While we're at it complaining about all the stuff Blizzard has messed up over the years, I'd like to add my own little piece to the pile: Hero Power borders.

It really is beyond me how they can offer new Hero skins on a regular basis without giving us a platinum / diamond / whatever Hero Power border for 1.000 wins.

Lots of players have invested incredible amounts of time to reach that mark and thus by all means earned their bragging rights. So why is it so hard to do the same effing thing as they do at 500 wins and give us a new Hero Power border on top of the in some cases horrible portrait? I am very proud of my 1.000 Hunter wins, but I'd very much prefer to play with Sylvanas than dumb face Rexxar.

So yeah, this is a minor issue for most players, but I'd really like to have a 1.000 wins Hero Power border.

Hi all,

I have a complete former classic collection and I am only missing 4 legendaries from the former Hall of Fame.

I would like to buy the classic bundle.

Will I receive 2 of the 4 missing legendary cards right away? And, the rest, from opening my approx. 60 packs (by chance, of course)?

An official source link/confirmation would be absolutely great :)

I am asking this because I know there have been all kinds of problems in the last few days.

Thx a lot for reading :)

With the new expansion I started to focus on EKKO builds.
This is my most conistent and enjoyable list so far:

https://outof.cards/legends-of-runeterra/decks/14362-ekkozilean-steampunk-blaster

Which EKKO builds are "hot" right now?
Which ones worked for you?
I find it "hard" to play with EKKO. The concept works and is strong but besides some "high roll fun" most of my Ws really needed to be earned
and were clutch as f****.

BBG is also a committed "EKKO player" now but struggles a lot to find the right balance.
Like "is it KAHIRI or RUIN RUNNER?", "is it SIVIR?", "DROPBOARDER or not?", "ITERATIVE IMPROVEMENT or just a nice 3drop?"

The META is still yound and so far no one has really find that one recipe "to rule them all"?
What do you guys play?

Do we know when the expansion will be launched / reveal will start?

Competition Theme: Wake Me Up Before You Go

What card ideas lay dormant for this week's theme, just waiting to be uncovered?

• You must create a card which uses the Dormant mechanic
  • We've seen a few different iterations of this mechanic now, from The Darkness to Lucentbark to Imprisoned Observer

This week grumpymonk wants to see some Dormant cards... eventually, anyway. Hopefully they wake up soon!

As always, I can be reached through Discord or here on the site via PM if you have any issues to report.

Straight from the region statistics.

The 3 top decks are turbo thralls, LeBlanc sivir, and pirate aggro.

So typically when we see decks with high winrates like these but relatively low play rates.

The meta is very healthy.

While these decks might statistically be doing well right now, people aren't really playing them in any number to be concerned of.

It also means nobody has attempted to counter these decks yet, meaning what we are really seeing is early climbers blitzing ladder before people can adjust 

Other good news signs, Azir Irelia is down to a 50/50 winrate which sounds right given its supposed to be a "combo" deck.

Honestly, still feeling very optimistic about things overall.

I don't remember hearing this anywhere so I'm curious if anyone knows.  When you use the tradeable effect does the card draw a random card and then shuffle into your deck, or is it placed on the bottom of the deck?  It doesn't really specify on the HS website either, just saying "Cards with the Tradeable keyword can be played like normal, or traded with a random card in your deck for the low price of 1 Mana.".  Thought that maybe it literally trades places with a card in your deck at random instead of shuffling, which if so could be interesting with Lorekeeper Polkelt in the game...  But likely not since I think the game doesn't predetermine deck order and just picks a card at random to be the card you draw (unless you've played Polkelt).

So has anyone seen a Twitter post, or some other clarification out there from a dev?  Since it doesn't specify that it goes to the bottom of the deck I'm going to assume it shuffles in, as the HS team's attitude on text the last 2-3 years has shifted to not always clarifying unless the effect does something different than expected.

Honor in Vainglory Custom Set by FenrirWulf

9 Champions, 12 Cards from each region (Without tokens)

Small notice: I realized that the visuals are too big so now the card texts are too blurry. Sorry about that... You can try to open the image on a new tab if you want to inspect it closely.

