Legends of Runeterra’s Patch 3.10 Brings Over 40 Balance Changes, More Than Half of Them Buffs

Thanks. I appreciate the attention that you bring to Runeterra. (I probably wouldn't be playing the game at all if OoC hadn't covered it from the start.) I did see this morning's new article on the cosmetics. These are the …

Legends of Runeterra Adds Rift Quest Skins to the Game - Tabletop RPG Themed Skins!

I love these so much. I bought the board right away, and it's the first time I'm tempted to buy skins. (Nami is the only one that I can see myself using much, though.) I really wish there was a …

Legends of Runeterra’s Patch 3.10 Brings Over 40 Balance Changes, More Than Half of Them Buffs

Me, too. This site in general is doing ok, but I am worried about how sloppy the LoR coverage is.

In addition to being 3 days late, the article has several glaring typos and makes some debatable judgment calls …

Thank you for taking the time to write all that! It’s a great explanation, and it helped me understand a lot of the random comments I’ve been hearing.

Ben Brode Answers Marvel Snap Questions - Balance Patch, Matchmaking, Leaks, & More!

Could you explain what this means for the people who haven’t played Marvel Snap yet? I don’t understand what credits or boosters are.

This makes it sound like you have limited credits to play games each day (but why?). …

Marvel Snap Developer Discord Recap #1 - Monetization, Future Game Modes, Voice Actor Ben Brode

The biggest news is buried across a couple answers: They expect a new game mode to be released in “a few months”, and alsohope the new game mode comes out before the global release.

So if you’re hoping for …

Marvel Snap's Featured Location This Week is Muir Island - The Early Bird Gets the Power!

Time for the obligatory question: Is there any news about this game’s availability opening up? Since it’s publicly released for the Philippines now, I assume there’s no reason to wait much longer. I don’t think they’ve said anything, though.

Legends of Runeterra’s Foundations Set Fully Unlocked for Game Pass Subscribers

I wonder if that’s a bigger market than we realize. LoR is incredibly generous with people who are willing to devote a few hours per week to it. But maybe there’s a potential audience of casual players who would enjoy …

Legends of Runeterra’s Foundations Set Fully Unlocked for Game Pass Subscribers

That is a pretty amazing deal. How does it work logistically? As long as you have the cards, your duplicates automatically turn to shards worth a fraction of the value. If you buy any bundles, the cards you own are …

Marvel Snap's Featured Location This Week is Atlantis - Namor's Time to Shine!

I am actively losing interest in the game as I see news about events happening before I can even try it.

Edit: Also, since the comparison between this and Tavern Brawl posts is fair, I’ll point out that there …

Legends of Runeterra is Refocusing on PVP, Path of Champions Put on Backburner, Riot Developers Joining Other Teams

Making a separate game inspired by Path of Champions is an optimistic read. Since the developers are being distributed to “some other projects”, it sounds more like they’re just taking resources away from the game. The PVP side (presumably with …

Heroic Brawliseum is Here! Watch Streamers as They Play Powerful Decks to 12 Wins

I’m cynical about it because it feels predatory. The people who hang out on Hearthstone message boards may not be big Tavern Brawl fans, but a lot of casual players do enjoy it. When they see a big exciting splash …

Heroic Brawliseum

Usually I’m happy to roll the “play 2 tavern brawls” quest on a Wednesday. Not this week.

Things I like:

  • Fast play with meaningful combos and decisions.
  • A victory condition different from normal.
  • I love love LOVE the Backgammon-style doubling cube and the way …

Legends of Runeterra Reveals Bard, a New Runeterran Champion for the Worldwalker Expansion

Yes, it doesn’t seem like enough. I’m expecting more Chime cards to be added. Since I understand these to be all over Runeterra in the lore - and because I hope they will do more with Boons - I think …

Legends of Runeterra Reveals Bard, a New Runeterran Champion for the Worldwalker Expansion

I think Bard’s Origin should be the model for future champions: It’s very limited, but comes with a nice bonus effect. (Add Chimes at the start of each round.) Assuming it’s balanced now, it should stay balanced. On the other …

Everything You Need to Know About Warcraft Arclight Rumble, Blizzard's New Mobile Game

Those are all good concerns about Clash Royale. My experience is that the game worked out well for me. (I'm absolutely not telling anyone they're wrong not to like it, though! Everyone's opinions are valid, especially the opinions that keep …

Everything You Need to Know About Warcraft Arclight Rumble, Blizzard's New Mobile Game

I may be in the minority, but I don't mind Clash Royale's monetization. It's a $5/month pass, the same price as Hearthstone's Tavern Pass, except that you can choose to buy it in smaller increments. And unlike Hearthstone, I don't …

Nozdormu Goes Speed Diving - Special Quest and Decks for April 2022

Noz Face Hunter worked great for me last year, but I’m not feeling it with the new cards. 3 losses in Ranked Standard - I ran out of steam in 2, and never had a chance against a Switcheroo Priest.
