Hi, i'm new to this game (play it since may 15.) .

 

Are Unassailable Decks good vs Meta?

 

What protector shall i choose? 

Welcome to Runeterra!

None of the keywords you mention match LoR English keywords, so I am going to assume you're translating from …

I too was surprised. Although honestly: I am more surprised at the underwhelming Frejlord buffs buff. The region has been persistently dead last place in tournaments, ladder, and 3rd party meta reports, yet the only change is giving Tavernkeeper vanilla stats. The region is still weak on 1-3 drops and has very few catchup mechanics.

Personally I think 20 Nexus HP is appropriate but that they should make healing more accessible. It's pretty nutty that right now if you want to make a control deck, you pretty much have to include either Ionia or Shadow Isles to reduce your opponents' reach.

Great guesses everyone! I count my final tally as 2 hits, 2 close, and 9 misses out of 13 total. DoubleSummon had the most hits--6 direct, 2 close--but he also had a lot of misses so I don't know how you want to weigh that. :-P Shout-outs to CursedParrot on coming close to Badgebear and Hellcopter for close on Boomcrew …

I should have prefaced: these are my predictions for what Riot will actually patch, not necessarily what I would like to see patched. I'm basing off patterns I've noticed:

• Overly popular early-game followers tend to get health reduced (e.g., [runecard]Frenzied Skitterer[/runecard], [runecard]Chump Whump[/runecard], [runecard]Crowd Favorite[/runecard], [runecard]Kinkou Lifeblade[/runecard])
• Overly popular champions either also get health reduced or lose …

Thanks, Neon! This is just what I needed for the 3-day weekend: some fun off-meta decks to play around with!

I want to play the MF + Quinn deck, and maybe the Swain + Sejuani deck. Of those 12 cards though, I only own two Sejuanis DX Too many things I want to craft, …

What do you guys think about Spider Decks?

They're cool. Not really my thing, but I do really appreciate all the synergies they created.

Here's mine:

• [runecard]Boomcrew Rookie[/runecard] from 1/4 to 1/3
• [runecard]Used Cask Salesman[/runecard] from 3/2 to 2/2
• [runecard]Loyal Badgerbear[/runecard] from 4/4 to 4/3
• [runecard]Unyielding Spirit[/runecard] increases from 8 mana to 9 mana
• L1 [runecard]Vi[/runecard] from 2+/5 with tough to either 2+/4 or no tough.
• L1 [runecard]Jinx[/runecard] from 4/3 to 4/4
• L1 [runecard]Shen[/runecard] from 2/5 …

Quote From Vincent3383

I have one. Make it so Avalanche also gives everyone frostbite, your guys too, so you can combine it with Winters Breath for 11 mana and get a full board clear but not be able to fully capitalize on it till the next turn. So it will be a situational combo.

I …

Lol that's definitely a unique way to promote the game. I'm not sure if I'd actually attempt to recreate of any of them besides maybe the ceviche, however...

Quote From Vincent3383

I feel like most of this BS could be solved if there was no limit to how many factions you could use. That way you could always slot in a card for almost any situation you may come across. But I get it. Since there are no mana …

I would replace the single copy of [runecard]Take Heart[/runecard] with a single copy of [runecard]Battle Fury[/runecard].

I would probably also take out the single [runecard]Navori Conspirator[/runecard], single [runecard]Brittle Steel[/runecard], most if not all [runecard]Windfarer Hatchling[/runecard] and possibly some combination of [runecard]Kinkou Lifeblade[/runecard] and [runecard]Greenglade Duo[/runecard] in exchange for 3x [runecard]Eye of the Dragon[/runecard], 3x [runecard]Deep Meditation[/runecard], 2-3x [runecard]Retreat[/runecard], and …

You probably want to cut [runecard]Blade's Edge[/runecard], [runecard]Black Spear[/runecard], and [runecard]Fresh Offerings[/runecard]--they just aren't that strong. Other cards that look dubious are [runecard]Culling Strike[/runecard] and [runecard]Noxian Guillotine[/runecard]--I get why they'd be useful sometimes, but overall I think this archetype wants to focus on putting the most power on your board ASAP rather than trying to control the opponent's.

Replacements …

Definitely add 3x [runecard]Salvage[/runecard]--that card is good enough to be run just for the card draw, much less when you also value the toss.

I'd also cut at least 1--arguably 2--[runecard]Terror of the Tides[/runecard]. He's going to feel really bad to have multiple copies in your hand before you go deep--and unlike Eye, Devourer, and Hoarder which are sometimes …

Can someone define Burn Deck for me? 

[runedeck]951[/runedeck]

Well, my favorite "interaction" is hands-down [runecard]Draven[/runecard]'s response to [runecard]Teemo[/runecard]: https://twitter.com/disguisedtoast/status/1195773969279803393?lang=en

But as far as combos go, I've been playing a lot of [runecard]Maokai[/runecard] level up -> nexus damage -> 2x [runecard]Pilfered Goods[/runecard] = you're dead at the start of your next turn.

Quote From linkblade91

I like the idea of Vi's card - and I love the character of Vi - but I don't like the rest of Piltover/Zaun :( I've left it at zero progress.

Good news: there are a ton of decks right now where [runecard]Vi[/runecard] is the only P&Z card they run. :-)

I would probably drop [runecard]Shellshocker[/runecard]s and [runecard]Black Spear[/runecard]s for [runecard]Salvage[/runecard] and [runecard]Jaull Hunters[/runecard].

An [runecard]Atrocity[/runecard] or two as a finisher wouldn't hurt either.

Quote From meisterz39

I really want Avalanche to be better, and I like your suggested changes to it in general. 4 damage might be a little high for a card that can come down on turn 3, but it definitely needs either a speed or damage buff. I also like the Poro Herder change (I've been trying to …

Quote From Hellcopter

Agree with all your changes except the Counterfeit one.
There are other applications for this card outside the Elnuk combo.
i've been running Counterfeit Copies in a Purrsuit of Perfection + Heimerdinger deck and it works very well as it is.

I'm intrigued--what do you copy? The Purrsuit? Heimer? [runecard]Flash of Brilliance[/runecard]?
