Player k3sojuutv took 1st place in the ranking of Teamfight Tactics in North America on Sunday. Subsequently, he created tier lists for champions, items, and combos, which he published on Reddit.
Who is k3sojuutv? The currently (July 29) second-best player from America is a male fan of League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics. He streams irregularly on Twitch, but has only about 250 followers there.
His major achievements include reaching Challenger tier in Season 6 and Master tier in Season 7 in League of Legends.
The Assassins Are Dead!
What are the best combos in TFT? K3sojuutv has assigned combos to different tiers in an image. The strongest combos in his opinion are:
- Demons
- Rangers
- Imperial
- Gunslingers
- Dragons
- Glacial
All of these combos are rated in the S tier. Also strong are:
- Elementalists – A Tier
- Yordle – A Tier
- Phantom – A Tier
- Sorcerer – B Tier
- Guardian – B Tier
- Blademaster – B Tier
- Shapeshifter – B Tier
Which combos are the weakest? K3sojuutv has made an interesting selection for the worst combos. In the F tier he includes:
- Assassins
- Void
- Pirates
Patch 9.14b seems to have had an effect and the assassins have disappeared from the higher meta for now. Both pirates and void are set to be adjusted with the upcoming Patch 9.15.
Varus and Aatrox are always in S tier
What are the strongest champions in the early game? The best player from North America has also looked at the champions and created two lists. One refers to the early game, the other to the late game.
Interestingly, Varus and Aatrox make it into both lists in S tier. In the early game, you should also focus on the following champions:
- Kennen – S Tier
- Morgana – S Tier
- Tristana – A Tier
- Lulu – A Tier
- Garen – A Tier
- Kha’zix – A Tier
- Pyke – A Tier
Which champions are weak in the early game? In the early game, k3sojuutv mainly avoids:
- Mordekaiser – F Tier
- Kindred – F Tier
- Lissandra – F Tier
- Rek’sai – F Tier
- Ahri – F Tier
In D tier, there are some champions who only really utilize their potential at level two, such as Gnar, Braum, or Leona.
Which champions are strong in the late game? In addition to Varus and Aatrox, who are already good in the early game, there are several other champions you can build on:
- Draven – S Tier
- Anivia – S Tier
- Pyke – A Tier
- Evelynn – A Tier
- Morgana – A Tier
- Kennen – A Tier
- Ashe – A Tier
- Aurelion Sol – A Tier
- Kayle – A Tier
- Tristana – A Tier
What are the weakest champions in the late game? Due to good synergies, Kindred, Lissandra, and Mordekaiser were able to escape from F tier to B tier. However, Ahri and Rek’sai remain in F tier, along with:
- Lucian
- Garen
- Darius
- Graves
- Fiora
- Elisa
- Rengar
- Katarina
- Kassadin
- Nidalee
- Rengar
- Kha’zix
Group Items are at the Front
What are the best items in TFT? As the fourth and final list, k3sojuutv published an item tier list. He ranked the following at the top:
- Force of Nature
- Locket of the Iron Solari
- Zeke’s Herold
- Rapid Firecannon
- Darkin
Ionian Spark also made it to A tier, but it is also set to be nerfed in the upcoming patch.
What are the weakest items in TFT? Only one item made it to D tier, Knights Vow. Knights are simply too weak in their current position.
However, there are some items that are only good in specific situations.
For which period do the tier lists apply? The lists created by k3sojuutv are based on the current patch 9.14b. The upcoming update on Wednesday, July 31, could render these lists ineffective once again.
