Items and gold drops are a touchy subject when talking about Teamfight Tactics — especially because it often seems that gaining gold is deeply unfair compared to a player who dropped an item. In a recent Tweet, Lead Designer Riot Mort explains that you could end up in eight different spots.
Following the first three PvE rounds, several situations can occur:
- It's obviously more beneficial to drop two or three items instead of one item and a few gold.
- In the extreme case where you earn nine gold, you will be able to quickly build your economy — gaining an advantage over your opponents.
- In most cases, you will drop one or two items, and a few gold. This kind of start is the most common, but it does not mean that it's the best.
Keep in mind that:
- Krugs, Wolves, and Raptors will always give you "one or several items" OR "5 gold"
- Endgame PvE rounds such as Dragon, Rift Herald and Elder Dragon will always give you 'one crafted item".
