By completed I mean still missing 4 epics (I know I said not to open classic packs but I opened one just cause opening packs is fun).

And I got 100 gold, I didn't screenshot it, I know I am not the first to point that out.. but I wonder.. what the developer who implemented the reward thought to himself back in 2013.. I play since 2014 it took me 6 years to finally have a copy of every single classic card and I am not even a F2P player,

There could be a collector card back or maybe a hero portrait to have for getting the full classic set but nope, 100 gold.

Do their effect count for puffcaps? They are technically spells. They just have lingering effects that could last long after the Funsmith or Keg is gone.

Just a friendly reminder that you can get 2 card packs free today by "watching" twitch

Hopefully there will be a main page article reminder, but at time of posting there isn't and it's only a few hours to go.  So don't forget as it's only a 12 hour window to get 4 hours of watching done.

And good luck with your packs!!!!!!  If you get something good I encourage you to share it below :)

Do they reset your rank every season? What is new about every season?

As it stands now the  Neverglade Collector feels slightly over tuned and far exceeds the Phantom Prankster.

I think what they should do is make it so he only heals the nexus 1 for every death. Not drain. That way it tones him down and makes for phantom prankster to become a viable option. Like if you are looking to push out burn damage you would pick Prankster. But if you need more sustain through healing you would pick the collector.

As of right now the collector does both so why would you ever pick the prankster?

Enemy plays a 6 mana 14/14 with Overwhelm. If you try to block it you die because of Overwhelm. If you try to remove it with say, Will of Ionia, enemy atrocities and you die. 

The effective answers to this combo are quiet rare (frostbite?).. Why is my enemy able to spawn a 6 mana 14/14 with overwhelm again?

Either They Who Endure should NOT have Overwhelm (cause a 6 mana XX/XX it's good enough on its own, it doesn't need overwhelm on top of that) , or the mana costs should be tweaked so that you cannot play it along side Atrocity on the same turn. I rather have the first one.

Competition Theme: D-A-M-A-G-E

Do we need to spell things out for you? We already did that in the competition name...

• You must create a card which has or synergises with Spell Damage
  • 'Synergy' should be explicit. Fireball does not count; Arcane Blast does

Wassculaire is looking for us to improve some spells this week - what do you mean not all spells deal damage?

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

just discovered there is a new twitch prime reward !

I'd like to know where most players are at and where I stand. As of right now I'm dancing between plat 3 and 2.

So, does anyone know when the Battlegrounds will be considered out of beta stage? It's been around for a while with several updates, and I'm wondering what stage it has to be at to be considered "finished and fully released". 

I keep losing many games of LoR, purely because of wrongly understanding what cards do. It's so easy to get confused by complicated, contradictory, inconsistent and ambiguous text; it's worrisome to think how new and more casual players experience the game and how they get into it, at all.

For example: Riptide Rex. How the hell that card works? I spent half an hour reading the text, on google... experienced it 20 times, played it 20 times myself... still I don't get it what's happening there. Where dmg goes? 

Statikk Shock. Who is "an enemy" who is not "enemy Nexus", and who is "another"? And how much dmg goes... where? I studied logic from Aristotle to Kripke, and I have never experienced a sentence constructed like that one. 

I remember from before - if you remove Commander Ledros... or Chempunk Shredder, their effects (Skill) would trigger regardless. But when I played [Hearthstone Card (Devourer of the Depths) Not Found] today and my opponent Vengeance him, his Skill didn't trigger afterwards? Why? Why is it suddenly different? 

Can Vladimir Crimson Pact an 1hp minion? Can you get Vlad's effect from a minion who is going to die from it?

What about "I've seen" effect? A champion needs to be on the bench. Ok. But what if he dies after completing just 75% of the effect? Is everything reset, or not?

These are just the most representative examples.

when it will be ? I read somewhere that it was on Thursday this week instead than the usual Tuesday ... Tks

I was playing on my PC earlier today, when the game stopped, and then it showed this message I put in the title. I have tried a couple of things to solve this problem, however, none proved to be successful. Those were:

- Reinstalled the game.

-Tried to open the app as administrator.

Fortunately, I was able to finish and win the game using my phone, but I really want to play on my computer.

Once some time ago some person mentioned somewhere that Totems might become a tribe in Battlegrounds one day. The thought really excited me so for the past few hours I have been theorizing what it might look like.

Totems by themselves generally don't do too much. They are inanimate objects after all. Totems have higher Health and lower Attack than the average minion, and most of them have some other ability to make them relevant in combat. They do take some time to get going as all of their most powerful synergy cards are in tiers 5 and 6, but they have a lot of potential.

Without further ado, lets get into the cards!

What do you think? Is the flavor good? Is it well balanced? Could it be competitive? And does Totem of the Elements have too many stats? (I went back and forth a lot about that).

I'm posting to flag up a scammer on the 80g Quest Trading thread: LethalDans, battletag Lethalblow#2453.

