What are your thoughts on the Noxus region's overall strength!?

I'm in the process of slowly releasing a bunch of content on each individual region reviewing their strengths in various categories such as spells vs. champions vs. followers and I'd love feedback from as many people as possible! =)

The first region went up today and it is Noxus! You can find it here: Noxus Region Review

So what does everyone think about Noxus? Also, do you agree with the combo rating that I had for the region? Personally, I think the Crimson archetype has by far the best combo potential of any region thus far!

  • 'fraid I don't watch videos much, so without a transcript I can't comment on any conclusions you may have drawn.

    What I will say, though, is that I worry Noxus will provide some extremely potent aggressive strategies to other decks while having very little identity of its own once the ball gets rolling. Some of Noxus' pure aggro cards (Legion Rearguard et al) provide substantial brute force which can be added to most aggressive shells to fill them out. The first deck I'm planning on putting together when LoR comes back online will be abusing precisely that.

    Also in said deck will be the only other Noxian card of any significance - Katarina. Kat is being grossly underrated by the community right now simply because people haven't realised how powerful Ready Your Attack is as an effect. Particularly on a champion who is basically impossible to actually get rid of outside of targeted removal. 

    Re: Crimson - it has potential, but it will remain only potential for some significant time simply because it's no more than a shell at the moment. There just aren't enough cards to support it, and the benefits to doing so are limited. What it looks like to me, rather than an archetype, is a prototype of what they want an archetype to look like when first introduced. Put in a small shell, see if it makes any waves, then tentatively add support on a per-expansion basis to avoid breaking anything. Assuming that's what they're doing - and they're using Crimson as a test - you could expect to see more support when they add more cards... but that's just hyperbole on my end.

    Hm... having spoken about it though, maybe I should put my LoR deck together now and float on the site for ideas...

  • I love the idea of Crimson, but I've never seen it work super well.

    What I like best about Noxus overall is that, even though it's considered the "aggressive" region, it can produce a huge variety of effects. It's not going to be the first region I go for, but I'm glad playing against it won't be entirely predictable.
