In the ever-evolving landscape of Team Fight Tactics (TFT), a contentious issue has surfaced around the role of wandering trainers. A recent anonymous post spoke of the consistent victories of such entities, especially in their Emerald tier games. Their disgruntlement drew further attention to the perceived inflexibility of choosing their own composition before a match and the occasional detrimental effects of the different trainer combinations. This sentiment seems most pronounced during their climb in the competitive ladder. The post ended with a call to arms, inviting other TFT enthusiasts to share their thoughts.

Summary

  • Emerging from the discussions was a near-consensus that while wandering trainers have a fun element, they can draw ire in ranked play.
  • It became apparent that people find them more enjoyable when they favour “rolling with the punches,” as worded by one of the users.
  • Players voiced frustrations concerning trainer-induced rigidity in the game, a sentiment shared by the person who started the discussion.

The sentiment was best summed up in a comment by Ope_Average_Badger: “You don’t have to play the traits offered but it certainly feels like a handicap if you don’t.” This ties to the major gripe shared by NoNeutralNed who noted that the fun lessens the more skilled you get at the game.
