If it really takes off, would you guys go standalone or just incorporate into the LoL client? Either way super cool you're adding ranked, I play Auto Chess but it's been crashing a lot recently. If this game scratches the same itch, I'm converted instantly.

Plan right now is to keep it in the client and just invest more resources in making the client not sh*t

I said this on the other frontpage thread but I believe they cancelled nexus blitz for this regardless of data once they realized how big dota auto chess got. For how fast this is going up and how they are doubling down with ranked, they probably wanted only one new mode to be permanent and saw more of a future in this which is really sad for anyone who loved nexus blitz.

We decided to not make NB permanent because it wasn't popular enough. And it was consistently declining in popularity over time. I know that folks who love NB will always find that explanation hard to swallow, but it's the truth. And the Reddit theory will always be that we gave up on it too early, but all of the data we were seeing globally convinced us that it wasn't going to be a successful longterm investment.

Even if NB had blown up and become a huge success, we'd probably still have made TFT. They're totally different modes with different audiences. NB = fast-paced and more casual compared to SR. TFT has nothing to do with SR and is super deep and slow-paced.

Where can I ban Fiora in this gamemode?

Just pick every fiora you see in this so no one else can have them

Finally, now I only need to blame RNG if I lose, instead of RNG and boosted team mates

You can also yell at your little pieces for not being as smart as you. Really it's a satisfying experience.

Hey, here's an idea! Bring back Red and Blue buff's children as Little Legends for this game mode. Ever since they left the nest it hasn't been the same :(

This guy gets it

There's a basic tutorial the first time you queue up, and we're working on getting in some "hints" that help you understand what to do in game.

Plus we have some video content planned to help you learn the game as well.

I sure hope you also got some input from the dude considered to be the greatest autochess player known to man, Michael Santana.

I didn't want to bother his majesty.

Part of treating this like a Real Grown Up Game Mode means we'll support it with cool metagame features. That includes ranked. You can expect to see the ranked for TFT start up around patch 9.14. At that point, we should be in a good spot with bugs and initial game balance.

So ranked will be out for this new game mode in 3 patches?

That escalated quickly

As a dev I get a headstart. I'm already Iron 4 and it only costs 200 RP to "unlock" my next rank!

Interesting

I too can't wait to finally get of ELO Hell and place Master in a League of Legends product.

OMG I'M SO HYPED. Have been helping with spell design and the game is a lot of fun!

TBH when you posted that I hoped you'd get no upvotes.

That’s the only reason we are launching the mode. Needed an excuse to release Pengu and other Little Legends to the game.
