Is heroic too easy? I haven't had the chance to try. From some posts up earlier, I understand there's some frustrating difficulty in heroic mode on the last wing.
I mean wings 1~3 they were a beeeze most of them didn't even require a specific deck or were remotely unfair.
The last wing is in the right level for heroics, except the paladin friends who were on the easier side due to just being a slightly stronger odd paladin. ish. at least they had boss cards.. this adventure has a severe lack of boss cards..
I mean I could start counting mechanics other regions have like that.. I think Ionia and SI will be nerfed but the different mechanics are not a problem. I suspect every region will gain 1~2 new mechanics per expansion so..
I agree with oldManSanns, but I think riot will increase his mana cost to 9 or 10 to make it harder to play, or remove fearsome to make it so you can block it with tokens. (the card should stay as a finisher, but reduce his power level..)
I am ok with such card existing.. it costs a lot and it should be impactful.
About ranks, you start at iron tier, and each tier has 4 ranks as DoubleSummon said. Within each tier you can go up and down the ranks, but once you reach a new tier, you can never go back to a tier below, meaning for example, if you reach gold, you can never go back to silver.
Hmm then I will start playing more ranks I thought I could go lower with meme decks turns out I am in the lowest rank anyway huh.. so there's no reason to not play rank then (Also in silver if you are good)
Runeterra is just Hearthstone in a different client. You didn't draw the nuts but played perfectly anyways?
Fuck off and lose, idiot.
Good to see you back buddy. Sorry about the salt thoug
low ranks of runeterra are damn near impossible without a decent collection.
my winrate even in casual matches is between 10 and 20% right now. It's simply a game of who draws the nuts first.
Why don't you have a decent collection yet though? from 2 weekly vaults and level 8 on every region (3 weeks of playing and completing quests got 3 PVP weeks daily and only one 7 wins expedition). I feel really comfortable about my collection and I am F2P, if you lose so much you might want to look up what you are doing wrong.. it's impossible to climb in any game without an actual deck.. if you are having a hard time figuring out the game I recomend you to watch streamers.. recommed MegaMogwai and Swim they are both at master rank and have very good history of other card games.
Swim has also a lot of tips for beginners and how to make the best of your collection mogwai probably plays jankey enough decks you might like, IIRC you don't like aggro decks he tend to play comoish/control decks.
Wait we start at Silver? Everyone starts at Iron. Unless they changed with the recent patch
I barely played any rank, and I look at the color of the rank and it seem silver to me.. (do I need to get to gold to prove it :/) <- coward who is afraid of playing ranks for no reason at all.
No, no problem in my end I used to have in preview but it was a problem with my ISP.
You should try to ping Riot servers (those are the league servers, so they might be different but they are mostly the same routing):
NA - 104.160.131.3 - america EUW - 104.160.141.3 - europe west EUNE - 104.160.142.3 -europe east OCE - 104.160.156.1 - australia LAN - 104.160.136.3 -latin america
Search cmd -> open it-> ping (your closest server depending on your region) press enter you can put -t to ping several times.
For example: ping 104.160.142.3 -t
If your ms>150 or so, you have lags.
Contact Riot's support for more analysis they could help you figure out what causes your lags, they really helped me when I contacted them.
First of all can you stop posting with so many enters? it's quite annoying to read, thank you. (not trying to be rude.. just constructive.. sorry if it comes across as rude).
I looked at your deck(Next time post your deck code into the deck builder of Out of cards):
and it's too much of a mishmash of stuff, it's not clear what's the goal of your deck, you run Elise but not many spiders, you run The Undying but not too many ways to abuse the card, I would suggest first to really decide which style of deck you are going for, this deck has aggro,control and midrange tools currently as it stands it's a weird midrange deck and not control, there are many control decks for FJ + SI one I really liked is this deck:
I didn't watched the new video, but I played his previous version which is quite similar to yours, and was heavy in abusing the undyings.
Also about ranks, you start at the lower middle portion of the ladder at silver, the ranks go iron-bronze-silver-gold-platinum-diamond-master just like in league and in TFT. that's Riot's ranking system. every tier has 4 levels from IV-> I while the lower the letter the better. I would suggest against playing ranked before you have a real deck cause you will then get to a lower rank and will have to apply more effort just to return to the starting point.
