Legends of Runeterra

Just curious how goes everyone's region progress so far for everyone has anyone on the forums already done with the region rewards?

Mine:

Demacia- 16

Freljord- 12

Ionia - 11

Noxus- 16

P&Z - 11

Shadow Isles - 11

Need an epic card, so if I craft all the epics (from the relevant region) apart from the one I need, will I have a 100% chance drop for the desired epic? Then I can just refund the unused cards?

What would happen if I get a champion capsule for a region and I own all of the champions? Would it simply switch to an unowned random champion?

This subforum is a little empty. Let's fix that, shall we?

I'll go first:

I tried to to capture as much of the big guy's character as possible:

- He's massive, the biggest champion in the game by far.

- The fact that he isn't affected by any spells (this include both AoEs and revive effects) represent his immunity to magic.

- Both his Level Up and the additional effect he gets when leveled up represent his empowerment from magic.

- His spell represents the fact that his mere presence nullifies magic (at least in combat).

- The Challanger represents his eagerness to fight.

I may be mistaken but i thought in a rank 10 Vault is at least one champion isnt it?

i just opend mine and i didnt get a single epic or legendary.

is tihs normal and i was just mistaken or shall i enter a ticket?

thanks

Does the copy lose all buffs?

If you look at Fiora's L2 full artwork, you see an awards ceremony.  I get that the 2nd place guy is the Laurent Chevalier punk, comically sulking because he lost to Fiora--but who is that 3rd place guy?  I would have expected it to be Laurent Protege or Laurent Duelist, but they're both blondes and this guy is distinctly brunette hair.  Is he unique to this artwork?

This has been bugging me a lot lately.  :-(

Any unit that has a "when you survive damage" effect will trigger when it has barrier. While that kind of effect is not hugely problematic today, it seems generally unintuitive to me, as the unit hasn't actually taken any damage. Other effects (like the "drain" from Grasp of the Undying) don't treat that as damage.

Has anyone else been surprised by this?

With the way you guys rigged the shuffler Algorithm people can run 3-6 champions and maybe like 3-6 followers and 28+ spells.  This isnt MTG, stop thinking it is.  Control decks in MTG require multiple colors of mana, as well as the cards to deal with the board.  A mentally handicapped child with no eyes and 33 IQ could play your version of a "Control" deck,  please stop sipping off the special ed juice can and balance your fucking game holy shit.  The fact you actually paid someone for the last set of balance changes, and then an even more special ed in the mind person was like "OH MAN THESE CHANGES LOOK GOOD I APPROVE".  If the world was run by Riot we would be worse off than the stone age.  How much do you require people to spend on the game to change the shuffler algorithm?

I'm getting beaten pretty badly at (bronze?) rank 3 while playing the Yasuo deck on the front page.  Perhaps I'm playing it wrong or this just isn't a good deck for this level?  Should I switch to an aggro deck?

Deck Code: Deck:CEAQ2AIFAEHBAFAWEIRSOKBKGE2TQAABAEAQKII

Primarly focus on board control and hopefully getting hecarim to place at roung 6/7. 

Good against most decks only decks that give me trouble are: Heim/Ez decks

Control decks are kinda annoying but as long as you can get board control early on and doge avalanche you will be fine.

So what's everyone think about the nerfs/buffs so far!? I'm honestly curious to see what everyone thinks about the fact that Lux has been buffed for a THIRD time now, which seems odd. I can't think of too many times in card games where cards were buffed multiple times. Plenty that were nerfed multiple times....=(

Also, from what I've seen so far on the ladder it seems like control isn't taking over after these nerfs which I think is AMAZING! I think it shows that there will be a very healthy metagame moving forward. I've seen plenty of Noxus/P&Z aggro decks that do just fine racing some control matchup's, etc. 

SOOOOO happy with the nerfs to Fearsome & Elusive's as well - they managed to significantly reduce their power while still ensuring that each card is 100% playable. Whatcha all think!?

If anyone's interested, I made a video reviewing all of the nerfs/buffs as well! You can check it out here. 

You need to cut the bullshit out with the shuffler algorithm.  Every single card game is dogshit now because you guys all rig the shuffler algorithm and think you're doing a good thing by auto organizing starting hand as well.  If you were to make a Runeterra trading card game, there isnt going to be someone organizing your hand and rigging the shuffler algorithm for you.  If you dont want your card game to be on the level of dogshit that MTG Arena and Hearthstone have fallen to, avoid the special ed approach. 

I just lost a match after my Yasuo didn't level up when I expected him to. I've always been under the impression that you can mix and match stuns and recalls to achieve his level-up requirement (e.g. recall 3 allies and stun 2 enemies).

