thank you for watching!

o yea thanks for the advice! ngl i know like almost nothing about audio and ihni how to actually balance stuff lmao

🥺 thank you

Wow thanks! I will say some parts of the guide including the google slides are a bit outdated due to updates and system changes (such as bag sizes). Most of the conceptual stuff should still hold tho.

ayoooo cb!! fortunately for you, mel should be able to fit well into almost any board, the hard part is gonna be finding her. have fun with tft man feel free to hmu whenever as well

My process for learning the meta generally involves looking at stats, patch notes, and watching streams. Aside from that, it's mostly a matter of putting in the reps to feel comfortable on a given meta line. Sometimes things just don't click for me tho, and depending on how I'm feeling I'll either keep forcing it until I figure it out or just give up. If I can find a guide on it, then I might watch some content to see what I'm doing wrong. Sometimes you'll see videos like "Top 5 comps to play on patch 14.23b" or whatever and if its from a player I recognize I'll usually watch it. Twitter is also actually a decent place for finding stuff about the meta or random tech but I stopped using Twitter a while ago, up to you if its worth using that shit website for that. I think once you get used to the process though, most metas will start to click after a day or two but some are also simpler than others. As for improving fundamentals, I watched a lot of analysis content on youtube and slowly picked up more and more stuff as I watched. My favorite channels for analytical content are Kai and Learning TFT. Admittedly, I didn't watch much in Set 12 cuz I was kinda getting tired of how bad the patches were (also Kai didn't upload lol). Watching streams also helped but you'll probably see bigger improvements in doing vod review, either your own or challenger vods. I'm just really bad at vod review tbh so I don't really do it but I think vod review is kinda op for improving so I should probably just force myself but oh well. As you pick up fundamentals, you'll start to create a lot of rules which is good but it's also important to understand the reasons for the rules and the limits of them. For example a lot of people starting out have a big realization of how important early game gold is but then they might take it too far and refuse to go below 50 gold even on one life. A bit of an extreme example but I've also seen people like that (not flaming them btw, everyone has to learn somehow).

sorry for wall of text lmao

@@fyzzl670 Thanks! This might also make for an interesting video. There is lots of content out there (Stats websites, streamers ect.), so it might be hard to get noticed when doing similar things. However I think nobody did a meta-analysis (in the sense of second level analysis) of how to learn with this stuff, so this could make for a unique video

@@abcdefgh5808 thanks for the suggestion!

sorry boss im ngl this might be the funniest shit ive ever read LMAO congrats on hitting challenger! youre better than me now lol hope my last vid helped you somehow unfortunately, i had/have other priorities and also wasn't enjoying tft as much for a while and kinda made this video on a whim. i have ideas on other videos but actually sitting down and making them is another question on top of juggling life stuff

oh yeah true I hadn't thought of that

@@baseballboytetris sup bbb my bb

sup fizzy my rizzy maybe you'll inspire me to try this game again :)

Thanks for watching! PBE stand for Public Beta Environment and its how Riot tests stuff before they go live. This can include previews on balance patches, reworks, or entire new sets when applicable. I probably should have explained the acronym in the video, sorry about that. Something to counter Kog'Maw would either need an incredibly strong magic damage tank or some form of backline access. This can be a champion that dashes to the back or a long-ranged ability that has a chance to target backline enemies. Not every champion with one of these features will be a carry though; it still depends on balance. As an extreme example, a champion that can dash directly to Kog'Maw that doesn't actually do damage to Kog'Maw isn't going to counter Kog'Maw. In your specific case, it sounds like the Kog'Maw had 2 radiant items and a Wit's End which is probably one of the strongest artifacts for Kog'Maw. Realistically, you probably couldn't have beaten them without a 3 star 4 or 5 cost or some other equally perfect setup. Sometimes people just get luckier than you, and getting 2nd place in TFT is still a good chunk of LP. In general, you want to keep your options open at the start of the game but you can start to lean towards certain comps depending on the items you get. For example, if I start the game with a sword, bow, and glove, I'm generally going to favor playing an AD comp, but It's possible I will play AP instead a small percent of the time depending on what units I find naturally in stage 1 and early stage 2. Hope this video and comment can help you out on your ranked journey!

Oh another counter I forgot to mention btw would be stuns. Kog'Maw relies on casting to ramp up his attack speed and range so if you can stun him, it can prevent him from snowballing out of control too quickly and might buy you enough time to get through the frontline.

