Patch Insights
- NewRecently UpdatedThis B-Patch made one drastic change to the meta: Every comp is highly conditional. Most base comps are B-tier now instead of A-tier. Viktor still A-tier, but only with Drone.
- NewRecently UpdatedGraves / Vex Fast 9 = Tempo + Econ. Meeple Corki = Meeple Emblem or high tempo Meeple opener. N.O.V.A. = Emblem or strong opener. Primordian Reroll = 3 Primordian Early + Bel'Veth copies. Vanguard LeBlanc = Good Arbiter + Rageblade. Viktor = Drone ideally. Implant or Bioguard acceptable. Must be uncontested. Mecha = Radiant, Anima. Space Groove = Emblem. Anima Viktor = Anima + Drone + Uncontested. TF = Good Stargazer, Combat or Reroll augment, Early copies. Xayah = Boar, Serpent, Altar
- NewRecently UpdatedThis means you need to ideally check Arbiter, Stargazer, and Psionic item each game. Heavily prioritize emblem augments as they give direction. Tempo + Econ = Fast 9 or 3-Cost Reroll depending on how rich you are and what's contested (Fast 9 more expensive).
Meta
At first I didn’t like the new layout but now that I’m used to it, it’s definitely easier to digest at a glance. Love it!
I’ve used this site for 3 years and this ui change is genuinely terrible. Pls revert or give people an option to revert
Unfortunately there won’t be an option to revert. The old layout attempted to provide some information about when you would play a line which this layout doesn’t even attempt to provide. They aren’t even comparisons other than the fact they highlight the key comps in the meta so I guess I can see why you think it’s genuinely terrible if you are expecting the same info on this page as was on the old one.
There will be a page that is designed for covering when to play a comp (what openers you want, what opening items, conditional traits, etc.), but it will take some time to design and add to the website. Until then, you’ll have to visit the comp pages themselves to understand line selection. Appreciate the patience.
One piece of feedback I have is that I feel like the spirit of the site is changing away from the original intention. It feels like this is turning more into a cheatsheet comp guide like TFTAcademy or MetaTFT, rather than a flow chart than originally imagined. I prefer this site because I use it to determine direction and outs based on my current board or options.
Yeah, I get that. The #1 goal of the website has not changed though: Make line selection as easy as possible. Most of the feedback I’m receiving right now is about the fact this home page doesn’t assist in parts of line selection that were covered by the old home page which I already know.
Since the very beginning of this website, one of TFT Flow’s biggest issues has been that it did not have a single place on the website where you could see the entire meta read in a single viewport. You had to scroll for 10 million years or open 30 different comp pages to get a complete overview of TFT Flow’s meta read. This page fixes that year+ long problem. The tradeoff is it has to limit how much info is presented here.
The next step is adding a page completely 100% dedicated to understanding the conditions for when to play a comp, in addition to adding a “When to Play” section to the comp pages most likely. It’s just requiring a lot of planning (read: sleeping on ideas) to figure out how I want to achieve: 1) Minimizing my long-term workload; 2) Visualizing the 6 factors that play into line selection. The old home page typically only visualized 2 factors: The opener and items for a line. It rarely showed important 2-1 augments, never showed conditional traits (like Ionia last set or Stargazer this set), or encounters, or in this set Gods.
It’s just going to take time for me to find a solution I like. I’m also burnt out right now and working a bit slower than I was up until this set launch. I need a mental break so I’m taking one now instead of plowing through building a solution. But I haven’t lost, at any point, sight of what TFT Flow is. It’s a website designed to help you pick comps. That’s its #1 goal by far. Of course, it has other goals, like showing you how to play those comps after you pick them and a lot of time is dedicated to that too. But the “flow” part of TFT flow is figuring out what comps can be played from X conditions. That hasn’t been lost and it will never be lost, even if a literal flowchart is not the best way to visualize it.
So, I’m confused. The Meta Comps tooltip says something about ‘default comps.’ Where are these comps, or are there none this patch?
I’m kind of lost in some games when I don’t have a good Arbiter, Psionic, or Stargazer. I just default to LeBlanc when Ap and go bot4 with ad 😀
There are none this patch. It’s one of the issues with the patch.
Bronze For Life
I know I keep getting feedback from people who preferred the old home page (this is normal), so going to repeat myself again: There will be an early game page. I will be doing something about early game. I don’t know what yet though, and I’m taking a small break from developing after a month straight of crunch time to focus on learning the Set and taking a bigger look at where TFT Flow is and where it needs to go. The website is not finished. I don’t mind the feedback, but just want to be clear that the website is still in the middle of a “phase” of changes.
do not forget we love you Blue
Thank you for your hard work, very appreciated! Love the early game page idea!
I miss the flow section with early units => Into comp suggestions ;( Would be nice if you brought it back
This is still a thing just click “flowcharts” at the top and then scroll down
Would it be possible to add the ideal space gods and their boons to the guides and comps?
That would be helpful even a little section with gods and best type of comp toplay with
It should be a little self-explanatory since each god still falls under the Econ , Items, or Combat categorie. Just choose what helps your line
What do you think about the veigar rerol? I find it quite safe for a top 4
I think something like a general strat flowchart for beginners or people who are trying to learn the set would be really helpful. I would be on it every time I play personally lol.
Can you keep the AP vs. AD comp sections? That was helpful at a glance or maybe an opener section
The “Meta” cards have an indicator for whether they are AD or AP still. For the Other section, it separates the AD into a group first and then AP into a group.
still prefer the AD vs AP as it is more in line with the name of the site and the flowchart layout. Now it just looks like the tier list page and you’re just another tft site.
havent testet everything new out, but looks pretty cool on the first glance. thanks
Love the update to the site for this set!
One thing I would really love on the homepage is early item slams under the meta lines, would make it a lot easier to choose a comp based on items, if you have a generic augment.
that would be perfect or some page with which comp you can pivot with certain items
Uploaded a new video for the B-Patch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAd3-L0XFgc
Made a major change to the home page: No comps in “Default” category. Every comp is conditional. You need to check your Stargazer, Psionic item, and ideally your Arbiter every game. Look for Emblem augments to get direction. Ideal openers are Primordian, Timebreaker, and Anima as usual. Anima opens up the possibility of Mecha and Anima reroll (need to be uncontested Viktor for that). Fast 9 requires good tempo and econ augments, and even if you make it to the level 9 boards you need at least 1 combat augment usually to win out. The big lesson is that every comp is conditional and you need to know what those conditions are to perform well.
I was playing mecha perfect spot but i went 6th even with radiant gargoyle,find your center and solo plate. I guess i lost the game because i didnt had a good third item on ASOL (had void staff). I choosed to get a champ duplicator(one two buff) as third augument and not a combat/item. Next time is better to take combat or item to close the ASOL build? thanks for your hard work Blue!
Best TFT comps site, hands down! Keep up the good work 🙂
The patch insight really is the highlight of the new interface imo. I like to compare my patch analysis with your thoughts and improve from there as well. Thanks for your hard work, I love everything about it !
I love how good the homepage for the site now looks, great work blue!
Going to take some time to update for the B-patch, but I swapped the site over for now. Only change I’ve made so far is moving Mecha down since it got hit the hardest. Have seen LeBlanc and Viktor still doing well despite their nerfs.
