Its shame that missing duplicate rule seems to be disabled, if it would be still on it would guarantee at least 260 dust/pack.

It is not disabled. But it will not work on card you already owned. So if you for example have two Crimson Sigil Runner

I like where both your heads are at on this. Specifically, I would recommend:

  • Changing [runecard]Avalanche[/runecard] to either 4 damage or to fast speed. I spent a lot of time trying this month to make this card work, and even with a glut of P&Z / Noxus burn decks and Demacia bannerman decks it just stinks. The burn …

I've been playing something very similar to that TF/GP "keg control" deck. It's effective, but so stressful to play! Much more than my other control decks. You really need to put a lot of thought into when you're going to drop your kegs and how exactly you intend to use them, since they are nearly impossible to protect for long. 

  • Thematically, I love SI. They have a feel that is unique and intuitive. It reminds me of M:tG Sultai / Golgari without the clunkiness of dealing with a discard pile. I also really like how it has a glass cannon feel thanks to Ephemeral, Can't Block, and Fearsome tags.
  • Balance-wise, I would concur with the general consensus that …

On the one hand: any significant new game in the genre is a potential for both developers and players to learn and enjoy, so it is hard to frame this as anything other than good news.

On the other hand: I'm extremely troubled by how Valve has treated Artifact so far--especially how they went radio silent as their play-rate …

As an aside: I have no idea whether its worth the time/effort to do it, but I really liked that format from the https://outof.cards/legends-of-runeterra/1322-twitch-rivals-legends-of-runeterra-showdown-results-and-decklists article. Each decklist was effectively nested within a button, so you could expand and contract and potentially see every deck on the same page as the article--unlike for example this page, where I need to click …

The most popular (only?) constructed Sejuani deck I've seen has been Teemo + Sejuani. If they draw into a puff cap, it will trigger the frost bite. I've seen some interesting Ashe + Sejuani theorycraft decklists as well, but not actually being played.

Really? Granted, I've been playing mostly unranked games, but I'm seeing almost constant Noxus+P&Z burn and Demacia Bannerman--very few control decks in sight.

It's nice to see some of my favorite HS streamers participate; I hope they stick around. Many of them were active during the closed beta, and ironically now that the game is actually released they're barely playing LoR.

Honestly, the only thing about the klepto cards that annoy me is that I really want to build a deckbuff deck around [runecard]Shared Spoils[/runecard], [runecard]Avarosan Hearthguard[/runecard], and [runecard]Ursine Spiritwalker[/runecard], and the very thought of putting in all that effort to an (at best) Tier-3 deck only to have my opponent steal and play my own buffed units against me makes …

Quote From Grumpy000

Is riptide so good to be used in several deck? If Nautilus is in play usually you are going to win in any case, otherwise it's just a very expensive STUN ...

Most of the time I've seen [runecard]Riptide[/runecard] effectively used against me, its been as stall tactic with no Nautilus on …

[card]Recurring Villain[/card]. You think you've killed him, but then he comes back, see--like a cartoon villain!

So yeah, wasted many hours building decks around that silly card. There was a slightly viable priest variant back when Arms only cost 2 mana, but pushing it back to 3 pretty much killed it.

I'm not a fan at all of [runecard]Sump Dredger[/runecard]: sure, 4/3 sounds great on paper but in practice it usually just ends up trading poorly, and that discard requirement can make it super awkward. I'd much rather have [runecard]Mystic Shot[/runecard].

Another card you should consider is [runecard]Transfusion[/runecard]: I know it doesn't look as impressive as Brother's Bond since its …

Sounds like you need a new device more than anything.

performance on the 2 seem quite similar, so if you can’t run HS, don’t expect to be able to run LoR.

Personally I pla HS exclusively on mobile devices with zero issues

I too play both games on an Android …

Quote From DoubleSummon

I mean do you even remember HS have an exp system?

 

Yes--because I still remember fighting with it when I was first starting. In case you weren't being rhetorical: for each class, they lock 5 basic class cards behind progression levels 2-10. Some of them are fairly significant (e.g., [card]Kill …

Quote From DoubleSummon

But I saw some game play with a lot of mf/Quinn decks.. My question is the following: why Quinn? Seems like she is there just to take a champ slot, why not run gp or garden as better 5 drop. 

I mean the Quinn level up is kind of bad... And her stats aren't …

Quote From meisterz39

Eh - that article says the competition was only eight players in NA. I know the LoR community isn't huge as of yet, but eight data points is pretty small, and of those, fewer than half were playing Vi.

That is one way to look at it. Another way would …

Quote From Vincent3383

She is almost useless. Even if you run three it is as if you only have one. The power you build up doesn't stay on the others and unless you have her in your opening hand she takes to long to power up. And even if she does level up there are normal none champion …

Quote From meisterz39

Quick preface: I'm not trying to put Blizzard on a pedestal - they've done a lot wrong over the years, and Hearthstone is clearly less F2P friendly than Legends of Runeterra. Despite that, I think this article is really trash. It's honestly almost impressive how lacking in neutrality this piece is. The aggressively pro-Riot/anti-Blizzard bias …

It's interesting--you're essentially blending 2 common archetypes. Historically, prankster decks splash either P&Z or Noxus so they can deal direct nexus damage ([runecard]Mystic Shot[/runecard], [runecard]Get Excited![/runecard], [runecard]Devastate[/runecard]). SI + Ionia decks tend to be more on the control side, usually looking to win late with L2 [runecard]Karma[/runecard].

I would cut the [runecard]Scaled Snappers[/runecard] and [runecard]Greenglade Elders[/runecard], and I add …
