The Game That No one Ever Talks About: Riot Games
TFT, better known as TeamFight Tactics, is one of the games that is hardly recognized in the gaming industry or talked about. It’s a strategic 8 player based game where tacticians fight other players using their own team comps. Although TFT is one of those games connected to the League of Legends, it's player base isn’t even half of the amount of players who log into their Riot Game account on a daily basis. More importantly, the game has different comps and you incorporate a type of synergy so your team gets power from it. Although it’s typically easy to remember the comps you create in a month or so, the game has different sets with new characters and augments which can prove to be difficult to new players. Personally, I found the game complicated when I first started and adjusted to it over time. The game is an experience to understand because it’s like a strategic chess match but with champions. In comparison to other games, TFT has a Mode known as Double up, which allows you to team up with one of your friends and annihilate other teams.
There are several strategies in TFT that allow you to rank up quicker. The first strategy is focusing on the economy. Every several rounds, instead of rolling for the units you need, go to 50 gold and slowly level up depending on the comp you’re building. For instance, if the comp involves a 3 star 3 cost, it’s better to level to 7 and slow roll down for the unit.
These are several meta synergies for the new set.
- I like to use Shurima Strategists because it’s a fast 8 comp that allows me to get my 4 star costs quicker than the rest of my competitors. Another popular comp is Ionia which is also fast 8, it revolves around building your items on Yasuo.
Much like chess, TFT is hard to grasp by just explaining; it’s simply easier to play the game. You’re only given 100 health and once you reach 0, it’s game over. This is much different from your classic game of chess because TFT is more strategy and luck based.
So, what is so fun about TFT?
