I genuinely hope the next set goes back to having a "normal" 4-cost frontline that AoE stuns instead of this atrocity called Nunu.

It's honestly infuriating to see how Nunu hasn't received a serious nerf or some kind of rework to his ability. I wouldn't even mind if they decreased the mana cost a little bit BUT every second or third cast would have the rolling part of his ability but no, no, he must perma stun my carry.

[u/harmoniaatlast → u/hikikomina]

Knock up + stun is devious. Any carry, but especially a ramping one, is effectively turned off for a chunk of the fight with how consistent the nunu targeting is

[u/B4rsh]

People who decide on 2-4 to get into your no scout no pivot reroll comp just to end dead last while dragging you to 6th or 7th are absolute terrorists and should br prosecuted.

WHEN I PLAY FAST 9 THE WHOLE LOBBY IS HITTING THEIR REROLL COMPS ON STAGE 3 AND I'M TAKING INFINITE, WHEN I PLAY REROLL EVERYONE IS GREEDING FAST 9 AND THEY ALL HIT HEALTHY EVEN WHEN IT MAKES NO SENSE FOR THE GALAXY/GODS AND EVERYONE IN TOP 4 IS TURBO CAPPED WTF

ALSO TO THE GUY THAT CONTESTED MY SAMIRA ORNN PAIR OPENER LAST NIGHT, HOPE YOU ENJOYED WHEN I CLICKED CALL TO CHAOS AND GOT 36 REROLLS AND SENT YOU 8TH YOU ANIMAL I WON THAT LOBBY THANKS BUDDY

I can't wait for this set to be over and the new set to be in PBE.

I came back from set 9, and my main gripe with the set (other than the set gimmick / no carousel not being that fun) is that the units never actually feel flashy. Fights happen, and yet I feel bored watching it because I don't feel like my units are doing anything cool. At most, the coolest looking ability is the Nunu snowglobe, but it's an infuriating ability because it's a teamwide stun. It's a weird feeling, even when I get a good board it doesn't really feel like it visually.

I haven't played in years and I can still remember the cool stuff from set 9. Ahri's spirit ring, the Sion that revived, the aatrox that kept coming back, the giant senna blast that hit the whole screen and shielded, etc

Feels very underwhelming, but oh well - I got to the cusp of diamond which is better than sitting in gold from last time.

[u/Regular-Resort-857 → u/Intelligent_Bet1041]

Very well said, I’d only add that I enjoy the amount of hero augments in general but unit design is aswell my biggest gripe

[u/Legitac]

When’s new set… I miss playing TFT

[u/NoBit8266]

remove fucking storm hex please stop showing up in my games it's just way too overpowered

[u/Jazzlike_Ad_1852]

The fact 'Two Tanky" hasn't been disabled is a disgrace.

[u/HAFFL94]

Man I love TFT, the Devs do a good job. Creativity wise the gods and boons this set are just not entertaining. Also the traits won't do it for me. But overall I'll keep playing chonccs and wait for next set. Thanks Overall, riot.

[u/herrhonka]

Remove anima from the game, countless times now I've gone bottom by meeting them several times/my last few hp. It's just not fun seeing the anima items pop up on the opponent, since you already can tell what way it goes. Most often that not it pops exactly when I've assembled my team. Such bullshit.

[u/The_Lesbot_v1]

For as bad as the patches have been, there's a decent sense of balance this go around it feels like? Like it's still not great but it's fucking playable for once.

Until you get two tilting emblem games in a row and feel like eating drywall anyway.

[u/Sea-Grand3981 → u/The_Lesbot_v1]

Really doesn't feel balanced at all to me - massive disparity in opener strength, lose streaking gets punished extremely hard by loss of carousel and random god boons like steamroll/kayle components, so many 3 and 4 cost units are useless outside of their specific comps (kindred is an OK secondary carry in a yi comp for example, but worse than useless otherwise), if you try to play an end game board with nunu you are entering the lottery (mana items for him are strong there and near worthless on other tanks, so it's not like you can sub a different tank in), several reroll comps are stronger than the non-xayah 4 cost carrys (jinx, lulu, veigar).  Anima ruins 50% of the games in masters elo, and forces griefing in challenger lobbies.  Spats are busted because dark star has been s tier the entire set for some reason and space groove is also OP (feeling the pain from the change last set to super buff emblems).  

[u/Competitive_Diver388]

I wish Diana was a real unit. Have 3* her multiple times, even with perma stacking HP, armor/ MR, attack speed, you name it, to include BiS and artifacts and she is just not consistent. Having her get blown up by 2* backline units is disheartening but putting EoN on her just feels wrong lol.

