Post from Bryce Blum about transparency in his new role as the Global Head of TFT Esports #TFT

Let's talk about transparency in my new role as the Global Head of TFT Esports. As I'm sure some of you have noticed, I'm aiming for a MUCH higher level of transparency than what people might expect from this type of role in esports or the corporate world more generally (examples in images).

I'm doing this because I think having open lines of communication is pivotal to making TFT esports as successful as it can be. I want to hear from you, and I want you to hear from me. Even if you don't agree with our decisions, I want you have context on why we're making them and the opportunity to engage directly with that rationale so we can continue to iterate and make the product something that engages and excites stakeholders (pros, streamers, fans, etc.) from around the world.

With that said, you are not entitled to my time/attention and the way you come at me will have a profound impact on whether/how I respond to you. Disagreeing with something we do is fine. I love to hear from people who disagree with me. But if your message feels like a flamethrower, if you're making bad faith arguments, if you're being an asshole, if you're being unreasonable, I'm just going to ignore/block you and move on with my life.

Ultimately, that means you get to decide if you want to play a role in building this esport we all love into something better. Food for thought.

(1/3) 🧵 S Tier Recommend——Solar Karma(Used to be Yunara) by DataTFT #TFT #S18

DataTFT S Tier Recommend——Solar Karma(Used to be Yunara)

-After three days of high-level testing on the CN Super Server, we believe Solar Karma has fully reached S-tier strength.
-With 7 Riftbeast in the meta, Karma is much easier to 3★.
-Hitting 3★ Karma + multiple items early can already create a strong winstreak in Stage 3.
-After reaching Level 6, keep rolling and use Blossom Wisp to reach five 3★ units, while still keeping enough economy to go Level 7 at any time.
-Component usage is very balanced, so your 2nd and 3rd augments can comfortably be item-focused.
-Feed either Yunara /Leblanc as 2nd carry in Stage 4. 3 Carry can help you win the game with top 3 secure.

Wisp tailoring post by Tim/Truexy #TFT #S18

tl;Dr Starting 18.5 it will be harder to tailor for wisps, plus Abandon Ship/Beggar's Wisp will be nerfed

Hey everyone, going to talk about Wisp Tailoring, that's become a lot more prevalent in 18.4.

TLDR: In 18.5, we'll be adjusting some filtering to be less abusable so that Wisp tailoring will be less consistent. Abandon Ship and Beggar's Wisp will also getting nerfed.

Wisp filtering was always meant to be a background tool to help ensure that the available pool of Wisps was reasonable to the player. It was obviously never meant to be abusable to consistently find 1-2 Wisps a turn. This is a case where the lack of variety, and aggressive filtering actually bites us. It's not that the majority of Wisps are "weak", their completely reasonable to take in normal situations, it's that consistency is king (and Abandon Ship/Beggar's Wisp are overtuned).

Showing mastery and knowledge of the game should be rewarded, but there's extremes where it becomes unfun and cumbersome. At the end of the day, we want skill expression to be enjoyable, accessible, and to match what TFT promises as a strategy game. A fair example is buying champions to hold on your rolldown, where it definitely helps if you want to min/max, but it's not going to make/break your game. Knowing how to force Salvager or tailor out every wisp for Beggar's Wisp have a much larger impact, that makes toggling/rapid APM feel like a necessity to compete rather than a luxury.

There will be more info in the 18.5 Patch Rundown and Patch Notes. Thanks!
