MetaTFT

Let's not forget the charming set mechanic - Wisps - which you can read up on alongside the new champs and traits here: metatft.com/new-set You can also start drafting comps with our team builder: metatft.com/team-builder

...And the remaining 1 & 2 costs. Set 18 should be playable on PBE Tuesday 28th July (estimated late afternoon PT if it follows previous sets), before going live on August 12th. (Although this could change with the new engine move)

TFT Set 18 - Enchanted Wilds - All New Champions! 🌿 Wave goodbye to the Space Gods and hello to a forest full of new champions - starting with the 4 & 5 costs, including Avatar Lux (who can arrive with any of 9 Origins) and The Elder Dragon, a 2-slot titan:

7) APAC’s AP Flex Actually it seems that AP flex in general is something APAC is drawn to as Nami + Karma flex is also another comp that APAC has twice the sample size of: APAC 10; Other Regions: ~5.

6) APAC’s Asol APAC was the ONLY regions to have NON-Carrier Asol in their top 10 most played comps. It was their 7th highest with 21 games played compared to the other regions who an averaged played 10 or so games of it. It didn’t do significantly better but it did pump out a lot of top 4s rather than have a high win rate which is something most of the top 10 played comps shared.

Set 17 Regionals FINALS - A Look At The Data: 1) A Balanced Tourney? Set 17 Regionals was played on what most players consider the most balanced patch of the set so far but do the numbers agree? On initial glance we see that variety was high with the top 6 comps (excluding Fast 9 Bard) all having a sample size within ~15 games of each other. Furthermore we see some comps below that can be somewhat conditional: Stargazer Lulu, Two Tanky Samira, Cho’Gath Reroll, and more.

5. Contact Killer Pyke • The ‘Contract Killer’ augment got a pretty significant buff, doing 15% more bonus damage to tanks along with the aforementioned removal of Gnar from the meta. • You can play the version seen below OR play reroll Akali duo carry along with Gragas and Mao’kai • The best Pyke Psionic items are Target-Lock Optics or Sympathetic Implant.

4. Melee Comps Thrive • Gnar’s dominance and AoE attacks countered melee comps pretty heavily who relied on same siding their carries to swing fights. • With Gnar out of the meta and an AD buff to Yi we see melee comps like Yi and Primordians rise to to the strongest A tier comps

NEW PATCH 17.6 | Meta Analysis The theme of this patch seems to be parity. You have S Tier comps like Gnar dropping and mid tier comps rising as well as AP comps becoming a lot more prominent with actual Lvl 8 AP options back on the menu. Here are the 5 most important notes in this patch you need to know: 1. 2-1 Augment/Emblem Meta • Most top tier comps are highly augment dependant and can’t be accessed otherwise: • Ex. Two Tanky Samira, Space Groove, Dark Star, Shepherd emblems, Contract Killer, etc… • Other comps can be played without emblems but get MUCH stronger with them. Ex. Bruiser, Marauder, Stargazer, Meeple/Rogue emblems, etc...

5) Replicator Miss Fortune Even though this comp has below average stats (Challenger MF is best) and a rather low play rate we still wanted to highlight this comp as it’s the first time Replicator MF has seen any relevance in the meta. You play 4 Replicator to maximize damage and the duo carry Lulu. Due to the nature of how Replicator works, 4 Replicator does not work unless you have 2-3 Replicator carries doing damage like in this setup. On the APAC server some players are using Sniper’s Focus or Sniper Emblems on MF to abuse the fact that her ability reaches all the way into the backline. It’s an interesting tactic to think about.

4) Challenger Jinx In the same vein another comp that benefits off Akali buffs is Jinx reroll. This comp has multiple carries depending on what you hit first so make sure you pick up a lot of item augments/space gods and plan around it. Your best carries will be Jinx + Akali but make sure you pick up tank items for Jax as well.

NEW B-Patch Rundown | Changes in the Meta 1) NEW 7 Meeple The Meeple trait got reworked at 5 and 7 breakpoints. With more strength at 7 players are finding it easier to play reroll comps like Gnar reroll as it’s easier to stay on 7 until you clone your 3* Gnar. The default Corki board still seems to be 5 Meeple + Riven, Galio but with the option to play 7 to go for a 3* Rammus/Corki a win-out will be more available.
