Why Is Teamfight Tactics (TFT) So Popular?

by Falagar / Articles, Teamfight Tactics / 07 Jul 2019

Teamfight Tactics is a new entry in a new game genre: Auto Chess. The original Auto Chess entry was released in January 2019. Since then, it’s seen a huge rise in popularity. The simple and engaging gameplay of the genre rewards both skill and game knowledge but also allows for luck and the use of clever strategies to secure victory. This makes it appealing for players of all abilities.

As a multiplayer game that doesn’t demand split-second decision-making or god-like actions per minute (APM), autobattlers are easy to play.

In TFT, Riot has leveraged its sizeable existing cast of characters (champions) as pieces or units in the game and using its current League of Legends player base as its beta testers. With these resources, they can release frequent updates, while remaining strategically interesting, yet simple enough that even a first-time player has the potential for victory.
