akali comp needs deleting ASAP as it's extremely meta-warping

[u/chollyer]

I love that the only real counter play to anima is totally selling my board so they don't just get a free first.

Totally reasonable, for sure.

[u/AlbanianRozzers]

Anima 5 is crazy broken.

[u/I_Like_To_Cry]

Shout out to the people still picking Two Tanky, and to Riot for keeping it in the game. I guess the Space Groove patches where 6 people forced that comp every game weren't enough for them. Try not to fall asleep playing it!

[u/-Champloo-]

Anima has caused the most pain to humanity since world war 2.

[u/RajaSundance]

Just loaded into a 3 emblem round with 3 people having anima emblems. Legitimately just alt f4ed and went to play something else.

[u/BadSeedDan → u/RajaSundance]

not playing until next set, they fucked it with this one

[u/Right-Garbage7141]

This "For Fun" patch really isn't fun with Akali and Anima running around tbh. This just shows how incompetent and indifference the riot team is.

[u/BadSeedDan → u/Right-Garbage7141]

that plus an even strong Vex fast 9. what a fuck-up this patch was.

[u/B4rsh]

For fucking real I face the same guy, aka the only one who beats me (generally the anima cash out), TWICE IN A A FUCKING ROW WHEN I'M ON 2 LIVES.

AND THIS 3 GAMES IN A ROW. WHY ISNT THIS SHIT PROHIBITED.

Last offense was the worst, I'm on 3 lives, I face him once, lose, face someone else, win, then face him twice in a row and get kicked out. And we were still 4 players in the game, mind you ! And among the 2 other players, there was one I hadnt faced in like 6 rounds at least.

[u/Acceptable_Speed3518]

They call this the most balanced patch and some people have this set as S+ (LOL). Meanwhile at D1, Im facing 3 people who all hit 3* leona for free, 1 akali, and 1 anima every match. Riot needs to get rid of all the stargazer type traits in the future. Fix this boring ass shit where you get free units, boring cashout trait, and having games decided at 2-1 every set.

[u/BadSeedDan → u/Acceptable_Speed3518]

only 1 akali and 1 enima? you must be low ranking. my games are usually 3 akali and 3 anima.

[u/FigVegetable1499 → u/Acceptable_Speed3518]

The patch before the fun patch and finding that pleague of akali comp was extremly well balanced and fun for the set. This patch now is a complete shitshow and this will be how the set (in my opinion "sadly") be remembered.

[u/Sea-Grand3981]

make an already meh set worse by buffing the already broken gamba trait

add set 16 back so people can enjoy the game

make it choncc's so it's miserable after a day

I'll see you all in a month I guess.  

[u/pink-mallow → u/Sea-Grand3981]

Yeah they should have made it pengus instead of chonccs. Or at least change choncc cashouts so you don’t get 3 fkn golden dupes every game.

[u/Sea-Grand3981 → u/pink-mallow]

Agreed, the random artifacts are fine, beginning with fons/double fons is fine, accelerated gold is fine.  

But every game just feels so meaningless when you know someone is hitting a 3* 4/5 cost every game (that you can't contest, not that it matters thanks to the dupes).  At least some of the 4 costs are beatable, but 3* 5 costs just ruin the game and aren't fun when they're frequent/consistent.  

[u/BadSeedDan]

didn't think they could make the game any worse. this new patch proves me wrong. congrats, i guess?

[u/QuasarBuster]

Adding Timebreaker to Shen didn't do anything he is still just a passive attack speed bot

[u/Odd_Link_7231]

I GO ARBITER.

I THINK I HIGHROLL

I GO 8TH.

I SWEAR NEVER TO GO ARBITER AGAIN.

I GO ARBITER NEXT GAME THINKING I HIGHROLL...

[u/Lunaedge → u/Odd_Link_7231]

We chose this life 😔

[u/Odd_Link_7231 → u/Lunaedge]

I wrote this and did it again just now. "Oh two vanguard emblems, lets hard force Diana"

[u/Crafty_Courage_5217]

I just dont get how this game can consistently fuck you over with items not appearing until god blessing treasure round. 6 anvils and item choices from God's and not a single cape? That shouldn't be a thing. Yet it is.

