So I was playing a Braum deck against a SI/Noxus aggro spiders and falling behind fast.  They played a Frenzied Skitterer, I figure: OK, sure they got buffed but my Braum went from 0/5 to 0/5 so no big deal.  I want to take some power off the board so on my turn I challenge the weakest spider, a 3/1, and I play Radiant Strike--except Braum only becomes a 0/6, so the spider lives.  :-(  Apparently, even though it said 0 attack, it appreciated that it should have been at -1 from the Skitterer so the attack portion of my buff cancelled out.  Quickly got overrun by fearsomes a few rounds later.

Just thought I would share that bit of experience.  

Just unlocked King Anduin and I'm glad they released rewards for 1000 wins, but I'm a little underwhelmed.
I was hoping there would be new voice lines and a unique entrance since it takes a lot to unlock these, what are your thoughts?

Maybe I'm just spoilt from playing with Tyrande!

I lost the game. I cry every time.

I don't know about you, but I think the UI is the part of Runeterra that needs the most work. Let's make a list of changes we'd like to see!

Throughout

• More decorative buttons would be nice; existing ones are very boxy and bland.
• Shards and Wildcards should be visible on all screens except during actual play.

Home screen

• Shouldn't Quests and Vault be under Rewards?
• Maybe instead fill this space with personalized stats of some kind, or just bigger versions of the sidebar menu buttons.
• Or possibly some media links to instructional videos, articles, popular deck lists?

Rewards screen

• As mentioned above, Quests and Vault should be here, with PvP Bonus in one corner.
• Upper right -- Percent complete is redundant with the level info already given in upper left. Instead, how about XP needed for next level?
• Hovering over progress bar at the bottom should show Current/Needed XP to level up.
• Clicking question mark under available reward should still give info, not open the reward as it currently does.

Play screen

• Option for a more compact deck list would be nice.

Collection screen

• I don't know why, but I feel like this should be listed before Play.
• Option for a more compact deck list would be nice.
• Loadouts should be saved per deck.
• Enable right-click Paste when importing a deck.
• Player should be able to set the art for each deck image. (Right now, it seems to default to the most powerful Champion in the deck.)
• Player should be able to set a default "favorite" board and guardian for when none is selected.
• There should be a Random option for all loadout components.
• Maybe also a "favorite" checkbox to control which components may appear when Random is selected.

Light rant incoming. 

The first week of the open beta, I barely had anything so I threw together my versions of the 3 starter decks (including exchanging Ionia/Zed for Noxus/Darius in the Jinx deck).  Lots of mismatched odds & ends that just happen to be around the right mana cost/function, right?  Ugly, but they win games--let's say 50-50.  And I'm not really one for fiddling with decks, so I just leave them.  So this week, I decide after my vault I'm going to go and revisit them and finally spend a few wildcards crafting a few essentials for my favorite, the Jinx deck.  I take out Darius and some of the 3-cost stuff and focus on discard-synergy, nexus damage, and cards that are easier to cycle for rockets--we can debate whether that's a good deck building strategy, but at least its *a* strategy, right?  And I go something like 1:5 that night.  So I figure maybe I'm just off or maybe its some unfavorable matchups; I try again this evening and again go like 0:3.  Then I swap back to my oddball Jinx deck and its like 2:1, and then I go to my oddball Braum/Garen deck and it goes like 2:1. 

It's like the harder I try in building the deck, the worse my games go.  My rationale brain realizes the aforementioned is very poor sample size and that there was an inherent trade-off building so heavily around Jinx--all the same, though, my emotional brain is saying that to just forgot about deck building and keep playing the crappy oddball decks until they break entirely.  :-P

Scuttlegeist

It sure looks like one. It even synergizes with Spider synergy (chump tokens that die so you can play a 5/5 on the cheap). So why isn't it? Is it because it's a Ghost Spider? I know this sounds like another Ghostly Charger debate but this one actually seems significant, I can understand if it's just a gameplay balance thing because this card would actually be significantly better as a Spider (whereas for Ghostly Charger, it really doesn't matter either way, Beast Tag does nothing for Paladin) but in that case, couldn't they just replace the art with something blatantly less spidery? It just seems to cause a lot of confusion.

I managed to hit rank 10 for the second month in a row (3rd month playing) with Control Warrior that is heavily teached towards my meta (various Dragon, Face and Highlander Hunters, Galakrond Rogues, Token and Embiggen Druids, Mech Paladins etc).

Do you think it's viable in the higher ranks, I'm trying to reach rank 5.

Control Warrior?

13,320 Dust 885 0 Copy Deck Code

Just considering the cards from this past year getting unnerfed I again thought about why T5 hasn't unnerfed this deck in today's HS.

