Should I avoid playing popular comps in TFT?

Not necessarily. Popular comps like Blacksmith/Harvester (1.0% pick rate) are popular for a reason—they're strong. However, when multiple players contest the same comp, everyone's placement suffers. Scout your lobby early. If 2+ players are forcing the same comp, pivot to alternatives to avoid fighting for units.
