Old LoL player who currently plays Hearthstone. How is Runeterra different?

Short answer: its better in every conceivable way. :-P

Ok, ok, trying to be serious:

• It's WAY more F2P friendly. You get the equivalent of 6-9 packs from vaults and then let's say another ~4 packs + legendary …

Actually, I was thinking the complete opposite: this totally guts priest's classic toolset. No more draw from cleric or PW:Shield and no more divine spirit shenanigans is HUGE, the mana decreases to unpopular cards are nice but I don't think any of them will be enough to push them to meta, and besides SW:Ruin all of the new cards are …

The one thing I don't like about it (or rather do like about it, since I don't play it myself and therefore only find myself on the opposite side of the board) is that its very predictable and linear. I'm impressed that both the games you highlighted were control matchups and you handled them fine, but I do have …

OMFG!!!

They buffed LOTS of cards that i run in my spider token OTK deck!!!
I managed to reach rank Master 35 with it last month... i wouldn't be surprised if token spider becomes a S tier deck now.

Brood Awakening at 5 is going to be NUTS!

Gratz--what's your decklist?

I absolutely loved:

• The Kalista rework. Honestly, she might be a little too good now, but as much time as she's spent in the dumpster Girl could use a little time to shine. The best part is: it's not just good, its novel. My mind is already spinning on all the ways to possibly abuse her L2 ability.
…

Hey guys! I've been having a lot of fun on ladder with this deck, and I thought I would share it because one of the key cards, The Rekindler, is ~80% likely to get nerfed tomorrow. (Side note: if you're missing cards, wait until after the patch notes before crafting any of the expensive stuff!) The basic core is the …

Quote From CursedParrot

The main issue I see with this is that champions like Teemo and Ezreal wouldn’t work as well, so these champions could be reworked or given “can only be blocked by elusives” instead of elusive.

The first part of this sentence is a great line of thinking--any proposed change to the elusive …

If she keeps the bond mechanic, I'd really like to see her mana cost change too--e.g., 4 mana for 3/5 stats. One of the big problems with using her in practice right now is that you need the bondmate on the board, and even the best targets at 2- mana (i.e., the turns before you can play Kalista on curve) …

Quote From SchitJustWorks

Alright, so I am DETERMINED to make Corina playable/competitive in some sort of deck prior to another set coming out. 

That's a big challenge, friend. My inclination would be to try a variation of the Ezreal combo decks with [runecard]Corina Veraza[/runecard] moreso as a tempo reset (circa [card]Reno …

I too don't like adding quick attack to Kalista; she starts to feel like a variation on Lucian / Zed / Jinx / Draven / Yasuo.

I don't mind Kushinade's idea of making her function more like The Undying.

I could also see something like making her like a 4 mana 5/3, bond gives no immediate benefit, and …

>.<

Ionia is definitely my least favorite region of the 6 due to pre-nerf Deny and elusive spam. It's gotten better, but I think I've been scarred.

Shout out to my favorite Noxus cards, [runecard]Legion Veteran[/runecard] and [runecard]battering ram[/runecard]. :-P

A note about Vincent Grand's Vlad deck/video: if you are going to play that deck, DON'T do like he does and drop Take Heart and Transfusions at the same time you announce your attack! You want to at least try to bait out direct damage & damage buffs from your opponent and play your buffs in response; otherwise there WILL …

Quote From Kushinade

What do you all think Riot will do to her in the next patch, since they mentioned her by name?

If they decide to rework her, I don't think it will anything I'd expect it to be. I can tell you what I would like it to be, though:

Option A: …

Quote From YourPrivateNightmare

I'm not sure this beats a turn 3 Solitary Monk + instant +3/+3....as well as another +3/+3 the turn after for a 10/9 beater that 2hits me and blocks anything i try to throw at him anyways.

It's not so much the Elusive keyword itself, but the fact that permanent buffs exist and damage is …

I would say Ashe is independently good but is having trouble finding a suitable deck right now. I think that's true of most mid-range decks in the current meta between elusives, Hecarim, and Elnuks its hard to control board before Round 10, and Round 10+ most decks have a finisher that provides a huge power spike.

I've actually been …

Quote From YourPrivateNightmare

funny because I was thinking of taking a break because of all the Elusive spam that fundamentally invalidates the core gameplay.

 

I guess we'll see in a week if they're able to correctly identify and address problems in the game.

I have a deck that's good against elusives too, …

I assume you're taking about the P&Z/Frejlord Ezreal combo decks.

The below deck melts those decks. They try to Mystic Shot / Thermo Beam one of your units? You burst its health high enough to survive. They frost bite your attackers? You sneak in damage anyways thanks to Vlad, Veterans, etc. It doesn't stand up nearly as well against …

Quote From Zolgear

I can understand Vladimir and Kalista having low play rates, but...Shen? One of the decks I see quite a bit is the Fiora/Shen barrier deck and it does quite well at that. Maybe they mean Shen being combo'd with other champions, but who knows.

Consider the following:

• Many Fiora + …

Have you tried [runecard]Rush[/runecard] in the Ionia/Noxus version?