@@saafa7221 thank you!

thx goat

Hi! I do still play TFT but I have been taking a bit of a "soft break" (idrk what to call it lol). My enjoyment of Set 12 has been fluctuating a lot so I only play a few games each week to avoid hard-grinding a game I'm not having fun with. For that reason, it's been hard to stream and I also don't feel comfortable making more videos when I haven't really been playing, even if I have ideas for topics.

@@fyzzl670 All good. I feel you. But I'm emerald, I know I won't get diamond this season so I trying to learn fundamentals so I can push next season. Watching grandmaster is too much to really understand. So when you're back I will watch you :), but for now take what you need and just HF.

@@michaelchivers3080 congrats on hitting emerald and good luck on your journey to diamond!

wow thank you! im sure this video was super helpful for a challenger player like you lmao

cool to hear! hope you're having fun with the game :)

I didn't want to recommend specific units to pick because not only does that vary from set to set, but even patch to patch. At the end of the video, I recommend resources like tactics.tools and tfthandbook that have lists of comps that are updated each patch. Since this video's creation, there is now also tftacademy.com created by Frodan and Dishsoap. If you want to follow a less rigid gameplan you can identify the important carries and tanks of a comp and fill out the traits as you see fit based on what you hit.

awesome to hear! good luck in your games :)

OkaygeBusiness

thank you :)

appreciate the kind words! i definitely see your point, and i do agree that in cases where you get a big spike, rolling to 50 gold is probably better. thanks for watching btw :)

Appreciate it!

thank you!

no thats u..

Thanks, nice username

what is crackalackin my goat

@@fyzzl670 nothin much just liking, commenting, and SMASHING that subscribe button to support the greatest creator on the site 😤

Oh for sure I agree! This is by no means a comprehensive list (I plan to make more when I have time in fact), but this was just to list (in my opinion) the ones that are both common and easy to fix. Things like scouting and greeding for bis does require further game knowledge, even if only a little bit. On the other hand, not rolling on stage 2 or not rolling down to exactly 50 gold is sort of just you know it or you don't. Because of that, it's also hard to find resources on those topics because no one would search for it (why search if you already know) and it probably feels too "obvious" for a dedicated resource which was part of my motivation in making this. The stuff you mentioned is definitely important too, and I've seen a lot of friends make them too, so I appreciate the feedback. Also, thank you for watching! Especially since it sounds like you really had no reason to LOL

I notice generally the top challenger flex players let their items dictate most of their decisions (what comp to play, whether to play for winstreak or losestreak, what augments and units to pick up). The game is heavily weighted on your items. You have a very limited selection of items compared to amount of units you see.

@@another7674 yup I'd agree. The components you get more or less determine what comps you can effectively play. This is probably a weird analogy, but it almost reminds me of mahjong (even though I hate mahjong and love TFT LOOOL). Your starting hand in mahjong already tells you what sets you are able to form, so trying to "force" a certain hand or comp will be less effective just by the nature of the odds. I have no idea if this analogy makes any sense to anyone that isn't me tho lmfao

@@fyzzl670 I get that the video isnt supposed to be every single thing ever, just wanted to leave a comment for ppl that might be looking for some more tipps. Also i might not need the guide myself but theres always the chance that you mention things that i didnt know yet especially since i really dont play a lot and the last/only time where i actually played ranked to actually rank up was back it set 6 so there probably some things that got changed that i might not know yet, and i just like to watch random videos that i get recommeded.

3 combat is bis 90% of the time tho

Thanks for watching! Hope it was helpful :)

it is a certified banger

aaaaaaaa thank you so much 😭😭im glad you found it helpful! hope you're having fun with the game :)

yeah, its a real shame for sure and thanks so much for the kind words it means a lot since this is the exact reason i made this guide! I'm actually currently in the middle of creating more guides for beginners that I plan to release at the beginning of Set 11 🤫🤫hope you enjoy TFT in the meantime!

I'm glad you found it helpful! There's definitely a lot of information needed to get into TFT but it's really fun once you get there :) don't give up!

thanks for the kind words! hope you find everything helpful and good luck :)

yo thats so cool thanks! never got into card games myself (tried hearthstone in middle school and got thrashed lol) but i've heard some concepts can be applied to tft so hope you enjoy :)

hope you've been enjoying the game! its a steep learning curve for sure

LOOOL

LOL yeah its definitely not something you wanna use too often but also definitely can hurt sometimes if you don't know about it

thank you for watching!

WOW thank you so much hope you enjoy set 10!
