My positioning or something must be bad.

I haven't gone top 4 since the patch, lol. Was steady climbing and had 9 or something in a row top 4 matches prior.

Make it 5 straight bottom 4s since the patch...

I was so close to plat, lol

I hit masters every season and the only tool I need is metaTFT on overwolf app.

It gives you break downs of best items, units, emblems, augments ect

Is that current patch info?

I just went 6th with Ahri Sorcerers/Invokers, lol.

Starting to realize I'm just bad.

Yes, it's updated the day a new patch drops. It's not guides written by anyone, it's actual data from players being used.

there's also this website that i use for data
https://tactics.tools/team-compositions

Metawolf is easier if you need a lil more direction, cuz they show like good starters and what not. With account info's in ur current lobby if they're one trick ponies or smurfs etc.

These are just strictly data though, which tells you what items generally give you higher placements or like what is considered the strongest board when you hit certain comps, or when u get a spat who to place it on etc.

I think when i first followed these without much knowledge of the game, i got to plat no problem. However, to get any higher I had to learn a lil more detail like when is optimal to level, slam items, tempo, scout, lose streak etc.

the reason why aphelios frejlord worked well and not so much now is cuz they weren't listed in the top meta builds in these sites, so you were rarely contested cuz they're all busy trying to play the meta comps. However with win rates shooting up significantly, more people start to grief or play it and makes it tough.

I'll get to plat just yet!

tldc - freljord aphelios is back on the menu

Another easier way for you to get to plat is probably picking TF legendary and playing sejuani with aphelios or zeri. You pick the 1st Aug that rolls items and make double warmogs frontline, eventually on sej. 3rd item can be guard breaker or another tank item.

Aphelios or zeri, whichever you hit 2star first.
Double rageblade, + ds, gs for zeri rageblade, ad items.

Basically sejuani will deal true damage cuz of the HP and her skill. So having 6 bruisers help, alternatively if you're smurfing the lobby too hard u can go 8 or 9 to add stronger 5 costs. If you get bruiser crest, you can stay at 7 to just play 6 bruiser + ashe + zeri/aphelios. 2nd and 3rd Aug you should pick combat augs, but take whichever makes sense to the comp.

There's also the good ol ekko/kat frejlord comp, apparently it's good again after fixing rogues but they've said that many times now lol. Yet to try it, but it should be strong as well

How do you know when the tft split/season ends? Is it aligned with the battle pass end?
