If my games last night are representative of what Season of Fortune will be like, the meta we'll see will be:

  • Braum + Vladimir battlescars
  • Braum + Sejuani tempo/buffs
  • Braum + Lux poros
  • Nautilus Deep

In my opinion, it should be Give all allies +X/+X this round, where X is the number of spells you've played. In most cases, that would play like a sup'ed up [runecard]For Demacia![/runecard] The fact that the current implementation "undoes" your units' existing stats is just too restrictive IMHO--it means you can ONLY play this card in decks with …

they even nerfed his condition for drawing, now he needs to survive an enemy spell. 

He always needed to survive; they just made it explicit in the text.

My favorite salt is coursely ground sea salt. The larger granules make it taste much more potent than normal table salt while actually having less sodium.

Many foodies will insist on pink Himalayan sea salt, but don't be fooled--there is nothing nutritionally or texturely different from pink Himalayan and other sea salts. The pink coloring is due to mineral …

So this is just expedition but you bring your own deck instead of making one as you go.

Looks like. My question is: can you attempt multiple runs, or is it one-and-done? And if multiple runs: will each be free or will there be a cost circa expeditions and HS Brawlnasiums.

I'm surprised that in their "spruce up a few Epic cards that aren't seeing a ton of play" patch, they decided to buff [runecard]The Harrowing[/runecard], [runecard]Captain Farron[/runecard], [runecard]Aurora Porealis[/runecard], and [runecard]Genevieve Elmheart[/runecard]--all of which were under-represented yet still saw some play--yet didn't touch [runecard]Silent Shadowseer[/runecard], [runecard]Spectral Matron[/runecard], [runecard]Chief Mechanist Zevi[/runecard], or [runecard]Overgrown Snapvine[/runecard], all of which are effectively unplayable.

That sounds awful.

I can't think of anything beyond standard protocol, namely:

  1. Uninstall the game
  2. Restart your computer
  3. Reinstall

Beyond that, I'd try Riot support. They can be a little slow to respond, but they are generally fairly helpful.

That is both incredibly sad and petty if true and also the only plausible explanation I can even imagine.

WotC sounds more and more like an incredibly frustrating place to work.

Maybe for when they start adding different modes and/or tournament features (although honestly things like an official timer and spectator mode would do so much more for that), but not for ranked. Ranked is currently a quick best-of-1, and I think that's the way it should stay.

Well I'm reaching that point where you have to shift from value to probability because I'm stuck at plat 1. How do you make that change in mindset? 

I'm not really sure how to help you--for me, that IS this game. Every move, including just passing, has upsides and downsides to both …

Quote From Tuscarora87

Are you sure about "Allies" ...that it targets your Nexus, too?

 

Initially, many cards ambiguously referred to "Allies" sometimes also meaning Nexus. They have been tweaking the wording since through the patches to explicitly identify when Nexus is an option, implying that "Ally" doesn't include Nexus.

Examples: [runecard]Health Potion[/runecard], …

It's not really fair to compare MF to Anivia. MF is a tempo / early game champ like [runecard]Elise[/runecard], [runecard]Draven[/runecard], [runecard]Teemo[/runecard], [runecard]Lucian[/runecard], or [runecard]Zed[/runecard]: they are easy to play on curve, moderately difficult to level up, relatively easy for your opponent to remove, and if you do manage to successfully level them up they inflict significant-borderline-game-winning punishment.

Anivia is …

Wait aren't those 5 different people? I mean in every card art I see a coffin dance meme.

The guy in 2, 3, and 7 definitely is the same guy. 8 is hard to tell, but given the flowers I'd say so. 1 looks like someone else.

Side note: this guy …

A controlly-combo deck with an OTK they never see coming:

[runedeck]1018[/runedeck]

Fun with vulnerability:

[runedeck]1017[/runedeck]

Why attack your opponent's nexus health when you can attack their deck?

[runedeck]1003[/runedeck]

I'm sad mono-Demacia is so popular. It can pick literally any non-champion card from the collection in exchange for -2.6% chance for bannerman trigger, and its like: "nah, I'm good".

So I'm on the fence about trying either [runecard]Miss Fortune[/runecard] or [runecard]Fizz[/runecard]--both look really fun but for totally different reasons, and I'm 0/3 on both. Meanwhile I've got 3/3 TF and 2/3 of Naut & GP. Then I notice that I'm at Level 16 for Bilgewater rewards so I figure: I'll push that region, pick up the wildcard at L18 …

Is there an article anywhere that explains how LoR’s ranked system works? Most of it is self-explanatory, and this blog post filled in a lot of the gaps. (I had not found a list of tiers or an explanation of season resets anywhere before this. I had seen a mention of cosmetic rewards before, but …

Dude, do me a favour and don't be a bad role model teaching kids to play burn.

For those reluctant to click the link: it's a Youtube link to Swim's "weekly" meta report, and he's making the case that Kinkou elusives are Tier 1 now if you cut the third copy of Elixir and Twin Disciplines in exchange for 2x [runecard]Fury of the North[/runecard]. I take exception to calling this "fixing"--it's only 2 cards that ~50% of …

Wait, does Jinx's level up effect check while a spell is resolving?

 

Like in the case of Rummage. If I only have two cards in hand, would she level up when I discard the first two cards? Before I draw the next two. Or does the effect have to wait until …
