(1/9) Why is Demacia everywhere in competitive TFT 16.6 patch? I summarize: • 624 Regionals Week 2 Day 1 games across 4 regions • Combined with tftable.cc ranked dataset Demacia is not the strongest single comp. But it might be the most solid, flexible comp in the 16.6 meta.

As a father, I am bound by my word and my honor @KevinWeng3149, please accept my humble apology and show mercy on me @wigwugg @BrosephTft @CLE_TFT I hope you're all happy now

@Gangly_ kaiweng apology form RIGHT NOW

2-6 AURA FARMING not solo levelling (the guy also hit garen 2 4-2 no econ)

The glaze didn't work, got 3 of the most unplayable games I have ever seen to round out the day💀 3x pris 10 noxus 3x pris 10 ionia Earlier augs -> 2-6 solo levelling and two 500+ ixtal cashes, i fight these 3 players 4x in 6 rounds from 4-2 to 5-2. Tier1 = Tier1, good set :D

However w2 regionals goes today thanks @Mortdog @restoftftteam for making the greatest set + patch of all time you are all incredibly and if I am going to ragepost when the state of game is bad, I must also lovepost when it's in the best state of all time. Thank you all.

@Mortdog Classic sneaky heal tank who is condemned to dying in 1 cycle or healing to full 53 times while dealing top damage :(((

We did it! It took 6 patches, but people are asking for Darius nerfs! Woot woot!

@bossoskills1 Gangly's opinions must be respected.

@wigwugg U made the list bro

Tierlist from podcast IMO crazycat and konda are underdog contenders who could sneak final lobby. Also kaiweng D LMAOOO.

@JustRemikun @FelixM_TFT @bruhbruhbruhwho @CompeteTFT @DiscoTFT Pretty sure they're about me, I truly don't really mind what ppl have to say, hopefully you can achieve same fortitude boss :( Appreciate you.

@wasianiverson @TFT_Academy Waiting on the 4v4 announcement 🫡

"Money makes money" is one of the biggest lies in TFT. Sitting at 50g feels safe. But weak early boards trap you in a poverty loop: • No streak gold • No HP preservation • Forced to roll with nothing Board strength makes you rich. Not interest. Full breakdown 👇

@Mortdog Darius level 5 thank you mort 🤝

Hey folks. Normally we wouldn't post in progress patch notes, but I know a lot of competitive folks are looking to practice PBE this weekend to get ready for Regionals. So in order to make sure everyone has the info, I'll be posting updates to the patch notes as they progress. Below are the notes that will be in todays PBE deploy and for the weekend, so if you practice, this is what you can expect. PLEASE NOTE - These are not remotely final notes for 16.6. They don't contain much response to 16.5, and haven't been fully simmed or anything. It's very likely we see more changes early next week. Again, this is so people practicing know what they are practicing on. If you have any questions or feedback after playing, please don't hesitate to hit us up. Thanks all :)

@Mortdog I understand the intention to balance around PBE scrim data but this is almost a midset, a few days of PBE scrims will not even begin to solve it. Surely it is not possible to accurately discern how much to nerf yone/shadow isles/veigar from so few games. :(

Follow up from yesterdays post about unlocks changing in 16.6. The first batch of changes will be heading to PBE either later today or tomorrow, but wanted to give everyone the first glimpse of what we are changing. Attached is the full list of every planned unlock change. If it's not listed, assume it is not changing. Next, let's talk about follow up changes. We know we can't just make these changes and call it a day, and they will have impacting effects on balance. The balance changes won't be on PBE quite yet (team is working on it), but some stuff you can expect include: -Shadow Isles scaling adjusted so the champs are better base units and not as reliant on souls -Ixtal nerfs to compensate for easier access to their 4 costs -Veigar and 8 Yordle nerfs -Prismatic quest augments reworked or disabled -General balance for all the champs based on their accessibility -and more! I'll also note that these are NOT final. One of the reasons we're getting them to PBE ASAP is to be able to have time to respond to feedback. If folks end up with some strong negative feels after trying them out, we'll be sure to adjust before our patch locks. If you end up playing these on PBE, give us feedback. We'll be paying pretty close attention to things like scrims. And all the changes will be LOCKED by next Wednesday so if you are looking for stable practice, after that day will be the best. Ok, have a great day and take it easy :)

@Hc_Kryztov @Mortdog Darius is currently gated behind winning with a draven opener, which requires a decent noxus board to do. Darius becoming a free unlock + being significantly buffed (again) will make the draven+darius opener pretty far over the line I suspect.

@wigwugg @Mortdog Darius??? But yeah I could see veigar getting out of hand with a change like this.

Hey everyone. I wanted to take a moment to talk about some larger changes to the unlock mechanic coming in Patch 16.6 (the one in 2 weeks), and what you can expect from that patch. So as we've seen Lore & Legends develop and has been in players hands for a few months, we've learned a lot about what has worked and has been less successful with the unlock system, which was one of our bigger swings for TFT in a while. The thing to talk about today has been the accessibility of divergent paths, and how the more restrictive unlocks hamper the ability to make adjustments as the game goes on. We've made a few minor adjustments each patch here (things like making Kennen or Kaisa easier to access) and all of these have been successful in opening up new strategies. So in Patch 16.6, we're going to take this to kind of it's maximum, and ease up on pretty much every unlock condition. The goal of these changes is that there is still a minor "hoop" to jump through to unlock champs, but that it's the easiest possible version of it so that if you want to pursue those lines, you have complete agency to do so. Here are some examples of changes you can expect. -Darius: Have Draven Drop 1 Gold >>> 1 item equipped to a Draven -Nidalee: 2x Two star Neeko >>> Two star Neeko with 3 items and Level 7 -Rift Herald: Void for 8 combats >>> Void for 2 combats and Level 7 -Veigar: Unit with 2x Deathcap >>> Yordle with 1x Deathcap We believe these changes will breathe even more life into the set with 100 champions, and open up more ways to play then before. We also believe it will lead to some valuable insights on the unlock system as a whole. This change comes at an exciting time in the competitive calendar, with Regional Finals and the Tactician's Crown right around the corner. We expect this will require players to explore new builds and open up lines, as they head towards the end of the set. We hope it will be exciting for players, viewers! One final challenge for the competitive scene in Lore & Legends. We're aiming to get these changes onto PBE as soon as possible. I'll post again once they are on PBE so competitive folks can practice as early as possible, as well as give us any feedback around any glaring issues they see (hopefully none, but better safe than sorry!) Again, we do believe this will make an already fun set even more interesting...but let us know once you get your hands on it. Thanks everyone, and I look forward to seeing how everyone enjoys!
