I really meant this to be more about the abstract sensation you get when you try to improve a deck and it ends up feeling worse. :-P But since people are interested in the specifics, I'll share.
Week One Version:
[runedeck]299[/runedeck]
This week's "improved" version:
[runedeck]509[/runedeck]
Light rant incoming.
The first week of the open beta, I barely had anything so I threw together my versions of the 3 starter decks (including exchanging Ionia/Zed for Noxus/Darius in the Jinx deck). Lots of mismatched odds & ends that just happen to be around the right mana cost/function, right? Ugly, but they win games--let's say 50-50. And …
From what I see streamers play, it looks like most successful decks are Ionia + Damacia that never fully commit to Fiora's win condition and keep up pressure by just beating down via elusives--e.g.:
[runedeck]403[/runedeck]
Biggest trick is remembering what burst options an opponent has (e.g., [runecard]Stand Alone[/runecard]), as you don't get the opportunity to counter-play with your …
This is actually much more complicated than you imply. There are many champions that you would never include unless you build your deck around them (e.g., [runecard]Yasou[/runecard], [runecard]Ezreal[/runecard]) and some which you can use as well-statted followers that can drop into any compatible deck in a pinch (e.g., [runecard]Kalista[/runecard], [runecard]Garen[/runecard], [runecard]Zed[/runecard]). I'd recommend heading over to the forums and creating …
It's kinda funny to see Noxus used in control decks. I don't doubt the effectiveness; it's just not what you think of for that region.
Quote From franky I'll give you a practical example why this card needs some changes.
I had a game where opponent was with a full board of tokens/creatures max power 2.
He was at 15 health, I was at 5 and I only had 1 unit on my board.
I was gonna lose, as simple as that.
I dropped Ledros, …
Overwhelm also punches through barrier--i.e., if he didn't have [runecard]Judgement[/runecard] and you had blocked the [runecard]Ancient Yeti[/runecard] with something and then gave it barrier, then your blocker would take no damage but your nexus would receive 5. (Not sure if that's as intended or not, but that's how it currently works.)
Quote From franky
Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master

Thank you so much, franky! That's been buggy me.
Yay Silver III.
I dunno, man. Late game epics are suppose to have a huge effect. And honestly, its pretty slow: if you are at 10 HP when your opponent plays it the first time, assuming no other damage or healing, that's 10 -> 5 -> 2 -> 1 so 4 times I have to replay him. Compare this with a [runecard]She Who …
I dunno man. I will definitely agree that Ionia is over-represented in the current meta, but that doesn't mean it's too powerful. Part of the reason why Ionia has so many gimmicks is because they don't have many heavy hitters. For example you mention barrier: the only time I've seen barrier outside of Expedition is with Fiora. And the only …
Quote From DoubleSummon Edit: turns out that it's great but I play around stuff I shouldn't XD
Lol. Did you make it to 7?
Quote From greenhatjynx78 so I started to play open play EXPS for the XP but i having such a hard time against noxus agro decks if i dont draw my early game i get crushed by my OP non blockers and legion mauraders katarina is so hard to deal, and i dont feel like my non SI decks …
Quote From zorlo So spider decks/shadow isles decks are definitely getting nerfed right? its such a non-interactive deck to go against. They puke spiders all over the board then buff their attacks and if you try to defend yourself they have cards like "3 mana if 3 followers died summon a 6/6 with fearsome" you literally get punished …
I would say its practically necessary to have at least 2 cards for unit removal in any deck, and if you have limited options [runecard]Detain[/runecard] is serviceable. I would never call Detain an auto-include, though--if collection size wasn't a factor, there are are probably more well-rounded options ([runecard]Vengence[/runecard], [runecard]Will of Ionia[/runecard], [runecard]Thermogenic Beam[/runecard]) and cheaper options with a small caveat …
Quote From Grumpy000 what "obliterate" means (She who wanders)? tks
If you know MtG: it's like Exile.
I personally haven't experienced anything like that, but this is an open beta. You could fill out a support ticket, but most likely its 1000 XP lost to the wind. :-(
I agree with BlueSpark. I think the thing now is that regions need a little fine tuning and that might not happen until the next expansion at this rate. You use the example of Frejlord: they actually have good challenger offerings too from [runecard]Stalking Wolf[/runecard] and [runecard]Rimefang Wolf[/runecard], but they kinda feel like a weaker version of Damacia's. Ideally, Frejlord …
Quote From BlueSpark I'm with FortyDust. Maybe I just don't get the mentality of today's playerbase (in Hearhtstone, for instance), but I think expecting compensation from a developer for nerfing a card that you own is the definition of entitlement. The devs aren't maliciously stripping your hard-earned cards of their power - they're balancing the game to bring …
I wouldn't exactly call getting Vlad lucky, Toad. He's probably the least-played champion in the game right now. :-P
Every expedition run ends in at least 1 random champion. Keep in mind that for 3000 shards--the same as the price of starting a new Expedition--you can craft a champion of your choosing, so it's not a great deal unless …
