... and now comes the hard part in figuring out how this would work mechanically ;).

 

My initial response was: "just copy existing MtG formats like Two Headed Giant and/or Emperor". The more I thought about it, though, the less I like this because:

• From a software prospective, …

Interesting deck, but unfortunately 2x [runecard]Katarina[/runecard] is too rich for my blood.

What are your thoughts on running 2/2/2 champions versus 3/3?

Sidenote: I have to say, as much as I like the gameplay, I have been disappointed so far at the amount of deckbuilding options for my F2P / 3 hours a day approach. I didn't expect …

In general: the champions' Level Up effects are instantaneous--i.e., "faster than burst". A good example of this is the [runecard]Jinx[/runecard] + [runecard]Rummage[/runecard] combo: if I have 4 cards in hand including the aforementioned, I can play Jinx, then at any time I can play the Rummage spell at burst speed. Even though the latter action will end with me having …

Quote From Tuscarora87

We have 3 free Expedition entries? I thought we got only one token.

1 token is redeemable for 3 individual runs, and each run has 2 trials so its up to 6 attemtps total.

EDIT: OK I would have sworn when I popped my token it said something about having 3 …

Quote From Almaniarra

I recommend you to play all(3) Expeditions until Tuesday to be able to collect champion cards. It will be also wiser even you don't like draft mode because it costs only 4000k Shards which Champion Wildcards is also same cost and it is guaranteed to get a champion card even you lose your drafts and …

Yeah, barrier in general is weird. It's worded like it gives immunity for 1 turn, but it acts like HS divine shield but without preventing "strike" effects. I too wish they were more clear about this. 

Quote From Glaive

Do you get any sort of bonus to the starting region that notices you after the prologue rewards are finished or is it just the one you get from using most of their cards?? 

It's more like: during the prologue, your XP always goes towards 1 shorter progression path that rewards random …

Quote From Kinxil

- Can you expect to build a full deck within reasonable playtime ? I usually play 2 class at most in a CCG (since LoR is "dual classes" with regions I expect to play from 3 to 4 of them). I'd prolly be satisfied with 2 serious deck and 3-4 meme decks.

…

I wasn't in the closed beta, but I did spend last night playing and I'm in a similar frame of mind as you (been playing HS almost daily since Boomsday, F2P except for buying the adventures, curious-yet-reluctant to explore other games), so maybe you'll find my opinions useful.

I will admit that ~3 hours in with $0 spent, I …

I'm worried that I might be breaking etiquette using emotes... I get that Braum is like "greetings", Jinx is surprise/amazed, Darius is face-palm/mistake, Heimerdinger is thinking, and poro is sad/disappointed, and I think  Shen is well-played, but I don't know. Is he supposed to be more like a threat? Have all my attempts to respectfully acknowledge my opponents at the …

I've been totally ignoring my rewards and just grinding XP, but I figure at some point I'll need to understand and optimize my consumable resources. From what I can gleam:

• "Coins" are the in-game exchange for real-world cash; they can be converted into other resources
• "Wildcards" have a corresponding rarity and can be converted into any desired …

Quote From Destero

To confirm with the scenario above. Is the only way to deal damage to the enemy nexus requires you to have more cards on the field than the opposing team so the "extra" cards attack the nexus directly with the attack/defense only localized to the opposing card?

As others have pointed out, …

Is there no way to add recent opponents?

It seems a bit...let's say "odd"...if the only way to add friends is to have 2 pieces of information, one of which could only be distributed outside the game client.

Quote From GypsiHunter

Looking forward to trying this tomorrow but I don’t really know anything. I understand you get rewards geared towards specific regions. My question is, what region would be a good place to start

I asked the same thing before I started, and it prompted a big long discussion. Here's the thing I …

Quote From BoltBase

I got 7 wins in my first trial. From everything I can find it seems like the second trial is simply a redo and your better result is counted, but has anyone come across that not being the case? (eg. Trial 1 6 wins, Trial 2 5 wins giving a higher reward than Trial 1 …

Quote From Kinxil

Shouldn't we level regions to 7 instead ? The champ reward seems to be at this level (I did get Yasuo but it was on an epic loot so dunno).

You will eventually get all regions to max (20?); its just a question of where you want to be putting your XP …

Quote From Me0203

I haven't played this game, but it certainly is odd how the cards are worded. Writing in this first-third person makes it more verbose, which seems more confusing - why would the design team have chosen to do that? It doesn't always seem to be the case, as well.

 

It …

Thanks for all the advice, all! I was leaning towards Shadow Isles before I wrote this based on the below reasons; your replies clenched it.

1. It seems viable for aggro, which is (usually) more forgiving of card substitutions than combo & control archetypes
2. Has lots of 'Ephemeral' cards, which seem like a unique and fun archetype
3. …

Any thoughts about which regions might be better/worse for F2P players to pick to unlock first?

Quote From PopeNeia

My poor Bronze Explorers got eaten up yesterday...

I guess you could say he didn't come prepared?

...Don't worry, I'll show myself out.
