Takeaways

• 😀 Alistar and Kog'Maw (Ali 2, Kog 2) are the best 1-cost carries and tanks for the current patch, especially when combined with a slam item.
• 😀 Morgana is a great blue buff holder and performs well in a variety of comps, while Vi and more bruiser-based comps are also strong choices.
• 😀 Holding certain units like Niti or Sho doesn't provide much benefit anymore, as they're less essential for specific strategies like AMP.
• 😀 Stage 1 holds should focus on high-impact units like Alistar and Kog'Maw, and prioritize synergy-based choices like Morgana for blue buff.
• 😀 TFT's recent patch has reduced resources (e.g., one less blue orb per game), affecting item and augment selection, especially for AMP comps.
• 😀 In five AMP comps, using spectral cutless and items like Infinity Edge (IE) or Hodge can massively boost Nefiri's power.
• 😀 For five AMP compositions, focusing on units like Nefiri and Yumi with blue buff can lead to high power scaling, especially if you reach Legendary units.
• 😀 The MFZ duo comp works well with Zeri and Syndicate traits, with Pulse or Flux being ideal conditions, but requires strong itemization to succeed.
• 😀 Vexotech is a niche but powerful comp that benefits from specific Best in Slot (BIS) items. It is often played out of a loss streak to maximize carousel priority.
• 😀 The Golden Ox comp has a high snowball potential but is volatile, with performance often dependent on hitting critical item and unit breakpoints early on.
• 😀 Garen with Golden Ox mod is a particularly high-capping comp, as it can result in enormous damage scaling, especially if paired with Zac for extra tanking power.

Q & A

What is the main focus of the video?

The video primarily focuses on analyzing the current changes in the 14.4 TFT patch, discussing new, optimized comps, and providing insights into stage 1 holds, item changes, and macro adjustments.

What are some of the key changes mentioned in the current TFT patch?

The video mentions a decrease in orb and item drop rates, averaging one less blue orb per game, which leads to fewer components and a noticeable impact on augment selection.

What are the best carries and tanks for the 1-cost units in this patch?

The best 1-cost carries and tanks mentioned are Alistar and Kog'Maw for the carry, with Vi and more specific options like Morgana and Niv suggesting varied strategies depending on playstyle.

What is the importance of Alistar and Kog'Maw in this patch?

Alistar and Kog'Maw are highlighted as strong picks due to their versatility, with Alistar being a reliable tank and Kog'Maw a solid carry when built optimally with items.

Why does the speaker not recommend holding Niv or Seraphine anymore?

Niv and Seraphine are not recommended for holding anymore because the conditions for AMP play do not heavily depend on them, and they are no longer as crucial to hold in the early stages of the game.

What makes the 5 AMP comp powerful in this patch?

The 5 AMP comp is powerful due to its synergy with Spectral Cutlass and Fury, allowing key champions like Nefiri to deal significant damage and carry the team, especially when paired with optimal items like Infinity Edge or Hodge.

What are some variations in playing the 5 AMP comp?

The 5 AMP comp can be played with a variety of units and items. For example, you can reroll for Nefiri or Yumi and adapt itemization, with blue buff being particularly useful for mana generation, and swapping items to enhance damage potential.

What is the role of items in the MFZ duo comp?

In the MFZ duo comp, items play a crucial role in maximizing the damage output of MF and Zary, particularly when using Pulse or Flux to boost their effectiveness. Items like IE and Shogun's are emphasized for MF, while positioning and itemization are key to ensuring synergy.

What is the Vexotech comp, and how does it function?

The Vexotech comp relies on specific items for Vex, such as her BIS (Best in Slot), to perform optimally. It often requires a loss streak to prioritize carousel and item trades. The comp can benefit from units like Gragas, Morgana, and Vex for survivability and damage, but it needs precise item management.

What is the significance of the Golden Ox comp, and what is its win rate?

The Golden Ox comp is a high-risk, high-reward comp that can snowball to victory if managed well. Despite its win rate of 21%, which is low, it can be a strong pick if the player can leverage strong economic management and item optimization, especially with a plus-one trait to speed up the board.

How do Boombot comps perform and what makes them effective?

Boombot comps are effective due to their high damage output, especially when paired with specific items like Shiv to maximize magic damage. Fast 9 strategies and unit flexibility are essential to make the comp work, with Urgot and Garen being key contributors when fully optimized.

What is the impact of augment selection and resource changes on the game?

The decrease in available resources (like blue orbs) affects augment selection and the general flow of the game. Players will need to adapt by managing items more efficiently and adjusting strategies based on fewer components and resources per game.

Why is it important to focus on specific items like Infinity Edge or Spectral Cutlass in the comp strategies?

Specific items like Infinity Edge and Spectral Cutlass are critical because they amplify the effectiveness of key carries, particularly those like Nefiri in the 5 AMP comp. These items significantly boost the damage potential of champions, making them essential to comp success.
