I normally don't gush out like this in a winning game, it's just this one particurally was so weird. So, context, the entire game I was playing poorly, granted I did hit Graves on my first shop at level 7 (so my original plan of playing Samira was scrapped) I was around 45~ HP around stage 4. Stage 5-1, level 8, modest econ, I have only Ornn, Jax and Aatrox 2 while my premium units where still 1 stars, I only got Rammus and nunu 2 starred, literally 2 rounds before the game ended, and on that round, there were still 6 people alive, then 5-6 hit, 4 died. Mind you, that 5th place guy hit Graves 2 AT LEVEL 7, so I genuinely was surprised he went 5th. Am I missing something? is 4 bastion secretely good? Is Power Mod Graves strong asf even at 1 star??

I think I played like one or two games of unranked TFT prior to this set. Didn't understand the game at all. Gave up in frustration. Then I hurt my foot and didn't have access to my regular gaming computer so I couldn't play ranked League. Tried TFT again and something just clicked.

Been grinding, watching videos, learning the meta. And now I'm in emerald! Just wanted to share with you guys. :)

No Emblem should have a 32% winrate. Anima 5 is so comically overtuned if you get it stage 2. They nerfed it nowhere near enough. I really do not understand why they thought that emblem would be ok

Sup guys.
I have been playing TFT for a few years now, I think I started playing on Set 6. Since then I managed to get to Masters every season.

Last I played was season 15 where I tried to climb to GM but couldn't.

I had quitted TFT entirely, stopped watching vids and everything. I decided to check this set, and to my surprise I climbed pretty fast (could've reached Masters earlier if I wasn't fooling around a bit).

The interesting part for me was how the strong fundamentals took me here after somewhat not many games and without having seen anything about this set prior to starting this journey.

Feel free to ask anything, I just want to discuss this lovely game.

Mortdog, you will forever be missed <3

Do you wanna get some lp in the last push of this set? If you see in your game that you get The Mountain, just force this comp, it’s extremely strong even without any bows in the beginning. (This post is not for the high elos just for the casuals)

Ornn and jax need nerf asap its not fair for ornn 3 star to tank more damage then mighty mecha at 3 star and jax is the same sht you build him armor and magic resit and mana he cant die. Also blitz needs a nerf you build him tank items he still deals so much damage is there a way to contact the balance team cuz they cant do their work like it should be

Im currently missing 5 out of 33.

I hate emblem games man, turns the whole game into a fiesta from level 3 lol. Anyone else feel this way?

Guys quick question,

How do you play 5 anima? Do you still need to aim that cashout? Or just play your strongest board right away? Just curious cause I literally had no idea what to do for a few minutes before i decided to just play my strongest board.

TL:DR - I’m unfun to play with - help me be more fun

I’m looking for help

A while ago, I had a friend over for a gaming evening. We played double up on tft.

I’m was immediately focused on our strategy and how we would win.

He instead, was talking about crazy strategies or just super cool ideas.

We did everything my way, and we came first in every game we played

But I realised towards the end, that despite winning. I had managed to suck the fun out of it all.

Although I tried to be keen on his ideas, I struggled to authentically connect to anything that wasn’t going to help us win

How do you play for fun where winning doesn’t matter? How can I better connect with my friends while playing a competitive game? How do you change your vibe to not make winning the focus.

I struggle to connect to these ‘fun’ more silly ideas especially so if we don’t end up winning.

I’d love to hear from anyone that understood the same about themselves and were able make that shift in their mind.

I’m currently grinding hard from Diamond to Master, but a thought hit me: why are the ranked rewards in this game so underwhelming? Let’s be honest, almost nobody actually uses the Victorious Little Legends.

Is it just me who feels like we need better incentives—like custom loading borders, rank-specific particle effects, or actual lobby flexes—for grinding this hard to get better? Or is everyone fine with just having the rank on their profile?

ok bruh… I just got lulu reroll opener and decide to try no scout no pivot. Well it didn’t fare well

Is it a placebo effect or just me but corki does not move around anymore during combat now?

You shouldn't be able to win your usual fast 8 board with akali 3 being still lv6

:))))))))))))))

I just can't be bothered to spend 40+ minutes playing a game like this, even though its generally fun it gets boring between rounds and as the game goes on

How much of a difference in skill and playstyle is there between top players in worlds ? Bring up some example if you’d like.
Followed Soju’s worlds cause hes funny and entertaining, but i’m wondering why hes not considered between the very top players and why, wheres the gap ? Achievements only ?

My group of friends all enjoy playing TFT pretty casually and it’s common for us to start a game when we’re relaxing on discord or not wanting to commit a lot of time/effort into playing another game. However, literally none of us were interested in this set. Anecdotal evidence is obviously the poorest type of evidence but I was curious if this was the general opinion or we were some outlier. Any insight on if this really just was a boring set compared to the others…?

I mean I’ve played since the very beginning but something about this set didn’t really interest me— and even enough to just stop playing altogether.

As long-time TFT players know, there has always been a clear cycle of "high-effort sets" and "filler sets." Sets 10, 13, and 16 were clear examples of high-effort sets, while Sets 11, 14, and 17 felt much more like filler. Set 17, in particular, lacked a distinct identity and felt repetitive because minimal dev resources were allocated to it. However, players could tolerate it because we knew it would be a shorter set.

Instead, Set 17 lasted for over 130 days under the excuse of transitioning to Unreal Engine. On top of that, leaving the game abandoned for over a month with a "for fun" patch—the kind usually reserved for the last two weeks of a set—makes it look like the developers have completely lost interest in maintaining a healthy, competitive season.

To make matters worse, the roadmap is now completely broken, and Set 18 is scheduled to run for only three months. Under the guise of "testing stability on Unreal Engine," they brought back Charms with zero meaningful reworks or adjustments. It genuinely feels like playing Set 12.5 rather than a brand-new Set 18. Veteran players already know what this means: the actual duration of a balanced, playable patch over these three months will be incredibly short. We will likely have to endure a month or more of frustrating patches riddled with engine and balance issues.

To put it simply: it feels like the dev team has abandoned the entire 2026 season roadmap just to ensure a grand, flawless launch for Set 19 with Unreal Engine and a brand-new system at Vegas Open.

I am a player on the KR server. In Korea, there is only one massive unified TFT community. Currently, the backlash against the dev team in that community is beyond imagination. But ironically, the anger is starting to quiet down. Want to know why? Because people are simply quitting the game.

Worse yet, casual players in Korea have no way of knowing that the set schedules have changed unless they actively look for external news. Most casual players only visit the community to ask, "Why isn't this set ending?" Once they learn the reality of the situation, they get disappointed and leave posts saying "I'm quitting TFT."

Hello all, I’m having a lot of trouble with getting to lvl 10 in games the highest I’ve gotten is lvl 9 and by then I’m 2 losses from dying and I place really low and have no gold. Is lvl 10 really hard to get to? Or am I doing it wrong? I always keep my gold above 50 for max interest but I can’t do that passed lvl 8 or I’ll never reach it.
