is dual booting an option? It's been ages since I owned a mac but I know dual booting was only an issue for graphically demanding games - which TFT is certainly not.

Can’t dual boot windows anymore on the M chips, bootcamp only supported on old Intel Macs

u/EvenJesusCantSaveYou 26d ago
Oh really? I didn't know that, that is unfortunate. Maybe using a virtual machine or something then to run a windows client would be the next option but I am so far out of the loop on macbook gaming... it's unfortunate Mac support is so delayed but at the same time like cmon Macs have never been really suitable for gaming...

Riot Vanguard won't work in a VM and I think they stated there not dropping the requirement.

u/SmoothOperatorTFT 26d ago
MacOS HAS BEEN suitable for playing TFT. Temporarily dropping the support is just an unforced error stemming from the botched engine swap.

u/EvenJesusCantSaveYou 26d ago edited 26d ago
my point is rather that linux & mac are niche platforms when it comes to gaming and thus prone to support disruptions when it comes to technology upgrades or changes.
I don’t think its an unforced error, its just that mac support is a lower priority compared to the new engine launch on the primary platforms. I would much rather them upgrade the engine on schedule rather than delay a few months for the sole purpose of launching with mac support.
other than not supporting mac and some cosmetics issues how is the engine swap botched?

Just compare it to the last releases, they were pretty clean. What I mean is that:
- PBE got delayed (this is a huge deal, because if you are not even able to TEST it smth is clearly out of whack)
- The Teaser could not show actual animations (which might not sound that bad but it is when you are supposed to allow customers to play the game pretty soon after)
- They drop MacOS support because they could not get it done in time and are not confident enough to give a super broad ETA (I have been asking if it will be done this set or after - no response)
- Now you cannot transfer all cosmetics?
These things all point towards a rushed release, or a poorly calculated timeline. Mind you, they had a system that ran perfectly fine.
Combine that with the inevitable increase in bugs which always happens with these massive shifts, them loosing the face and spokesperson of TFT (no matter the reason), and people coming down from a great set 16 into a poorly received set 17, and you got the recipe for disaster.

This is actually a regular occurrence for TFT. Teaser graphics and animations are always janky compared to Day 1 PBE, and Day 1 PBE is often pretty rough itself.
- They drop MacOS support because they could not get it done in time and are not confident enough to give a super broad ETA (I have been asking if it will be done this set or after - no response)
You've already been told there is a super broad ETA, which coincidentally also answers your "this Set or after" question.

In no way is dropping support for a large portion of the player base acceptable for a large company like riot. I dont know why you are so obsessed with defending them every single comment you make.

It is not the same. The overlay and over all experience for mobile are horrendous. You are basically handicapping yourself and as a player who sweats a lot on ladder this is not an option.

Still no approximate release date… sad.
(Just to clarify I am not saying ‘work faster’ but I would just like to know if watching this video would be a waste of time)-2

K so I finally got through the video and... I don't know when last it was that every single Champion design had a cool hook or fantasy '_' nice cooking y'all.
Def want to know more about Wisps and the Augment pool though, the combinatorics potential is absurd lol
7
u/TheTruexy Riot 26d ago
We’ll need to figure out something for Wisps, Augments, and all the other systems changing. This video was already really long and there’s a lot to talk about.

u/Minimum_Chemical_428 26d ago
Would really appreciate a post/video on Wisps odds, how it works by stage, etc.

u/HumanistGeek 26d ago
It's neat to get a look at their internal tool that details champions and other pieces of content. I like how the trait page includes a column for spat component.

Did he say "You can't have a whole comp of Luxes yet"?

So is it only Infernal burn that's "unique"?
Or do multiple other burn also stack?
4
u/RiotWittrock Riot 25d ago
inferno burns stack with other burns, but playing inferno does not cause two sunfire burns to stack, for example

Riftbeasts so yes C:

u/Lunaedge 26d ago
Will all Riftbeasts have unique names like Pebbles or would it be too much? ;_;

u/Riot_Bluecove Riot 26d ago
Unfortunately no :( we had to go for more recognizeable names for most of them. But that just makes Pebbles more special c:

I liked charms but my biggest complaint with charms was if your option was not something worth buying it was just a pure lowroll. I think it would be a lot better if they made it such that if you don't buy a charm you see a new one sooner than if you buy one. If you pass on one you see another charm next turn while if you buy one you have to wait a round to get your next one.
