Ya know i could forgive not getting any bonus stuff for being in the open beta last year, but the fact that all progress was robbed from us is pretty ridiculous I have to go through the tutorial and the early rewards and get a loooot less wildcards than from the beta. The idea of this game from what i remember was in order to make a very accessible card game where i could play any deck i want but now im sitting here grinding the prebuilt jinx and zed deck in order to get my cool decks back. Really dumb.

Hello all

Is the Starter pack worth buying?

Do you get any sort of bonus to the starting region that notices you after the prologue rewards are finished or is it just the one you get from using most of their cards?? 

I just read this on the most recent news article on the Legends of Runeterra website:

Here's the link: https://playruneterra.com/en-us/news/open-beta-economy-updates/

I'm not sure how I feel about this. An expedition token is nice but I really liked the idea of consistently getting a champion each week. I also can't find the exact rewards you can get for expeditions so if someone else does please let me know. If it's not too difficult to get a champion card from expeditions (or enough shards to craft one) I can understand and like this change much better.

EDIT: Okay nevermind, in the video in which they explain expeditions they say that you're guaranteed a champion card from expeditions regardless of how many wins you get, which actually makes this change to the vault rewards pretty awesome (Unless you really hate playing expeditions I guess).

Here's where I found this information: https://www.metabomb.net/legends-of-runeterra/gameplay-guides/legends-of-runeterra-expeditions-guide

And here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=253&v=G3rwIEliVOY&feature=emb_title&ab_channel=LegendsofRuneterra

Although it might still be nice to spread this information a bit more, you can delete this thread if you want to dear moderators.

Don't get me wrong, I love Tirion. Playing minions like Boogeymonster is silly but it feels great when they work out.

I've played 12 games with Tirion and got 11 wins. One loss might be the first game, so I'm on a 11-win streak, which is amazing.

1 mana gain 2/2, 3/3 in the early game and then going up to 7/7, is it too powerful? What is your experience with him so far?

While Wild Growth has been out of the meta for a time since its nerf, the recent release of Winged Guardian has brought a Midrange, Dragon/Ramp/Embiggen Druid back into the game leveraging the new ramp abilities provided by Breath of Dreams. It remains to be seen how this deck will fare over time as the meta settles and new cards are released, but for now it's putting up an appreciable presence, making this a good time to look at it.

One thing to note upfront is that this isn't a discussion of nerfs. While you could make a case for nerfing Breath of Dreams, you could also make a case for nerfing tons of stuff from Descent of Dragons, given the immense power creep in the set. For what it's worth, I'm a bit pleased that Druid at least has a deck to work with now after its period of dormancy.

In my Purchases history, it says that I bought 5 copies of Senna. I may have actually crafted 5 - I'm not sure. Like, I may have crafted more than 3 and the server didn't sync up with my crafts or something?

Anyway, I can refund 2 of my rare wildcards, but when I do, it says that it will invalidate one of my decks. Did I spend 2 extra wild cards? Is this a bug? 

I sent a support ticket, but I haven't heard from Riot in 2 days.

Help?

Most of the posts I make tend to be information centric, whether it is about a bug, statistics, a guide, or maybe just questioning the way things are done. All of these things fall under "discussion", I suppose. I think that a category I would really like to have is something along the lines of "information". People would post guides, and discussion of the way things work, whereas "discussion" can be where people whine about the meta or give opinions on things, like this post. I'm not sure who I need to talk to to get this type of flair introduced, but I think it would be helpful for people looking for guides in particular.

Do I need any cards to discard in order to play this? i.e if this is the only card in my hand can this still be played?

This card was created for Hearthpwn's Custom Class competition #5 "Trials and Errors". I worked more on it and i wish to share it with you guys to see what you think. So what's a Bloodburner?

Description

All magic needs fuel. Most mages use mana as it is safe (as much as it can be) and plentiful. But it's not the most powerful, no, that would be Blood Magic. To use one's own blood as fuel is incredibly dangerous and most would run dry in a few casts. in truth the only ones who can wield it properly are lizardfolk with their powerful regenerative abilities.

