Im really excited to see how sub approaches this set. As a very analytical player, I think the release from augment stats could really cause him grow into his own. I hope you do some vod reviews of your own games!

just FYI guys 2 unique family units have to survive

18:20 Amoogus

Jg ie galio was when I got into tft. I have such great memories of fielding that champ and watching him clap🥹

That is an insane youtube title without context

im so hyped they have decided to add units later in the set, itll keep the variety fresh near the middle of the set

this is peak content, thanks for showing off this game

Forcing JG IE Neeko 3 in woodland reroll was what got me into tft 😂

2:51 let me take a woohoohohooo

14:36 that's me hahahahaha deleted my Jayce 2 and went giga 8th can't say I didn't learn something tho!

that is not the world champ

Jinx is out of place in TFT???? Wdym? Are you high?

What if you take power up and everybody gets next augment prismatic?

Mate title is the world champ. Love u tho

first

People, you are plat, dia at BEST, you do no need to do this "homework" and "study" the game, if you do and still is diamond, just play for fun lol

Try kog'maw with one thousand cut + 6 watchers

Backline gp is very similar to set 1 gp, very cool ability

*raises hand*

i don't like this change at all. The way i see it is regardless if stats are in the game or not You still should think about picking augments and make decisions dependant on your current situation. Data is just protection against poor game balance, because it let's you see that sometimes augment matching your strategy is still bad because numbers just arent't tune up right. Arguably there is more homework now because if you treat game seriously (grandmaster+ lvl) You still need to look for information , (watching tournaments,streamers) but these informations won't be accessible for everyone so this change promotes players spending time in their inner circles more than semi-casuals. good example is how support golem 1 and 2 was broken and overtuned for most of last set. If stats wasn't in game it doesn't fix anything, its just elitist change, because people watching tournaments and their favourite streamers would notice how they prioritize taking this augments above any other combat augments , not because it fits, just because its overtuned, and there are always op augments and rly bad ones, regardless how they fit team comp, i believe information is good because more ppl abuse something , then faster it will be fixed.

Form swapper augment is kinda nutty too

I thought he probably went tomb raider because of item collector

been playing league since the literal beta so i think that definitively makes me a pre JG/IE player. Pretty sure the first time I saw JG i thought it was a fake item lol

BB + IE + JG the classic caster build

Finally.. it was such a bad thing that no one was using his brain and "look at the stats, what's the best pick it". I think game would be more fun without stats. I mean for the new players, comps are okay to look at it, but augment stats or win chance to round, bla bla.. it's to much. I don't object to commentators looking at it. Because it's don't effect the game directly like "stats says this one is best let's see what he gonna pick" it is okay. But seing the stats while playing the game not good. That's how i think.

How do u play this comp at lvl 7 if you don’t have black rose emblem?

Gankplank 2 is bonkers each game

Back to checking vids / tierlists by high lvl ppl instead of a quick tactic tool check..''Homework'' just becomes harder for everyone..

Augment stats were pretty useless imo. They're way too situational and especially when its at 2+.

Again really... this promotes high playtime even more. The thing with stats is the way you read them, sure if an augment is giga broken it will show, but there is and was a lot of top tier hidded augments that didin't show in the stats that you had to know.

TFT is mostly luck, not skill, so no, lil pup is not the Faker of TFT 🤣🤣🤣

I've never used stats. I'm a very playing what feels right sort of guy. Obviously I'll look at good players and learn meta lines but I find myself in a unique position of this not impacting me all that much. Welcome to my world.

remember the first time they tried this people saying this will finally make the game fun again people will experiment more we'll get more diversity yeah that clearly happened, and will clearly happen again

This change is an admission that riot es either unable or unwilling to balance augments So their fix to some augments being picked more often because of their higher win rate is not telling you the win rate anymore

I’ll agree with this change when they stop having dog shit augments thats D tier that can lose me a game because i didn’t have the warning against it

I will be ignoring the details of every single augment and sheeping tierlists out of protest. Set 9 was my GOAT and they bricked it for months with this stat paranoia..

great change, there will be discussion in the community of what augments are strong, instead of just saying, this one has better stats, end of discussion. Players will have to actually use more brain cells and have their own opinion about augments. The tier list won't be all the same, some KZbinrs and pros will agree on certain aspects but differ on others, resulting in greater variation and a richer dialogue around strategies

THIS IS BASED

On the do your homework point. Taking stats away doesnt take away the homework away. It just makes it more time intensifive and more niche. If Augments balancing was better then yes we don't need stats. But Augments with a 3.85 is not acceptable.

So instead of doing their job of balancing the game they just put the blame on the players and ban stats 😅. Not having stats just bait you into playing something that doesn’t work out most of the time and that is much more frustrating than seeing everyone play the same thing. And there is so much more nuance than just picking the best statistic in order to win a game of tft so I can only see this as the dev team being lazy and just dumping the problem on the players instead of fixing it

You gotta do your HW in ANY GAME if you want to be competitive.

Love the discussion vids Subzeroark! I'm a player who plays TFT pretty much every other set, normally ending in Master/Diamond if I don't play much. I feel like these kind of changes affect people like me the most. I want to play my best, but play less than 200 games a set. I don't have time to watch hours and hours of streams to identify what augments are best, and I don't have prior knowledge between sets about which augments are "standard good". A stats website helped me get a baseline, like you said, of what augments were good in which comps, but were never the be all end all for me, if something felt like it fit better I'd take it over something that had a higher rating. Also, once I'd played 100 games or so I used the stats websites much less as I had the knowledge already about strong augments. Its really gunna hurt new players who pick augments that sound good, but are actually 5.0 and then don't understand why they lose so much. Any new player who wants to be competitive is going to have a much harder time because of this, and the 1k games players who share information between each other are gunna be just the same as usual. I understand the sentiment, but it feels like a negative for the wider playerbase who want to improve and become the best they can be,

I think this is extremely bad for new people, can't study groups and higher level players just share knowledge with each other, while people not in those circles just have to grasp at straws or try and figure out patches on their own?

this is a terrible change for people who play casually like 1-2 hrs a day but are competitive. I hit masters this season doing just that and i needed stats inorder to determine which augments are actually good. They are not the be-all-end-all to remove any sort of skillful piloting. I understand Mort's points but the solution is excessive. Players who just pick the best augment without considering if their situation calls for it are not going to have an unfair advantage to people who actually know their stuff. The only people who like this change are people who already play like 6-10 hrs a day.

The reason they are doing it is to hide their incompetence in balancing certain augments. This will change nothing to be honest, now augments will just be ranked S tier to F tier

👎👎👎👎👎

As I don't use them, this will be great for me!

There's only 2 reasons I don't like this change and the first is balance. I trust the tft team but when they take away stats we will not know how broken or bad augments are and so we will not be able to hold them accountable for it. The other reason is that it introduces a kind of gatekeeping where high elo players that have connections with each other will share the information on what is broken giving them an advantage over players who don't have such connections, compared to everyone having the stats and being able to see them.

Its a great change. Many players got lazy and gamę based on tactical thinking and innovation changed into copy pasta play.

I was never a fan of looking up augment stats, I feel like it is just unfair, I would rather just pick whatever seems nice and then think about it after the game.
