Why Competitive Players Stopped Using Legends in TFT Set 9.5

Poro has become a lot more popular since Patch 13.19 and 13.19b (the data in the video is for 13.19b). This video outlines why this trend has taken place in Set 9.5 and why it likely won't change given Riot's view for legends. I hope you find it helpful for making your legend choice!

P.S: I also forgot to mention in this video that Caitlyn can be strong in this current meta (13.19b) too by flexing into Vanquishers since an early Jhin 2 / Sett 2 / Ashe 2 can be quite strong.

I just got to Grandmaster using urf. Kind of makes me want to change to poro but at the same time it'd feel weird

[pierroulechou]

i like your content, its mature and well explained, cant wait to watch your stream.

[dennyahh]

essentially it reverted back to not having the potential legend augment gives you more chances to have better poro augments. the others are still good, but this change made it so good legend augment choices are even more rare now. viable, just requires some more risk/luck to pull it off.

this is why i follow you brother. great info thanks

Can you make a video about basic strategies of TFT like economy and streaks (what is bizarre or what is reasonable to do for a streak)? For example, would it be okay for me to go down to 0 when I have all five of my units in 2–5 to keep and make a 5 streak off of that if I have already slammed my items but am not sure if I will win or not? or what to do when you get an economy start when you get all the money and 1 or 2 items in the 1. stage.

I tried playing the urf lottery for ionia and vanq, but it just griefs your stage 1 flexibility to tailor for 2-1. Also saccing a 3-2 augment feels bad. His 4-2 prismatic is amazing for ionia and noxus tho.

The work to determine and list EVs - nice stuff. I take it you work/study in a field that uses that skill set?

[Meurial]

hi, im sure this doesnt effect 99% of ur viewers, but ur audio is lopsided like 45Left/55Right and it really annoyed my ears... stuck through the entire way though. looking forward to watch more of ur stuff!

[dinastyx]

I'm not saying poro isn't the best legend, in fact I agree with you. But your spreadsheet is pretty absurd and the math makes no sense. How can all the legends average sub 4.5? Also how can the highest average for 3-2 augments be 4.51. So no matter what legend you pick, you just have a negative average... What?

[Jockey]

cause i realized it's boring and it makes you focus on something specific most of the time

[cryoemenjoyer]

Legends were the biggest mistake in TFT history. Especially at the beginning of set 9, they made game so boring and predictable. I hope they will be removed in a new set.
