What makes a TFT account different from a generic LoL account
TFT runs on the same Riot account as League of Legends. But ranked queues are independent. If you are buying for TFT specifically, these are the things to look at:
- TFT-rank tier — the rank displayed in Convergence client. Independent from Summoner's Rift rank.
- Tactician (Little Legend) collection — Battle Pass exclusives like Hauntling, Furyhorn, Featherknight have been locked once the Battle Pass closed.
- Hidden TFT MMR — built through Ranked TFT matches. New TFT-only accounts start at default MMR; pre-played TFT accounts inherit hidden MMR that smooths placement.
- Arena skins — purely cosmetic but expensive (limited-edition Arenas like Choncc Dome can't be repurchased).
- Companion booms — premium emote sets tied to specific Tacticians.
