Do you still benefit from ASIs when using True Polymorph?

Question

I've seen references to feats being retained when you are transformed via True Polymorph. Are ability score increases (ASIs) also kept? If not, that would seem to make feats a strictly better choice if you're aiming to be True Polymorphed.

If you are talking about ASIs you've already earned then all your ability scores get replaced (regardless of ASIs):

The target's game Statistics, including mental Ability Scores, are replaced by the Statistics of the new form.

Feats also do not carry over with True Polymorph. Just a heads up.

It's worth adding that Feats also do not carry over when True Polymorphed, so whatever references ToryArashi read were mistaken – Temp Dec 05 '17 at 21:05
I think he meant to reference shapeshift – Pliny Dec 06 '17 at 15:34
