Quote From Theodrinus

So what are the strats? What's the best passive and packages to pick for both Leona and Diana? I'm kind of missing these from the article. I'm rather new to LoR and can't judge power levels well.

Sorry, Theodrinus -- I thought about doing a "best" comment on each, but honestly playing …

https://lor.mobalytics.gg/stats/archetypes

If we go to the stats page of mobalytics we notice a total overhaul to how the website is calculating win-rates instead emphasizing individual deck-lists with smaller sample sizes aka games played.

Riot has indicated that they value gameplay diversity and highly discourage any 3rd parties from "solving" the meta. …

Quote From sto650

Spellshield does NOT counter frostbite from abilities - e.g. Icevale Archer, Sejuani, and Ashe's attack. I guarantee 100% that these abilities go right through the spellshield. It does counter harsh winds though.

Rule of thumb:

  • Spells always get negated by SpellShield 
  • If it is a unit-based skill that …

Lee Sin is going to be over the top insanely good for the next two weeks. That buffed Bastion is going to make him insanely consistent.

That honestly is a fair point. We'll see -- maybe we'll go back to an aggro-centric meta just because everyone wants to out-rac Lee Sin decks. …

Quote From minuano28

Why do you guys assume that the new art was done by a different artist? Do could've just asked the original artist or art team to tweak their design a little. 

I'm pretty sure both the old and new art are done by the same art team -- SixMoreVodka. But even if …

Quote From Topandito

Lovely. No offence meant to the artist of the old version, I'm sure they are great, but I do think they missed the mark just slightly with the first version.

I'm glad they did this, but at the same time I feel really bad for whoever the original artist was.

"Everyone …

[runecard]RADIANT GUARDIAN[/runecard]
POWER: 5 → 4
I don't get this either. The difference between 5->4 attack on curve 5 is HUGE. Its much bigger then they are expecting.
Not only that but there will be times it won't be possible to activate her effect. A vanilla 4/5 that costs 5 mana is terrible.

Quote From FortyDust

Not even a mention of Lee Sin as something they are watching?

DISAPPOINTED

TBF, they didn't post any watch list in these notes so you don't know what they're looking at. And honestly, I don't even think [runecard]Lee Sin[/runecard] is that problematic; he's just very popular right now. I'd much rather …

Quote From Phaseshifter

I mean, I'm not complaining, but where is that bonus xp coming from? and how long will it last?

Every region except Targon provides +50% bonus XP towards its region rewards up to Level 12 -- I assume you are referring to that. It only applies to the associated region reward progress …

I predict he's going to go from a 3/2 to a 2/2.

Quote From memakedecksyo99

Feels like all I see on ladder right now is Leesin/Targon or Trundle/Targon.

I personally feel that's more about players acting like sheeple when choosing which decks to play rather than any indication of balance.

Honestly, I think every region right now has at least 2 other regions …

Quote From anchorm4n

So much to read, so little time.

Granted the following advice might not be as applicable in the current state of the world, but before the pandemic I made huge progress with my reading lists by downloading free audio books from my local library and then listening to them on my daily …

Quote From Fluxflashor

The wild cards were fun for a little bit, but they were here for too long. If they did it for a certain week, I could accept that more than the entire month (or two in the previous case).

I think Doom in the Tomb would have been fantastic had they done …

Quote From anchorm4n

I am entertaining the thought to try Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series for a third (or fourth?) time. I've never managed to get past book 4 because he's all about character development and I prefer faster plots.

I highly enjoyed Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, but you are absolutely …

I didn't play much after the last patch, but it seems it was amazing for the game

I really was. Between the Ez nerf and the Lee and Heimer buffs, it really opened up a lot of design space

Every time I read this forum title, I mentally picture it being the setup to a Triumph the Insult Comic Dog meme...

5 years, 5 months ago · on LoR is a fantastic game...

I like the "ban champions, not decks" concept. In practice it's going to have a similar effect to the region-limitation most tourneys have been using -- you don't want to include Aurelion Sol in 3 decks just to see him get banned -- but thematically it makes it feel more like say LoL than HS.

Quote From thazud

On the downside it means that [runecard]Cloud Drinker[/runecard] probably won't see play anymore. 

Agreed, but I think that's more about [runecard]Cloud Drinker[/runecard] being an incredibly weak card outside of very niche applications. Honestly, he could use a nerf-reversion back to being Enlightened: Reduce by 2 -- it made sense at the time, …
