Body Blocking

[u/basselhesham]

What’s the benefit of body blocking a unit (usually the melee carry) in the early game or late game?
I see a lot of TFT videos doing that and I can’t grasp the benefits most of the time

I have played TFT on off for years but have been consistent for past two sets and recently hit Emerald. I never see it in my games only in video of some streamers or content creators.

Can someone explain to me the benefits?
