7:00 Radiant steadfast heart is not that good no? its only a +1% and +3% increase. Its a waste of value compared to others.

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

After some testing I believe damage radiants are much better however, since stats are multiplicative, the extra % increases are actually quite effective when paired with other items. This being said I’d still much prefer a radiant GS/IE than radiant steadfast heart. Good point!

[@sanake2636]

very good video and content which helps me learn the meta faster without testing it myself. i think one key thing to note for newer players is although steadfast heart is S tier you have to be careful of slamming it if your carry needs a IE or JG as not having that crit item on your carry is super detrimental

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

Thanks for sharing! Glove is definitely a great component this patch and has many uses

[@MinhNguyen-rc8ws]

Thank you for this video, very informative

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ChefTayzer]

Fantastic breakdown! Great work!

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

Much appreciated!

[@mi_v_ny]

If i have the crit augment, do i still need to have a ie/jg? The same if i already have the burn wound augment do i still create rb? Or is it better to avoid those 2 augment?

[@hueyyang10]

Always go crit augment for ap carries. If you build ie jg it just increases the crit damage so no real loss but not the most item optimization. Same with red buff but the damage increase is still worth even with burn augment. Hope that helps.

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

For crit it is definitely still good to build an IE/JG to make use of the extra crit damage. However red buff + blistering is not a good combination as there is no benefit of stacking burn/wound. Red buff is still a good item however and should be built if you have no better alternatives in this situation

[@petrsaksa8669]

I think that problem with Shojin on Caitlyn is a long dead-time between starting casting and releasing the skill. Because even when you cast more often, there is also bigger time gap when she does nothing but releasing. And because of shojin, her ultimate won't even hit hard. Same with a rageblade. It makes sense to build her up with items consisting of at least 1-2 bows (for example Red Buff, LW + GS, ) and the rest made of swords and gloves (DB, IE, GS, maybe Guard Breaker or Gunblade are viable too). That way she casts little bit less, but harder. Also you minimize that time gap upon casting and maximize her autoattack dmg as well.

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

Agreed! It’s better to cast less but hit hard and secure one shots than multiple casts that do less damage. Also it reduces the chance of the enemy targets healing back up between cait casts

[@CandyBar71]

how abt artifact and support items? which champ to use that item

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

Perhaps this will be addressed in a future video! This topic has been done before on this channel but on previous sets so an up to date version of this topic could be very beneficial

[@CandyBar71]

thanks, looking forward to it!@@fitgmrtraininggrounds

[@JJJJ-ok9ge]

Didn’t they nerf country to no longer grant omnivamp? I think only gives AS now

[@nomad182]

Country 5 omnivamp went from 20% to 15 on 13.24. no change since.

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

Still gives both! 3 country is attack speed and 5 country is both! The numbers have been slightly nerfed from previous patch

[@JJJJ-ok9ge]

@@fitgmrtraininggrounds my bad I was looking at 3 country!! Thanks

[@opensocietyenjoyer]

didn't you forget protector's vow (chain + tear) in the list?

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

Good catch! Vow is a good item later into the game on units that make use of the starting mana and need help casting rather than surviving for long durations of the fight (vow on thresh is good, vow on amumu or blitz is less good)

[@nicolaideluca7707]

Nice video! What about adaptive helm and Protectors Vow in the tier list ?

[@liamoxd9416]

In my opinion Adaptive helm is pretty weak, it gives less ap than crown and less resistances than Gargoyle so it's always pretty awkward (And it costs a tear which is the second best component). It's okay on high mana carries like Sona or Karthus IF they are secondary carries. It's just a worse Shoujin then. Vow on the other hand has usefullness on tanks that heal. It gives a sheild which gives them time to heal back up kinda like how Sterak's is good on Urgot. But Vow does also cost a tear so I'd avoid it but it's a good slam if you have to. These are jsut my opinion's and I do not have a fully understanding of the itemization (Which is why I'm here) but I think I have a pretty good idea. Hope this helps!

[@Ruam1_]

He mentions Adaptative Helmet around 10/11 minutes into the video

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

VOW is a good mid-late game item on frontline units that sometime require some help to cast (Thresh, Yorick). Low priority on Vow early. Helm is suitable on back line units as a budget mana item but has low priority compared to blue buff and even shojin.

