Legends of Runeterra

I think this has been to me for a while now, but I definitely noticed it this evening.  I'd been seeing that "you already have this card, converting into shards" message a fair amount after opening my regional chests/capsules, which I chalked up to conventional bad luck / "kettle never boils" phenomenon.  However I saw it this evening with one of the commons from my Shadow Isles Champions Chest, and I thought that was really odd because I'm still missing so many that I'm trying to make my ephemeral deck for, and when I went to look for which darned SI common card I was overdrawing I saw I had 2x, 1x, and 0x for lots of my SI cards but no 3x.

I put in a ticket; I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed anything similar.

As well as Vanguard Firstblade; that shouldn't have permanent 'Attack' gains, though not all of these types are as obscene as Battering Ram or Firstblade, and at least Firstblade is counterable as it starts as a 2/2.

6 Mana for a 0/12 with Overwhelm that gets a permanent +4 every time it attacks... that's absurd, that's so cheap for such a powerful card. Only one card comes close to this and that's Scarmother Vrynna, who's a 6 Mana, 3/8 that gains +3 when she survives damage.

Battering Ram needs to have it's +4 when Attacking made in to 'This Round' or have it's health reduced to 6.

At the moment the only counters to Battering Ram are Noxian Guillotine (if damaged), Vengeance or Ruination. Two of which are... also Noxus based.

The question is in the title: tell me about your favorite champs, and let's speculate what kind of cards they would be like :)

My two favorite champions are Lissandra and Leona, both of which currently do not exist in-game. Lissandra is an obvious shoe-in for the Freljord, while Leona could be included in a new Mt. Targon region. Here's something I made with the LoR card maker; it's probably woefully ill-balanced:

It's supposed to be her ultimate in card form. The Play is of course pretty powerful for getting a free turn of Attacking in, even more-so if you can play her already leveled up. However, her Level Up is hard to achieve without help from cards like Shatter. Edit: Whoops, forgot her Freljord symbol on the Level 2 version.

I actually made a video with some gameplay of a tournament I entered online via Discord over the weekend! The Discord community link is in the description of the video if anyone is interested in checking it out - totally random Discord I found via Reddit! =) Here's the video: Runeterra Tournament Gameplay

Does anyone else know of any other Discord servers or anything else that is currently hosting any tournaments for LoR!? Would love to continue entering them! 

I have a quest to play 6 champions from Shadow Isles or Piltover & Zaun. I played yesterday and managed to get 3 out  of 6 champions and then it stopped counting. Today it is all the same, I'm still on 3/6 and it won't move, doesn't matter how many jinxes or zed I have played.
Similarly, I got a quest today to play 20 demacia units and I'm playing that Jinx/Zed beginner deck and suddenly (in a fifth game or so) it did push that quest to 3/20 without any sense (no demacia units in deck). Anybody experiencing stuff like this and do you know where can I report bugs?

I've been having a blast playing for the past 4 days. Wrapping my head around the timing of spells and skills in this game has been a process, but I think I've got it figured out pretty well by now.

One exception that I don't quite grasp is exactly how Jinx's level-up timing works. There were 2 scenarios that ran completely counter to what I had anticipated would happen:

1. Opponent had a 4-attack Jinx on the board and 1 card in hand. I play She Who Wanders, obliterating both Jinx and the card in hand (which emptied the opponent's hand). I'm pretty sure the skill animation showed Jinx being taken out. Yet upon resolution of the skill, Jinx leveled up and returned to the field - now with 5 attack, obviously. What's the deal? Removal of all cards from both players' boards and hands should occur at the same time, so after the skill resolves, Jinx should be out of play and thus unable to level up. If there is a fixed order in which cards are being removed, it should be board first, hand second (because that's the order it's worded in on the card).

2. I'm can't recall the exact setup of this one, but same as above, the opponent had a Jinx on the field and 1 card in hand. I attacked and challenged Jinx with my buffed Braum, killing her. I'm around 90% sure that the opponent didn't play the card from his hand when he confirmed blockers. My Braum killed Jinx, and again, I'm 90% sure the opponent then (i.e. after the battle had concluded) played the card from their hand, and suddenly, boom - Jinx level-up animation, and she returns to the field as a level 2.

Can anybody enlighten me as to how her level-up timing works in detail? On a side note, I've already read the tip to check the all-seeing eye more often to see how chains will resolve. I definitely should've used this feature in case 1 at least.

Thanks Riot for making Yasuo a complete troll in your new game too.  WTG!

Guys, you need to try this deck if you have cards. It made me Gold IV today.

Deck ID Not Found

If you like you can replace 1x Trifarian Assessor with 1x Decisive Maneuver. I didn't have second copy of Decisive Maneuver so I'm playing with this.

