    I'm very intrigued by a new physical card game, and from Riot of all people. Legends of Runeterra was a cool game, but it just missed the mark, which is quite clear when you witness the decline of the game.

    Collectibility is something Riot is very good at digitally, so seeing them transition to over to cardboard will be interesting. Secondary markets are immediately going to pick the game up because it has a titan behind it, and Riot's dedication to supporting events and competitive play all over the world makes it a worthwhile investment if you love competition.

    We didn't get to really see mechanics or very many cards in full yet, so it'll be interesting to see what information they show us about the game as we approach the Macau TeamFight Tactics tournament, where a demo will be available at the event. Also, Arcane-themed pre-order next year? Super cool idea!

    I'll just copy-paste what I said in the article.

    Welp, RIP Legends of Runeterra. I ended up dropping you off, but you put out a valiant effort. You ended up doing better than any Hearthstone contender would've ever dreamed of doing. I'm not gonna say that the game is going to go unsupported now, but it feels incredibly impractical to manage both a digital card game, and an entirely different physical card game.

    Which also begs the question as to why they're trying to go into the physical card game market. Getting a successful physical card game is extremely hard because the genre is monopolized by the three TCG overlords that owe a lot of their existence to the fact that they were there first. Flesh and Blood has seen some pretty good success and Lorcana has been holding its ground alright, so it's not impossible, but most card games end up dropping out of market after a year or two. I guess if there's a chance, people will take it.

    The way the cards are designed visually also looks a bit off since the non-hero cards just have this white space of nothingness on them. I realize this is still in development, so we might be looking at early versions of the card design and this isn't the final product, but it'd be really weird if it is. It feels as if part of it is still a blank sheet of paper, which make it feel a bit lifeless.
