Andrew "Umbrage" Yip Leaves Legends of Runeterra & Riot Games

He's been a cool leader for the game, so it's sad to see him go.

Always makes me wonder what led to the decision - was it his choice or Riot's choice? But, we don't really have a right …

HS refugee, LoR is fine but where is the fun?

The most controlling deck I know of, in this game, is one that uses [runecard]The Howling Abyss[/runecard] as the wincon. Literally endless value once you drop it. Some lists include early blocker units, like [runecard]Avarosan Sentry[/runecard], but you can also …

Yeah, except baseball cards were for actual people who exist in real life and make their living by playing baseball.

Newbie Need some help

I think the closest to your first deck idea is probably a Deep deck, with Nautilus and Maokai. That being said, Deep is not very good in the meta right now, and it's a very punishing deck - if you …

3-21 Monday Meta Report is out!

https://masteringruneterra.com/lor-meta-march-21/

It's actually mostly the same as last week. Darkness control still has the highest playrate. 

Taliyah/Ziggs has not held up as a major contender.

Fizz Lulu has the highest winrate. 

Aggro is slightly more playable …

What is the rank distribution?

It appears that Riot doesn't publish that information for LoR. I have no idea why.

Apparently, the best the playerbase has gotten from Riot on this topic is that Platinum or higher counts as "high" rank.

The playerbase …

I can second the recommendation of The Girl With All The Gifts, it's a very original take on the zombie genre with a very cool ending. …

Is this deck Optimized?
Quote From Phaseshifter

Maybe I should have explaiend the deck's goal, as it may look like a regular teemo deck.

 

The three key cards are [runecard]Ballistic bot[/runecard] , [runecard]Puffcap Peddler[/runecard], and [runecard]Ambush[/runecard] (And I guess …

Head over to Mastering Runeterra for the full breakdown. Please note that all of this data comes from the competitive portion of the ladder - Platinum, Diamond, and Masters ranks. If you're playing at lower ranks, the decks you face …

New to card games.

My strongest suggestion matches with Phaseshifter - an Elise aggro deck is going to be the most accessible to you right now.

Here's one of the standard lists. Also, that website is one of the best ones for …

I agree with the suggestions that the other two people posted. I particularly like the idea of including Insider Knowledge. 

And to respond to your specific comment - yes, Hexcore Foundry is VERY good in your deck.

Mobalytics uses deck trackers for top ranked players.

Pretty sure the stats are fine...

But we can all find justifications for our delusions if we want to.

New(?) card game

Yes, you could describe the LoR combat system as reactive. I'd prefer to call it interactive and tactical - you can't just do whatever you want on your turn. You have to anticipate what your opponent will do. Likewise, you …

I mean, sure, you can invest your energy in a new, mostly unknown card game that looks kinda like HS, but is more complex and more interesting.

Rock paper scissors meta?

*Shrug* I haven't played much HS in the last two years, but this sounds pretty much like ladder HS has always been.

A high percentage of the time, the match is already decided by the matchup (first) and mulligan …

You'd have to know how many of each card you had before the reward was opened, in order to know if anything was added. Otherwise, I don't know of any way to see what was most recently added.