You just need to pilot it so well against Ionia and sometimes swim's dawnspooders deck. Don't let your Atrocity Deny-ed.

Use Atrocity to only finish with Darius or Rhasa the Sunderer or Crowd Favorite or save yourself from lethal.

It's kind of heavy to pilot deck but if you have cards you can practice. It is also great start to practice Katarina.

I just read this on the most recent news article on the Legends of Runeterra website:

Here's the link: https://playruneterra.com/en-us/news/open-beta-economy-updates/

I'm not sure how I feel about this. An expedition token is nice but I really liked the idea of consistently getting a champion each week. I also can't find the exact rewards you can get for expeditions so if someone else does please let me know. If it's not too difficult to get a champion card from expeditions (or enough shards to craft one) I can understand and like this change much better.

EDIT: Okay nevermind, in the video in which they explain expeditions they say that you're guaranteed a champion card from expeditions regardless of how many wins you get, which actually makes this change to the vault rewards pretty awesome (Unless you really hate playing expeditions I guess).

Here's where I found this information: https://www.metabomb.net/legends-of-runeterra/gameplay-guides/legends-of-runeterra-expeditions-guide

And here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=253&v=G3rwIEliVOY&feature=emb_title&ab_channel=LegendsofRuneterra

Although it might still be nice to spread this information a bit more, you can delete this thread if you want to dear moderators.

Been playing vs friends and found this out when his 18/9 Darius hit on of my minions which had a barrier and still killed my nexus.. I assumed i was able to buy myself another round because barrier negates damage to that unit. In my mind i took this as "if something hits it it deals no damage". This was not the outcome. I lost. And made this to warn others. I lowkey hate that feature.

So while I was playing Rather I win or lose Im getting 0 xp. im assuming tis a bug,ifits not thats kinda dumb.

Maybe there would be more health per nexus, but I'm sure there's a lot more having 6 players at one time would bring to the game.

Hello all

Is the Starter pack worth buying?

Do you get any sort of bonus to the starting region that notices you after the prologue rewards are finished or is it just the one you get from using most of their cards?? 

Ya know i could forgive not getting any bonus stuff for being in the open beta last year, but the fact that all progress was robbed from us is pretty ridiculous I have to go through the tutorial and the early rewards and get a loooot less wildcards than from the beta. The idea of this game from what i remember was in order to make a very accessible card game where i could play any deck i want but now im sitting here grinding the prebuilt jinx and zed deck in order to get my cool decks back. Really dumb.

I'm worried that I might be breaking etiquette using emotes...  I get that Braum is like "greetings", Jinx is surprise/amazed, Darius is face-palm/mistake, Heimerdinger is thinking, and poro is sad/disappointed, and I think  Shen is well-played, but I don't know.  Is he supposed to be more like a threat?  Have all my attempts to respectfully acknowledge my opponents at the end of the match actually been misconstrued as childish taunts?  Am I just overthinking all this?

I've been totally ignoring my rewards and just grinding XP, but I figure at some point I'll need to understand and optimize my consumable resources.  From what I can gleam:

• "Coins" are the in-game exchange for real-world cash; they can be converted into other resources
• "Wildcards" have a corresponding rarity and can be converted into any desired card of that same rarity
• "Expedition Tokens" can be redeemed for 3 Expeditions runs, which in turn reward shards, wildcards, and random cards
• "Shards" are the baseline currency which can be converted into Wildcards and/or Expedition Tokens.

Is that all of it?  Are "capsules" not a thing any more?

I got 7 wins in my first trial. From everything I can find it seems like the second trial is simply a redo and your better result is counted, but has anyone come across that not being the case? (eg. Trial 1 6 wins, Trial 2 5 wins giving a higher reward than Trial 1 7 wins, Trial 2 retire). I like exhibition but would rather play constructed as I find it more fun, so I don't really want to play the second trial if it's for no benefit collection wise.

Legit it makes it so an inherent thing you can't stop kills you.This is not okay it should never have been made. its good to see some of the league balance team made it over to runeterra to already ruin a pretty fun game. Seriously how did it make iot past playtesting

Hi,

I have been playing for about 2 hours and I am having a hard time understanding the attack/defending and what goes towards damaging the nexus

For example:

I have a 5/5 and I am attacking a 2/3

My 5 attack will beat the opposing players 3 defense with +2 spare.

Does the +2 above the opposing player's card not deal damage to nexus?


To confirm with the scenario above.  Is the only way to deal damage to the enemy nexus requires you to have more cards on the field than the opposing team so the "extra" cards attack the nexus directly with the attack/defense only localized to the opposing card?
