I tried to make this one a little longer, if that's something you guys enjoy I'll try to do it a bit more in the future. Anyway, let me know what .5 Set you want first, I'm thinking 4.5 because I LOVE that set
@@matthewwojcik576 guess you've never played fighting games then. Finishers are kind of a hype moment. Animations could be funnier though, funny finishers are better then weeb finishers.
I honestly do miss this set. Jade comps were my favorite to play around especially Shi Oh Yu out of all the dragons. Man, what a colossal balance nightmare this set was.
this was by far my favourite tft set as a player who has consistently played since set 1. As someone who has peaked at emerald and stayed around plat in most sets I can understand how it was horrible from a competitive stand point, but omg was it fun. It was also the first set that made a major innovative change after augments which felt extremely fresh and new at the time and, honestly I don't think anything has made as much of an impact since
This was the first set I hit challenger. The balance was bad like asol was clickable for almost the whole set and many bugs like Astro but it introduced a lot of cool concepts and it was pretty fun to play tbf. I think this is also the set where competitive tft grew the most
I have fond memories of set 7. dragons are always cool. It's insane that dodge negated AD spell damage all the way to set 7. And was only changed because Sy'Fen kept losing out on the huge bite damage. Astral is my vote for the worst designed reroll trait., it literally just played itself. Being able to roll and guarantee a tailored shop is insane. And then the emblem on a dragon was the free-est 3 star I've ever hit. Pandora's bench made 3 starring dragons really easy too. Mainly because there were so few 8/10 cost dragons Augments were fun. The one that comes to mind is prismatic scoped weapons (infinite range) for Shi-Oh-Yu or Yone. It opened up different ways to play, you could be greedy with items since they arent melee. Trait augments were fun too, cavalier's charge deals damage was funny to build around. using thresh or lee sin to displace units for another cheeky charge Or jade giving permanent HP was insane and worked with any tank trait.
I loved playing Legend Cavalier, It was so fun seeing a comp of 3 units (Voli, Annivia, Ornn) with tons of MR, Armor and other stats, absolutely demolishing while outnumbered. Another thing is that this set 7 and 7.5 had more memorable comps and fun units than any other set imo.
surprised you didnt mention whisper daeja, the best dragon with the coolest trait paired with an insane emblem was a sight to behold, it was even better than revel daeja because you could actually cap really hard with it
God. This set is the main reason why I wish Riot would create more "Callback" patches. Like a different old set combing back each week. I wanna play dragonlands again. I freaking LOVED that set. Astral in the first iteration and lagoon in the second were such a blast to play. Shimmerscale as well. Fucking loved everything about it down to the broken dragons or interactions. TAKE ME BACK
They have been doing this and talking about it. Look up "Set Revivals". They will bring back each set as a mini game mode. Just gotta keep your eyes open for them.
@@101shaymin I know, that's why I said I want them to create *more* callback patches. The last and so far only one was the Galaxies set revival for a short period of time and that's been like half a year ago or something at this point. With past "rotating modes" Riot has (at least to me) shown a clear inability to actually make it a real rotation and there's always been breaks inbetween that lasted far too long and I worry it's gonna be the same. They say they're gonna do it, it starts out well and VERY quickly gets shafted
Did you ever see Whispers Graves with Celestial Blessing? It was bugged for a patch where Graves would proc Whispers 16 times PER AUTO. Graves easily broke into 1000-2000 AD in some rounds, the most insane thing i've ever seen, but it was fun! God damn i love these videos, dont stop making them. you're tempting me to do similar ones too lmao, i love looking back at these fun moments
Pretty sure graves was 7.5... but honestly I dunno if I'll do 8 or 9 just yet(not enough time), I'm gonna go do the .5s instead. Sure man, I mean if you wanna work on one together I'm down
@@Nomsynho aw hell yeah, DMS are always open, literally whenever you're down I'm down But yeah graves was 7.5, seraphine lagoon was sick! Set 9 is a good set to do due to legends and the item rework
19:02 : That was one of my favorites and something that I wish they would recapture. I am trying to do something like that with my auto-battler, but it is tough. The whole experimentation of "let's make this unit a Y trait now" was so cool and fun. Obviously, some broken stuff like with Deja, but the whole just throwing caution to the wind and trying cool combos was my favorite part by far.
One thing he forget is the best spatula for deja is not reval is actually whisper spatula deja aa is split into 3 wind blade so each time deja aa she stack 3 whisper stack its so good to the point its worth running deja with syfen even when running 2 dragon together stop you from getting +3 trait bonuses from dragon Its so good to the point dej single handedly get the whisper spatula remove in set 7.5
@offithur1867 actually what make whisper deja op is cause of the ad stacking normally deja triple aa ad damage is every weak due to his every low base ad but when you can stack flat ad with deja she become broken
Ive played tft since set one, but the set that made me LOVE tft and played alot more was set 7 I loved it so much. Each time i play with my friend, we just remember the good old time of set 7 we are both so nostalgic about it.
