Quote From meisterz39

Or maybe there's room for something smaller in scope that would satisfy this - something like a "Build a custom class package" competition where you'd design something like six cards to support some new archetype. Then we can all see if we can come up with anything better than Freeze Shaman lol.

Sorry for bad Englesh.

I really like meisterz39's idea and I create this topic so this can see more people.

There is already exist a concept of creating a new class or addon. And I would like to participate in such a thing, but it requires a lot of time. On the idea, balance, search of art, etc.

In this regard, the creation of a small archetype has an advantage. Often there are any interesting card ideas that simply lack a little extra cards for existence.

I also did not come with empty hands and want to present you the toad shaman archetype.

Every now and then I play a few games in diamond on my phone to see if the metas shifted and to make predictions for how new card releases will impact things.

But as far as I can tell right now, nothing being released will stop the 60% Azir Irelia meta from being dominant unless there are "substantial" changes made to the decks mechanics.

Like you can match them 1 for 1 with drops and healing and you'll still loose pretty much every game due to their massive tempo advantage.

While Riot claims their internal statistics and matchup tables are "healthy" all I see on mobalitics is a few very dominant decks in the 55% winrate category and one straight up busted one in the 60% category.

As we enter July I guess we'll see if Riot gets the balls to start hard nerfing certain archetypes after all the player frustration but so far its been nothing but pussy footing around by the balance team.

Fizz Tf was literally a bundle of kittens compared to what it's like to play at high ranks these days.

From https://www.pcgamer.com/legends-of-runeterra-has-quietly-become-the-best-multiplayer-card-game/ :

League of Legends spin-off Legends of Runeterra was already a great card game when I first reviewed it last year. It borrows enough from Magic: The Gathering to be familiar, while also innovating with fantastic ideas like mana that can be banked for later turns and powerful Champion cards with unique abilities that also level up as a reward for playing to a specific strategy. But, hoo boy, has it changed a lot in the year since—and all for the better. It's gotten fantastic new game modes, hundreds of new cards with unique abilities, and a progression system that still is ridiculously generous. I just want to shout it from the rooftops: Legends of Runeterra is the best multiplayer card game. Flat out. 

I just saw that all boats like Leviathan or The Syren got a change from "summon" to "play".
I am just a casual but I play Swain really a lot so I wondered how much impact that has.

Can someone can explain to me the decisive difference or give some examples of why that matters?

THX

EDIT: Is it maybe that a "play" is faster than a "summon" and you e.g. get a Swain just for "playing" the Leviathan instead of having it "fully summoned" to the board?

Just gonna highlight a few of the interesting new cards

Has a home for sure, there are aggressive shadow lists that would rather have the nexus dmg over the draw 2

yeti tribal yes pls, hook a brother up

In my nightfall lists I would literally run the 1 mana aphelios card as a cheap activator so this inclusion is a no brainer

a good non blade dance scout activator very solid

Lurk is basically a good aggressive use for scrying in runeterra which hasn't existed yet, as the only person who still plays Zillian trust me I know. While I hate to see every mechanic be reduced to an aggressive creature based strategy, instead of doubling down on the control potential; I also understand the necessity in the turbo meta, if riot doesn't want to make substantial overhauls to design.

mostly pushes Azir mf and I'm fine with that

This is the control Ziillian tool I was looking for keep in mind every predict is a reshuffle and another chance at using this spell in conjunction with a time bomb

Everything else revealed so far strikes me as a little meme-tastic but I want to hear your thoughts in the comments
