Legends of Runeterra

just discovered there is a new twitch prime reward !

As it stands now the  Neverglade Collector feels slightly over tuned and far exceeds the Phantom Prankster.

I think what they should do is make it so he only heals the nexus 1 for every death. Not drain. That way it tones him down and makes for phantom prankster to become a viable option. Like if you are looking to push out burn damage you would pick Prankster. But if you need more sustain through healing you would pick the collector.

As of right now the collector does both so why would you ever pick the prankster?

Enemy plays a 6 mana 14/14 with Overwhelm. If you try to block it you die because of Overwhelm. If you try to remove it with say, Will of Ionia, enemy atrocities and you die. 

The effective answers to this combo are quiet rare (frostbite?).. Why is my enemy able to spawn a 6 mana 14/14 with overwhelm again?

Either They Who Endure should NOT have Overwhelm (cause a 6 mana XX/XX it's good enough on its own, it doesn't need overwhelm on top of that) , or the mana costs should be tweaked so that you cannot play it along side Atrocity on the same turn. I rather have the first one.

Hey so I thought it would be fun to run through a single game vs tempo yoink and outline every card that was stolen and the role it played in winning the game for the opponent, and how their absence of said cards would have resulted in a loss. Keep in mind yoinked cards are not revealed so I have to assume they can be playing any card from my deck so that doubles the number of variables to play around than your average game.

1. A harsh winds is stolen, nullifying an attack to kill a sejuani

2. A glimpse is stolen to nullify a vengence targeting a sejuani and drawing the opponent 2

3. A buffed hearth guard is stolen, buffing my opponent entire deck and providing a 6/6 body

4. A buffed sentry is stolen providing the opponent 1 draw and a 4/3 body for 2

5. A babbling berg is stolen tutoring for a sejuani

The plays made by the opponent were rather low impact relative to the card advantage and control answers provided by my own deck

So I look forward to the get good scrub, dark souls logic, but in those games you don't get your sword stolen only for the boss to stab you with it.

when it will be ? I read somewhere that it was on Thursday this week instead than the usual Tuesday ... Tks

I was playing on my PC earlier today, when the game stopped, and then it showed this message I put in the title. I have tried a couple of things to solve this problem, however, none proved to be successful. Those were:

- Reinstalled the game.

-Tried to open the app as administrator.

Fortunately, I was able to finish and win the game using my phone, but I really want to play on my computer.

A lot of people are struggling with elusive decks and Heimer who also just makes infinite exclusives.

Was the solution easier than we think, just run all of the damage and healing effects with kegs, like people did when rising tides first dropped.

This is the great thing about Legends Of Runterra, things are so balanced that you can play off meta lists and still do well.

Hi everyone,

I’m having a hard time figuring out the rules behind negating attacks through sacrificing your own cards.  For example, I was blocking a card with a 2/1, and transfusioned it to buff up another defender.  I thought it would leave behind that little shell to signify that the attack would be negated, but it didn’t.  IIRC, other sacrifice mechanics work just fine, like kill an ally to draw 2.  Is there a general rule of thumb to preventing attacks through sacrifice?  Does it have to be a non-burst speed?  Can it not be dmg dealing cards, like transfusion, but must kill it instead?

thank you all!

Hey guys

I thought I'd take the time to outline the optimal way to grow your card collection in Legends Of Runterra without spending a cent.

So you can get the most out of your first month playing the game.

Tip 1 - Week 1 Rewards

The only thing you need to know here is that you get two copies of Ash, two copies of Zed, two copies of elise and jinx for free therefore you are heavily encouraged to craft other champions than these because you'll naturally get your 3rd copy in weekly vaults, and region rewards.

Tip 2 - Region Rewards

At first you are going to want to level each region to 12 using the 1.5 xp boost. Then you want to stick to 1 region and level it to 23 which is when you unlock your last champion capsule. Doing this you should be able to have every region leveled up half way, and 3 regions level to max in a month.

Tip 3 - Optimizing XP Gains Vs Time

Your average day will involve finishing your quests you have piled up, getting your pvp xp boosts for 1 or 2 games, if you haven't hit your desired region reward by that point, finish the tutorials or just afk grind loss xp, multitask while you just concede this will net you fast rewards.

Tip 4 - Save Your Dust

In legends champions are king, you'll be swimming in wildcards of every other rarity in no time so make sure that you are saving up 3000 shards for that free champion once a week, on top of your weekly vault and lucky upgrades you could have up to 5 champion cards in a single day.

Tip 5 - Have Fun

The key to being successful at free to play is understanding that you need to bide your time before making your ranked climbs especially if you refuse to net deck, I got to be a diamond player in arena using this mindset, so patience is key. Just have fun before you pick a list to try hard with.

Like MTG. With a max of like 10 cards you can swap in or out at the start of a match once you see their champions/regions. The side boards would be limited to only none champions and spells and you can't change your region combo either or add one if your using a mono deck.

Most of the time if you throw back a few cards its fine but when you are throwing back just one card the system fudges up. The chances are insanely high that you will end up getting the exact same card back if you only muligan one away. Over many many games I have tested it and like close to 80% of the time you get the same exact card back. Unless of course you only have the one. But if you have two there is a good chance you will get it back. If you have 3 its damn near a guaranty. If you have three don't even bother trying to muligan it.

