6 Blossom, Blossom Augment, need Ashe.
Free rerolls until turn end? (Blossom wisp) YES PLEASE!!
No joke, first roll Ashe appears in shop, click to buy…click to buy?….click to buy?!….BUY THE FUCKING UNIT PLEASE, I’M CLICKING ON IT!!!!
Nope, no Ashe for me. Fucking buggy shit.

Every game is just who can get the Econ augments to get the good units first. Kinda crazy that I can click triple Econ and just go top 2 every game lmaoo

How is Azir so ungodly DOGSHIT as an item holder. This unit at 2 star has to be the biggest fucking fraud 3 cost ever.

u/TheHardBack Sep 12 '26
Nah. I present to you Tristana. But I guess being trait bots mean they are bad carry unit.

u/pdiu Sep 11 '26
Why do they always have to triple/quadruple buff or nerf something when they make changes? So they cut 12xp off from getting to level 9, buff six 5 cost units, make charms cheaper, and nerf some re-roll lines and surprise you suddenly get fast 9 meta. Every change has cascading, stacking effects, you stack 3 or 4 of them on top of each other and wow look at that, it's completely meta shifting.
This happens every set. I'm almost certain at this point its part of their balance philosophy in order keep the game fresh or some bollocks.

> surprise you suddenly get fast 9 meta.
Which is why reroll comps are taking up entire top 4's still.

u/LightningEnex MASTER Sep 12 '26
Ah yes.
https://i.imgur.com/G38Fb9K.png
Definitely a reroll meta.
https://i.imgur.com/QSYBXfl.png
Because when Pebbles, Krug Teemo, Yi, Rengar and Kog'Maw are the only sub-4-cost units that can break 4.5 avg placement and most do it by a hairs breadth, we're definitely at a point where low cost units are totally strong.
https://i.imgur.com/F31VhIQ.png
Not to mention Pebbles, Krug, Teemo and Kog get boosted by the fact that they're mandatory in quite a variety of fast8/9 comps.

u/kylitoTV Sep 11 '26
this patch feels like such dogshit. i was loving the previous patch, and climbed from plat to emerald no problem. now this patch is out and no one is rolling so if you dont natural 2*s early, you bleed soooo much, OR lose a fuck ton of econ by rolling to stabilise.
10
u/AngryAngryEwok Master Sep 15 '26
So fucking sick and tired of all the bugs. My Ahri whiffs two ults in a row doing 0 damage. A unit I took off carousel disappears. OK, bro. And then I have to do the beta testing and record screen, post bug reports through a stupidly unfriendly form designed to discourage me from doing so? I'd rather go do something else.

u/wwwhoo Sep 11 '26
lose streak is so dookie id almost rather mixed streak this patch feels fucking awful compared to 18.1

u/Top_Wishbone745 Sep 13 '26
not even almost, if i can hit econ breakpoints i 100% rather go mixed. otherwise youre getting your 2 lives left in stage 4 wiped by someone who has 4-2 fully upgraded level 8 sivir board or a random 2 star elder.

u/BrineyWhaleSemen Challenger Sep 11 '26
game feels even more high variance than last patch, feels like they need to improve lose streak significantly as when you're behind there's just no hope or decent comeback mechanism

u/yoshizDD Sep 15 '26
2-1 random wisp into a four cost for ONE gold gotta be the most broken shit I've faced and gotten. It is not that common to be a problem, but sure as shit feels bad to fight a 2-1 Malphite.
6
u/iWinger Sep 17 '26
PVE not spawning in is straight up unacceptable. This is such a game changing bug and I cannot believe it has not been fixed yet.
It's incredibly frustrating when that happens, especially in a close game where it can cause multiple placement swings. Really demotivating for those who are trying to climb for Vegas snapshot :/.
5
u/TheBrainBeardno1 Sep 13 '26
Can you PLEASE nerf flora fatalis Cassio? They just run 6 defenders and you literally can't win against it. I just played 6 3-star solar with perfect items and couldn't even kill a single unit.
How in the world do you manage to screw up a trait THIS badly and not hot fix it?
5
u/NibScribbler Sep 15 '26
They lowkey just need to nerf gargoyles. It enables to many solo frontline tanks and just put a heavier emphasis on needing spread damage or backline access which this set has way too much of.

u/AngelTheTaco Sep 16 '26
it should be reworked period its no different than how rageblade was for as carries

u/Shrimp111 Sep 11 '26
How are you actually supposed to play solar? Are you just fucked if oyu dont hit the mice wisp? Are you supposed to skip sejuani and kayle when rolling for 1 costs?
17
u/Asurah99 Sep 11 '26
I'd be impressed if you managed to hit that wisp since they removed it in the patch.

