Rise of the Elements — Teamfight Tactics' Set 2 — will soon blast on the Convergence with a legion of changes. Riot had previously announced that we should expect some champion and item rotations, but there is more!
Indeed, Lead Designer RiotMort announced on Twitter a few days ago that boards will evolve to implement a new row! A tweak that might sound pointless, which is on the opposite completely game-changing.
Currently, there are three efficient ways to position your units:
- Packing them in the corner when playing against Knights and Shapeshifters
- Spacing them when you're facing Hextechs or Sorcerers
- Putting everyone in the back row when you're playing against Assassins
With this new row, we should expect the positioning meta to evolve — a lot. Also, RiotMort explained that this would be a permanent change, at least for Set 2.
What do you think of this update? Do you believe it will shake the meta upside down — once again?
