With compositions centered around 1-cost champions like Diana, Yasuo, Nidalee… being extremely strong, the hyper-roll playstyle is becoming more popular among players. However, this playstyle is far from perfect and does not guarantee an easy climb up the ranks. In fact, according to Riot Mortdog, the lead designer of Teamfight Tactics, hyper-roll can sometimes cause players to drop ranks very quickly.
Riot Mortdog: “I believe that hyper-roll can still exist, but you really need to have enough luck for this playstyle to be effective. You can’t force yourself to hyper-roll in every match. If you do, your failure rate will be very high and the consequence will be dropping ranks.” We will adjust the Chosen system so that players have more options at the end of the game instead of forcing themselves to hyper-roll in every game.”
In Teamfight Tactics, the number of a specific champion that can appear is limited. Therefore, upgrading champions to 3 stars is always extremely difficult. For example, with a hot champion like Nidalee currently, having 3 players wanting to push this unit to 3 stars is quite common. This only leads those players to nullify their chances of victory as they will have to spend a lot of gold without necessarily completing the hyper-roll of their main champion to 3 stars.
Moreover, many players do not know how to manage their compositions after successfully hyper-rolling, rendering all previous efforts meaningless. Remember that while you are diligently rolling, other players also have ways to increase their power, such as leveling up or buying 4-5 cost champions… If you do not level up quickly and arrange your composition properly, even a 3-star unit cannot compensate for being overwhelmed in terms of numbers.
Instead of forcing yourself to play so recklessly, you can simply play in a basic manner to climb ranks steadily. The general theory is to find ways to build the strongest possible composition early in the game, combine valuable items early to maintain health, gold, and level up steadily. In the late game, you will build a composition around strong 4-cost carry champions like Olaf, Kayle, Talon, Tryndamere… This is a fundamental playstyle that has never gone out of fashion.
It can be said that hyper-roll in Teamfight Tactics right now resembles a trap that players need to avoid as much as possible. This playstyle is overly risky and not suitable at all for players wanting to climb to high ranks like Diamond or Master…