I don't really see Karma fits since you don't have any spell that you really want to duplicate (like direct damage to the Nexus or other single target shots).
I agree, if so I would suggest replacing Karma with Ashe, and add more frostbite to the deck, frostbite is really the reason to run freljord control and you don't have enough of it, I think you can replace the ramping tools for frostbite since stalling is probably better than ramping anyway, plus it's good against deny.
Also I don't agree with having 2 Minah Swiftfoot I think yone is just better cause he is 2 mana cheaper for a similar effect on one less target (at that stage of the game recalling is similar or even worse than stunning), but I would suggest going for Avarosan Hearthguard instead if you can cause your curve is too high.
I am fine with no neutrals.. since you can mix regions and treat the secondary region (or shared, sometimes it's a 50/50) as your neutral pool, it frees up so much design space cause you can give each region similar tools without feeling like all the game will be the same..
Speaking of, it took me a while to see the difference between Whirling Death and Single Combat. I was like, why is the card that requires the units to be in battle cost more? Is it cause of the different region ... then after a while i noticed only one unit takes damage :D Cost me a game or two before i realized lol.
Yeah, it takes a while to get used to the "Strike" keyword, in hearthstone when 2 units battle they always lower each other hp equal to each other's attack value but in runettera each battle instance is called striking which is defined as "A unit with more than 0 attack deals it's attack value to another unit"
This is important cause of frostbite effects negating on strike effects, and it solves the confusion around how Katarina works, because she has quick attack and strikes first she recalls when she strikes and then the opponent tries to retaliate but can't cause there's no unit to strike. I really appreciate this rule since it also opens so much design space around the different instances of a combat and already is present in 3 keywords: "strike ","quick attack" and "double attack".
Actually there are many cards that say "when I am summoned" they all act the same way when revived or generated in any way... Maybe there's a deck that capitalize on this further, other than dawn spiders
In freljord you forgot the best tool against elusives: frostbite, those burst speed spells can't be denied and really wreack the buffed elusives, yes you can probably not kill them but you should apply enough pressure for them to want to block, there's an ashe + noxus anti elusive deck.

about the current balance problems.. there will be balance changes in 9 days from now.. it's expected the game won't be balanced in month 1..
They stole dalaran to gain more henchmen and a base of operations, maybe also information about how to revive the plagues.
They got to uldum to get the plague of undeath.
He revived galakrond to conquer azoroth, then defeated him to ensure he won't betray him and so he could prove he is stronger than him.
I mean wings 1~3 they were a beeeze most of them didn't even require a specific deck or were remotely unfair.
The last wing is in the right level for heroics, except the paladin friends who were on the easier side due to just being a slightly stronger odd paladin. ish. at least they had boss cards.. this adventure has a severe lack of boss cards..
Ok the last wing is actually in the right level (except the paladin ones I beat them with odd paladin)
Too bad the rest of the wings were too easy.. and it wasn't that hard to make them harder (as suggested)
Just... this
Bomb warrior is from RoS I know it's been forever since we saw bomb warrior being played.
Is the game broken for anyone else?
I mean I could start counting mechanics other regions have like that.. I think Ionia and SI will be nerfed but the different mechanics are not a problem. I suspect every region will gain 1~2 new mechanics per expansion so..
I agree with oldManSanns, but I think riot will increase his mana cost to 9 or 10 to make it harder to play, or remove fearsome to make it so you can block it with tokens. (the card should stay as a finisher, but reduce his power level..)

Died at 3 cause I play too much around judgment and missed lethal
hmm I wonder if Frenzied Skitterer is good IDK guys
Edit: turns out that it's great but I play around stuff I shouldn't XD
And in hearthstone it's *poof!* apparently -> The Amazing Reno
Hmm then I will start playing more ranks I thought I could go lower with meme decks turns out I am in the lowest rank anyway huh.. so there's no reason to not play rank then (Also in silver if you are good)
It seems to me like silver I dunno it's weird.