Oh and if it does get you something different you can bet that card will pop back up within the next one or two draws anyway.  

Swim gave some advice on one of his streams which sounds like good advice, but I'm unsure how to use it properly. He said; in the lower tiers like plat and below the game is about getting the most value out of your cards. Like attacking when you have a good opening, but in the higher ranks value starts taking a back seat to probability. For example; there is an opening you can use to deal some good damage to the enemy. Now you have to ask yourself; what is the probability he has something in hand that could either stop it or put you at a disadvantage in the next round? If so. What is it? How could you play around it? If you do play around it; will it make a difference?

He said that's why you sometimes see master level players making moves that don't seem to provide much value at first glance, but that's because they are most likely trying to either play around something they think the other guy has, or they are trying to give themselves an advantage in the next round or two.

Well I'm reaching that point where you have to shift from value to probability because I'm stuck at plat 1. How do you make that change in mindset? 

She is basically a 7 mana Miss Fortune. They both do the same thing. They hit everything for 1 damage on attack and both have an extra life. Anivia has her egg and Miss Fortune doesn't need to attack to set off her ability. So its the same thing. Then at level up Anivia only does 2 to everything when Miss Fortune does 3.

Again Anivia is 7 mana. Miss Fortune is 3 and does the same things and has a stronger level up. How does that make sense?

I keep losing many games of LoR, purely because of wrongly understanding what cards do. It's so easy to get confused by complicated, contradictory, inconsistent and ambiguous text; it's worrisome to think how new and more casual players experience the game and how they get into it, at all.

For example: Riptide Rex. How the hell that card works? I spent half an hour reading the text, on google... experienced it 20 times, played it 20 times myself... still I don't get it what's happening there. Where dmg goes? 

Statikk Shock. Who is "an enemy" who is not "enemy Nexus", and who is "another"? And how much dmg goes... where? I studied logic from Aristotle to Kripke, and I have never experienced a sentence constructed like that one. 

I remember from before - if you remove Commander Ledros... or Chempunk Shredder, their effects (Skill) would trigger regardless. But when I played [Hearthstone Card (Devourer of the Depths) Not Found] today and my opponent Vengeance him, his Skill didn't trigger afterwards? Why? Why is it suddenly different? 

Can Vladimir Crimson Pact an 1hp minion? Can you get Vlad's effect from a minion who is going to die from it?

What about "I've seen" effect? A champion needs to be on the bench. Ok. But what if he dies after completing just 75% of the effect? Is everything reset, or not?

These are just the most representative examples.

Been having a blast with this Bilgewater, P and Z control list.

It seems to have favorable matchups against everything but yoink Sejuani, which is probably the best deck in the game right now.

Don't let this one pass you by.

Hey all,

For the sake of the community, I wanted to post this deck here. I was given this deck by a friend in the game, and I started using it in Silver rank. It was so effective (at least for me) that I kept using it all the way to Platinum. I've been playing LoR for less than 4 weeks total, maybe 5 ranked games per day, and I'm already Platinum. I did not track my winrate, but it was very high (as you can tell from that information, it has to be, mathematically). 

Here's the deck, with a small guide:

Hope it helps you all win some games too!

Edit: It stopped having a positive winrate in Platinum. Win some, lose some. So I don't recommend this deck past platinum. But it was great up until then.

I recalled a legion marauder with the 2 cost retreat card but my Legion Marauder wasnt buffed from my previous attacks. I won anyway, but isn't this a bug?

I apologize I am first time presenting deck and forgive me if I post it incorrectly. I try to get the list on here. As the title says this is bannerman with a Noxian Twist.

The idea of this is to use the effective Bannerman Demacian core to, but use cards like Darius to overpower certain over midrange regions that like to chump block you like Endure and shadow isles. This deck is a bit weak to Ionia and doesn't like Will of Ionia for obvious reasons. Below is my core build, basically subbed out 3 Garens for 3 Darius and 2 Riposte with 2 Decisive Maneuver.

Things I have thought about:
Dropping 1 Darius and 1 Swiftwing Lancer to put in 2 Radiant Guardian
Dropping Laurent Protege for Laurent Duelist or Legion Drummer
I even thought about putting in Purify and 2nd Unyielding Spirit.

Not sure why my deck is posting below, but it should be:
CEBQCAQABEAQCAZGBEAQAAIJBIFRUHJLFUZQEAIBAATQCAIDBUAQGAQAAECQO

Until someone can help me my current deck is:
2 Cithria of Cloudfield
3 Fleetfeather Tracker
1 Ranger Resolve
3 Brightsteel Protector
3 Single Combat
3 War Chefs
3 Fiora
3 Laurent Protege
3 Grizzled Ranger
3 Vanguard Bannerman
1 Concerted Strike
2 Decisive Maneuver
3 Swiftwing Lancer
3 Cirthria the Bold
3 Darius
1 Unyielding Spirit

but man is it heavy on the pay to win aspect.

The game is not that old and I am already seeing massive amounts of Net Decks in Ranked mode.

Guess there is no way to stop this part. Other than that, so far one of the card games out there.