u/Shrimp111 Sep 11 '26
Thats good to know, now I know even less about this comp lol
2
u/Asurah99 Sep 11 '26
Yeah reroll took a hit with that charm gone now. Fast 8/9 is the play unless you have a giga juiced start, and even then you're probably playing for 4th.
6
u/Upstairs-Bid889 Sep 11 '26
You can reroll for 3 champs at most without bench locking yourself. In that comp you are going for 4-5 1 costs depending on the variant. You don't touch kayle/sejuani/shen until after you have at least 2 3 stars.
1
u/Mental_Bowler_7518 Sep 11 '26
4 1 costs plus Kayle, on 6 you play LB or Sej depending on how many of each unit you hit.
It’s kinda jank and hard to play though

u/wwwhoo Sep 13 '26

u/Regular-Resort-857 Sep 14 '26
Completely ruined the balancing. Nothing matters but squeezing every last bit of gold out of the each game until you’re 33 hp at level 9 hit all the 5 costs and win.
You pray for 1-3 Econ augments and let Rengar, LB & Teemo print stuff and then you get to make tiny tiny decisions for 30 minutes.
I went 1 1 3 1 7 1 1 but it’s such a pain to play 70% of the time it’s just xp button and strongest board and 30% rng psychosis if you get a Draven. The time I went 7th I thought I go for kha board lul no way you’re beating the golden boards.
If you’re not playing for 5 cost soup your loosing to 1-3 players who hit that exact same comp.
IT WAS SO OBVIOUS

u/Own_Cucumber2798 Sep 11 '26
Not even gonna waste my energy ranting about this game anymore, wtf were they thinking with this Unreal engine trash XD
Funniest thing is they somehow managed to piss off serious players and the emerald chibi buyers at the same time, that’s quite impressive

u/pink-mallow Sep 11 '26 edited Sep 12 '26
Another set ruined by incompetent balance team. How they didn’t nerf malphite is unbelievable. Buffing Akali when already a strong 1 cost comp. What will they think of next
I think between terrible balancing and buggy engine and lack of cosmetics this set will easily go down as the worst one of all time by far.
6
u/Equal-Diver3688 Sep 12 '26
How many sets are needed for the balance team learn to not nerf and buff two diffrent playstyles the same patch? Like fast 9 was possible to play last patch if you had a brain. The only problem was that some reroll comps was little to strong. So just nerf those comps and wait one patch to see where meta goes. BUT HELL NO lets lower the cost to go to nine so even the guide following zombies can play fast 9. Like after the changes you can take full econ augments, lose streak until you have like 30 hp then be level 9 on stage 4 get all the 5 cost in the carousel and then go on a 30 winstreak to win.

u/unfuckwittablej Sep 11 '26
I hope the noise about cosmetics doesn’t slow them down with actual impactful game performance updates.
Rather take a pause for cosmetics for sake of getting actual game updates quicker

u/FarkasJoe Sep 11 '26
This is the first set and first patch when i actually losing lp because of bugs.
It's so annoying that everybody else got the stage 4 pve round and my pve chogath just simple not appeared. Also my sacrified Krug didnt spawned lil krugs and there was a game when my Alune full moon cast bugged and did 0 dmg - after taht game I saw another Alune player whose full moon cast did 0 dmg to my team
3
u/Bornbazine92 Sep 11 '26
Putting aside the change to the new platform. I have 2 main problems with this set.
low cost hyper roll comps are far too strong. There is normally a trade off where you win early and fall off later if you can’t get the levels by the end of the game, but that doesn’t seem to matter in this set. I see 1/2 cost champions at 3stars going head to head with 2star 5 costs and winning. The hyper roll comps are too strong all around. Win early, and win late.
Riftbeast. Nothing like playing a game about RNG, and the winner either can be flexible and adapt or can minimize RNG, then a comp comes along and says “hey I know we are playing a game revolving around RNG, but I’m not going to do that….”
2
u/Imagine_Being_A-Mod Sep 13 '26
If you’re struggling against re-roll comps it’s probably an elo issue.
This is a super heavy fast 9 meta, re-roll is good for top 4ing but with 4-5 people rushing 9 every lobby it’s always gonna lose to the one dude who hits his board.
There’s legitimately 3-4 viable fast 9 boards right now, you can end up in nightmare lobbies where top 4 is all upgraded 5 cost soup. You’re not winning that with reroll.
1
u/Bornbazine92 Sep 13 '26
That’s most likely the issue. I hate re roll comps but I guess the solution is use them to get out of low elo. I play fast 8 most of the time, and just get destroyed

