Legends of Runeterra

I honestly have no idea were this guy goes, Swim keeps thinking that you run these self damage cards with healing, I don't necessarily agree.

It's not enough to just play something slightly overstated, and heal it back to full.

You actually have to have a way to win the game.

Alternatively, you could try to go for Vlad, every one of these creatures you play that damage themselves means Vlad is going down leveled on 6

But I might be way off with that, maybe healing your followers is good enough on it's own, but I doubt it.

I’m curious because I’ve run into several games where my opponent have things happen that aren’t supposed to. Getting attack tokens without playing rally on my turn, Capture not capturing a unit without them playing and counter spells or spellshields, etc. I looked through the move list, and I didn’t see anything to give them the abilities they had. Any thoughts? Am I just being paranoid?

Here’s my Viktor Idea:

I think this is great personally, I'd love to see Ruinterra tackle all these mtg staple mechanics.

Just by having them take a place on the board already makes them far more balanced

Hopefully we don't get any mana cheating like fires of inventions because that killed standard for everyone.

Riot just teased the second part of the set : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSz0IwiqD1E&feature=emb_title

So we are getting 3 new champions with this one who do you think they're gonna be ?

I'm a little lost because there's a lot of stuff to experiment with. The game has a bunch of different modes and there's an exp based progression system that rewards you constantly for just playing the game. I spent this entire afternoon just playing against the A.I. to understand how some of the mechanics work and it was pretty simple to get through the Prologue rewards. The F2P factor is as good as people constantly say. After finishing the tutorial i was really surprised with the fact that all three decks were given to me for free. It seems that i will gain more free stuff in one week of playing Runeterra than the amount of free stuff i got from HS in about three and a half years.

The game has some really cool level up animations for each champion and for some of their spells. It isn't as complicated as i thought it would be but i'm still getting used to the whole blocking thing. HS was the first competitive card game i played so i got used to playing blockers (taunts) during my turn and praying that my opponent has no way of getting through them. It adds another layer of complexity because i need to determine which units to sacrifice, if i should block or just let damage get through to protect valuable units and i need to consider spells as well. The only A.I. opponent i had some trouble with was a Shen/Karma deck that had quite a few barrier spells and lifesteal and that caught me off guard during my attacking phase. Other than that, the A.I. opponents are extremely simple to deal with for someone with previous card game experience but they are still a great source of information before diving into the actual competition. I don't know if the basic free decks are good enough for the PvP experience though.

I still don't know if i will keep playing the game but i'm going to need some weeks playing it to see if it catches my interest permanently. It's pretty hard to play two online games like these simultaneously and i already put a lot of time and money into Hearthstone. What is going to be a big factor is the variety of decks (a good balance between aggro, midrange, combo and control) and predictability of matchs. The excessive RNG in HS pisses me off a lot but it's also the thing that hooked me to the game in the first place since i really like games with random generation (mostly roguelikes/rogue-lites but games like Terraria as well). Is there any other site besides this one that provides good information about decks? Or a good content creator that can provide information and help me learn more about the game?

Everybody knows that Lee Sin is a top tier card along with the new bastion but for whatever reason the decks all have a below 50 percent winrate currently, indicating that A these lists are super hard to pilot or B the lists are not properly optimized.

Either way there are solutions that can fix both of these issues.

The first is tempo Lee/Zed similar to the old stand alone lists, you essentially present a big impossible to remove body that swings for lethal.

It runs tools like goat and mentor, and it's a list that was popularized by Swim

Only issue is that it also has a 47 percent winrate due to either being unoptimized or too big brained for the average player

But nobody has explored Lee's control potential, what if instead of being all in on tempo in Targon, a region that's really bad at tempo

We went the opposite direction, we went control. Well what are good control cards in Targon/Ionia

You have Karma or you have Asol.

I think control Lee hasn't really been explored and I'd like everyone to post their ideas down bellow.

Here's one to get started