I didn't had too much time in the beginning of set 7 and didn't like it too much, but then it clicked and i f loved it. Thank you a lot for your work and bringing back all the good old memories.
Honestly although this Set is really broken, it have a big place inside my heart. I remember all the meta there, every champ have a moment to rise, become the carry, even tankers. Also dont forget the Dragons, they are one of the best things added to TFT.
man, i miss this set so much, and u reminded me of those dices that gave u a higher % of getting the champ u used it on, i didn't even realise riot had removed them
Im loving all these videos and i love the long form versions of these set archive reviews because it really allows you to encapsulate the feeling and essence of what the set was like. Keep up the good work!
I loves this set! I always experimented with Elise and how she satisfyingly deletes every unit or how Syfen demolishes entire comps. It was a hard set but it was some of the most fun I've had ever
Isn't this the year of the dragon? They could bring back one of the dragon sets as a legacy event mode. People would love it and it fits the Chinese calendar.
I loved the dragon set soooo much on a design side I understand just how much of a balance nightmare it was and how it was questionable competitively but from a for fun perspective it was absolute heaven
My friends and I are all high elo league of legends addicts ranging from masters to challenger. All of us are also just really TFT casuals playing like 20 games and just completely stop playing until new set. This set was the only one that had us literally playing non stop TFT and forget completely about league. Something simply felt so fun about this set that we sadfully have not feel with any other one. We are awaiting for the comeback of those dragons like nothing else.
I would love a video about the most unbalanced, and most hated set of all time - Set 9.5. Where they made Prismatic traits super easy to get, and they made them stupidly strong for no reason.
I mostly dislike chibi finishers because it introduced chibis in the first place, i miss tft being just these cool cute wholly original creatures and animals, not just rehashed chibi versions of champs.
Set 7 was my first tft set and I just assumed that everything was always giga broken. cool intro to the game mode. Xayah/revel at release was the most insane broken thing to me, more than daeja
Hello, I really enjoyed this video. Now I miss Set 7 Sadge You randomly popped up in my recommended and I enjoy yout content a lot. Subscription well earned!
I loved Set 7 and 7.5 so much, I genuinely think the set had more fun comps than the last 3 Sets combined. Almost every carry felt satisfying to play and the traits were so different compared to what we normally have. No boring stat boosts but actual traits with unique mechanics and great potential. Honestly the only comp i found a bit boring was Olaf, Diana reroll but other than that everything was fun. I feel like the whole Dragon thing gave them so much freedom to design whatever they wanted because they had to find a way to balance these strong units. And I almost forgot, the augments were so fun too, Think fast on stage 2 for astral, 3 Loaded Dice or the dragon augment. Everything was so goofy but so fun
I'd love to see the the 7.5 analysis, I didn't enjoy set 7 that much, too much unbalanced things every patch, and the 1 dragon per comp restriction made some really frustrating situations when you hit a Dragon and couldn't fit it because you were already using one. I had the best time ever in 7.5, specially in the second half when balance were better, I'm really excited to see the 7.5 analysis!
Just saiding shyvana is shite from the beginning till they change her damage from max hp to number then she become the best 10 cost dragons her spell basically become a ao shin ult with only a 20 mana cost , to explain how long ao shin mana bar is for those who never play set 7 with a shojin he cast around 15 s
Set 7 is when I got into tft, and was extremely successful. Got to grandmaster in double up and won a tournament. Last set, 11, I got grandmaster in normal ranked, since finally decided to go for it. Set 7 was definetly my favorite, especially volibear.
This was my absolute favorite set so far. It was so exciting. I think I didnt really care or necessarily know about all the balancing issues because I only reached Diamond for the first time when Set 7 was close to ending, so I wasnt playing that competetively.
Ppl complain about "Mort glazers" when they see other ppl complement how fast the team react to feedback, but that Voli clip is the reason why all this started, ppl really just don't want to lose the communication, this connection, so they always do their best to complement the devs.
To be honest this was my favorite set especially the mid set with lagoon being my favorite Econ trait of all time. The dragons costing 7 per unit is kinda a problem and making every combo basically needing a tragic making normal 4-5 costs not as pivotal but the units were absolutely wonderful to play a round with wonderful and creative traits such as revel and shimmer to play around
Last good Set. Rest in peace my beloved. "Every time i played i was exited at what i could do" this describes set 6 and 7 ONLY, if only new tft players understood what we lost
I love this set. One of the most flexible. Legit you could make some many different comps with all the splashes. TFT is best this way, when it rewards creativity.
