Hey guys, this might sound stupid but I just received an e-mail from Riot saying:
"Beta Season officially begins January 24, but since you’ve already pre-registered, you’ll be able to play the Legends of Runeterra open beta a day early. Access will be granted starting at 11:00 AM PST on January 23 and roll out over the next few hours. "
It doesn't say anywhere on which platform that is. I have pre-registered on my Android device. Does the open beta start for the PC only or also for Android?
Holy shit, I am triggered as hell right now. Salty AF.
I've been playing Token Druid to rank 3, 5 stars. I kept losing to Galakrond Rogue however, so I decided to give that deck a try. Long story short: I am now rank 4, 3 stars.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I'm losing against Token Druid, Galakrond Warrior, Highlander Galakrond Rogue, Quest Hunter and even all the mirror matches. I've won only ONE game in the last 8 and that was against some weird Overload Shaman build.
Best moment of the day was Galakrond drawing 4 0-mana cards, of which THREE!!!! were 0-mana to begin with. My god.
I think it'd be kinda bull if it's not that but I was otherwise right (assuming I am right), since I solved the riddle but I'd be giving the answer to the next person who comments. Just sayin'. There's a reason I did my base covering.
The Open Beta begins in less than 10 hours for players who pre-registered and who played in previews so I wanted to write some advices here for who couldn't follow news and couldn't play in previews.
Firstly, here is the countdown if you want to check how much times left to release.
Don't forget it is open beta state - There might be more aggressive tweaks/nerfs/buffs on cards so be cautious to craft cards and be cautious to choose your starting Region.
Firstly, You will play tutorial and Prologue and game will give you these starter decks;
Deck ID Not Found Deck ID Not Found Deck ID Not Found
If you want, you can build some decks with these cards but for some time before some rewards, They will be ok while you are learning the game's mechanics.
After your prologue, it probably chooses Noxus for your region. If you want to change it, you can change it in regions tab.
Choose your region according to what you like to play. I mean, The Archetypes. Don't choose it for its power in my opinion because there might be some aggressive tweaks in a month because it is beta. If you want to go for aggro, you may choose Noxus or Shadow Isles, If you like combo style more, try Ionia or Piltover&Zaun, there are some fancy combo opportunities in Shadow Isles and Demacia (Fiora)as well but the other two has more resources for it, If you like control you can choose Shadow Isles or Freljord, Midrange is best with Demacia but all of the regions have great Midrange canditates except Piltover&Zaun, and lastly if you want ramp style Freljord will be your choice.
Also try to get 8 level in every region instead of focusing only one. There are Champion Capsules as a reward at 8th level for every region. It will also help you to collect some rares and commons of every region and you might build more efficient decks.
After you choose your region to start, it is time to play !
Weekly Vaults will be your main source to collect cards with your regional rewards and it will give you Expedition token if you reach 10+ level. With Open Beta, There will be also a free Expedition token at start. Don't forget to play your Expeditions with your token because up to 3 Expedition runs, you will get 1x Champion wildcard. Weekly, it will give you 3x Champion Wildcards if you play all. There will be no rewards unfortunately if you play your 4+ Expedition run.
Weekly Vaults will be reset at Tuesdays so play as much as you can until tuesday to be able to open at least level 10 Vault. Maximum Vault level is 13 but doing just daily quests will give you 10 level Vault according to what Riot said us.
You will be given experience points also for your losses until 20 lose and wins will give you experience until 30 wins. If you reach the cap, Play some AI games because AI games will also give you experience points and their experience points are seperated from versus player experience points. I really liked this because it makes us more happy to try some of our shitty decks on AI and we will get rewarded to doing so!
It will be like;
PvP - 30 wins - 20 Losses
PvAI - 20 wins - 10 losses
There will be no experience points after this moment. Only extra experience poins different from these are Expedition run's bonus experience so;
I recommend you to play all(3) Expeditions until Tuesday to be able to collect champion cards. It will be also wiser even you don't like draft mode because it costs only 4000k Shards which Champion Wildcards is also same cost and it is guaranteed to get a champion card even you lose your drafts and Expedition runs will give you bonus experience points when you finish them.
If you will buy wildcards with coins, don't hurry to craft some champions. Wait for a bit, because;
1- You might regret after a while
2- You might get what you want from Capsules (i'm saying this but there is no-duplicate rule in Runeterra for Champion cards and Epic Cards. The reason I'm saying this, You might want to save those Wildcards for future.
3- If you can be patient for 4 months and you are planning to buy all of the wildcards as you can in next weeks, you can save 48 champion wildcards for next expansion and that means total of 16 x3 champion wildcards. You can craft whichever champion you want from next expansion ! You just need to be patient and play like a f2p player at start while you are stacking those wildcards. Be Patient !
And don't take it serious but don't craft Teemo at start !
No, I'm serious ! Don't do that !
I am saying this because almost all people are planning to play hyper/normal aggro at first day and all of Teemo decks are vulnerable against aggro sadly except Full Elusive deck without puffcap cards.
There will be also some account statistics with deck tracker if you open an account on Mobalytics. Noone tried the decktracker yet so noone knows how it will be but it is the only one I know.
This is meant to have synergy with "sacrifice" effects like Unwilling Sacrifice, EVIL Genius and Grim Rally. Also works with board clears you play, assuming the necromancer survives.
Wouldn't it be faster to skip the armor part and use a life drinker?
He summons a bunch of Molten Giants and I really just had the idea of fatiguing him. The Molten Giants will eventually become so numerous they they'll do 56 damage in a single turn, so trying to heal a bunch only works so much.
You could always try using Glacial Shard to freeze everything, but Shudderwock will sometimes target enemies who are already frozen.
New Paladin Minion - Scalelord
Is murloc paladin happening on ladder right now? I haven't seen any. This card could bring it back, I suppose.
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Correct! I would’ve probably given you the win anyway, just wanted to clarify
unreleased are discoverable
According to Feno, un-realeased cards are also gifted in the arena rewards, and are playable. If this is true, it's worse than laziness...
unreleased are discoverable
why does it fits?
Open beta platform???
I think it's only for PC but I'm not sure
New Bomb Warrior
Write this in the Deck desciption then...
Highlander Galakrond Priest
win condition? seems like it's a control struggle, with either minor value from galakrond or hoping DQ Alex can pull a win.
I dunno - Sell me this deck, I like the priest galakrond and want to see it do well. Why is this deck good?
unreleased are discoverable
Yeah I got Rotnest Drake out of a Dragonqueen Alexstrasza - that was a nice surprise!
unreleased are discoverable
There's an unspoken rule that goes by this: "when a bug is not removed, it becomes a game feature".
I personally think that it perfectly fits what is happening with the cards from the 3 remaining wings.
Open beta platform???

