A guide in text for League of Legends' popular sub-game Team Fight Tactics! A guide where you can easily ctrl + F to search for things faster.

Disclaimer: If the guide goes outdated, that means I don't play this anymore. Feel free to leave a comment so I can update it though. I am only sharing a cumulative work that I put together from different sources with proper credits.

Purpose:

Recently, my friends and coworkers hinted to this new game-mode where there is strategy, but the amount of attention needed to play was minimal. I was like, so a strategy game where I don't really have to pay attention too and do something else at the same time? I was SOLD.

If you know me, I like to multi-task my work so that I can enjoy multiple things at once. So that brings us to this fully blown guide. There are many guides already, but many are hosted on ugly and laggy pos websites, and then many are put into images, seriously?!

So here we are, I want to actually win a game. Obviously, I'm going to input some information and strategy from my experience playing and from other guides. Since most of the guides say the same thing, it's common knowledge at this point.

Feel free to share this article with your friends and enemies! If you copy, repost, reshare, or edit please give credit to those.

6. Strategies

Always play off the items you have, not the champions you get!

If you can go pirate early game, do it. Then in mid to late game, switch it out to something better.

If you can go assassin early game, do it. If your assassin team is fully geared, you can win late game, but need strong front line.

Thank You:

The guide is incomplete and I will probably update it when I can find more information online and as I play. I'm pretty busy, but will do my best. Thank you for checking this article out and it was helpful, so drop a rating and like.
