Omg this is such a good guide for anyone who is looking to get into tft for the first time. I remember struggling to understand the game during the gizmos and gadgets set and all the guides were barely helpful until I had to play 10-20 games myself to start understanding them.
After watching several "How to" and "Beginner Guides" for TFT, this is the first and only one that actually made the game feel approachable, even as a "seasoned" LoL player. I super appreciate the time and work you put into creating and sharing this. THANK YOU!
Another quick tip about scouting (which is more quality of life I think), on PC you can hit the numbers 1, 2, and 3 on your keyboard to cycle through the list of players and see their boards quickly. 1 is the previous player, 3 is the next player, 2 snaps back to you if I remember correctly
amazing guide for people trying to hop in the game despite it beeing 11 sets old, loved that you made increasing goals, that really helps to not get overwhelmed and see my own progression
AMAZING guide. thank you. I remember trying to flex every game when learning and i would always always get dizzy and overwhelmed. extsemely helpful advice. thank you for teaching me the joy of going 5th instead of 7th
i love how i didnt even know how good you was until you started the presentation, you seem like you geniunely want to spread joy about a game you love, i love it
Was really waiting for this type of instructive video. This format enables you to talk in a more focused way about the aspects of the game you think matter the most, in contrast to cuts from streams. I appreciate a lot you sharing your expertise, and would love to keep watching videos like this one as you keep learning on your journey through the game!
I started playing TFT this weekend just so I can keep watching your content and understand what is happening. I had no idea there were a finite number of champions, I just assumed you had a percent chance based off of how many other people have that champion. It also made me realize I only play AP comps and I should really learn AD. I got to gold over the weekend and hopefully with this video in mind I can go higher.
This was a really fantastic guide! I started playing league in beta, and when TFT first came out, was a little interested in it, but never really kept on it. Now, years later, I've decided to come back and try TFT again, but I'm just losing endlessly. When I watched your vid, I remembered several key strats that had just left my brain, and learned a ton more! Even better than that though, I REALLY appreciate how a high tier player can actually contextualize what it's like to be a noob when making recommendations and what to focus on. "You're not going to know this" "you're going to be tempted to do that." It's like you're in my brain lol. So being able to advise while *actually* being in the mindset of a new player is extremely helpful.
Really nice guide tbh, I feel like you explain stuff way more practically than other guides I’ve seen where they only explain basic concepts and that’s it. Also it would be nice to have a match or two where you make a more in depth explanation of what you’re doing or planning to do and why
I'm also one of the LoR refugees, thinking whether TFT might be a game for me. Great beginner's guide! One tricking a comp/putting selective blinders at the beginning of your learning journey was such a good suggestion. Trying to be as flex as possible when you're new is very overwhelming and made me to stop playing after couple of dizzy games.
Thank Jesus for Mr.Bae. He explains the complex for the simple. He puts in the work for the lazy. Sometimes he forgets to breathe, but that's only because he is monologing for us. 🙏
This was a very solid primer for first timers... when you think the time is right, I think another vid like this for intermediate players might be awesome. Thanks for all of your hard work and I hope you enjoy the climb in TFT 😁
I have been playing Ranked TFT for a couple weeks now and there was stuff in this guide that I didn’t know OwO Thank you for helping me out! This honestly makes things so much easier to digest!
Proper video! I am not a beginner, but was looking for something to invite a mate not familliar with TFT. This is gold for someone that has no clue what TFT is. Bravo 🎉
Great vid, been loving the TFT content as of late and this is 100% a step above. I second the idea of one tricking a comp as well, from not having played tft I was able to push Plat relatively quick only forcing country. In addition to learning your best units, when you don’t hit it can also teach you what other units might work. The game that got me into plat for example wasn’t full country but I somehow hit crowd diver 6, country 3 w/ Kat as my carry. It can really teach you how to think on your feet and not necessarily play every comp but more flexible ones.
Easily the best beginners guide. I wish this was out when I started learning TFT for the first time this past season. Everyone else’s guides felt like they assumed viewers had previous knowledge about the game to various degrees and the answer to get that if you don’t have it was “just play more”. Thanks for laying out a better path to building foundation for new players to follow!
TY kindly, Sir! Here's hoping that you upload more TFT videos. I used to enjoy your LoR videos quite a lot. You helpmed me get better at that game. I appreciate your work.
