Legends of Runeterra

Seems as though aggro is going to dominate this game for the time being. Most aggro decks are able to fill the board by turn 3 or 4 and removal is few and typically at a higher mana cost. If you want that removal when you need it you have to skip a turn or 2 to build up your spell mana and by then you have probably taken too much damage. Not wanting to ruin aggro entirely I think some mana costs changes are needed. For instance Shadow isles can put out 7/6 worth of power turn 2 with cursed keeper and ravenous butcher. There are a few more but shadow seems a bit over powered at the moment.

Thoughts?

What can I purchase with shards? A part for expeditions and cosmetic stuff. No way to purchase cards? tks

Has anybody gotten any extra copies of Champions they already own three of yet? I'm THINKING they might have a similar system to HS where you don't pull a Legendary card you don't need, but I don't have any hard evidence for that.

...And just for laughs, how many shards are extra champions worth?

After many turns of my Shadow Isles control vs that 4000 IQ Heimerdinger deck thats showing up everywhere we hit the decisive finish, He had 1 HP on nexus I had 3. I swung with my 2 minions that if unblocked would do 10 damage. He had 2 minions to block but instead of blocking he played Get Excited targeting my nexus. I swiftly played Vile Feast in hopes that I could survive with one HP, but of course he had a mystic shot available as well. Then instead of putting up blockers he hit OK and everything went off. My 2 minions struck his nexus leaving him at -9 HP and his mystic shot brought me past the threshold to -1. But when the flashing colors were over it told me I lost, and I assumed it showed him victory.

We both dropped below 0, him even more so that I did. Why the hell did I lose?

Hey, so I wanted to make a list of my opinion on the best cards in the game. So i decided to make a video on it. Let me know your guy's opinion on my list and also what cards you think are really really good. Would love to hear your opinions!

As I understand it, the weekly cap on wildcard purchases is intended to keep people from collecting all the cards too quickly, and the developers hope this will keep the meta from getting stale too quickly. I guess I'm wondering what their definition of "too quickly" is.

There are 24 Champions in the game, and you can have 3 copies of each, so 24 x 3 = 72 is the maximum number of Champ cards you can collect at this time.

If I spent all my wildcards and shards after only three vault openings, I would now have over 40 Champion cards. I am confident that I could easily collect all 72 by the end of the first month. Someone more dedicated than me could have them all a bit sooner by grinding every region with Expedition XP. (I've only completed one region, but I'm very close to finishing my second.)

I've heard several streamers expressing frustration at having to wait to craft a wider variety of decks. My question is: Is the throttle really working as intended?

It seems like it's making paying players unhappy in the short term, while not really slowing things down all that much when you consider the bigger picture. After all, this game is surely going to last a while, and it could be many months before we see an expansion.

Furthermore, once that expansion does arrive, people will easily be able to acquire most of it immediately with saved resources. (I've seen no indication that the current resources won't work on future content.)

It all sounded like a good idea on paper, but I'm not sure the result (a month or less before whales have a full set) is worth the frustration -- especially when the people you are frustrating are the only ones actually giving you money.

as the title sais.....

the game mechanics are PERFECT if not for this nonsense....

what's the logic behind that idea???..cause it's completly illogical and counterintuitive...

How does this card work exactly?

Does the detained card retain buffs or damage for example, or is it like the recall mechanic and it reverts to its original state?

Does the detained card get placed back to its original location (bench or battlefield) once the capturing unit leaves play? I'm assuming it gets placed back in the hand if the bench or battlefield is full, and burned if the hand is full.

Hello Guys and Gals!

So i jsut killed it in the second Expeditions Trial!

I got 6 Wins but honestly i think i should have won the last one as well ...

the moneypoint was the last attack from me.

enemy had a4/2, Fiona lvl uped and killed 1 Minion so far and a 3/2

i had 2 Minions on board and a Savage Reckoner which targeted the 3/2 for the last 5 dmg to win the game

Fiona blocks one of the small minions, (2 kills) and plays strike on the Fiona and the second Minion (3 kills)

then the Reckoner kills the other Minion, i expect 5 dmg for lethal to the core but i loose the game ....

Pls help me what happend here?

thank you

So once you've finished your daily quests, you only get 50 exp per game..?

Wtf is up with that? It's totally not worth. 

Takes 20-30 games to generate as much exp as a single daily quest?!?!

so maybe i didnt see it but there isnt a clock in the game right? i find just a little bit annoying  to have to go out the game to see the time. does anyone knows if riot plans  to put one in the game?

or is it more efficient to retire & claim so you can get into a fresh run quicker..?

rewards are capped at 7 wins right, so even if you go 7 wins again in 2nd run, you don't get any extra rewards..?

Are rewards linked to the active Region or are they random? Tks

are they linked to the "active" Region or are they random? Tks

Hey guys,

Can someone please explain to me how exactly wild cards reset each week?

Is it only in the store, or also your collection?

Like if I have 14 common wild cards, so on Tuesday I will lose the ones I didn't used? Or I could use them in future?

1st trial: 0-2, 2nd trial 1-2.  I did go 7 wins on my 2nd trial last week so I know I'm not a total n00b...  That might have been what did it, actually--in that trial my deck was a Frejlord value deck and a lot of my success came from Yetis and +1/+1s and Anivia; I think I tried to force a repeat of that strategy.  And this week, some of the decks I fought were just brutal including a Shadow Isles that went off on The Undying and a Noxus deck that played 4 Legion Saboteur over the first 5 turns.

On the bright side, I am glad to see the format at least supports multiple different strategies.  I guess I'm just venting.  :-P

What happens with my Expedition Trial(s) if I don't finish them before the next Vault opening (week)?

I've completed my three expeditions for this week but I was wondering what exactly the rewards are if you enter open play (free expeditions after you've completed the first three in a week). In the game it just says "limited rewards". Does this mean you only get regular xp like for normal games?

I know that by right-clicking a card, I can view all cards associated with it, which includes potential skills they trigger (like Chempunk Shredder). However, I would like to be able to tell at a glance if a unit's effect triggers right away (like a Burst spell) or if it uses a skill, which I could then respond to with spells of my own. I know, first-world problems and all, but it'd be a nice quality-of-life improvement. Unless I'm missing something and there's already a way to tell.

I don't think it does but I'm just double checking as I can't seem to find info on this.

Oh and am I correct in assuming that the the region rewards are a one time thing?
