Hey everyone! Some of you may be interested in some videos I've put together for Legends of Runeterra. I'll keep them confined to this thread as I release them, if that's okay. The first three are when the game was newer and I've played casually since then, taking a short break the last few months. My most recent video is about diving into ranked play with the Grand Navigator deck! As I start to dive into competitive play, feel free to leave advice and feedback in the comments. Thanks!

I don't know why all I wrote was deleted but lets try again then^^

So for those who don't know what the Jungle lab is about: both players have a jungle monster on their side of the field which is vulnerable and immobile. Killing it grants you very powerful Spells- the buffs.

The problem with Spell Thief here is that you can steal Jungle buffs that your opponent played  and paying 1 mana to steal a 0 mana jungle buff that is worth about 5-12 mana is pretty unfair and basically punishes your opponent for playing the game.

Therefore I think Riot should eighter block the steal of buffs or remove spellthief from the game mode simply because it is way too powerful for 1 mana 

Ive been playing LoR for about a couple of weeks now and generally i didnt even look towards or try LoR, simply because i thought that Riot will also end up creating a annoyingly boring meta where a certain card(s) or deck(s) are overpowered and everybody plays those same cards, decks. This basically always happened in Hearthstone and in Gwent. Im not a long time player so i cant really speak all that much for LoR but what im about to write is something that seriously pissed me off with LoR.

Ill start by explaing why i hated HS and Gwent.

I hated Hearthstone due to the fact that there is no way a free to play player that didnt start day one or during the earlier period when Hearthstone released could properly play without getting absolutely destroyed by round 5 or 6 due to how few and useless cards the new player has. The game is way too grindy and there is no actual reward system whatsoever that would reward the player for completing dailies, quests etc. Even when the achievements finally came out, i still heard that they were absolutely useless and i just felt joy that i didnt even want to bother with HS.

I hated Gwent due to how much CDPR tried to make it like Hearthstone implementing a ton of new mechanics even though in the Witcher 3 Gwent was simple, amazing and fun. I loved that simple and fun Gwent. However and i bet people who have played Gwent can feel me on this one, having a Nilfgaard deck or "player" completely roll you by locking your cards, your hero power and refreshing his own hero power (hero power in Gwent can play a very big factor in actually winning a round or eventually winning the game) then yeah it wasnt fun, ESPECIALLY since there are cards in Gwent that literally let you just choose a card of your choice from your deck, basically a "win condition" and just blatantly win a round or the game. That seriously just pissed me off.

HOWEVER i HATE LoR CAUSE I CANT EVEN FUDGING PLAY THE GAME FOR THE 3RD DAY IN A ROW DUE TO "MATCHMAKING FAILED OPPONENT FAILED TO CONNECT".

Seriously wtf is even happening at or with their servers that this shitshow is still happening for the 3rd day in a row. I cant play it on PC or on Android and i literally just started to like the game, made a deck that rly seemed fun for me and wanted to try it out BUT OH WELL i guess i can only hope.

"200 years experience" indeed, cap. More like i will have to wait 200 fcking years just to finally play a game, jesus christ.

Howdy, I'm Taka. Been playing MtG since Lorwyn, YGO for a little bit longer, League since Xin Zhao's release, and Legends of Runeterra for about three days. I know I have a lot of room to get better at any of these games, but I believe my observations here still apply based on my previous experience in other games.

Anyhow, let's talk Shadow Isles, or the equivalent of MtG's Black if it decided to take steroids and throw any sense of opportunity cost out the window. Last breath, death bonuses, sacrificial combat tricks, hard removal, a hard sweeper, a fling, good aggro with Fearsome, drain on removal, and, probably the most annoying currently, Go Hard that turns into a one-sided sweeper and win-con. Not saying it doesnt have answers: Im sure it does. But it is overloaded with so much good stuff right now.

As for Elusive, this is more of an issue with the lack of answers available and how much value certain units with Elusive have. Sure, it is the equivalent of MtG's Flying, but at least Flying in MtG is either available to every color or can at least be answered by those where it isnt. Most of Noxus removal does nothing without an ally on board or without the elusive unit in question already being damaged, and Freljord has Frostbite which is less of answer and more of a stall tactic.

Apologies if this is inappropriate or unfounded; just been having a lot of frustration dealing with these two aspects of this game.

Howdy again! I've got another champion attempt idea, this time for Sion. I've been tempted to try and do things like Renekton and Xerath but seeing as I have no idea what the mechanics they have in mind for the faction as a whole are, figuring out even a vague approximation of balance can be rather tricky. That said I might at least take a swing at it if they haven't already done the reveals for them by the point that I get around to it.

