Yeah I would say that the new balance patches have been very sucessful.

Lurk doesn't feel op as of yet. There's always gonna.be that dice roll element.

Do I want to Yolo this attack and attempt to hit …

Its the patch to end all patches. It hits every single 55% winrate deck, it hits decks that are just irritating to play against, it hit Irelia Azir, and it buff vanilla cards nobody plays.

Can't really …

Yeah thats what I meant by printing opt from mtg. The whole draw fix draw thing that has been a stable of blue control decks for as long as I can remember. Now P & Z can do it and …

I know I've been super meh about the card reveals so far, but today's 4 reveals are literally saving zillian as a champion.

Let's talk about everything they added to zillian as an archetype just today!

…

death from below's 4 mana...pretty sure they'll just bounce and get a free attack like always. Also you have to play pyke then get the board clear after the level so that's a end game win con if it lands …

what I'm saying is based on the reveals it will still be dominant...read the words with your eyeballs.

So there needs to be hard nerfs

Like let's say that lurk is tier 2 and has a 55 percent …

Yeah as the list plays now. You either play thaliyah onto salt spire and survive to have those pop and you win. Or you loose before then, either way malphite very seldom gets played at all. Things are just tooooo …

Every now and then I play a few games in diamond on my phone to see if the metas shifted and to make predictions for how new card releases will impact things.

But as far as I can tell …

Yeah thats not hard. Like again, expectations are tempered right now. This expansion is releasing an auto-build aggro predict shell when control predict still isn't a thing.

That strikes me as odd coming from mtg where the whole point …

Just gonna highlight a few of the interesting new cards

Has a home for sure, there are aggressive shadow lists that would rather have the nexus dmg over the draw 2

yeti tribal yes …

I'm just gonna keep beating this dead horse but if I was designing a game...and that's a big if because I'm a marketer. If everyone of my content creators who provided free advertising for my game said hey the game …

Yes they literally could have done anything and chose to do nothing until the next mini expansion. There is no possitive light to represent this choice in.

I'm talking about effort and design. Getting the art team to throw some assets out isn't hard. Rebalancing cards isn't either let's be fair. Here if you don't like Genshin let's talk about mortal shell an rpg soulslike developed by …

So proofs in the pudding when it comes to this sort of thing. Literally every content creator has complained that constructed is unplayable right now, most recently Swim when he reviewed the new skins. But Mogwai hasn't touched the game …

I'm gonna give an example, I play genshin impact on the side and you want to know what they released as a summer event?

Literally an island paradise with a boat to travel with as a seasonal event!!!

…

Yeah maybe. But all I can say is that they went on Redit to be like hey we're taking a more proactive approach. Then a month goes by between mini expansions and next to nothing is done.

That doesnt …

So we're getting pool party skins instead of balance updates before the next expansion.

Because skins make money I know and Riot is a business and we don't want them shutting down Legends.

But damn having …

I just meant that absolutely nobody talks about it. It's performing exceptionally well in the meta but nobody complains about it despite its relatively high power level.

That struck me as interesting...or at least what passes for interesting while …

We spend a lot of time talking about the sensational decks in LOR with amazingly fast win conditions or slower insta wins.

But what about the decks that don't do anything amazingly well but just happen to have strong …