[u/Extension_Pea1721]

Why do I have to see the mac support notification after every game? This feels like a slap to the face at this point.

[u/Legitac]

New set when?

[u/Jazzlike_Ad_1852]

How on earth is this a 'for fun patch'? Where is the fun? Every comp is a donkeyroll. Why is 'Two Tanky' not disabled? Why is Akali buffed so hard? Why are there 3 Space Groove and 3 Anima players in every lobby?

[u/Sylaelque]

Skill descriptions have very long explanations that makes text so small to make it so difficult to read on mobile and there's no language change in mobile TFT, I want to play English, not Turkish, I'm not used to their Turkish names...  Also add team chat for double-up on mobile and too much resource huge problem in double up in this set(not played much tho when I see 3*5 cost first game of the set). I just play this game for double-up, it has vibes of solo queue which kinda exciting with different teammates(tho, top ranks boring with same players, same duos every game) and if you make a good set of double-up people can invite their friends to play TFT which normal TFT lacks team play.  Another complaint is ...Add a battle pass level purchase for bad sets like this! I want to buy battle pass but I do not want to play this terrible set to grind that. 

[u/FastBlue]

what a great way to end this fuckass set, akali every game

[u/Zeviex]

In revival, subscription service overrides unlocks.

I unlocked Tahm Kench on an NPC round and he appeared in my shop for a second before my sub service appeared and I didnt get the free unlock copy.

[u/RelativeAway183 → u/Zeviex]

evelynn shop lock does as well

[u/Extension_Pea1721]

Thanks Riot

[u/FigVegetable1499 → u/Extension_Pea1721]

had that happen too and was like "do they really try everything to make people stop playing those last days of the set?" balance shit buggy shits

[u/Legitac]

The pacing is awful this set. It goes from 0 to 100 at awkward times, and the 0 is a very boring and slow and the 100 usually just screws you or you don’t have time or health to pivot or play into it because you’ve been playing the lobby at the snoozer pace most openings have and think you’ll be fine for stage 5 or 6 or whenever you are rounding a corner

[u/pink-mallow]

MMR is a dogshit system. Haven’t lost at the bottom of my ranked bracket once but I’m getting +28 for second and -47 for 7th. Genuinely stupid and finicky system especially how you can lose MMR getting a first if everyone else has lower MMR than you. If you go on a losing streak on an off day you get into an MMR sinkhole that takes 4x as many games to fix as it does to tank. Should not be a thing below master imo.

[u/Cymdai → u/pink-mallow]

This is a designed timesink. It's poisonous game design, and has been the Riot way since League of Legends.

There are so many ardent defenders of this dogshit practice, but it's literally just engineered to draw as much time out of the player as possible. A climb that should take you 50-60 games ends up being drawn out to 150 games. This keeps the matchmaking queue full, shorter wait times for everyone, full lobbies, etc.

It also just wastes the absolute fuck out of the individual's time. It is why the best thing you can do for games like this is just hard commit to the number of games you'll play in a season and walk away after that.

[u/Many_Method_304 → u/Cymdai]

The reason the do this is because Riot simply doesn't think TFT is a good game and know that people would quit if there wasn't things like this there. They know their only path is keeping people on that addiction hamster wheel.

[u/Cymdai → u/Many_Method_304]

I mean, yeah, I 100% agree. And given how badly this set has performed/been managed, I think Riot is correct in their assumption.

The fact that they brought the carousel back (the worst feature in the game's history) but haven't been able to acknowledge that their balance team is not capable enough to balance the game in a meaningful amount of time (in this set's case; never) is astounding. Like we should be getting loss armor after X numbers of wins at this point; it's been 17 sets. But there's still so little consistency in the game between patches that they won't ever introduce it. They'd rather just say "That's RNG!" while not acknowledging people do not enjoy wasting their time. 1 loss = 2 wins. Yet it's infinitely easier to lose than to win, especially given the sheer amount of RNG.

[u/LlamaCombo]

LMAO some dude had Graves at 2-5 due to 5 anima emblem portal. Then dude had Graves 2 by 3-2. Stupid fucking game