In regards to Sion himself I tried my best to make him exactly what he is meant to be; a massive juggernaut that gives off a feeling of impending doom. That said I'm very much under the impression that he is rather weak. I got stuck in this awkward middle ground with him where I couldn't give him spellshield without feeling slightly off the brand for Noxus, but without it he feels like he would be too slow and awkward to get on the board. Whether I'm right though is hard to say so feel free to give me your view on the matter. On the more important theming end of things I think I did pretty alright.

Greetings, all! I wanted to share a little bit about what we're looking to do for Runeterra content for the new year.

• New weekly series, Wednesday Deck Spotlights, which go in-depth to a specific deck including mulligan guides, card substitutions, etc
• More deck roundup articles that cover specific topics -- e.g., "Viktor decks"
• A complete set of beginner guides for new players. I realize these guides will be beneath everyone who's reading this forum post right now, but I think it's really important for OoC to have a solid knowledge base to help introduce new players to the game and lure them to our site
• More content for Labs and Gauntlets
• More engagement/recognition for community decks. Specifically, I'm thinking about something like a new monthly series that highlights some of the LoR decks submitted during that month.

Is there anything in particular you'd like to see more of? Meta decks? Off-meta decks? Please let us know in this thread.

EDIT: For some reason the way I used to add images doesn't work anymore, so I'll just post this imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/H2XIWEi

1. Add Nightfall restriction to Go Hard

With this nerf, Go Hard would be far more difficult to use and much worse on turn 1. It also opens up the card to being used in a Nightfall deck (the deck likely wouldn't be trying to get "Pack Your Bags"

2. Reduce Damage and/or increase cost of Pack Your Bags

This is the most likely nerf, and would make Go Hard worse against midrange decks. It also opens up more counterplay because if the opponent taps below 4 mana, you know they can't used Go Hard.

3. Change Pack your Bags to "Drain 6 from anything"

This is one of my personal favorite nerfs for the card because it removes the most frustrating part of Go Hard: the fact that it removes almost your entire board. By making Pack your Bags a single-target Decimate/Vengeance with healing attached, Midrange decks can suddenly do a lot better against Go Hard. This preserves the "finisher" aspect of the card while making it more fun to play against (similar to Jinx's rockets). 

Heya, y'all. With me having nothing to do this New Years Eve and with the Custom Runeterra section being so empty I thought I'd continue with my weird collection. Of the three I've posted thus far this one has me the most worried about balance. I don't know if she is too strong or to weak (leaning in the too strong direction) but I am still only trying to give an idea of a design. Did my best to offer a card that allowed unique gameplay but also offered something that felt like the champion. I did my best to show Ahri's mobile mage style of game play. I do think that the Charm spell might be too good but when comparing it to Troll Chant and cards of that sort it's hard to be sure.

Spirit Rush is not a collectable card by the way. It is only gained through the Level Up effect of the champion since otherwise I'd be offering damage removal to a faction in its entirety when that faction is not known for dealing damage at all. I had considered having Ahri's play effect be 'deal 2 to an enemy unit' or 'deal 2 to a random enemy unit' but I didn't want to take the damage aspect too far and thought adding some ephemeral synergy to her as well to make her a more flexible champion would be neat. Lastly I want to make it clear that Spellvamp as a key word is not meant to be something impactful enough to design a card around, it is useful yes, but healing your nexus for 1-2 isn't insane and thus I designed Ahri's Champion spell to be strong without it triggering. 

I'm sure I have plenty of other flaws in my design but that is why I share my work, to get creative criticism, so feel free to let me know what you think.

Edit: I made some minor changes due to wording I realized was awkward. This may have been a slightly overly ambitious champion design I'm realizing. >.>;  

Enjoy.

Howdy! Seeing as I got some rather positive feedback from my attempt at a Poppy champion for LoR I thought I'd make some other attempts. Once again as a side note, I make no promises of perfect balance. These are mostly just made to sorta preview a thematic direction I could see the champion being taken in. I did my best to base her on the play style she has in LoL.

I had some issues with making this forum but I actually managed to fix it I think? It seems to have the images. Anyway I'm not sure on the balance of this, and not even sure if this will stay up since I expressly asked them to take it down when I failed to put up the images. Either way I'm mostly just showing off the idea, I think balance wise I likely made her stats too high given her versatility but I wanted to share the concept at least and this was the only place I could think to given that there isn't a hub for custom LoR like there is HS.