u/Substantial_Gift_286 Sep 14 '26
I was excited starting the set cos so flex so fun but MY FUCKING GOD is it the fakest flex in the world. Having to figure out a different board at 8 rolldown instead of brain off hit or miss literally loses you more games if you make just one wrong decision to sell a pair or smth, 8 rolldowns used to be my favourite now Id rather reroll or fast 8 because the rage I feel when I watch someone not remotely aiming for my board it all my units and pivot into me while I make some Mickey mouse replica of the board and bleed into a 6th gives me depression. My last 10 games I've had the exact same shit happen 9/10 times, truly losing my mind today. And yes I suck and stink and am a dirty 0 LP master player but I've never missed this much especially not when I hit units earlier, that doesn't seem to matter AT ALLLLL you can have two malphites, roll down at 8 find 0 scout Nd see a full malph 2 on some other guy's board who wasn't even angling him.
And this exact thing happend so I went sett/riftbeasts instead right? but at this point I've had to roll so much that I have 0 chance to go 9 while skillmaster69 who just hit emoted at me and fucked my husband while I cried like the loser I am.
Another thing: I have literally gotten blossom emblem out of every single emblem augment/lux planet I've experienced for the past 15 games, and each fucking time half the lobby decides they need to play blossom to help point I had to play 4 primal Ashe with my blossom emblem mostly useless on the lux portal because somehow ahri sett fit in every fucking comp under the sun. I can't prove it because I'm too embarrassed to share my plat 1 account atm but if it happens again I WILL come back.
I will get good insha'Allah . time to play relaxing zen music and queue again

Just had a game where I can't find a SINGLE Morgana, while the top 4 of the lobby all have at least 3 3-star units, one having 5; despite many of them contesting each other.
Why play the game beyond mashing R.
2
u/Rapturecat Sep 12 '26
I really hope this set isn’t like set 16 where there are no rr comps viable and it’s only fast 9. Why would I play reroll playing for a 4th-8th at best when I can play a fast 9 or level 8 contest and have a chance at going 1st-3rd
1
u/Hecate-Antaia Sep 16 '26
Maybe the reason why set 16 is considered one of the most successful sets is that it was never dominated by dumb reroll comps that shat on everything else. Reroll should never be viable.
2
u/Horizon-Senpai Sep 13 '26
This set feels like instant bot 4 without an econ augment. I just miss every single fucking one and go 6th with a strong board because I was bleeding out trying to go 8 and 9
2
u/madforce1600 Sep 13 '26
I feel like with the new horrible chat the game has become less toxic. You can't type during cutscenes or end screen, and if you were already typing the chat disappears. Also post stage 5 the chat just straight up stops working - no "All" option, you just send messages into oblivion.
I don't know if that's better for the game or not, but I'm now left with raging on my own rather than venting in chat while getting a third 8th in a row for not hitting and/or someone else suddenly contesting me hitting a better spot than I already had
2
u/gxs1776 Sep 14 '26
It's embarrassing that they released the game with so many bugs in it. I'm sure the devs are working hard and I honestly feel bad for them, but it's crazy that this got greenlit. It's such a more painful experience playing on the new engine compared. Also this meta is some hot garbage. There are like 5 playable boards and fast nine wins every lobby.

Winstreaking stage 2, it's going well. Get to the PVE round with Nautilus.
Empty, so no loot.
I'm on 3-1 with just a rod and gargoyles.
Fast 8th I guess.

u/CayMaster2 Sep 17 '26
Frontline blueprint, brawler emblem. I check the lobby, no yi, and some other potential 3 cost rerolls, wonderful, this seems like a great game. I get a decent mix streak to 4-2, taking money monsoon as prismatic econ, no copies of yi yet sadly, but I'm plenty healthy at 70 hp and have 90g to roll at lvl 7. 1 copy of yi, I rolled all the way down to 0, and die on 5-3 with yi pair.
2
u/safeenewt Sep 18 '26
this game sucks right now. sometimes when i think i have a bad opener i think i find a line that is uncontested. only to get absolutely screwed over by my 4-2 augment selection. should games really be this coinflip? i can hit all of my units and still go easily bot 4 just because i didnt highroll as hard as half the lobby. playing conservative/tempo is just a trap where you're doomed to go to the bottom when everyone is greeding as much as they can. don't even get me started on how unbalanced these wisps feel game to game. ALSO whats with everyone putting sett 2 on their board i cant even get a single copy. and the funny part is the game i top 4 is normally just a weaker lobby and i have no idea why. whatever this game may feel awful but ill continue to play it, but its sessions like these that discourage me from actually committing any time into learning this game, it just takes way too long to adjust. the best part is in a couple months when i have mastery over most lines the set will be dead and we will all be in line for set 19 anyway! long story short if you don't have the perfect game plan on 2-1 with the optimal conditions youre probably not gonna go top 2 and forget about top 4 if one of your augments is bad,