However, this match points to the contrary. My deck had a lot of recalls and a few stuns. When my opponent attacked, my Yasuo was at 4/5. I set him to block and then queued the "Stun an attacking unit" spell. However, when battle commenced, my stun spell resolved properly (and Yasuo struck the enemy as he should), but Yasuo didn't level up (and consequently died). The next round, I played another recall effect, and suddenly Yasuo jumped to 5/5 (as I could tell by clicking on my deck).

So I'm wondering: Is it intentional that you have to apply either 5 recalls or 5 stuns? Or was my stun spell not being counted a bug that I should report?

 i almost reaching 10 tousand shards sould i spend some to not hit the cap? how much is the cap anyway? thanks in advance.

Inspired by Riot's stated philosophy that every single card should have a home, I thought it might be fun and useful to look at some of the cards we rarely see in the meta, and maybe help them find their way.

Chosen completely arbitrarily, my first pick is Emerald Awakener!

I don't believe I have seen this one at all in constructed, apart from one intrepid deckbuilder who seemed to be leaning heavily into heals. (Turns out he didn't have enough offense to actually be any kind of threat.) In Expeditions, I've never selected it, and it always seems a little sad when my opponent has to play it.

A 3-mana 2/2 with Lifesteal isn't terrible, but it's definitely not good. A 3-mana 6/6 with Lifesteal is decent, but it doesn't seem like the kind of play you want to be making in the late game -- unless you can drop it with a few other big units for a massive push.

Would you say this is meant for a Karma deck? That would explain its scarcity, as we seldom see Karma, either. Would one or both of these cards need a buff before that archetype is viable? Is there some other Ionia control deck that maintains a big hand size where this would be a good fit?

If you've experimented with this card, please describe the deck(s) you used it in and how things turned out.

i know that might sound weird to many of you but since the nerfs to elusives and SI in general we got to a point where aggro decks hardly ever win a game against Ezreal/heimerdinger control decks that are using frostbite.

Right now the whole ladder that i experience consists of ezreal decks and its not likely to change anytime soon. 

The fact that frostbite makes it way too easy to shut down the board while a transformed ezreal is basically a game over if you aren't out of cards -what is not likely at all- breaks the philosophy of legends of runeterra that the board matters and that creatures are the way to go to win. 

What can we do to fix that problem? I think the best way is to change the frostbite mechanic.

My version would be: frostbitten units deal their damage after the enemies fighting with them ( basically give them slow attack) and lose elusive until the end of the turn instead of reducing the current attack to 0. 

It might not look like a big deal but it forces frostbite decks to run more creatures and not play 20 frostbite cards + 6 winconditons and removal for the rest. 

Maybe you have a different point of view but thats what i experience on high diamond right now

Hello Guys

Well that might be kinda ranting but not too much ...

I got the update today and since then im having problems with the game.

it just shuts down during playing and that is a real issue because it just happens that the game doesnt even disconect, no it just crashes

So i had a REALLY strong Ashe tryn Deck wich destroyed everything so far with the exeption of a good drawing elusive deck which was sad but fine

so im on my "wildcard" and when i got back to the in the game ofc. i lost.

So then the game crashes again and now it just checks for updates ...

anyone else got something like that? (the crashing part not the lost game part)

thx xoxo

I played expedition mode this week and I tried a new archtype I forgot existed in the game: yetis I didn't do too well in the expedition (got 3 wins) but I got inspired to try and make a working deck for yetis, at first I tried a mono freljord deck but then I realized I should try to include another region.

I tried noxus, also removed some yeti cards which seemed too slow and ended up with 8 yeti cards in the deck in the end.. added elnuks cause elnuks are strong and also fit the theme and the draw engine of the deck (the Trifarian Assessor) with only one buff elnuks will have 5 attack.

Played 2 games.. it felt strong but it might need more tweaking to be truly competitive.. here is what I have so far:

And I am aware nunu is not yet in the game, can we safetly assume he will be added soon though? since there are already many synergies for him (nunu will definitely have the yeti tag)

So I finally gave battle scars a go, and I've been EXTREMELY surprised how successful it is.  And my deck list is not even refined...   Maybe I've just gotten lucky; maybe the archetype is so alien to everyone that their misplaying.  Regardless, I thought I'd share.

How's everyone else doing post-patch?  Any off-meta decks you've been pleasantly surprised by? 

Hey. Please see the below highlight, I am not trying to gain publicity, I just want peoples opinion on the matter, as I think it's a recurring issue with Riots games, even LoL has bad wording, which is tolerable...  but a card game should be as clear as possible and I feel there are many lazy mistakes.

Let me know what you think, am I just being an idiot, or should Riot get there act together? Yes it is easy to just learn and memorise how cards ACTUALLY work but that should not be required.