There are and have been more consistent and easier OTK setups that have stuck around and big taunts (warlock) exist in today's HS when they didn't then, as well as Reno to go with the Ice Blocks in mage. Not to mention the much higher prevalence of hyper aggressive decks and massive armor gains that didn't exist in the same form of the Grim Patron meta.

Simply put, the deck would not perform the same as it did years ago so why keep the deck broken?

So ive been planning on making a Galakrond rouge and i see alot of pro decks that  have Flik Skyshiv (which i also have) and im just wondering what is the purpose of Flik Skyshiv in these decks?

So I was on a quest to 100% the dalaran heist on heroic and during my, Chu run against Kalecgos he used a 19 dmg pyroblast on a divine shielded annoy-o-tron. My only question is why? I had lethal but why use it on a divine shield out of all my minions? Oh yeah also the twists and anomalies cost 2 mana now

...you can see two Pogo-Hoppers in the background.

Just thought that was kind of interesting. No question what Blizzard designed that card for.

This has been in my mind lately. And I hope there are no similar thread like this. So here goes.

Vanilla body means, it's a minion with no effects written on the card.

What would be the premium vanilla stats of a 1 mana (Class & Neutral Cards) would be? 2 mana? 3 mana? etc.

We did have an example like Boulderfist Ogre being a 6 mana having 6/7 body. that means (n/n)+1 random stat would be the formula, but that does not work with Dire Mole being 1 mana having 1/3 body. this means (n/n)+2 random stats. and this is just neutral cards.

If class cards, we have an example of Enchanted Raven being 1 mana having 2/2 body that the formula above is correct, but this means, Neutral and Class cards is the same regarding 1 mana cost. Tag doesn't matter too, since Dire Mole is beast too.

or Northshire Cleric with 1/1/3 plus an effect would make a 1/2/3 or 1/1/4 vanilla class cards.

Why do I create this thread, well, I need to analyze what makes Zilliax a 5 mana, had so much effects with a 3/2 body. Being a neutral card is too much I think.

Discuss away..

Simply put.  I have a quest today to play 3 Champions from Demacia or Noxus.  I played 3 games vs AI and played a total of 5 champions from said regions.  It still only said 1/3.  So I switched to a PvP game and played another 1 or 2 champions, only for it to STILL say 1/3.

I tried logging out and then back in.  Still the same.  I don't want to reroll it because it's an easy quest.  This is frustrating as it seems to happen to me quite often. 

Thoughts?  Ideas to remedy this?

I think im a little upset right now...

i played a game of expidition with a quite good Garen Darius Elite Deck on round 5

my Opponent basicly crafted a probably very solid Aniva Ashe frostburn deck

the point where it went strange was the following

he has a lvld Anivia on his side

I have a 6/3 (after he took 2 dmg) fearsome guy and a full board on my attack round he on 4 life me on 5

i attack imedeatly so he cant play anything.

so far so good he blocks with anivia the 6/3 and i should have done MORE then enough dmg to kill him trice with my other minions.

What happens? Anivia dies, all of my other minions are frostburned wihtout him playing a card (i looked in the list... nothign happend, he didnt play a spell at all) and he is able to play a few minions and kill me the next round

pls party people what happend here?

Hi guys (and girls)

Being a F2P player, it is sometime takes a desperate measure to get a free packs, by any means necessary (but not with shady activity).

I had, login from Samsung Mobile, to Apple IPhone, and Tablet, just to get those nifty free packs.

And I've just realized that there is one more way to get more free packs, recruit a player (up to four free packs). But the cons is, not just any recruit can do. It has to be lower than 20 in total level (not Ranks Level).

To anyone who kind enough to be my recruit, pass those lv.20, and let me have those precious packs, I would be so grateful.

In addition, you get 1 free pack (if you haven't got to lv.20). So it's a win-win.

So, here's my link.

https://battle.net/recruit/6ZTBJSTG28?blzcmp=raf-hs&s=HS&m=pc

Thanks in advance.

Just a little salty after playing against it almost every game

But I did a quick search in the collection manager including unowned cards.  The following is a few keywords, followed by a number of all existing cards that have it or interact with it, and a number of said cards existing in Ionia, and a few notable examples.  For most of these, Ionia has over half of the cards of a given keyword in their pool, and if not, most of the cards.


