Rally Keyword - Looks like Riot may have removed attacking on opponent's turns?
EDIT : If you check the comments Swim (video poster with keyword) clears this up, its just a compression of the text which was already there!
It looks like the 'ready your attack' card text has either been condensed to a this new 'rally' keyword, or perhaps the function of the cards which used to do this have been fundamentally changed.
I have a guess given the change to the player board (you don't see empty attack tokens on the defending player's board) that rally may just allow multiple attacks on the turn of a player who is attacking.
Personally I'm not a big fan of that change if it happens. Being able to attack on opposing turns was one of the really deep aspects of the game and an especially important thing to play around, given that it could often swing aggro races.
What do you guys thing this new keyword does, do you think it is just a formalized keyword for the old effect?

Hey there! We didn’t change the way attacking works at all from the previews. We did simplify the UI and a couple of the leaked screenshots don’t show all the UI which is a bummer.
