Autochess

[Zaphkael]

I figured this genre is getting a lot of attention lately, and it probably deserves its own thread.

I currently play the mobile version (if you want to add me, OTZTI on the EU server), though both the league spinoff and Dota Underlords look very promising.

Anyone else addicted?

[Saudade]

yes

[Alisae]

Yeah I really wanna get into the league one because I feel like thats the only one where I know whats actually happening.

[Alisae]

I JUST WANNA TRY OUT TFT

Imagine the people who want to try out the new champion waiting in this queue because they don't care about TFT

[SleepyKrew]

oh are we talking about TFT here too? ego
sylas is facing the other direction for me, weird

[Alisae]

TFT is part of the Auto Chess genre so sure wynaut

[Zaphkael]

I haven't tried TFT yet. I'm planning to try underlords for sure, but the way it looks seems...not great? I should probably look into TFT some more

[Alisae]

I haven't been up all night playing a video game in such a long time
the fact I'm up all night playing this is refreshing

[TheWayItEnds]

Underlords is basically the same as dota 2 autochess with slightly different heroes and a more interesting item system. It definitely seems like it was made with mobile in mind though instead of being a PC only game which seems weird for a Valve title.

The current mobile autochess is absolutely taking loads of my time. I kinda like how they did the season pass thing they added.

[TheWayItEnds]

I do think TFT forced valves hand with how quick they had to release underlords though since they were about to not be the only autochess game in town.

im going to try valve's autochess once it becomes free

they can't possibly mess it up as bad as they did Artifact

[Psyche]

im afraid of caring about a new thing

[Alisae]

I love sitting in the login queue for the PBE waiting to play Teamfight Tactics with 300K other people

[Alisae]

time to flood this thread with memes I find on r/TeamfightTactics
this is the only one I won't spoiler because this one takes the cake

Spoiler:

So apparently ACMobile is adding Gods like in the dota mod very very soon
And I'm really excited to lose to god-mage comps already

[TheWayItEnds]

Underlords is currently in closed beta i think only for TI battle pass owners.

Is the TFT rollout just anyone can signup and how would someone who doesnt play lol go about doing that if they were interested?

[TheWayItEnds]

Ooh maybe im wrong it looks like maybe it just moved into open beta.

yeah like 18 hours ago or something i think so when that graph started spiking, that makes sense, games should be a lot faster to find now.

[Alisae]

TFT releases on the 26th publicly for anyone to play, and currently TFT is on the PBE server which is open beta if you are eligible to have a PBE acc (so you kinda have to play league to get into the PBE)
If you don’t play league, just wait till the 26th to play it.
Its not worth the hassle to get into the PBE just to play it.

[TheWayItEnds]

I have a league account from the closed beta to season 1 days of league. Would that get me access or would I have had to sign up for it specifically?

[TheWayItEnds]

And then I assume i will have to play it through the league client?

[Alisae]

Yeah once you somehow pass the now 600K+ people who are also waiting to get into the PBE to play, you just launch it from the league client.

[TheWayItEnds]

yeah maybe waiting til the 26th is better then lol

So apparently ACMobile is adding Gods like in the dota mod very very soon

gods should be fun.

i hope they dont port dazzle yet.

[Zaphkael]

Nope, only mars and zeus for now
Not even io yet

Is there a beginner's guide on how to get started? I don't want to just jump in and suck, especially given that it's a dota derivative game, that's exactly how you get everyone else raging at you