Elusive: 21 exist with the word in it.  11 Ionia.  Examples:  Greenglade Duo, Shadow Assassin, BADCARDNAME, Kinkou Lifeblade, Yusari, The Empyrean

Lifesteal: 7 total exist.  4 Ionia.  Herald of Spring, Emerald Awakener, Kinkou Lifeblade again, Spirit's Refuge

Recall: 10 Exist, 8 Ionia (11 / 9 if you include Zed's champ spell).  Yasuo, Will of Ionia, Minah Swiftfoot.  2 Fast spells forced to target ally, but can be used to save units.  1 Other card that buffs for each recall or stun.  Only 2 using recall as a "cost"

Stun: 10 Exist.  4 Ionia (the other 6 all in Noxus).  Yasuo, Fae Bladetwirler, Steel Tempest, Yone, Windchaser

Barrier: 12 Exist (if Heimerdinger counts),  5 Ionia (Sedond to Damacia which has 6 but only if you count Fiora's Champ Spell).  Shen, Greenglade Caretaker, Spirit's Refuge again, Ki Guardian, Stand United

Heal an / Heal your: 6 exist, 2 Ionia (tied with Freljord).  Health Potion, Ritual of Renewal

Ephemeral:  Now the problem here is how many Ionia has.  The problem here is they're the only ones that can give it to the opponent.  Death Mark, Shadow Flare, Ren Shadowblade

Ally in hand / Allies in hand (Hand buffs): 8 Exist, 5 Ionia. Inspiring Mentor, Ki Guardian, Jeweled Protector, Sown Seeds, Greenglade Elder

And honorable mentions:  Deny, Twin Disciplines



So do I have the right to be annoyed at this point?  Does anyone else share my feelings?  Anything that I missed?  Any opposite opinions?  Some other region that somehow has top spot or over half of 6 different annoying mechanics or mechanics other regions would love like... any... healing?

Trying to follow the Pre-Order pages. I don't see anything mentioning a hearthstone card back or hero for pre order or ownership. I'm hoping this was done on purpose after feedback from users not wanting to buy other games to get in game hearthstone additions.

I'm a Card Back collector myself, so I'm keeping an eye on it, but has if anyone has heard/seen anything related to Shadowlands and Hearthstone, let me know.

Hey folks

Always seemed like 60/60 quests were offered far more than 4 out of 8 last time we had this festival, so I decided to record the quest distribution I was offered this time.

Played on 3 regions and had a few extra quests due to having a non-empty quest log when event started.

Always rerolled a 60/60 unless forced to clear a quest slot.

Reminder of what was available:

- 4 60/60     50%

- 1 80/80     12.5%

- 3 100/100       37.5%

I was offered:

- A total of 81 lunar quests

- 51 60/60    63%

- 8 80/80     9.9%

- 22 100/100     27.2%

% is to 1 decimal place.

I also recorded what quests were taking up other slots (as these can't be offered) and also the quest I was rerolling from (also can't be offered).  I won't bore everyone with that level of detail, and this isn't a proper statistical analysis - though much of the time I had 1 or more 60/60s already in the quest log - on 3 separate occasions I rerolled into a 60/60 despite having 3 60/60 quests.  That's a 1/5 (20%).  Only twice did a 3 60/60 reroll result in a non 60/60 (I got 1 80/80 and 1 100/100).

Definitely came away feeling strong weighting in favor of 60/60s there like last year.  Especially as of course I didn't reroll 100/100 quests which skews average result upwards.

Not saying any of this is indicative of how anyone else did or what Team 5 set due to small sample size but I thought it was interesting.  All in all glad to get some extra dust!

How did you do?

I believe the title says it all.. I feel like the deck might lack taunts but so far the pressure's been enough to keep the advantage..

I for one cannot wait to get back into City 17 and not only that but this time enjoy it in VR. From the small amount of footage I've seen, it looks like it is going to be a ton of fun and should look stunning. It makes me wonder how the title will end up shaping future VR titles - the lessons other devs learn from it and all that fun.

Who else is planning on playing? Are you buying a headset to play or did you already own one? Are you waiting for reviews before taking the VR dive?

Spring Cleaning

Next Monday, February 17, we’ll be doing some spring cleaning and removing older theme decks from the in-game store.

Ten theme decks will remain available for purchase (the decks from Echoes of Eternity and Flame of Xulta), and all of the non-Expedition-legal theme decks will be removed from the store.

This change should make it easier for players to find theme decks relevant to them, and for new players to quickly jump into Expedition play.

Look for future theme deck store updates as new content releases, and grab your bundle to begin exploring the new cards from Echoes of Eternity!

The upcoming TESL Gauntlet will start tomorrow and run through February 17.

The pauper gets a princely promotion in The Elder Scrolls: Legends’ latest event, the Noble Gauntlet!

Noble Gauntlet: February 14 – February 17
Like the commons-only Pauper Gauntlet, a Noble deck is restricted by rarity. In this case, only Common and Rare cards are allowed. Don’t let your guard down, though! A Noble deck can still put up some impressive power without the help of any Epic or Legendary cards.

Once you’ve constructed a deck, square off with opponents until you reach nine wins or three losses, whichever comes first! Each run through the Noble Gauntlet costs one Event Ticket or 150 Gold, with up to three maximum runs allowed.

The Noble Gauntlet begins Friday, February 14 at 12pm ET and closes at 12pm ET on Monday, February 17. Events in The Elder Scrolls: Legends change regularly, so check in often to see what new challenges await!