Some Advices for 1st Day and Week of Open Beta

New Druid Minion - Winged Guardian
This card is NOT ok
People should not run ysera unleashed in this deck saw many lists running it.. the deck has too many 6 and 7 drops as is..
The Amazing Reno
What do you suppose Highlander Mage cuts to put in The Amazing Reno? Alex?
unreleased are discoverable
You can discover cards that are not released yet.. dunno if it was intended or not but turns out it's possible.
Do you think it's a bug? or just lazy design from blizzard
Kriziki has wings!
Cool.
Now let's go murder her.
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Refreshment Vendor, I suppose.
I think it'd be kinda bull if it's not that but I was otherwise right (assuming I am right), since I solved the riddle but I'd be giving the answer to the next person who comments. Just sayin'. There's a reason I did my base covering.
Some Advices for 1st Day and Week of Open Beta
Hello Guys !
The Open Beta begins in less than 10 hours for players who pre-registered and who played in previews so I wanted to write some advices here for who couldn't follow news and couldn't play in previews.
Firstly, here is the countdown if you want to check how much times left to release.
LoR Early Launch

Don't forget it is open beta state - There might be more aggressive tweaks/nerfs/buffs on cards so be cautious to craft cards and be cautious to choose your starting Region.

And last ! There is already a deck tracker here;
Deck Tracker
There will be also some account statistics with deck tracker if you open an account on Mobalytics. Noone tried the decktracker yet so noone knows how it will be but it is the only one I know.
Well, I've finished now. Don't forget to check Open Beta Patch Notes and Open Beta Economy Updates !
Also, if you have any other advices, feel free to share here.
Good luck on your run and See you in Runeterra in 10 hours !
Here's some art, make a card! [Legacy Game]
This is meant to have synergy with "sacrifice" effects like Unwilling Sacrifice, EVIL Genius and Grim Rally. Also works with board clears you play, assuming the necromancer survives.