This user is blacklisted on the Hearthpwn trading thread, and has multiple posts on our trading thread in a short space of time, each of which has been downvoted several times.

I've pmed a mod, but just wanted to flag this up in the meantime, in case anyone is tempted to trade with this user.

A lot of people are struggling with elusive decks and Heimer who also just makes infinite exclusives.

Was the solution easier than we think, just run all of the damage and healing effects with kegs, like people did when rising tides first dropped.

This is the great thing about Legends Of Runterra, things are so balanced that you can play off meta lists and still do well.

Deck ID Not Found

Hi everyone,

I’m having a hard time figuring out the rules behind negating attacks through sacrificing your own cards.  For example, I was blocking a card with a 2/1, and transfusioned it to buff up another defender.  I thought it would leave behind that little shell to signify that the attack would be negated, but it didn’t.  IIRC, other sacrifice mechanics work just fine, like kill an ally to draw 2.  Is there a general rule of thumb to preventing attacks through sacrifice?  Does it have to be a non-burst speed?  Can it not be dmg dealing cards, like transfusion, but must kill it instead?

thank you all!

I had Khadgar and a Pack Leader. When I summoned beasts, every other one got the +3 attack twice. Played Alleycat, got a 4/1, a 4/1 and a 7/1. Played Rat Pack, and when it died, summoned a 4/1, a 7/1, a 4/1 and a 7/1. No reason for Pack Leader to buff the same minion twice, right?

Most of the time if you throw back a few cards its fine but when you are throwing back just one card the system fudges up. The chances are insanely high that you will end up getting the exact same card back if you only muligan one away. Over many many games I have tested it and like close to 80% of the time you get the same exact card back. Unless of course you only have the one. But if you have two there is a good chance you will get it back. If you have 3 its damn near a guaranty. If you have three don't even bother trying to muligan it.

Oh and if it does get you something different you can bet that card will pop back up within the next one or two draws anyway.  

Like MTG. With a max of like 10 cards you can swap in or out at the start of a match once you see their champions/regions. The side boards would be limited to only none champions and spells and you can't change your region combo either or add one if your using a mono deck.

Swim gave some advice on one of his streams which sounds like good advice, but I'm unsure how to use it properly. He said; in the lower tiers like plat and below the game is about getting the most value out of your cards. Like attacking when you have a good opening, but in the higher ranks value starts taking a back seat to probability. For example; there is an opening you can use to deal some good damage to the enemy. Now you have to ask yourself; what is the probability he has something in hand that could either stop it or put you at a disadvantage in the next round? If so. What is it? How could you play around it? If you do play around it; will it make a difference?

He said that's why you sometimes see master level players making moves that don't seem to provide much value at first glance, but that's because they are most likely trying to either play around something they think the other guy has, or they are trying to give themselves an advantage in the next round or two.

Well I'm reaching that point where you have to shift from value to probability because I'm stuck at plat 1. How do you make that change in mindset? 

Hey guys

I thought I'd take the time to outline the optimal way to grow your card collection in Legends Of Runterra without spending a cent.

So you can get the most out of your first month playing the game.

Tip 1 - Week 1 Rewards

The only thing you need to know here is that you get two copies of Ash, two copies of Zed, two copies of elise and jinx for free therefore you are heavily encouraged to craft other champions than these because you'll naturally get your 3rd copy in weekly vaults, and region rewards.

Tip 2 - Region Rewards

At first you are going to want to level each region to 12 using the 1.5 xp boost. Then you want to stick to 1 region and level it to 23 which is when you unlock your last champion capsule. Doing this you should be able to have every region leveled up half way, and 3 regions level to max in a month.

Tip 3 - Optimizing XP Gains Vs Time

Your average day will involve finishing your quests you have piled up, getting your pvp xp boosts for 1 or 2 games, if you haven't hit your desired region reward by that point, finish the tutorials or just afk grind loss xp, multitask while you just concede this will net you fast rewards.

Tip 4 - Save Your Dust

In legends champions are king, you'll be swimming in wildcards of every other rarity in no time so make sure that you are saving up 3000 shards for that free champion once a week, on top of your weekly vault and lucky upgrades you could have up to 5 champion cards in a single day.

Tip 5 - Have Fun

The key to being successful at free to play is understanding that you need to bide your time before making your ranked climbs especially if you refuse to net deck, I got to be a diamond player in arena using this mindset, so patience is key. Just have fun before you pick a list to try hard with.

I had the idea that Battlegrounds could have Anomalies that would change up gameplay, similar to the Dalaran Heist adventure. Each game, 1 random Anomaly would be selected and shown to players before they pick their hero that changes up gameplay and requires players to adjust their strategy. With Anomalies and rotating minion pools, each Battlegrounds game could feel like a unique puzzle! Here are some of my ideas of what the Anomalies could be:

Clarification: The anomalies that change how minions attack still respect Taunt.

So what do you all think about the idea of Anomalies? Would they help make Battlegrounds more fresh and fun, or would they just cause confusion?
