EDIT: That's a wrap for now everyone! Thanks for stopping by and we hope you continue to have fun playing set 2!

Hey everyone, it’s us the TFT team. Now that set 2 "Rise of the Elements" has been out in the wild for a few days, we wanted to take the time to field some questions and give you a bit of context on some of the decisions we made, what we've learned, and maybe a few small nods to what we're looking to do in the future!

If you have any questions that you're dying to ask, shoot em our way and we'll try to get to everyone :). We'll primarily be active between 11:00am PST and 12:00pst, but we'll likely to get to questions that are posted after the hour elapses - responses just might be a bit delayed. I'm posting this thread a bit early so we can start populating questions so there's a good list starting at 11:00am for us to start on.

If you haven't played Set 2 yet and want a quick refresher check out the links below!

We tested Bard casting Tempered Fate, but didn't like how he fit into the Trait structure (and his spell needed work).

Second time we tried out Bard with his R as well - he was a champ in the original prototype set we build before set 1 for a while. That set had similar traits to set 1, though meaningfully different content (e.g. Illaoi as a low cost Pirate Brawler).

Are the numbers of players still strong? When tft came out twitch had over 100k viewers, now it’s less than 15k. Could this lead to Riot dropping the game in the future like URF?

We'll be in it for the long term. Playerbase numbers do fluctuate, especially when there hasn't been new content for a bit. As Jag mentions even towards the end of Set 1 they were still in a good spot though and Twitch isn't very reflective of playerbase size. The addition of the mobile client next year is also expected to increase the playerbase significantly.

Thanks for the ama.

When I have a Jax on a mountain field (+30hp each turn). Then upgrade it to a 2* Jax. Will the Jax keep the +30hp he got the past turn/turns ?

He will yes.

Any hope of seeing Illaoi in a future set, or perhaps an addition to this one? She's my favorite SR champion and she seems like she'd have a lot of potential in TFT!

I expect we'll see her at some point, not sure when yet though