[@kietpham1985]

Can you do a video on BIS items on other carries ( Lux, Vex, Viego, Karthus, TF, Kayn, ... ) and maybe BIS items on tanks from different traits ( Guardian, Sentinel, Bruiser )

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

Great suggestion! Perhaps in a future video this topic can be addressed :)

[@jeremyrusli2430]

How come runaan's is in S tier, the stats for the item seem really bad ngtl. Also, i think shojin should be in S tier, as well as BT and HAJ

[@beebo.666]

it got buffed

[@LyricalLuscinia]

Nope that is accurate this patch

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

Runaans is a very good tempo item early, great on AD carry’s which are dominating in this meta and helps you finish a cloak component. Shojin is a worse version of blue buff and is only better on units with high mana, however units such as Ezreal and Ahri are really strong right now and use bluebuff as their mana item

[@reggiecarterr]

trying to get back to diamond after a break of a year because of studying abroad. I got the meta all fucked up. thanks bud

[@liamoxd9416]

Good thing TFT has sets so no one knows the meta, ever...

[@brando9106]

@@liamoxd9416lol what… you want to play the same comps every year all year?

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

Glad we could help!

[@TheJuicyTangerine]

what I get from this is that Rod is significantly worse than all other components in the game, and bow is the best component to grab. This also shows that having too many defensive components really blows because the best defensive items only use 1 (other than warmogs). Hope the balance teams makes this more even, buff rod items, and make defensive items overall better.

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

Yes currently rod is not a great item in the meta along with cloak, they’re mainly components that need to be “killed/finished” by combining with another good component, instead of being a good component themselves. For example finishing a rod with chain or finishing a cloak with belt.

[@TheJuicyTangerine]

@@fitgmrtraininggrounds How I see it is that sword is crucial in some AP comps, but Rod is pretty much useless in all AD comps out of maybe rageblade (which is just ok in this patch) and making a tank item with chain. All other rod items are only good in magic damage comps, namely rabudons, morello, spark, archangels. I would want to see them rework rod+belt and rod+rod to be more interesting items. There is no reason to build morello when red buff is better in every situation

[@chungkhang3444]

May the algorithm please you

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

🙏🏻

[@MyNdFrEaK420]

Algo PUMP

[@liamoxd9416]

IMO resistance items (Gargoyle, Bramble, Dargon' claw, Steadfast) are S tier on "Bruisers" and HP (Warmogs, Hullcrusher, Redemption) items are S tier on "Sentinels"

[@Dark_Tesla]

I also think guardians are best for supporting frontline Carries and sentinel is good in general but particularly good against dps that target backline by way of the resistances they grant.

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

You are right! Getting into specific detail resistance is much better on health based units and health on resistance based units. Damage reduction is great across the board except for units that already have DR which would want HP or resistances instead (Pantheon)

[@PhantomxDrive]

Wanted to watch the full video, but couldn’t get past 5 minutes because the clacking from your keyboard while recording this was so annoying

[@DSIMPEL777]

Warmogs is not s tier no base hp bonus besides 2belt and 8 percent ho bonus is not a lot. Only translates to a decent amount of HP on bruisers who already have bonus HP buffs making this item imo not good

[@DSIMPEL777]

Nother comment let's compare 8 percent of ho bonus on a 2k hp is 160 ho bonus where as a sunfire is giving 250 HP bonus plus burn and wounds

[@petrsaksa8669]

@@DSIMPEL777 But Warmogs also gives +600 flat hp. Meaning a hero with 2000 hp will have (2000+600)*1,08 hp, that's 2808 hp. Now imagine warmogs, CG and Heart. A hero with those 3 items and basic hp 2000 will have 2000 +600 (Warmogs) + 250 (Heart) + 100 (CG) hp + 8% from the warmog's passive. That's 3186 hp. With Crownguard, the hero will also get 30% max hp shield, which is 955. Here you have 4141 dmg tank who on top of that has 15% damage reduction for the first 2070 dmg he obtains and 8% for the rest.

[@fitgmrtraininggrounds]

Warmogs is still a great item especially early game or when paired with other items. The increase in HP helps tanks stay above that 50% hp threshold from steadfast heart and this pairing is extremely common.
