Legends of Runeterra

Vlad levels up from "Allies" surviving damage, but that incluides Vlad himself. Imperial demolitionist targets an "ally" but that means other units, not itself.

The current draft game mode for LoR right now is Expeditions, but I think that due to giving cards in buckets it often leads to worse versions of constructed decks instead of truly unique decks. 

My draft mode mode work like this: first, the player chooses 3 Regions out of an offered 5, then they are taken to a separate empty collection and given 65 random cards from each region and 9 Wildcards (that can be used for any rarity). This separate collection and wildcards would not transfer over to the player’s real collection. Then, the player would build a deck of 40 cards with those 3 Regions, using the random cards that they got as well as cards they crafted with the wildcards. After each victory or defeat they receive 2 Wildcards (to a max of 10) and they can adjust their deck. The run would end after 6 victories or 2 consecutive losses, and a second run can be taken after the first one (just like expeditions). The mode could either be played with an entrance fee and then give rewards based on victories, or be played for free with no rewards. 

The point of this mode would be to offer interesting deck building challenges for players, as they would have to change their strategy based on which regions and cards they receive, and use Wildcards to refine their decks. I’m not sure about what the exact numbers of Wildcards and Random cards given should be, but it could be adjusted to an optimal amount that doesn’t lead to too consistent decks. 

How do you take screenshots in LoR? And where is the folder?

I'll be here to answer questions!

Hello there. I've downloaded legends of runeterra on my phone for a month now and I love it. But what I noticed was that when I played the game normally, it was pretty clunky and laggy. But, when I kept my finger on the screen,  it ran as smooth as silk. Any ideas?

Thx!

So I am curious, why are your funnest decks to play? I think mine is my Teemo/Sejuani deck. I had discovered that puff caps are an awesome way to trigger Sejuani’s level up, so now I have a deck that focuses on puffcap placement and defending until I can bring full-power Sejuani into play. It’s super fun, but not very good in the ranked game mode.

I'd like to know where most players are at and where I stand. As of right now I'm dancing between plat 3 and 2.

I just wanted to share this in case it's useful for anyone.. I looked around but couldn't find a definite answer to this elsewhere.

Turns out, if you open a champion capsule from a region that you already have all the champions for, you'll get a champion from another region instead.

For me it was SI.

I wasn't sure if I would just get 750 shards instead of a champion.. but thankfully I unlocked Lee Sin instead.

So Freljord as a region in present in 3 of the tier 1 lists of the meta.

This gives it the top win rate of all the regions on mobalytics

It's hanging around 60 percent in the best decks

- It has the best buffs, fury of the north, elixir of iron

- Frostbite is strong, it counters other midrange lists

- Sejuani is the number 1 champ

- Deck buffing is strong with omen hawk being the best example

- It has good teck options in a tournament setting

and also those cards end up winning the opponent the game

feels ******** terrible man...

So I'm on the fence about trying either Miss Fortune or Fizz--both look really fun but for totally different reasons, and I'm 0/3 on both.  Meanwhile I've got 3/3 TF and 2/3 of Naut & GP.  Then I notice that I'm at Level 16 for Bilgewater rewards so I figure: I'll push that region, pick up the wildcard at L18 and the champion capsule at L23, then if I likely get either my first MF or first Fizz from the champion capsule then I'll use that wild card to craft another which will give me 2/3 and that will be enough to at least craft a deck and play a little before I commit to crafting the third copy.

Good plan, right?  Totally works around my crippling indecisiveness.  So I do all that, and I grind XP for the weekend and I finally hit L23 last night and I anxiously open my champion capsule to find...

Which is good, right?  Except to my twisted mind, it feels worse.  :-P

What about you guys?  Have you ever had any illogical feelings about something in-game?  Or alternatively: advice about whether I should craft Fizz or MF first?

Guess what, we get to talk about everyone's favorite stealthy list, and how to fix it.

- The solution was simple, just splash frejord. Now every wayfinder can pull out omen hawks and buff all future elusive draws.

- The evaluation works like this, if a wayfinder pulls out 2 hawks that's 4/5 strength plus 4/4 strength into future draws.

- That is 8/9 stats on turn 4 so consider me converted, all the list needed was a tier 1 splash. Not to mention the deck thinning potential.

- You also get access to burst speed spells that keep your elusives alive like fury of the north and elexir of iron.

This is the first deck I created.

I won one game and lost 5 with it so far.

I'm not sure if early game aggro decks are viable in the game, as low cost removal is limited and finding blockers isn't difficult. 

