When participating in Teamfight Tactics, sometimes you will encounter extremely “awkward” situations that lead to losses. There are cases where you play until stage 3 but cannot upgrade your team composition, fail despite having a very strong team comp, or fail to find a preferred carry… So how can you avoid such defeats? Let’s explore some unique tips from the Master player – ApolloX to overcome such tough situations.
The first tip shared by the Master player is to roll all your gold right from the start of stage 3, when your team composition is too weak. If you keep maintaining 50 gold, the player will lose a lot of health while the team composition does not progress in strength. Therefore, your optimal choice at that time is to roll as much as possible, even using up all your gold, to find a way to upgrade your team composition to 2 stars.
This will help your gamer maintain a lot of health in the mid-game and ensure a significant advantage over other players who are hoarding gold. This approach is particularly important when you play a Knight team composition because this tribe needs to win to accumulate stats. If your Knight units remain at 1 star, the effect of this tribe is nearly useless.
Another tip that ApolloX shared is that players should continuously change the positions of their team composition after each round, especially towards the end of the game. If you keep your formation unchanged, there is a high chance that your opponents will find ways to counter with specific units and items. Therefore, continuously changing the formation will make it difficult for opponents to find ways to counter you since each person has only 30 seconds to prepare before each round.
This is extremely important if you are using carries that are placed at the corners of the battlefield like Kayle or Aurelion Sol. They are very susceptible to being countered by Blade of the Ruined King or Silent Cloak, so continuously changing the positions of these carries will help players dodge unfortunate losses and health loss.
The final advice from the Master player is not to commit to a carry champion too early and funnel all your items into that unit. While some champions possess extremely high power, if you do not find that unit (or if it remains at 1 star), all your efforts will be meaningless. What you should do here is to buy other carry champions that can serve as “firefighters” when your initial build fails.
For example, if you plan to play a composition around Kayle and have already crafted Infinity Edge and Guinsoo’s Rageblade. However, when reaching level 8 and starting to roll, if you cannot upgrade this unit to 2 stars, then what you need to do at this point is to buy units like Olaf or Shyvana. These 2 units can effectively utilize Infinity Edge and Guinsoo’s Rageblade to carry the team, so you can switch to using them.
