Now that we've seen 3 other champions, Quinn seems very dull. Don't get me wrong--the scout mechanic is good and she will see play--its just that her decks are going to be very linear, like all those Rally decks that were popular ~a month ago. Step #1: get more stats than your opponent on board, Step #2: punish using multiple …

This card is either insanely good or really bad, and I love that I honestly can't tell which. The obvious combo is [runecard]The Undying[/runecard], but even something like [runecard]Haunted Relic[/runecard] or [runecard]Hapless Aristocrat[/runecard] gets crazy value with one of these in play. And of course, it turbo-progresses Malokai/Kalista/Lucian/[runecard]They Who Endure[/runecard]/etc. The problems though are 1.) this costs a lot of …

I'm going to call this card very good. I think the "stunned" option is a bit of a herring--I think it will get the most play in swarm decks where you just use it use as a 1-mana single-use guillotine to punish blocking--but the fact that it ALSO works on stunned units just makes it all the more useful.

I was under the impression that it was just a token but then I noticed the rarity gem. I checked Escaped Abomination (and Valor) to confirm that tokens don't have a gem, so it looks like it's collectible.

I'm interested to see if the premium stats will make up for the lack …

Keywords work very well with buffs, and freljord has a few.

Omen hawk into draw this is really strong

Agreed--and I think you probably only really like this card if you're playing Omen Hawk and Hearthguard. Otherwise, I think you'd probably prefer [runecard]Icevale Archer[/runecard] or [runecard]Avarosan Sentry[/runecard].

Obviously, the value in this card depends on the value of [runecard]Swain[/runecard]--if you're not playing Swain, you probably would rather just run [runecard]Battering Ram[/runecard].

I predict this will be a win-more card: if you start a round with both L2 Swain and this in play, you deal 3 nexus damage + stun the 3 strongest opposing units. Then you …

The strength of this card is going to largely depend on [runecard]Karma[/runecard]. If Karma continues to dominate control archetypes and Riot doesn't change any of her interactions, Malokai is going to be DOA: control players are just going to wait until after the deck obliteration, then drop an L2 Karma and [runecard]Karma's Insight of Ages[/runecard] multiple Karmas back into their …

I'm of 2 minds on this card. The obvious comparison is [runecard]Thresh[/runecard]: they have similar stat lines, and Thresh is strong enough to include in many decks. However Thresh can be relatively easy to level up, and most Thresh decks get a huge power spike if he's able to pull a free Lux / Kalista / Tryn / Anivia. I …

Very solid card--it won't be for every deck, but it will get a lot of play. Basically its a [runecard]Get Excited![/runecard] except instead of discarding it costs -1 mana the turn you draw it / +1 mana every other turn and it can't go face. That last point will be a deal-breaker for some burn decks, but more control-y/midrange-y decks …

5 years, 10 months ago · on New Piltover & Zaun Spell - Gotcha!

Agreed--this card is going to see a lot of play in a lot of decks:

  • The 2 mana 2/3 stat line is solid
  • She can chip in 2 nexus damage on-demand which will appeal to aggro/burn decks
  • The aforementioned damage will progress Sejuani and Swain
  • She's deals self-damage which activates Noxus crimson units, Frejlord battlescar …
Quote From CursedParrot

This seems very bad. It would need to survive for at least 4 more rounds after being played to put it on par with Decimate. 

I admit its a little underwhelming, but keep in mind: 

  • It can block--and 5 HP probably means it will probably survive its first block

Anybody else experience this tyranny there?

My tone on this site is probably what you would consider exceptionally milquetoast so I don't really feel qualified to answer your direct question. I will say though that, when this site first started, I originally tried splitting my attention between both here and HearthPwn, and …

[quote from="Author"]Another major difference about this video is that it doesn't feature the Champion from the first video, in this instance, Yasuo. Instead, it features Shen and a (currently) non-playable Champion for Ionia, Akali. Could it be that Akali will be the new Champion for the region, and not Lee Sin, as suspected? This could also explain why they didn't …

If i'm not mistaken, we are only getting ONE new region in the next 120+ set of cards...

The official announcement strongly implied but didn't explicitly state that we would get just 1 new region:

5 years, 10 months ago · on Should we hoard Expedition Tokens?

I'm not the biggest expedition player--I think the format is fine, but personally I only want to play when I can do both trials in one long uninterrupted session so I often end up just playing normal constructed games for daily XP--and lately I've been procrastinating so much that my stock of tokens from the weekly vaults has been starting …

Quote From Thonson

Great! Now I can safely play Magtheridon without worrying if my meme dreams will be crushed for zero mana.

Indeed--you only need to worry about [card]Faceless Corruptor[/card], [card]Polymorph[/card], [card]Hex[/card], [card]Deadly Shot[/card], and the exceptionally likely possibility that your opponent can still kill you first. All of which consume more than zero mana.

Greetings, fellow Deckbuilding & Sharing forum-browsers! 

In the interest of not leaving this forum empty, I submit to you my Shadow Ashe control deck. I know I posted this on the General Forums about a month back and that thread didn't get much activity; however I'll post it again here just because I find this deck so cool and …

Her level up is hard to do but it's fine, she is good as is..

I would say her level is hard to rush, but not necessarily hard to do. I think most games that go 10+ rounds, those first 10 rounds include both players taking nexus damage on at …

Greetings, fellow LoR Card Discussion forum-browsers!

In the future, this forum will be mostly populated by threads about specific cards as they're announced. Since we don't have that yet, though, I'd like to propose: which individual card do YOU think the LoR community is most polarized about--i.e., some many vigorously argue its too powerful while many also argue its …

Quote From Hellcopter

Well, i just thought it would be nice to have a reference for how long it takes to compare it with other games, not that i was aiming for it anyway.

It's kinda of an awkward metric, since going 90% -> 100% probably takes as much time as going from 0% -> …