Something as simple as a House Spider can ruin my board position. And I cannot deal with late game cards. I'm still not sure about 

Legion Rearguard. Having it do something on turn 1 is mostly up to luck and attacking first.  And I'm wondering if a 1 cost 2/2 isn't better than a 3 /1 that can't block. I also recently learned that allies that can't block can still be forced to block. (Would have been nice if it had a narrow upside)

Once the enemy has blocked a few, or traded,  they overtake me with larger threats.

Obviously, some card choices are not optimal as I'm still building my collection.

So I just started playing last week.

I was talking with my brother today, and he has a pre-constructed deck that I don't, and vice versa. But I completed the tutorial and challenges and there doesn't seem to be a way to unlock more. Are some of the unlocked decks random?

Also, what does it mean when a wild card in my rewards is labeled "Upgrade"

Lastly, anything a new player should avoid?  I tried building a full aggro deck with "Legion rearguard" and "Patrol Wardens" among others. But I'm not sure if these type of deck are viable in this game.

Please nerf burn aggro - today I lost two games against it with even with him not even touching my face with direct attacks - just last breath deal dmg and burst spells. Total bulls*** not fun to play against + most of the players even rope deliberatly

How many of you would want a Weekly custom Runeterra card creation competition, just like the one for Hearthstone? I know LoR has a smaller presence on this site than HS but I think it’d be fun.
Upvote this if you would want to participate in that, so the mods can see if it would be worth investing time and forum space in

Hi,

I just build a deck with Powder Kegs and Grasp of the Undying.

I had 4 powder kegs and Grasp said it will drain *7*. It actually did:
I killed my own 2/2 unit with it and it gave me 7 life (to survive a Decimate (my opponent had no units)).

But after Grasp resolved, I still had all 4 powder kegs even though I already benefited from them.

That can't be intendet, right?

I have a habit of designing reworks for cards, and since I don't want to fill up the forums with lots of individual posts, I've decided to make this thread and the just comment whenever I have new ideas. Here's the first batch!

The idea behind this change would be to make Braum more powerful, especially in Poro Decks. The first change would be to halve his level up condition, which means that he would be able to level up in 2 turns instead of 3. This would make it much easier and more reliable for a Poro deck to level up Braum. To compensate for this, I made Braum's level 2 form create the Mighty Poro in hand instead, making the Poros he creates only really worth playing in a Poro deck. Poro Decks in general struggle with spending all their Mana in the late game, so I don't think this is much worse in a Poro Deck than his in-game version.

The main issue with Undying Spirit is that it doesn't allow for counterplay by the opponent. This version is fast speed, meaning that it can be responded to by another removal spell. Also, because the buff is only for that round, it must be reapplied every round, meaning that the opponent is forced to always keep 4 Spell Mana open, and so that if you ever get 2 removal Spells in hand, you can kill the unit. Also, the fact that each is a separate spell could make it have interesting uses with Spell Synergy cards like Lux. This version could still be a bit too powerful, in which case it could become a 5 Mana Spell, but at that point it might become too weak. 

My main issue with Make It Rain is that it randomly hitting the Nexus or not can determine whether Plunder will activate, which often decides games. My change would be to make it cost 1 more and deal guaranteed damage to the enemy Nexus and 1 damage to three random enemies. This change would make Make It Rain much more consistent, and by having 1 less random target for the 3 random damage, it would also make this card less random against bigger boards. My object was not to nerf Make It Rain, so if this seems too weak feel free to suggest a better change.

My aim with this card was both to make it viable in a Catastrophe deck, and to make it less random. This version has +1/+1 over the real Back Alley Barkeep, which makes him less of a Tempo loss and therefore potentially playable. Compared to something like Babbling Bjerg, it has +1/+0 (and synergy with playing multiple copies of him) at the cost of the cards being random, and therefore less useful. I made the cards revealed to both players so that he becomes a little bit less powerful to compensate for the stat buff, and also to allow the opponent more counterpart. If "create random cards in hand" were ever viable, the lack of ability to play around it would make it a frustrating deck to play against, so I think this sort of change would be necessary to make it a healthy deck. 

Please fill free to discuss the cards you feel are broken or overpowered in any mode of play. I'll start of with unyielding spirit. If you are playing expedition mode where you are limited to the picks you get for your deck, the chances of having a single card that will counter unyielding spirit is slim. Even if you manage to get 1 or 2, there is a high chance that you will not draw them. So, if this happens to you, you are just SoL if you get put up against it because its incredibly overpowered. I cannot believe Riot thought hmm this seems okay...

 Don’t know if anyone else has run into this, but I’m curious how you report a hacker. I was playing with a guy, and he started playing cards that look normal, but with the effects changed.

One was a Vile Feast, which normally drains 1 from an opponent, but he had changed it so that it drained three.
