You're also assuming a going 0-2 twice, which is extremely pessimistic--the median result is probably 4-5 wins.
But overall I really like this. Expeditions were starting to feel like a chore to me--I felt like I needed to convert my free token into a random champion ASAP every week, but at the same time I didn't want to blow it so I'd end up procrastinating until the weekend. This way, you get epics, which are still pretty good but not "I need to redeem this ASAP to see if it helps me build a new deck" good.
I was looking at the base reward, since the rest of the rewards are easier to calculate they are straight shard rewards.
You need 2000 shards to break even on the reward and for that you need quite a bit here compared to the previous reward being always at least neutral.. TBH it's better that way.. you get exp and you get a game mode.. so be it..
Yeah felt the same didn't really enjoy expeditions cause I wanted to know which champion I would get.. guess now I could enjoy them more without wanting to quit them just for the reward.
Seems like a step in the right direction lifting the purchase limit mostly affects streamers or whales who want to invest in the game to play it more(was heavily discussed in "progress day") I hope this change will invite more streamers to play the game and popularize it.
A wild champion card per week is a great addition to the game I prefer it much more than a random one I get from expeditions this way I can choose which deck to build and a player can get any deck he wants in 3 weeks due to wild cards.
the exp boosts are good news as well!
Just one question is left unanswered.. what will happen to players who completed all the rewards?
Calculation: an epic costs 1,200 shards so you need to get at least 800 shards for it to be worth, I am not sure how many shards are there in a capsule but assuming 2 duplicate commons and 2 duplicate rares it's 12180 shards (As long as you don't have all epics) worth.
But I think there is some shard range from epic capsules and I am not sure assuming it's 600 shards you need 3-4 wins to break even with the cost of the expedition..
The other aspect of it is the exp with taking the exp into consideration it's much more worth..
it seems like the mode is less worthwhile to play but you can play it more often which means that if you like the mode you are able to play more.. and I think they will lift the 3 max per week so.. all in all it's bad for the player economy but good for the game mode.. as a game mode.
Thought it was good even without the cost reduction, a 8/8 divine shield taunt is around 7 mana card and then there's the 8 heal and the bundling cost so all in all it's worth.
but you can reduce it to 7 mana easily at minimum it can cost 3 mana.. quite insane..
My only concern is that without any draw (at least currently) Priest will have a hard time actually getting to their good cards.
Priest has as a weakness low card draw but a lot of value generation, it's opposite to the other new class demon hunter which has a lot of draw but bad card generation..
on a minion? not a friendly minion? with so many priest spells being buffs now (and stealing the paladin identity by doing it..) this card is crazy value.. and it costs only 2 mana?
couldn't be printed with divine spirit in rotation.. but in wild lyra priest is going off as soon as turn 4..
it's a more restricted lyra, the reward is the same but it has a harder requirement to have the same reward.. but it costs 3 less.
Lulu is not an ionian champion, I mean.. They could go teemo on her and give her an elaborated back story, but it's more logical for Lee sin to be the pick.
Nocturne is not a shadow isles champion either, he has no links to the shadow isles in any way except he is "spooky" he is also kind of in need of a rework so I think they will wait on him at least a year.
Tham is a demon, not an iconic Blige water champion. Also IIRC fizz isn't either affiliated with the region anymore.
I think on blidgewater we will get the iconic ones first: gp, mf, tf, Graves, illaoi, Pyke.
On Taragon I think we might get all 6 but in 8 months..
So far Corona virus didn't affect Riot's release pipeline in league.. I guess most of them work from home.
Team 5:" We will never print a card like Voidcaller"
Also team 5:

They couldn't made it so it transformed the one on the left or right for the sake of consistency?
this card couldn't be printed with magnetic on rotation so I see this card as "printed after zilliax rotated on purpose"
What is Kripp doing there?
Is this a battlegrounds stream?
This card looks insane, half a blessing of kings without a card cost. auto include 2 of those in every paladin deck until rotation.
* except if you are playing highlander then it's a 1 of.. but you are sad about it.

You can make it cost 0 which is quite good.
The chaining of those over trades or getting like 5 of those with Lady Liadrin is what makes this card good.
Explorer's Hat with a bonus that it can be reduced is quite potent I think Explorer's Hat is better in paladin anyway.
Thought it was good even without the cost reduction, a 8/8 divine shield taunt is around 7 mana card and then there's the 8 heal and the bundling cost so all in all it's worth.
but you can reduce it to 7 mana easily at minimum it can cost 3 mana.. quite insane..
if the board is empty it's 12 face damage in one card!
might clear the board, a lot of bodies.. looks very strong to me.
it says random enemies, not random enemy minions.
Oh you pointed out what bothers me on the card's art.
ye, I actually meant that I will edit my post.. it was only for a combo
Mage had a similar card and it never saw play(for tempo) -Molten Reflection
Ddruid had copy abilities for a while and they didn't really see play outside of floop
So.. it's either a combo card or it won't see play, won't see play for a tempo card despite the taunt.
spell Aviana I mean.. did they not learn from that card?
Good card, the art sucks a lot though.
Priest has as a weakness low card draw but a lot of value generation, it's opposite to the other new class demon hunter which has a lot of draw but bad card generation..
How many priest cards even have "draw a card" ATM and without Acolyte of Pain, Northshire Cleric or Power Word: Shield I don't see priests drawing many cards.
on a minion? not a friendly minion? with so many priest spells being buffs now (and stealing the paladin identity by doing it..) this card is crazy value.. and it costs only 2 mana?
couldn't be printed with divine spirit in rotation.. but in wild lyra priest is going off as soon as turn 4..
it's a more restricted lyra, the reward is the same but it has a harder requirement to have the same reward.. but it costs 3 less.
Do note that even if you don't run the card..Zephrys the Great will give it to you..
galakround control warlock runs 2 sacrificial pact I think with so many demons around the deck will be even more successful!
Really? Lulu in Ionia? Then bandle city won't be a region.. I mean.. They put all their iconic champions outside of it..
Lulu is not an ionian champion, I mean.. They could go teemo on her and give her an elaborated back story, but it's more logical for Lee sin to be the pick.
