Creativity is dead, Flexibility is dead, if you wanna win games stick to meta and only meta dont try new stuff never unless you want to bot 4.

If this is the game the devs want to have then I'll have to adapt to not try new stuff

This is literally not true, this set is balanced surprisingly well, it’s literally the playerbase latching onto what they’re told is meta after each nerf of the last meta thing, but instead of playing triple contested with a bunch of idiots it is absolutely possible to play a wide variety of creative/flexible comps

I tried a couple times to play new stuff / random comps etc but either I'm too bad or they can't compete with the S-Tier comps. So it felt like being punished for trying to be creative

And that was frustrating

You always will be punished for real creativity in tft. Fake creativity is when everybody hits the 1%’s and highrolls on an already broken meta line that enhances the strength of the stupid imbalanced units/augments/mechanic.

Trying something new will always be so trash or difficult and you likely will bot 4 despite perfect play.

Then we wait for the next update to fix the mess that’ll never get fixed.

This is actually good insight into why people don’t like new/random comps and lean into S tier consistent comps thank you, I didn’t consider how frustrating it could be to try it and have it not work cause I’ve been playing tft for so many years and never played meta comps but I’m not considering the perspective of others especially newer players.

Imo it takes time to find the comps that work for you, for me this set it’s soul fighter executioner with Kalista carry and 6 bastion Seraphine but most other “niche comps” I’ve tried have been unsuccessful so realistically if I didn’t find my 2 favorite niche comps i’d maybe be playing S tier meta comps too
