On the subject of voting in the finals, I just kept voting using the same system as I used before the finals, so most cards get 4-5 stars. I was under the impression voting your card 5 stars and all others 1 star is considered competing in bad faith, but if it’s acceptable by the community I guess I’ll also do it...
It does feel like competing in bad faith, but at the same time, not doing it is just going against yourself. Thats why i hope we will soon implement a rule that finalists cant vote in finals. It will remove the dilemma and level the playing field. It is not fair that if you dont "abuse" the system that you should be punished for it and you wont have to feel bad for doing so, because the temptation would be taken away from you.
Btw, congratulations to winning, looking forward to your theme :)
Ok thank you for the info. I don't think it is worth it to purchase the expedition with shards anymore. I will make an analysis on this and post it.
It depends on what do you consider as "worth".
It is a different game mode that can simply be more enjoyable for ppl, for those the recent changes are good, because it requires less shards each week to get to the infinite stage of the Expeditions (after you play 3, entry is free, but no shard rewards). It is also a lot better for ppl who dont want to spend time playing out expeditions or simply dont have time, so they wont lose out on the Champion, since it was moved to the very low Vault level reward. I guess the latter supports "not worth it" argument tho :) But it is still a good way to gain XP, if you can perform well.
The change is bad for ppl who liked to farm expeditions for additional shards, but the time requirement wasnt really worth the reward anyway, meaning the difference between the entry fee and the max reward. And the fact that you no longer can get 3 Champions per week from Expeditions rewards isnt that big of a deal, you can use the shards to just buy Champions you want. This is only a problem for ppl who wanted to main Expeditions and progress their Champion collection in the same time, which i can understand and i was one of those ppl, but have since moved to the "dont have time to play these", so im glad i get the Champion from the Vault.
So to sum it up, yes, if you look at it purely from the mathematical perspective of entry fee vs rewards, it might not be worth it. But there are other factors to consider for everyone individually imho.
Speaking off, how does it work when you Toss a card with puffcaps on it? Does it fizzle out or does it damage your Nexus?
The shrooms are gone without damage. The advantage of a Teemo deck is that doubling 10 shroom across 15 cards is just as deadly as doubling 20 across 30 cards. Otherwise: if you're counting on your shrooms for damage, against a Toss deck you'll generally want to save them until late game.
Ah, ok :) Tho id imagine that having to save shrooms for late game is not a very good strategy, same way when you do a Teemo deck in Expeditions, you cant really wait forever for them to draw into them, even if there is just 10 cards remaining in your deck. And you wont put a lot of shrooms there without giving your opponent a chance to kill off your Teemo first, so yeah, not the best counter idd.
Hi guys, I'm pretty new to the game, as I started playing on Saturday. I was searching for information about the game and what are the best ways to get cards and I found this article which is pretty awesome:
However, when I played my first expedition (I ended up getting 7 wins), I noticed that no champion was given. Insted of a champion capsule and 3500 shards as it says in that article I believe I got an epic capsule and 2000 shards.
I just wanted to confirm, Is this correct? Is this the actual reward for getting 7 wins in expedition? Or did I do something wrong? I didn't play my second trial, after getting 7 wins on the first, I quited the expedition.
I would appreciate an answer to my questions. Thank you.
Hello and welcome to the site :)
Yes, Expedition rewards were changed a while ago, the guaranteed Champion card was moved to the weekly Vault reward and some other shifts were made as well. You can read about it here.
You can check our articles with "runetera patch" tag to learn more about changes and you can follow the home page or Runeterra game portal for any news. We follow and report on any big (and sometimes small) news when it comes to Runeterra and everything around it, so you have come to the right place :)
Are you sure that they did not have overwhelm? Because if they did, everything works as intented.
What he said, would be better if you remembered which unit was the attacker that went through, we could identify if it had Overwhelm or not ... or if you remember if it got buffed (was it a Noxus deck for example?). Or make a screenshot whenever you see something off. Always make screenshots :)
This is a really unique way to showcase your Custom cards, i applaud you!
That being said, i think the Quest is too strong. 20 dmg is easy, especially since it would count from a "negative health", meaning you can Shield Slam a 1-Health minion for 10 damage and it would give the quest 50% progression. You can easilly bump it to "deal 40 dmg to minions" and it would still be very doable. And not only is the requirement very easy, the reward is insane, give your entire board Charge? This would basically become the original Warsong Commander for the same Mana Cost. I dont really like the ability at all, but if you want to balance it, Kur'Talos Ravencrest needs to have much higher Health, so it isnt that easy to just trade him off and give your entire board Charge.
You literally just made an account to come to a non-Riot affiliated forum to whine about a deck?
What do you hope to gain out of this?
While not the best opening post on any forum, we do welcome anyone who wishes to talk about the games we support, LoR being one of them, and he presented his arguments in a polite manner, so I expect this discussion to continue in the same spirit. Thanks.
No, just shake it off. As an alternative, you could eat a spoon of actual salt, that would technically cost money too and would produce some serious emotes, i bet :D
Im not gonna say that Seju+Teemo cant be oppressive, but it sounds to me like you just want to play a Yasuo deck and this isnt your match up. Well, as Hellcopter already said, look for better ways to deal with early Teemo. Noxus actually has some good Stun synergy as well, so there ya go.
I'm really mixed on this change overall. I kind of liked the board management aspect of having to keep a spot open for a new unit to play if you have a lot of stuff on the board. But on the flipside, it occasionally created very boring board states where you're left with nothing to do if your opponent refuses to kill any of your (weak) units. I'll have to see how it works out in practice before I can make up my mind.
Im sure if they did that, there would be another person complaining they have to click away the quest screen on every log-in. They cant please everyone.
Hey, i was first at something! :D Thanks for the shout-out. I went for something a bit unconventional, i was just browsing through my saved up art and i saw this beauty and decided to make a card for it :) Felt fitting, since dragons hoard loot :)

I wont argue about liking a card, but I will say that Long Shadows is beyond, and I mean beyoooond, broken :D
I like Senseless Potion, good flavor on that card too!

Preeeeetty good!
There is certainly a room for improvement when it comes to UI, i will agree with that.
Yup, I agree on both accounts.
Im sure if they did that, there would be another person complaining they have to click away the quest screen on every log-in. They cant please everyone.
CG! :)

TF and Graves are like Bud Spencer and Terence Hill :D They continue their goofy partnership from Leauge, love it! :)
There could have been a problem with the update, it was launch day after all, have you tried doing that again since?
