TFT player baits community with “forced bedtime feature” to prevent late night grinds

A Teamfight Tactics player pretending to be lead dev Mortdog baited the community with a new “forced bedtime feature” which will automatically prevent them from playing at night, ensuring everyone gets a good night of rest.

Riot’s popular auto battler Teamfight Tactics has to be one of the most addictive games available. Rolling for units to create the perfect army and watching them battle it out is an incredibly satisfying feeling, even more so when you manage to beat out the rest of the competition.

This is particularly true when it comes to grinding out the ranked ladder for the game, as players can spend hours upon hours trying their best to reach the top of the ranked ladder. The most committed of these players are the ones who stay up late at night, grinding away in the ranked queues.

It’s these ranked gremlins who were the most surprised when a parody post went viral on Twitter, made by fake Mortdog account RiotMort.

We want to make sure TFT is being enjoyed responsibly.

So we will be adding a forced bedtime feature to the game.

Everyone should be in bed by 10 and get a minimum of 8 hours of sleep.

To enforce this TFT will now shut down between 9:45 PM and 7 AM local time.

Sweet dreams.

TFT players baited into believing new “bedtime feature”

The Mort clone took to Twitter to announce one of the biggest changes coming to Teamfight Tactics, the “forced bedtime feature.”

This new feature will enforce a shutdown from the hours of 9.45 pm to 7 am local time, essentially reducing the playable hours to only the daytime. Now players will be forced to maintain a decent sleep schedule in order to catch their daily hours of Teamfight Tactics.

“Everyone should be in bed by 10 and get a minimum of 8 hours of sleep,” the post ordered.

Many players were devastated to hear the news, with some stating that the change had just nerfed Teamfight Tactics. Some asked if the announcement was a joke, which the parody account cryptically responded to with a “JK… unless?”

Since this account isn’t the actual Mortdog, Teamfight Tactics players can thank their lucky stars they’re still able to stay up and late night grind on TFT.