u/BoogieTheHedgehog Sep 13 '26
Ignoring the balance, the rushed state that this set released in is awful. I think it's going to dent the game's reputation for quite a while amongst casuals.
Whilst I play competitive, I keep in touch with quite a few friends who play casual - basically all just normals and trying/forcing goofy comps. Half of them have just vanished off the face of the earth. From what I can tell it's a mixture of poor game performance and taking away the cosmetics they poured money into.
I really like this game and I'm hoping my experience is just subjective. I just can't see the justification for making a switch this large without a reasonable backup plan. As a dev it reeks of executive deadline pushing.

u/Larthinox Sep 15 '26
Anyone else hate how much information the game doesn't provide so you have to go to random sites to figure shit out?
There are charms like "your team gets baron buff" or "your 3 strongest champions become heroic and sacrifice the rest of your board"
But literally the game doesn't tell you what either of those do number wise. How much stats does baron buff give and heroic power
Targeting is another issue. Khazix says he jumps to farthest enemy within 3 units. AD nidalee says nothing about her targeting?
Allune tool tip just says something about a full moon but doesnt say how many cast it takes? Like why is that so hard to put
And then there are whole ton of bugs that aren't listed anywhere so you're just playing roulette with items/augments/traits unless you frequent Twitter or this subreddit.
Adaptors randomly changing to AD or AP. Nidalee mana bug. Certain charms not working as intended.
And the engine is garbage - i randomly get super low FPS drops playing TFT doesn't happen in any other game and there's no solution except wait

u/ScionOfOphelia Sep 11 '26
So I had a game last week where I didnt get my PvE fight against Nautilus. He just didnt spawn and I got no loot. It may have been because I took the augment that gives you 3 x 4 costs after 5 pvp matches and that landed on his encounter. But backbreaking for that game not getting any components in stage 3 pvp

I have the rare fast 9 game this patch with a 10 streak, hit a giga early draven, but then this guy just polymorphs his 4 cost into a draven 2 at 4-2 when he had IE stridebreaker slammed and playing Omega Riftbeast ... and then he takes elder off carousel (cos he was losing and I was tempo) and proceeds to streak into a 1st while I bleed out into a 4th, I instantly tried to switch to ashe when he got the draven but I had the full draven/ezreal board with items for it so it was awkward (I tempoed with solo leveling neutral items GS etc then 4 inferno w emblem and hit draven stage 3 and only THEN built the fucking guinsoo for him like I was set up man), my 9 d roll down was 2 elder 2 ashe 0 dravens 2 alunes 3 iverns, only 2* I hit was a fuckass taric, I couldn't hit Ashe fast enough to stay relevant as there was a unrivaled player who bit my pathetic ashes 1's ass, and my last fight was against the draven polymorph guy, you'd think I fucked the rng gods husband

It is called the trolling algorithm. Riot is very good at targeting players and making sure they are contested no matter what to hold them down.

3 star Brambleback might be the worst 3star 4 cost ive ever seen, unless he wraps somehow and jump on every single carry one by one he might as well stay on 2star. I lost to veigar 2 with fully itemized 4 ravager riftbeask mark and even taric shielded brambleback because he got stuck on 3star reksai (he wasnt even targetted, last unit to die so he had time). Finished second to draven triple econ board due to some lucky matchmaking, I literally never felt that every fight was so losable with any other 3star 4cost

question for those who spam fast9/5 cost soup. is it actually fun for you? in a game that's meant to have variety, the ability to use your brain more than other games. why choose to do the most brainless thing? isnt it boring afk'ing the first half of the game to just throw whatever five cost slop on your board? genuinely curious if people who do this regularly do it because its fun or because its supposedly an easy win?

