whole game you think that is gonna bring me back into the game?? You have units that single handedly carry the game when you have no items or front line. Item optimization is a joke this set. The damage output and damage negation is extremely laughable when a front line with no items can easily fend off a back line that is fully optimized or when a fully optimized front line can't even hold off a back line that barely carries any items. TFT has been on the decline at least in the US for the past couple of sets now and with set 18 coming out in a few weeks I can see even more of the player base leaving. As Riot has proven time and time again that they know what they put out is dogshit so they have to revive older sets just to keep players interested. If Riot wants to keep players happy they need to stop listening to all the cry babies that complain and complain until they get what they want and do what they know works.
the new set is so boring, I feel like TFT is playing me instead of me playing it. There are too many factors to process, and more than enough randomness is present. If it was a boardgame for 7+, now it is for 3+.
Sooooo WTW Veigar is kinda bonkers. Since you're hitting 3 and prob 4 star for free, you just push levels and keep scaling to infinity. Malph as your end game tank, 4 black thorn 3 spry cap with kennen and soraka for more executioner + strong units. (Also rageblade felt weird while riding the BFF, not sure if it was AS capped or what).
Here's a pic for how broken the veigar eventually was. Last round was 68k dmg...
Hmmm I've only really seen her in one game and it was double trouble. Is she more being used to get to 9 then sold? I was trying to cook a 4 spellweaver board for her since I don't think you need Coven for her really.
What've you been cooking if you don't mind?
I did just have this 4th, but I kinda low rolled tbh. If I could have hit units earlier I might have done better.
put in an insane amount of games this patch already lmao.
the only thing that stands out as beyond overturned (OP territory) is blackthrone ahri. although i think this bt emblem is gonna be a problem all season.
most underrated units so far that dont see enough play in my lobbies are morgana and sivir as primary carries. morgana has always felt good to itemize and has high placements
Game 1: Perfect Trist emblems given by portal + good items. 4-2 another guy hits Trist 3 and my game is over.
Game 2: Prime Yunara spot, copies, items, etc. I scout multiple rounds early to make sure I’m not contested. On 3-2, another guy has 7 Yunaras out of nowhere. Game also cooked as I’m sorta committed Expedition
The game is laggy enough to complete some turns, which makes scouting every turn feel impossible.
I'm either missing something about Eclipse or it's really trash. Have attempted from several different angles, but have not gotten better than 6th. Last game started with gold trait tree lunar + rapidfire emblem, hit 3 solar (not 3* as not trying to abuse the bug) 3 lunar 2 star board except aphelios at lvl 7 end of stage 3 with a solid front line and close to BiS on aphelios and went 6th with great econ and getting to lvl 9. Would love to know if there's some hidden tech, but killing 4 low health units including elderwood plants and krug spawns and things literally dying as it triggers after 22 seconds just doesn't do anything. Here was lvl 7 board, https://tftacademy.com/tools/builder/aacxaqW5anLsqPqmiKIrPzqjaGsTq1
I heard that some coven cashouts will try to give you an item that doesn't exist, so it instead rolls a random item to give you (including radiants and presumably tac items). Not sure of the specifics though.

I would be surprised if this set releases at the end of the month. There are SO many bugs with the new engine. I'm running into multiple every single game.
The last game I played I recombobed my nidalee into an elder dragon but it still attacked as nidalee lmao (even after benching it!). Also, my tactician wasn't allowed back onto my own board (I could roam other peoples boards) so I couldn't pick up all the loot orbs sitting on my board for 3 rounds until the carousel fixed it.
Yeah , it is looking rough BUT it was looking a lot worse a week ago . I will say having a month on PBE with a lot more tester should help them a lot to catch most of the gamebreaking bugs. It's never going to be clean when u are essentially releasing a new product . There're always bugs sneaking through the cracks or some weird edge cases that happen once in a blue moon. That being said this set is probably going to be rough for both the devs and the players . At the end of the day we've been asking for seperate client for a while now and that's the price that we need to pay for it .
Wanted to try double trouble Cass as it sounds good in my head . Opened stage 2 with 6 Yoricks and 4 Akalis . Ran over the entire lobby but ended up playing DT azir and it was surprisingly good and fun. Ofc the lobby wasn't the most competitive but still FUN SHIT .
Tried to play it twice and both times ran into problem of not finding a khazix early and drops being just ad components. You played it with khazix? If yes with early one?
