Small thing I’d like to say that’s related to this clip:
Riot, I know the Puffcaps are slightly inspired by Hearthstone’s Bomb mechanic, and I am immensely grateful that Puffcaps don’t get a long animation of you drawing a Puffcap, an explosion, then another draw of Puffcaps, and actually did it in a kinda humorous way. I’d say my favorite part of LoR compared to HS is hands down the fact everything is infinitely snappier and so far doesn’t seem to have any weird action lag that locks you out of playing cards for a good 10 seconds. The win animation? 2 seconds. Combat? 3 seconds at most. No bloated animations or triggers or voicelines taking up time, just nice, lean pacing.
Love hearing that you're enjoying the snappiness, it's been a HUGE focus for the team. Shrooms is my favorite deck and I'm a big fan of the "shrooms attach to cards" mechanic the devs landed on. We definitely had some earlier versions that could get a little nightmarish -- at one point they'd do damage one by one AND the game wouldn't end until any drawn shrooms stopped resolving, so sometimes when you won your opponent would just be sitting there watching their life tick down one by one to -15. HILARIOUS the first time, not so much after that.