Fucking finally thank you so much majin for doing this you don't know how many times I've asked runetera content creators who have played TFT if they can do some kind of transition guide into TFT after the news dropped about the future of runterra. None of them did it. I'll be honest, I haven't watched your content before, but just for the fact that you made this, I'm going to subscribe now
I started playing TFT with remix Rumble, but for some weird reason I had no problem getting ok and/or good results without knowing half of the stuff you covered here lol (I think it's because it was easy to focus on some comps due to the headliners), but now Inkborn Fables was kicking my ass and after watching this, I suddenly went from 7th/8th place on normal lobbies to 1st/2nd!! This is such a easy to understand guide and you really covered some key points that actually work, thank you so much!!
Thanks for the guide! Picked up TFT after LoR died 😢. I soared all the way to plat and have been turbo losing since. This was helpful, hopefully it will help me start climbing again.
I always played tft more on the "casual" way i kinda knew about econ and slow roll and all that stuff but i wanted to take it more serious and rank up this season, so this helps me a lot, love ya majin, keep it up, you are one of my favorite content creators out there
Thank you and I love this video! So much TFT content goes over my head and speaks so incredibly fast. In card gamer terms it feels like I am still reading every card as it gets played, as opposed to being able to know cards by artwork alone. I would love to see you continue this series!
this video was awesome and informative; one thing i'd love to see is if you could highlight a game with some of the meta comps, and show us what decisions you're making to try to force those meta comps for new players
Great video! I am looking forward into getting into TFT with you. Can you go into detail about what slow rolling and hyper rolling is and all of the different terminology about strategies. That would be helpful to new players when trying to follow builds online and understand what you mean when you say those phrases.
Really appreciate the video. I have been checking out anything tft related recently as i just came back to tft. Platinum at the moment after just a few days but only ever peeked at plat in the past.
this was awesome coming from a magic player trying to pick up tft after so many of my mtg friends picked this up years ago lol really liked some of the analogies with other card games
Been watching you sporadically since you went to that GA event. Hope you still play sometimes! Just knowing you and from the title, I am sure this is exactly what I wanted as a tcg player who hasn't touched tft since season 1 or 2! Thank you bae!
Small but great guide! I like the order you set what to focuse on, or order to improve in an effective order. Ive played loads of card games, mobas, rts'es etc. Amd it took me, ie an unreasonable long time to realise how much worse an even three star grey unit can be over a 2 star blue unit or 1 star purple/epic orange/5cost can be. And i think ur guide brings up plenty of such examples, for beginers to analize aswell as a guide for us mid to average tier players to come back to, use, and check ourselves before we wreck ourselves d;-) ty
this was really helpful. as a beginner, l often get an early lead then lose 4+ games in a row and come 5th. this will help a lot especially about playing for 4th
Thank you for this video. I would love to see more learning TFT videos. I am trying to learn this game. I feel like I am still lost on who should be my Headliner and could use more help on items.
Great video, almost makes me want to go back and put time into TFT, if I only had the time haha. A lot of it reminds me of a really good video from jorbs called "How I Think About Strategy Games", worth a watch if you haven't seen it already.
Hey, I loved the video! Id recomend using the youtube chapters function so that If someone wants to know something specific, or wants to come back they can just go to the label they want without having to jump around the video.
the one thing no one covers in their guides is how to manage ur time during each phase, especially as a new player who has no concept of what each character can do, reading takes time, so if i spend all my time reading then thats probably gonna result in me being behind everyone thus losing my opportunity to build a good comp
This was a very helpful video! I think I also need one about basic tips and tricks. I just learned you can buy a 1 cost unit build an item on it and sell it for no loss so you have a completed item on your bench. I also didn't know shop odds change so I have no idea when to level when to stay and roll for 2 or 3 star. Seems like there is so much to learn! Edit. Also how Kayle randomly shows up in a certain build and the hexes that pop up with certain types.
This video was fantastic! Please do more of them. An analysis into items and stuff would be great ; as well as placement of units. Also what is AD vs AP? Is that another way of saying Ranged vs Melee?
