Ever since the rise of auto battlers, no other game has taken the world by storm quite like Teamfight Tactics (TFT). Based on the concept pioneered by the developers of Dota Auto Chess, a mod of Dota 2, Riot Games decided to create a similar game for League of Legends in 2019. The game plays players against seven other opponents to craft the best team that is the last one standing.
Teamfight Tactics is currently the 22nd most-watched game on Amazon's coveted streaming platform, with an average of 25,937 viewers. While there is no denying that this is a substantial drop since its inaugural months (the game hit a peak of 364,836 viewers in 2019), there still exists a dedicated community keeping the game from irrelevancy, unlike Dota Underlords.
Despite being based on a MOBA like League of Legends, auto battlers such as TFT don't feature the same steep learning curve and are often easier to pick up than the parent game. That being said, players familiar with the parent game might find it confusing to switch over to Teamfight Tactics, considering how certain legends have their roles altered. However, the following streamers should help you understand the game better and improve your gameplay in the process.