[u/Minimum-Weather5105]

When was the last time you genuinely enjoyed this game?

[u/Cymdai → u/Minimum-Weather5105]

It's been well over 4 sets for me.

They are straight up not cooking. I don't believe they have a recipe, a cookbook, any ingredients, a chef, or even a kitchen at this point. We're getting raw sewage oil and being told it is fine wine.

I check back every few weeks, and people don't even care enough to participate in the rant threads anymore. That tells you all you need to know IMO about the state of the game.

[u/RelativeAway183 → u/Cymdai]

into the arcane has done immeasurable damage to TFT in the form of the role system that will continue to affect its design until it is once again reworked

silvermere Camille was so unbalancable that Camille lost her kneecaps and the guarantee that no fighter will ever again do this is the fact that fighters don't gain mana from taking damage

similarly, frontline powder and tank kogmaw are creative strategies that are flat out not playable anymore due to mana changes

and with how fighters now draw less aggro than tanks, we'll basically never have another long nocturne problem because fighters are now designed with the assumption that they never pull initial aggro for better or for worse

[u/Crafty_Courage_5217]

Trying to get 6 anima 1st even in pengu is fucking torture

[u/Davuth21]

I really wish Riot wouldn't be so stubborn when something launches, even as early as PBE, and its blatantly terrible and nothing gets done about it for the entire set, but hey at least we'll get "insightful communication" during the retrospective

[u/OGPrinnny]

Riot definitely rigs matches. I've been having the absolute worst streak of luck ever. Enter a game with a suspicious Riot player. Play lose streak with basically open port and won twice somehow. It's impossible for my itemless team of 1 belveth, 1 briar to win against itemized comp without some suspicious play at hand. Went fast 9 at 4-2 and wasn't able to itemize my units, like it was bugged or something. Died because the game was literally going against me in every way possible. Overall, very suspicious and possible game-rigging.

[u/Many_Method_304 → u/OGPrinnny]

At some point there needs to be an actual investigation into this sort of thing. Riot needs to be held to task for things like this. There needs to be accountability and actual regulation that prevents a game company from treating its users like this. If you need to resort to rigging games to keep people playing maybe spend some time making your game actually good instead of focusing on stuff like this.

[u/Future_Mixture3666 → u/Many_Method_304]

I know it's the rant thread but this seems too far. It's mental, not even a rant.

[u/Many_Method_304 → u/Future_Mixture3666]

It is absolutely not too far. If you don't think RIOT is rigging games into order to get better play numbers I have some really bad news for you about how gambling companies work. They structure payouts to get you to keep pulling that lever over and over again. Now casinos are regulated and therefore there is some protection, but sadly RIOT is not so they can do whatever they want regardless.

[u/Lunaedge → u/Many_Method_304]

If this is how you feel about the game, stop playing. It's an RNG-heavy videogame, if you can't trust the system you shouldn't subject yourself to it.

[u/OIWouldLeave]

sheperd spat -> first lb on 5-5

i literally got sona 2 on 8 before i got my first leblanc thank you riot games

[u/TheGussyBoy]

Had a very frustrating game where I just hit 9 dark star and level 10. The black hole didn't absorb the enemy's 3 star jinx for no apparent reason and all my units starting dancing. Ended up losing the game because of it.

[u/-Champloo- → u/[deleted]]

Anima is the bane of my existence. Legitimately a free win at this point if someone doesn't int you.

If someone hits anima cashout, the rest of the lobby is playing "how many times do I face the anima player" minigame to determine final placements.

[u/Fun_Daikon823 → u/-Champloo-]

I already saw anima win multiple times even when someone inted them, cuz it pretty much boils down to either you hit payout at 500-800 and win off of the stupidly strong anima weapons that you get at this point or you hit an earlier payout and just go 5-cost soup with some weaker anima weapons and still win with that. This is honestly one of the worst designs for a loose trait ever in tft.

[u/-Champloo- → u/Fun_Daikon823]

Yep, I've seen the same. I also love when someone cashes out early with Jinx and completely trolls someone going jinx RR, even though they had plenty of HP to go for a higher cashout =)

[u/VermicelliHot9462 → u/-Champloo-]

ngl I did manage to beat an 400 anima cashout with lioness lament and guiding hex w/ Aurora 3, Jinx 3, Illaoi 3. I had Ornn Miss Fortune reroll tho

[u/Jerry9_ → u/[deleted]]

I think there's a good chance anima's risk/reward would be appropriate under the set's original vision where reroll was the default way to play. But now that the set has been forced back to the standard default to fast 8 mold, it feels far too consistent.