Sets are every 4 months and basically the units, traits and augments change. Usually sets have a gimmick. This current sets gimmick is headliner where you can automatically get a 2 star unit and adds 2 instead of one to one of its traits
I didn’t see mention of headliners in the video so here are some tips for people who are interested! 1. Headliners count as 2 for their highlighted trait and get a bonus to one or sometimes two stats. Some also get an extra effect on their ultimate 2. If you don’t buy a headliner you won’t see that same champion as a headliner for 7 more shops 3. If you don’t have a headliner, a new one appears every shop. If you already have one, it’s only once every 4 shops 4. If two headliners have the same trait, (ie Olaf and tahm kench can both be bruisers) skipping them makes the trait not appear for 7 shops. If you want bruiser Olaf and you see a bruiser tahm Kench in your shop, buy it and resell it! That will work around it
Personally I enjoy Disco and Country, but I can vibe with pretty much anything now. The only comp I'm finding I don't like to play is Heartsteel because I can't handle the pivot after the big cashout, I get dizzy. Really enjoyed the guide! Could we maybe go more in depth on positioning for a future one? I'm apparently struggling with that quite a bit at the higher ranks and losing fights I should probably win if I managed to get a melee carry to wander to the back earlier rather than stop on less important units, for example. -Ya boi Leovold
I've been waiting for this video before watching your tft videos because they're completely incomprehensible without background knowledge and I'm excited to give tft another go. I tried playing tft once and did not have fun. the rounds are fast and the game is very bad at telling you stuff because it seems to use alot of the same iconography as league and assume you get the gist from that. but I've never played league. I've played hearthstones auto battler before, its a much simpler game but it uses the same mmr model. my philosophy was always that 4th was my wincondition, and above that was more of a for fun do the big cool thing bonus round.
I played TFT and dropped it after two weeks, It felt exhausting trying to learn everything at once {not that game's fault, it just pulls you in, like this FOMO effect.} I'mma try again with Majin's Expanding Circle of (self-paced)learning (approach).
28:00 are you explaining how to advance? You focus on your core, then you grow it, but then you lose and your core shrinks again, but it's denser now, and now you're Iron instead of Copper. Wait I meant Bronze not copper. Also I love this quote: 37:10 "You're not here to win. You're here to get better. Winning just happens when you're better" 39:13 OMG I DIDNT KNOW THAT ty
praying for your success my guy, keep up the good work
Same! LoR dying a sad death really put alot of it's content creators in a bind. Really hope they all find their footing again!!
Omg this is such a good guide for anyone who is looking to get into tft for the first time. I remember struggling to understand the game during the gizmos and gadgets set and all the guides were barely helpful until I had to play 10-20 games myself to start understanding them.

I’ve been playing from the beginning, but found myself on a huge lose streak. This was great! Thank you!
Best TFT guide, this actually wants me to start with TFT
Really appreciate the video. I have been checking out anything tft related recently as i just came back to tft. Platinum at the moment after just a few days but only ever peeked at plat in the past.
this was awesome coming from a magic player trying to pick up tft after so many of my mtg friends picked this up years ago lol really liked some of the analogies with other card games
This content is really good! Haven't played since S1 but because of you i'm considering giving it a try again.
Been watching you sporadically since you went to that GA event. Hope you still play sometimes! Just knowing you and from the title, I am sure this is exactly what I wanted as a tcg player who hasn't touched tft since season 1 or 2! Thank you bae!

OK you convinced me. I'll try this game once more. I really didn't like it when it first came out but I'm ready to give it another go thanks to you
this was really helpful. as a beginner, l often get an early lead then lose 4+ games in a row and come 5th. this will help a lot especially about playing for 4th
I am jumping on the TFT train for this new patch and this guide helps break it down!
Amazing guide, reinforced what I already know as a long time player
This is helpful. The thought process is easy to follow and inspiring
Great video! Hopped back in after playing a few games on release and this helped me get back on track and hit the ground running.
Great video! Love that you are a MTG player too, makes it easier to understand!
Bro this is EXACTLY what I needed. Bless you
It's incredibly on brand at 28:08 Majiin that describes his TFT knowledge in the same way as Cradle describes madra
Thank you for the guide i got to plat once but that was two years ago. This is great for returning, ill miss LOR a ton but this game is also great.
Thx so much! Gonna check out the next set
Really nice, loorking forward for the advanced guide.
excited for the next set and your content going forward!
Thank you for this video. I would love to see more learning TFT videos. I am trying to learn this game. I feel like I am still lost on who should be my Headliner and could use more help on items.
It is a tough game worth the time it is fun AF too thank you for the guide and please make more
Finally my kinda vid. I know nothing about TFT tried multiple times to get into it and never had any idea what I was doing so hopefully this helps.
Amazing content man! I'd love to see more guides like this
keep at it your educationnal content is always really insightful :)
OMG you made a beginner guide im so happy
Amazing content, i am going back to TFT now and this type video helps a lot. Keep then coming!!!
