Okay, here’s my attempt at writing a blog post like that, focusing on my actual experience playing TFT Set 10, and keeping it casual:
Alright, so I finally dove headfirst into TFT Set 10. I’d been seeing all the hype, the new champions, the traits, and I was like, “Okay, gotta get in on this.” First thing I did? Totally ignored all the guides and tier lists.
I jumped straight into a Normal game. No thinking, just vibing. My initial thought was, “Ooh, new shiny things!” I picked up whatever looked cool, grabbing random champions. Ended up with a mix of, like, a Country Samira, a random K/DA Ahri, and some other stuff I can’t even remember. It was a mess, let me tell you. My economy was TERRIBLE, I was rolling like a maniac trying to find something that worked, and I think I finished, like, 8th. Total disaster.
My First Try
But, you know, it was fun! I learned that just grabbing random champs isn’t a winning strategy (duh!). After that first game, I took a step back.
- Look at the traits: Okay, so the big board shows the traits, right? K/DA, Heartsteel, Country, all that. I started to actually READ what they do.
- Champions’ abilities: What does that champion actually do? Is he a carry? Support? A tank?
- Item: What item suit for the champions?
I started small. I decided to try out a few specific comps. I played a few more games, focusing on, like, K/DA. I figured, “Okay, gotta get those tiles activated, position my units right.”
Started To Play Better
My next few games went way better. I started actually thinking about my economy, leveling up at the right times, and saving gold to roll for the champions I needed. I even managed to snag a few 1st place finishes! The biggest thing I learned? Positioning is EVERYTHING. Putting your carries in the back, tanks in the front… that makes a HUGE difference. Also, scouting other players’ boards. Seeing what they’re building helps you figure out what to go for, and whether you should pivot to something *, it paid off! I managed to climb a few ranks, and I’m actually starting to feel like I kind of know what I’m doing. Still a long way to go, but it’s progress!
It’s been a wild ride so far. From total noob to… well, slightly less of a noob. I’m still learning, still experimenting, but that’s part of the fun, right?