I liked 7.5 of this set. I loved Karma Jade and was the only time I got so OP I lost my mind with getting that 3 star Soraka randomly when I was 9 shimmerscale. It was magical
I know most people hate this set because of the terrible balance but the traits and comps were so fun. Elise carry was my fav tft comp of all time. Cavalier legends, ao shin, aurelion sol, revel, jade, shimmerscale... all of them were so fun
This set was so good there was a time where i was playing with a friend and forcing astral every game while it was strong and making my mate crazy it was so fun
The current TFT magic set has so many bugs RN too. No rewards from treasure armory sometimes, pathing issues, visual bug when you buy a champ too. Just to name a few
I think I played a lot of Volibear and Elise reroll comps in this set. I remember really liking the first half of this set but not really playing the second half (7.5).
The only set I did not like was fates, but probably because I wasn't ready for it. When remix rumble came out I actually loved it, even though it was arguably harder than fates.
Set 7 is a strange one. My least favourite set so far, but had my favourite unit of all time (Elise) for at least half of it, and was also the set I climbed the highest (Master 250lp). The main problem with this set was it was constantly plagued with balance and bug issues. The Aurelion Sol patch almost made me quit I was so frustrated. The stuff that was broken was always CRAZY broken. Set 7 also had a bunch of traits I did not like (Astral, Jade, and Scalescorn).
This was my first tft set and I still remember my first 1st place finish with twitch 3 star with guild. But man did I hate Aurelian sol to my bone when he buffed because it made positioning of your units obsolete
you forgot about one of the most opressive comps of the set and also one of the easiest (it remembers me of syndra on this set) and it was karma dragomancer + tempest with all 3 stars and low cost units. She has TONS of HP and pretty high dmg also she was on the front line and cleared everyboard, it was ridiculous
First set I hit masters in set 7 had a corki syfen comp that ended up beating the corki idas comp and 7.5 has mage nomsy when nomsy was a clickable unit and one of my favorite tft units of all time
I FUCKIN LOVE THE 3 COST REROLL UNITS THIS SET , VOLIBEAR ANIVIA LEGEND, DRAGONMANCER NUNU (MY BELOVED), RYZE INFINITE HADOUKEN, DEATH STACKING AD OLAF, SWAIN DRAVEN AXE RAGEBLADE ECON, BUNGEE JUMPER ELISE, GOD THIS SET WAS SO GOOD
It's nice to see what happened to set 7 before i started playing tft again in set 7.5 and then actually for real. Would love to see a follow up on seeing how stuff changed in set 7.5, like lagoon and darkflight stacking zekes infinitely. Did 4 dragons already exist in set 7 ? Cheers
Yeah it was called dragon horde, and it was a meta comp for a little bit. Basically an augment let you play all the dragons and you'd typically play 4 units - Sy'fen, SOY, Daeja and maybe Aoshin or Shyv
i absolutely loved guild, i played so much ryze reroll this set is still my favourite set! atleast before the 0.5 patch, i hated and still hate the 7.5 patch
@@Nomsynho YESSSS the set went from broken and messy diamond to broken and messy pile of shit😭🤣 the way they ruined the dragons by reducing their cost still breaks my heart😭 I hated the set 7.5 so much i actually stopped playing TFT
Even tho balance in this set was widely questioned, I absolutely loved that set and it will probably be my most favorite set ever. It was RNG af yes, but I loved it anyway.
I started playing TFT seriously during set 7. Though I've tried a few games back in set 4 and 5, there was no in-game instruction, which is why I struggled so hard and decided to quit. Yet set 7 came, giving me my first top 1 right in the first ever game of set 7 of mine. Guess what ? I chose to play Astral. Damn those memories really kicks in now.
I remember alot of controversy and uproar about this set. Which, understandable cuz this was the most experimental set, i'd say even till this day. The dragons broke the economy and balancing scale. Lots of new items. Lots unique game changing traits that doesn't just give your unit stats. Awesome interaction with emblem a unit to a dif trait. Astral was the best 2nd hyper roll trait ever made (nothing top punk, i'll die om this hill), shymmer scale was the best econ trait. And the unit abilities were more creative, doing more than just do damge or buff. Its not my favorite set but defo my most fond of. And the fact they started branching out and make their own characters is just a cherry on top. I think most of hate toward the set were just at the tail end when dragonmancer was just stupidly broken.
I feel like you omitted just how powerful and dominant guild xayah was for a majority of the set. There were times where it would be 6 way contested in my GM lobbies. Also revel xayah was a crazy interaction, if you remember that. In case you can’t tell, set 7 Xayah is my favorite unit of all time lol
i remember when this set came to PBE noone played shiohyu Wasn’t the flashiest dragon, jade was boring compared to other comps and i just spammed him lol was so fun
Set 7 is definitely up there with my favorite but it was definitely the most unbalanced set to play. the fact that reroll nidalee was nerfed somewhere over 4 times and still remained a viable comp to not just top 4 but top 1 in is crazy.
Spicy Hot take, I love the finishers. Just wish they weren't locked behind 500 dollar chibis lol. Feel like we could have a generic finisher for all the non-paid little legends.
