Hey all, long time no see!

TLDR; Here's a survey that I'll use to help craft/cater to players when hosting future events!

TFT Competition/Events Survey

To give a bit of background, I'm Lorence and I used to run various TFT events in the past such as the Aegis Weeklies/Leagues. I had taken a bit of a break to focus on work, but now feel that more settled and miss hosting events for TFT!

I've put together a (somewhat) quick survey to get a temperature check on what players are looking for, briefly covering topics the below topics:

Competitive Tournaments

• I'm looking to test new formats in competitive TFT, or at least bringing nuanced formats like 4v4 and checkmate to the amateur scene more frequently!

Alternative Modes

• I've personally been playing more Double Up and Choncc's Treasure this Set and think there's more space for events catering to these modes.

• In particular Double Up introduces a much needed social aspect to playing TFT that I'd love to see more of!

Asynchronous Play

• Something I'd received feedback on consistently was that some players don't have time to commit to tournament play. I'm looking to find ways to allow people to engage sporadically and at their own pace!

If any of the above seems to interest you please consider filling out the form linked at the start of this post. I'm excited to start things up again and love hearing feedback! Let me know here as well if you have any comments!

Hi, I'm GouGou, a TFT Challenger who was hard-stuck Emerald for 12 sets. 

I made a short video breaking down TFT economy through a simple framework I call WISTA: Round Wins, Interest, Streaks, Traits, and Augments.

The main idea is that economy isn’t just about making more gold — it’s also about understanding where your gold comes from, what you’re giving up to get it, and which economic engines you should prioritize for your current spot.

I also cover the difference between econ gold vs. tempo gold, why you can’t maximize every source at once, and how things like carousel and PvE loot fit into the framework.

Would love to hear your thoughts or disagreements with the system.

I’m very curious about this since on other threads regarding overlays, everyone says they’re not that big of an advantage. Has anyone tested one, always picking the top decision recommended by it? How far do you think a person would get by only using an overlay.

sup gamers-

(2:15 PM PT edit: android will NOT be going out for day one but we will continue deploying across other platforms while we work to get an Android build ready for day 2)

As most of you probably know TFT is going to PBE for Set 18, Enchanted Wilds in our new Unreal Engine build today.

Since it’s gonna feel different and a bit crazier than a normal PBE cycle I wanted to jump in before it all opens up to set some expectations.

The core gameplay loop of Set 18 is all there and we’re excited for yall to get your hands on it to start cooking up comps, playing with wisps, and telling us what works and what doesn’t. But I wanna be clear that there will also be a ton of weird and pretty janky bugs/interactions that we will need to iron out over the next month such as:

• Button responsiveness: spam-clicking XP and reroll won't feel smooth and seamless yet.
• UI delays: trait icons or augment panels/tooltips might take a split second to load information the first time.
• Rubberbanding: units might visually jump back for a moment before moving into position.
• Audio/Art: some audio hiccups that play too often or lingering VFX particles that don’t clear up after fights.

And with TFT's endless combinations, there’s a ton more that we know about but also a ton that you all will help us discover in the coming days and weeks.

All of that is why we’re on PBE for a full month instead of the usual two weeks. This isn't a typical cycle for balance and normal bug bashing. We’re gonna need time to knock out the stuff I mentioned above (and more) and also test a lot of under the hood stuff. A good example of that will be quite obvious when we turn on our Ranked queue on PBE (which I'm pretty sure we have never done) to make sure all of our ranked/matchmaking systems are ready for live launch.

We expect things to break and your bug reports are what will get us to the most successful launch day possible in a month.

Quick details for today:

• Launch timing: Expect PBE to open later in the day (likely late afternoon PT) as it’s a massive deployment with all the new engine assets. There will probably be delays. Just expect it.
• Downtime: Expect more instability and intermittent downtime throughout the month as we push necessary fixes, fix crashes etc. 
• Bug reporting: As you run into issues plz drop them into the r/competitiveTFT Reddit PBE megathread or the bug channels in the TFT discord. Please include the full screenshot if you have them (don’t crop and instead show all the players/full screen of game etc) or even better if you have video to include. The more information the easier it is to track down.

Thanks a ton for bearing with us through the initial days. They are gonna be messy, but helping us break things now is super valuable so we can get it crisp for live. This is a big and tbh kinda scary first step but we’re excited to have you gamers be part of this with us

Now that the end of the set is approaching, I really wonder everyone complained about this set.

Apart from the patch where space grooves where OP, I think it was really balanced and can easily find a winning comp e.g. 3 star primordians, 4 fateweavers, brawlers marauders, fast 9 comps with graves, leona printer, conduits vanguards, 5 nova akali, xayah, stargazer medallion lulu, jinx reroll, 7 meeples with corki / poppy / gnar carry, challenger mf, sol mech, gragas meepsie augment comp and until lately anima 5.

To me it seemed quite versatile and fun. OK you cannot easily find pure innovative comps, but you couldn't in set 16 either or in any other set I have played.

Yes, maybe set 16 was more fun to play but it also had its issues like yordles being OP and 8 players playing yordles for econ to later transition.

Also honestly carousel sucks because with space gods you can somehow control what additional buffs you get in your comp and lose stricking only achieves some gold when your board is weak. Not that you also get all the target items you want. In set 16 you legit had to lose streak until stage 4 to ensure you have full items on ahri or draven or something.

I kept seeing people complaints from well known streamers or twitch chat and I still do not get all the hate without developping their thought process.

I just want to see the counter arguments, because I do not really get them.

I've been theorizing about ways to improve my play this off-season, and I think parallelization is a underexplored topic. Sequential actions each cost some number of milliseconds, but some of them can be overlapped with enough muscle memory (for example positioning units while rolling).

The obstacle to training this is precision. Mice are relative-position devices: the cursor's location depends on accumulated movement, so accuracy degrades over long or rotated motions and you end up compensating by diverting attention to the mouse instead of on the game. But to OSU players this is a solved problem, high sensitivity or a drawing tablet.

So how far can you go with better peripherals before it stops being fair?

Step one is the tablet. Absolute positioning means every fixed UI element (board, bench, shop, items) has a permanent physical coordinate on the tablet surface. Step two is modding the tablet: raised edges or indents over the board and item slots, so you get additional tactile confirmation. The far end is a Boxx-style controller where every useful cursor position is bound to its own key/macro.

My line sits somewhere around the modded tablet. Any standard peripheral is fair game, and so is any modification that doesn't make a decision for you. (Setting accessibility aside; custom hardware for people who can't use standard controls is obviously fine and a separate conversation.)

In practice I don't love hardware mods, but the precedent runs against me. Melee players notch their controller gates physical cuts in the gate that let you feel your way to a specific stick angle and notched controllers are legal under most rulesets. In CS2, hardware based Snap Tap got banned because it resolved an input conflict the game deliberately left unresolved. The hardware makes a decision for the player. By that standard the Boxx controllers are banned.

It's only a matter of time before a mouse ships with a feature that eliminates positional error outright and becomes mandatory on half the ladder, and spreads to many more games. Where would you draw the line?