Bloodburners use their own health as fuel, self damage is a key mechanic of the class. A powerful tool is always present at their disposal, that being the Hero Power: "Blood to Fire". Odd mage showed what 2 damage for 2 mana can do early and late game, but like Warlocks, you also pay 2 life yourself whenever you use it. But this can be an advantage, especially to activate the class' keyword Fresh Blood:

Fresh Blood can trigger during your turn or the opponent's as well, forcing him to think if he should go face or eliminate the minions with this keyword.

In short, the class is centered around these:

• Self Damage as a downside to powerful effects but also something you can benefit from
• Hero Power Interactions will be present in almost all sets, the class relying heavily on the Hero Power to win games
• Powerful Spells. Since blood magic is so potent, it makes sense they'd have some neat tricks up their sleeves
• Dragons! Reptile people like big winged lizards, who knew?

Basic

Classic

I've been totally ignoring my rewards and just grinding XP, but I figure at some point I'll need to understand and optimize my consumable resources.  From what I can gleam:

• "Coins" are the in-game exchange for real-world cash; they can be converted into other resources
• "Wildcards" have a corresponding rarity and can be converted into any desired card of that same rarity
• "Expedition Tokens" can be redeemed for 3 Expeditions runs, which in turn reward shards, wildcards, and random cards
• "Shards" are the baseline currency which can be converted into Wildcards and/or Expedition Tokens.

Is that all of it?  Are "capsules" not a thing any more?

>>>>>>>>3x Diamond Chest rewards <<<<<<<<

Figured I would include the contents of my Rewards opening to help people who are interested in tracking drop rates get more source material.

Also I know people just like seeing a cache being opened. 

Short and sweet 1:30 sec video, no music overlay, no intro, just cards.

So while I was playing Rather I win or lose Im getting 0 xp. im assuming tis a bug,ifits not thats kinda dumb.

I dislike limited formats. Because, they're boring, I suck or can't stand what game is offering me (choosing between bad and bad...). In the earlier trial, I got thousands of spells, bad and replicated cards, while my opponents, every one of them got nuts, insane synergies and insane curves. I was thinking spending shards on Expeditions, but now I see it's not worth my nerves. In essence, not different from HS Arena (inconsistent and unpredictable fiesta). Constructed is much more enjoyable for me. Still, need to do these free runs.

What would you choose here? I don't like any of the choices. Even if I would take something, there's an awful card in the same bundle. Ancient Crocolith seems terrible; what guarantees me I'll be able to make enough synergies for it to work (and why at all)? It sucks with what I already picked. But Kalista seems the least bad from the list of offered champions. Ezreal dies by a spittle. Karma gives at least some value and 'not totally bad' tempo, but why Solitary Monk, doesn't feel good with my midrange Garen stuff I would like to build.

What's a good spells / minions ratio? 

I think this has been to me for a while now, but I definitely noticed it this evening.  I'd been seeing that "you already have this card, converting into shards" message a fair amount after opening my regional chests/capsules, which I chalked up to conventional bad luck / "kettle never boils" phenomenon.  However I saw it this evening with one of the commons from my Shadow Isles Champions Chest, and I thought that was really odd because I'm still missing so many that I'm trying to make my ephemeral deck for, and when I went to look for which darned SI common card I was overdrawing I saw I had 2x, 1x, and 0x for lots of my SI cards but no 3x.

I put in a ticket; I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed anything similar.

You can discover cards that are not released yet.. dunno if it was intended or not but turns out it's possible.

Do you think it's a bug? or just lazy design from blizzard

Cheers!

I can't seem to edit a deck guide I created for a Runeterra deck (https://outof.cards/legends-of-runeterra/decks/271-fiora-barrier).

I can change the text by clicking "Edit Guide", but after saving, the text on the deck page is unchanged. 
The changes seem to be saved for the editing page only, because when I click "Edit Guide" again, the changes are there.