Piltover & Zaun

 Skye is an elusive Sniper who specializes in dancing around her enemies using her agile mechanized armor and her exceptional piloting skills while shredding them with her advanced weaponry. Enemies marked by her attacks will find themselves at the mercy of her combined maneuverability and destructiveness.

Shurima

Idris is a flexible and adaptive Assassin/Sniper who is able to switch between melee or ranged attack depending on the path he chose. His agility allows him to float at the edge of combat or dive right into the enemy backlines while artfully tearing up his enemies with his spear and chakram. Ever-elusive, he constantly shimmers between incorporeality and physical forms, making him tough to catch.

Ionia

Blackfeather is a brave and bold Duelist able to topple even the greatest foes with his sharpened blade and irresistible charm. His brazen nature is complemented by his thirst for insurmountable duels and skills to back up his confidence. However, his flaunting arrogance tends to lead to unfavorable outcomes.

Demacia

Lance is a headstrong Defender who resolutely shields his allies away from danger. His gilded armor and combat expertise combined allows him to survive combat after combat without batting an eye. Yet he does not lack emphasis on offense, as his trusty lance strikes at the enemy formation.

Noxus

Glaive is a bloodthirsty Brawler who relies heavily on his sense of smell. His rocket-powered glaive makes sure that his enemies don't get out of his sight… uhh smell. Fierce and domineering, he capitalizes on the slightest hint of weakness from his enemies, setting them up for inevitable doom.

Bilgewater

Phinn is both the unstoppable force and the immovable object fitting for his role as a Support. His perseverance and indomitable will makes him a much more annoying foe to fight than most. Harmless he may appear at first glance, but the anchor he carries around can turn the tides of battle as he can literally pull the fight towards him from unsuspecting locations.

Shadow Isles

Churnwalker is the boogeyman of the twisted mists called the Churn. As a Support, he hooks and chains people, sharing their suffering amongst one another and invigorating himself through it. His presence inspires palpable fear, and his incoherent ramblings mark his identity as a madman that is no longer human, but as a creature that should not be trifled with, l’est they plunge headfirst into endless torment.

Targon

Celeste is a Mage who can will the stars to existence or shape them by her design. She commands the flow of the battle by continuously casting her spells, raining stars on foes from a safe distance. To add insult to injury, recasting stars on existing ones causes them to explode, solidifying her limitless potential to control the battlefield, leading her foes towards an inescapable fate.

Freljord

Reim is a defensive Mage/Brawler who manipulates ice to slow down his opponents. It’s hard to surmise him as a frail old man when his overpowering chilling strength is no laughing matter. Just like the everlasting winter, he outlasts them in the cold, as the encroaching frost creeps up onto his enemies, leading them to their slow but sure death.

All the card arts here are from their game itself and their game website except for one which I deliberately had to take from a fanart as there was no other appropriate art for it. (Credits to that specific art here: https://kasiaslupecka.artstation.com/projects/n8Oo9)

https://lor.mobalytics.gg/stats/archetypes

1. Deep has a 56 percent winrate suggesting in the right hands it will work just as well as turbo thralls, this is great the deck used to be unplayable

2. Discard aggro at a 55 percent winrate suggesting the nerf to rumage didn't really hurt it

3. Shurima overwhelm needs a deck list update, but is still hitting 57 percent

4. Thresh Nasus obviously, only got hit on it's aggro lines of play 55 percent

5. Leblanc Sivir , very scary now thanks to the new treasure seeker 58 percent

Honestly, these winrates would be top tier in any other meta and things are so balanced

We're just splitting hairs at this point...

I stopped playing it for some time because of it. Up until today that is. I try the mode again today and the same thing happens, again! Its completely rigged at the end. Things are completely fair and balanced up until you get to that last match. Then 100% time, ever time. It will brick your hand and place you against an aggro deck.

I have got to that last match at least 10 times now and it does that. I pull all expensive crap or just useless spells and can't do anything until turn 4 or 5 and by then I'm already dead. I'm not joking. It's done it every single time. Not once have I had a fair match on the last one and have lost all of them because of it.

Fix the damn system!
