In Team Fight Tactics (TFT), players often find themselves scratching their heads, questioning the game’s mechanics or certain unexpected match outcomes. A recent post by a player known as OtherwiseBlueberry74 highlights such a situation: ‘Is there a reason that I’m missing why Yasuo is 1v9ing here….’ This statement has since sparked engrossed discussions amongst other gamers on strategy and game mechanics.
Summary:
- Most responses seem to suggest that the player’s unit and item setup was less than ideal. As commentor nam671999 points out, ‘Yasuo just heal through the damage of Samira with his huge damage.’
- Many suggested that the items assigned to Samira, the player’s main carry, were not optimal. User Ok_Confection3902 suggested ‘the samira items are beyond horrible.’
- Another potential reason could be a recent buff to Yasuo, increasing his stack damage as per kills, pointed out by user Chrisamelio. ‘
The Importance of Item Setups
A significant chunk of the criticisms focused on how the player set up their units and the items they gave them. In particular, Samira, who was put forth as the team’s primary carry. According to your_dopamine, ‘Gloves on vex are super bad‘, which if had been placed on a frontline unit like Kat or Tahm Kench, could have potentially altered the outcome of the match.
Selection of Units
Moreover, selection of units does drastically impact the game. Commenter DrakoDRK pointed out the conspicuous absence of Thresh, saying ‘And where was Thresh?‘ suggesting it as a key factor in the player’s defeat.
Strategic Adjustments
Fundamentally, TFT is a strategy game where players must continually adjust to the ever-changing game environment, whether it be mastering the art of counter-action to the opponent’s units or understanding the optimum items for a particular character. Having this knowledge can often mean the difference between victory and defeat as doubleupmain suggests: ‘I’d suggest checking sites like metatft, country units need their BIS.‘
So, next time when you find yourself victim to a perplexing Yasuo 1v9, remember: knowledge is power. And Hopefully, you won’t unwittingly turn into ‘OtherwiseBlueberry’!