Bug Fixes

Legends of Runeterra

• Fixed an issue that prevented the cache from breaking on deck pages when a deck guide was updated.

I have a quest to play 6 champions from Shadow Isles or Piltover & Zaun. I played yesterday and managed to get 3 out  of 6 champions and then it stopped counting. Today it is all the same, I'm still on 3/6 and it won't move, doesn't matter how many jinxes or zed I have played.
Similarly, I got a quest today to play 20 demacia units and I'm playing that Jinx/Zed beginner deck and suddenly (in a fifth game or so) it did push that quest to 3/20 without any sense (no demacia units in deck). Anybody experiencing stuff like this and do you know where can I report bugs?

Not sure how much easier or harder it'll be to do this from here on out. There's a lot more time to do it in future weeks, but I don't have those tutorials for easy XP grinding.

We'll take things as they go, I suppose.

I've been having a blast playing for the past 4 days. Wrapping my head around the timing of spells and skills in this game has been a process, but I think I've got it figured out pretty well by now.

One exception that I don't quite grasp is exactly how Jinx's level-up timing works. There were 2 scenarios that ran completely counter to what I had anticipated would happen:

1. Opponent had a 4-attack Jinx on the board and 1 card in hand. I play She Who Wanders, obliterating both Jinx and the card in hand (which emptied the opponent's hand). I'm pretty sure the skill animation showed Jinx being taken out. Yet upon resolution of the skill, Jinx leveled up and returned to the field - now with 5 attack, obviously. What's the deal? Removal of all cards from both players' boards and hands should occur at the same time, so after the skill resolves, Jinx should be out of play and thus unable to level up. If there is a fixed order in which cards are being removed, it should be board first, hand second (because that's the order it's worded in on the card).

2. I'm can't recall the exact setup of this one, but same as above, the opponent had a Jinx on the field and 1 card in hand. I attacked and challenged Jinx with my buffed Braum, killing her. I'm around 90% sure that the opponent didn't play the card from his hand when he confirmed blockers. My Braum killed Jinx, and again, I'm 90% sure the opponent then (i.e. after the battle had concluded) played the card from their hand, and suddenly, boom - Jinx level-up animation, and she returns to the field as a level 2.

Can anybody enlighten me as to how her level-up timing works in detail? On a side note, I've already read the tip to check the all-seeing eye more often to see how chains will resolve. I definitely should've used this feature in case 1 at least.

Pretty self-centred of me to make a thread about this, but needed to share my joy with this awesome community.

After playing for almost 2 years, and never spending a dollar, I finally made it with quest Hunter! (dekkster list with hyena replacing halazzi) 

Have gone 51-30 (62% WR) and not a single mirror! Closest was a highlander hunter quest build. Meta breaker? Haha

Have taken some screenshots on my phone but can't figure out how to upload them sorry! 

A new Common Shaman Spell, Explosive Evolution, has been revealed!

As some of you remember, War of the Dark was a brilliant April 1st joke inspired by recent MTG set.

I want to notice that some of the predictions turned out to be not far from truth.

We actually got a large number of Hero Cards: total of 16 if we count different Galakrond forms.

Also it seems that in the final chapter of Galakrond's awakening both League of Explorers and League of EVIL have to battle with Galakround. This counts as "two teams banding together" to fight elder "destructive power".

Yeah, I know it's a huge stretch. But anyway kudos to our fluffy prophets.

Guys, you need to try this deck if you have cards. It made me Gold IV today.

Deck ID Not Found

If you like you can replace 1x Trifarian Assessor with 1x Decisive Maneuver. I didn't have second copy of Decisive Maneuver so I'm playing with this.

You just need to pilot it so well against Ionia and sometimes swim's dawnspooders deck. Don't let your Atrocity Deny-ed.

Use Atrocity to only finish with Darius or Rhasa the Sunderer or Crowd Favorite or save yourself from lethal.

It's kind of heavy to pilot deck but if you have cards you can practice. It is also great start to practice Katarina.
