My friends and I are all having fun playing TFT, but now that the event has started we have to play normal games? You don't even get experience or blue essence playing TFT. You should AT LEAST be able to get progression on wins and number of games played for quests.

Given that TFT is a new product, we had some uncertainty around coupling it with the Arcade Event. (Ex: If you bought the pass with the expectation of playing TFT for tokens and then we had to take down TFT for some reason, that would be a pretty frustrating.). Given TFT is in beta we decided to err on the side of caution here.
Note: TFT is still not out in every region, and the team still has a lot of work to do in order to make it available globally along with following up from a stability of service perspective.
Regardless, we absolutely hear you, and we are looking for ways to adjust other event passes this year to include and accommodate for TFT.
Only reason I'm not buying the battle pass is because I'll mostly play TFT this month and it doesn't give any tokens
Hey Folks. (Responded deeper in the thread but also writing it up here as a reply)

This makes so much sense and should be way more up. Imagine all the flame you would get for the "server crashes" and long Q-times for TFT if there was money involved.
You hit the nail on the head. It can already be a frustrating experience when there’s a new mode that you want to play and it isn’t available. The frustration levels definitely go over 9000 when you’ve paid money and the mode isn’t available or if there are long queues.
Just some individual feedback here:
As a person who would be playing league regardless, it feels bad that I can't enjoy the content of a new game mode (TFT) and the latest event.
It feels punishing that I can't enjoy the latest League content without giving up another portion of limited League content.
Really appreciate the feedback, also the way you’re laying out your perspective in a super productive way.
100% hear you and we’re looking at ways to make this better moving forward.
Additional feedback if you're still looking for it, but as someone that has grinded every single pass that you guys have put out, it really is a weird spot to be in.
On one hand, I'm an ADC main and really want the Caitlyn Prestige, because I'm a collector and it feels nice to get. But I know that Event Passes require a lot of games played, and it's totally fine, I like that.
However, with TFT Ranked coming up and me loving the gamemode and wanting to take it seriously, it's really difficult to do both.
I understand that it's the same as if I was interested in two different games, but one of the main reason why I love TFT is how integrated it is with the League IP and I wish we would have a bit more crossover progression between those two, at least for those Event Passes.It doesn't help that the 25 Prestige Points we get with the pass will expire in February, so hard to just skip this one without being stuck without enough to get a Prestige Skin afterward.
What I love about these Event Passes is that they reward you for playing League through exclusive stuff, and I would love some cool TFT stuff being available for Event Tokens in the future, like Little Legends, Portal Effects when switching maps, Arena skins, VFX celebrations (replacing Fireworks), Loading Screen borders...etc
Especially since we can get Icons and Emotes through the Event Passes, both of which are usable in TFT. I hope this becomes a reality, because I feel like TFT will be huge in the future. It already replaced our ARAM nights with friends.
Really well written and extremely thoughtful feedback. Appreciate you taking the time to write it up and I assure you that as a player myself, I share a lot of the same sentiments and can assure you that we’re looking into ways at making this experience better for players of League and TFT alike. Seriously, thanks for sharing your thoughts in a productive way.
I'm really glad to hear that, thanks!
I have high hopes and faith in the team for TFT as I know one of the many reasons I have been playing League for 8 years is because the game is kept fresh and innovative patch after patch along with constant community interactions from Rioters, so I look forward too all the stuff you guys have planned.
We’re nothing without the support of our fans. Umarill, thanks for your feedback and also your faith in our teams here at Riot.