This is a guide for more than tft especially the focus on one thing part
Great video, almost makes me want to go back and put time into TFT, if I only had the time haha. A lot of it reminds me of a really good video from jorbs called "How I Think About Strategy Games", worth a watch if you haven't seen it already.
Hey, I loved the video! Id recomend using the youtube chapters function so that If someone wants to know something specific, or wants to come back they can just go to the label they want without having to jump around the video.
I’ve been looking for a video like this thank you
Dope guide. Would definitely be interested in what an advanced guide would look like from your perspective
I swear this is actually the best tft guide
Glad you made this, I'm gonna try tft after watching this
the one thing no one covers in their guides is how to manage ur time during each phase, especially as a new player who has no concept of what each character can do, reading takes time, so if i spend all my time reading then thats probably gonna result in me being behind everyone thus losing my opportunity to build a good comp
one of the best guides out there
Thank you for the guide, i'm gonna give TFT a chance!
(sick thumbnail btw)
This was a very helpful video! I think I also need one about basic tips and tricks. I just learned you can buy a 1 cost unit build an item on it and sell it for no loss so you have a completed item on your bench. I also didn't know shop odds change so I have no idea when to level when to stay and roll for 2 or 3 star. Seems like there is so much to learn!
Edit. Also how Kayle randomly shows up in a certain build and the hexes that pop up with certain types.
was looking forward to this
I hope you succeed!
This video was fantastic! Please do more of them. An analysis into items and stuff would be great ; as well as placement of units.
Also what is AD vs AP? Is that another way of saying Ranged vs Melee?
Really glad you made this video!
How often are sets and how do they work? What is special about headliner champs?
Sets are every 4 months and basically the units, traits and augments change. Usually sets have a gimmick. This current sets gimmick is headliner where you can automatically get a 2 star unit and adds 2 instead of one to one of its traits
@@MajiinBae thanks! The guide was great btw.
ITS THE TFT SLIDESHOW LETS GOOOO 🎉🎉🎉
my goat this was so needed
I didn’t see mention of headliners in the video so here are some tips for people who are interested!
1. Headliners count as 2 for their highlighted trait and get a bonus to one or sometimes two stats. Some also get an extra effect on their ultimate
2. If you don’t buy a headliner you won’t see that same champion as a headliner for 7 more shops

Love the content man it's very helpful! Just a question, what reward do you get from climbing higher on the tft rank ladder?
Can't wait to learn this game! Everyone else seem to explain how plumbus works
nice presentation, good pace, now I can nonsensically smack-talk some of my friends that actually play TFT :D
Personally I enjoy Disco and Country, but I can vibe with pretty much anything now. The only comp I'm finding I don't like to play is Heartsteel because I can't handle the pivot after the big cashout, I get dizzy.
Really enjoyed the guide! Could we maybe go more in depth on positioning for a future one?

Played my first game there because of you, my fiance got really confused when I screamed stop dying coward at my phone.
Great guide!
I've been waiting for this video before watching your tft videos because they're completely incomprehensible without background knowledge and I'm excited to give tft another go.
I tried playing tft once and did not have fun. the rounds are fast and the game is very bad at telling you stuff because it seems to use alot of the same iconography as league and assume you get the gist from that. but I've never played league.
I've played hearthstones auto battler before, its a much simpler game but it uses the same mmr model. my philosophy was always that 4th was my wincondition, and above that was more of a for fun do the big cool thing bonus round.
This is exactly what I wanted ty man
the video i was waiting for!
Honestly my best advice is just find a niche but strong comp and focus on that, won’t make you challenger but high plat-diamond
Very good video majin appreciate the video
not related to tft do u have a decklist for cc kano ty keep it up man😊
Came for the Guide, stayed for the Dog
I played TFT and dropped it after two weeks, It felt exhausting trying to learn everything at once {not that game's fault, it just pulls you in, like this FOMO effect.} I'mma try again with Majin's Expanding Circle of (self-paced)learning (approach).
28:00 are you explaining how to advance? You focus on your core, then you grow it, but then you lose and your core shrinks again, but it's denser now, and now you're Iron instead of Copper. Wait I meant Bronze not copper.
Also I love this quote: 37:10 "You're not here to win. You're here to get better. Winning just happens when you're better"
39:13 OMG I DIDNT KNOW THAT ty
This goes deep....yesfolks,balls deep...😮😂
I suck at TFT, glad I can play through you (if you win I win, if you lose I don't lose)
ITS HERE!
Ok we Learning!
Very helpful thank you 🙏
I didn’t realize I had items lol thanks!
Thanks a lot man!
