This post is more like a leblanc propaganda than anything, I love having early augments and the combinations that can come from them. It feels REALLY fresh and fun compared to most games without really just breaking your odds of winning. I also miss crab rave.
Scuttle puddle foreverrrr
I prefer Crab Rave, but mostly because scuttle puddle runs away from melee champs round 1
i like that round 1 takes forever with a melee champion, it gives me more time to regret loading into a game
Me every time I get rumble
Love the 2 anvils to start with. I always feel like it helps me find a good direction to go. But I'm just a hard stuck p4 player.
Anything that isn't Ryze. I'm not exaggerating when I say that in my mind there's just two encounters, Ryze and not Ryze.
I hate this encounter with a passion. You can get some great, decent or absolute DOG emblem combos and it sucks knowing frame 1 that your going to either have a shot at winning or be cooked. Seeing someone have 3 useful emblems and you with 3 that don't mix AT ALL, is not fun.
Its my fav bro, cmon :(
It was fun when it was a dummy so you could enable some wild things and verticals werent trash, but this set is so hard to get a prismatic vertical even with ryze that it just feels much less fun.
This is what baffles me! I say this meaning 0 flame at all but how can it possibly be your favourite? The whole point of the game is to adapt to units/items you get, then this asshole Ryze pops up suddenly says "hey man, you better go this specific collection of traits and hope that I gave you some good ones, because there will be other people in the lobby that got traits for meta comps and hit their units naturally!" It basically feels like a random number of people are just getting an extra augment at times, it's so frustrating.
Not the original commentor
I really love the theorycrafting of "oh I have these traits, what board can I make that maximizes all three"
I just think it's fun.
Back in the musical set I'd run Jazz all the time, just because I really enjoy running comps that are just a billion traits active at bronze, and Ryze is great for that
The issue is that traits are pretty bad right now so maximizing emblem value is a pretty big waste of time, especially later in the game.
True, but I'm not playing to climb, I'm playing to have fun and get better. If I develop a cool board and have fun putting it together then I consider it a good game of TFT even if I place 8th
That said, I also get that not everyone plays the same way and I could see why it's frustrating if you're trying to climb
You definitely don't need to build around all the emblems you are given. I had a game the other day where I was given Ionia, arcanist, and quickstriker. Got ashe early so went for tryn reroll. So the only difference to the normal comp was I had 3 quickstriker instead of 2. The third arcanist doesn't change anything, and while it would've been cool to fit in Ionia, it just wasn't worth it. I think it's fun to try and fit all your emblems into a single comp, but you are almost always better off playing around 1 or 2 that have incidental synergy.
Yea I agree, the point is though that some players just naturally get a bonus going into what they already want to build and others get nothing. Very rarely does it add actual deliberate value to your board, but some people just get lucky with it and it's like damn, fuck everyone else I guess
Yeah if someone got like void, bruiser, slayer then they were just gifted the game by RNGesus. I know competitive players (regardless of rank) dislike trainer golems and now this ryze encounter, but honestly it seems like odds of mega low rolling emblems are not that high, especially with how strong bronze tier traits are. People wanted flex play. What's more flex play than making triple emblems work haha.
I swear I must have played like 30-40 games so far, and I haven't got a ryze encounter once.
i love ryze, i played a game with Baron and THex💔
Literally any besides triple emblem
God I hate triple emblems in RANKED play. Someone gets a bilge emblem and Pandora's. Bam ,10 bilge. You got Zaun and 2 other crappy ones? Gg ig.Â
I feel like I'll always see a full verticle yordle on this encounter regardless of what emblems they get
I don’t think pandoras is disabled on ryze encounter?
Honestly I could totally be mistaken on yhat! Either way a good reforge on emblems or a spat on carousel same result!
Early augments, and triple emblem are the most fun for me
Triple emblem is entirely hit or miss for me. You either get an incredibly interesting line, or half the lobby gets 2 of the same three emblems and go the same comp
Hi me!
Who's me?
Favourite is Baron Nashor, more 3* 4-costs and 5-costs for winout.
Least favourite is Ryze as always. This set is slightly more acceptable with prismatic traits at lv10. But still too many free wins where I don't feel satisfied even after the win. For this patch, Piltover and Bilgewater emblems are free Top 4.
Crabbbz. How they dance, how they enable 50 gold in 3-1 without being afraid of staying behind tempo
Loot subscription
Prismatic Party for sure. So great augments this set!
3 emblems also, love that they are not on golem anymore.
Emblems and prismatic.
Leblenc easily. I do miss artifact encounter tho
The Draven one. So much gold
I don't know which one I love. But I really hate the Twisted Fate one
I love anything that isn't seraphine. I have yet to top 6 with her.
I noticed that I often 3* 4 costs in loot subscription
The alls calm no encounter is best encounter
Anything that isn’t ryze I just hate it so much
Funny cuz this whole thread loves Ryze and the only ones I hate more are Draven and Poppy
Unfortunatly i have to say except for Ryze This is by far my Most hated Encounter. Its true that you might get some really cool Combos. But you can also get a Lot of Trash. Also offen If you are behind, a Clutch augment on 4-2 can save your Game. Now This isnt the Case. Essentially it feels Like Ryze... Just way better.
My Favourite Encounter is probably scrubble carbs for the money
Leblanc encounter is pretty fun to me!
in ranked i hate ryze because its so much chaos
in normals i love ryze because its so much chaos
The one with no encounter
Triple Emblems is always my favourite. There are no bad rolls, only bad adaptations!
Zaun, evoked, longshot.
But it is a good encounter
Ryze - triple Emblem- is so nice, because it enables crazy anf unique Boards
This gets a lot of hate but I like how it can create a puzzle of what's the best board with what you get given
Crab rave and scuttle puddle Lissandra with 5 1 costs 2 cost start 3 cost start 2star 1 cost start
They're all fun in their own way. Except No Encounter, No Encounter is boring as fuck. Either commit to Stillwater Hold levels of boring or don't try to make the game less interesting
