Teamfight Tactics

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article for a game I play often, which is a video game with a large online community that discusses, livestreams, watches, and plays the game. The auto battler genre of games has grown in the past 3 years, since the release of Dota Auto Chess, and Teamfight Tactics is the most well-known due to its associations with League of Legends. An accurate article about the game is therefore necessary to support a growing amount of coverage and awareness about the game.

My first impression of the article was that a very significant number of descriptions about the gameplay lacked citations, and due to this some were outdated and incorrect. Most of the information is intact, but some of it is confusing and could use examples to clarify certain terms and features.

Lead Section
The introductory sentence is concise and accurate. The lead lacks an overview of the article's sections. The lead, overall, is clear and describes the subject well.

Content
The content of the article is relevant and mostly accurate. However, several improvements could be made.

First, the article is lacking media and images that could significantly contribute to understanding and clarity of certain topics under the gameplay section. Additionally, some claims made about gameplay are false, due to a lack of cited sources. Finally, some content is out of date -- for example, the Hyper Roll game mode is mentioned, but other game modes are not. In the same way, it is confusing that Hyper Roll is mentioned as a TFT game mode but TFT itself is referred to as a League of Legends game mode.

Tone and Balance
The tone of the article is neutral and it does not encourage any particular bias.

Sources and References
Because primary sources are deemed inappropriate for this article (as mentioned on the talk page), it can be difficult to find descriptive claims about gameplay from third-party sources. Many of the claims surrounding gameplay lack sources. Therefore, as the game has changed, some claims have become outdated. It is hard to track which of these claims are outdated and which are not because of a significant dearth of citations.

Organization and Writing Quality
The organization of the page could be improved. There are some elements described under the gameplay heading that could be moved to another section, as there is a distinction between what actually occurs in a game of Teamfight Tactics and descriptions of how the game gets updated periodically. A division of the gameplay section into subsections would assist with clarity here. The writing quality is effective in describing the development of the game but could be more clear on topics in gameplay.

Images and Media
The page lacks images and media and would significantly benefit from them. Images could include an example of what the interface looks like (which would include interface elements of the shop, rerolling the shop, current level, purchasing experience points, and the rates of units per rarity), a picture of the board and its hexagonal design, a video of a combat occurring, a picture of the "computer-controlled enemies," and the Carousel feature.

Talk page discussion
There is contention on the talk page about TFT's relationship to League of Legends -- whether it occurs in the same universe or is a spinoff. There is also some discussion about the necessity for reliable sources when adding more information about certain elements of gameplay.

Overall impressions
The article is largely incomplete and in need of significant improvements. While many elements of gameplay are detailed accurately, there is a lack of reliable sources for these claims. Therefore, there are a few instances of outdated information that cannot be easily identified. Additionally, some topics in gameplay are unclear. This could be corrected with images and with better organization in this section. Overall, the article is a fine start to describing the game but is underdeveloped compared to other articles on games, such as information on competitive tournaments for the game, for instance.