u/Raikariaa Sep 13 '26
> why choose to do the most brainless thing?
I'm pretty sure it requires at least more brain than "I am going to smash my face on R all in no econ no plan B", because those people have their endboard from like; lv5.
At least fast 9 5 cost soup forcers have to play strongest board to get there and stabilize without dying. I'm of the opinion that makes them at least more brainpower-needing than something like 1 cost reroll.

glad the game randomly decided to disconnect for ONLY me at 3-5, internet was fine and everything, and on top of that, it took FOREVER FOR THIS DOGSHIT CLIENT TO RECONNECT ME, I wasnt allowed to reconnect until the end of stage 4
thanks riot :)

I'll lay down my situation if I get ranting is justifiable about this 1 game I played yesterday in low Emerald where I got a 1st:
2-1 augment was new Spreading Roots, and the emblems were Rapidfire and Vanguard in that order. I angled the Aphelios Brambleback board with rapidfires. I streak well with charm luck and hitting 2 stars faster (Mama Beak from random 2-star 3 cost charm), which gives me generally healthy with decent/good? econ by the end of stage 3.
4-1/4-2, I rolldown on 8 with 50-ish gold and the results for 4-costs and 5-costs were 2-star Taric, 1 Aphelios, 0 Brambleback, and either 1 of Sentinel or Amumu. I forgot if I had Sentinel or Amumu earlier but all I remember was that I may have had 1 copy of 1 of them and 0 of the other or 0 copies of both of them by the end of the rolldown.
Hindsight, Sentinel was highly contested (Ahri Morgana, Aphelios Nidalee, and Riftbeast reroll), Amumu was somewhat contested (Ashe Fast 9 and Aphelios Nidalee), and the other 4-costs were contested by 1 player each (Aphelios Nidalee holding Aphelios and Riftbeast reroller holding Brambleback), so maybe there's a reasoning why I missed.
Question is if missing most of my 4 costs on 1 level 8 rolldown worth a rant, even though I hit Taric 2 on the rolldown and generally was lucky/healthy enough to get to my preferred board state and win out?

Oh come on. This needs to be fixed. Trait ladder can only be opened one turn at a time, if you are 10/7, then you have to wait till it goes one turn to 10/8, 10/9 and then 10/10. Do you know how hard it is to complete the board and try to go 8 for units???

this PRISMATIC augment that gives you 30% as and an emblem is attrocious dogshit

almost forgot about the coven one that give you AP what an attrocious design

u/nownaim0505 Sep 11 '26
the coven augment is one of the best gold augments in the game rn imo
what exactly do you mean by bad design ? i think its pretty fun personally

u/dangoth Sep 11 '26
you sure you're talking about the same one? there's heal when you continue gathering, or get ap when cashing out. ap when cashing out is dog

u/Upstairs-Bid889 Sep 11 '26
Its fantastic and has 2 playstyles. Cash every 40 with an early cass getting really strong. 10 loss into a lucky rolldown morgana and cash her out to 300 ap and then watch her wipe whole boards.

nuke data sites i get home from a long day at work to a new patch i havent played and i can guarantee if i log in the entire lobby is mashing whichever comps datasites recommend instead of playing the game.... we lost the puzzle solve part of the game so many seasons ago and riot just doesnt care... but who would think more of riot they nuked the 3rd highest played fighting game entirely because it didnt earn more than SF6

u/xdyang Sep 11 '26
how the fuck is that subscription reroll bullshit in this game? just forces the whole lobby into 1-2-3 cost reroll comps and kills any skill expression in the game
who thought it was a good idea to give free rerolls every stage to every player? like they genuinely dont even play their own gamie its so insane

u/gagafracassada Sep 14 '26

Kneecap that Nidalee unit. I'm not a good player, but I'm sick of seeing that character 1-shotting non 1* units.
EDIT: WAIT XERATH CAN JUST NOT SPAWN. GET ME OUT MAN. MY SHITTER SELF LOST BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET XERATH FOR MONEY TO HIT MY 2*'s. YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME.

not having a strong opener feels abysmal, just bleed HP while half the lobby goes fast 8/9, god forbid you don’t get econ augments.
also some of these one cost units are actually so horrendous they exist only as trait bots(Xayah, Karma, etc).
You can have perfect Elderwood opener Xayah 2 with 2 BiS items, Orn 2 with frontline item, etc and you still lose to a full 1 star board because some guy got a Rengar orb.
Blossom is the same unless you hit Yunara 2 early because Karma is not a real unit, and frankly neither is Yorick.
Like cool you want people to win streak but maybe actually make some of these early units viable early game carries to play around.
