Unyielding zed shouldn't ever happen because... like... You play Zed on 3 (3 mana.) Most decks can drop 2 damage on it- which is why you save it till 3 so you have mana to protect it. If you don't have to protect it you get 7 mana next turn, (4+3 banked) if you do have to protect it then you have less than that, probably 4 because most demacia/ionia protections (barrier, twin disc) are 3 mana spells. Maybe 5 if you got the +1/1 lucian buff that i can't remember the name of. So you go into round 4 with zed down and an otherwise empty board. You can't get unyielding yet. You hopefully don't lose half your HP because you have nothing to defend with. Or you drop a 1-2 drop to defend with depending on your mana but you must end the round with 3 mana. Round 5 you can unyielding your zed, at last, and you now have a 3/2 quick attack + clone that can't be killed. It could be a 4/3 if they played no units but if they played no units then your zed almost certainly died to removal OR you had to spend mana on protecting it which means you can't play unyielding yet... Basically Zed is a powerful early game card that requires a constant drip of spell mana to do its job which doesn't synergize with unyielding's high buy in cost at all. You could potentially run it as a late game OTK bomb and drop it on your 6/5 stand alone'd Zed on turn like 8 or something but that really begs the question of how you are still having your fatty zed around without having won the game yet. TLDR: Zed gotta go fast, Unyielding is a stall and grind them out card. Do not play well together. e: Fiora doesn't care that it takes her a bit to get to Unyielding cuz her win-con is 4 kills which you can get on both defending AND attacking rounds plus any single combats she happens to draw into. mistaya fucked around with this message at 10:28 on May 18, 2020 |

Mobalytics came up with something pretty comprehensive: https://lor.mobalytics.gg/stats/decks The deck that stands out to me as underplayed is Elise/Thresh/Tryndamere Endure spiders. There are a few promising deep and keg control decks as well. Otherwise there aren't too many surprises. Also just take a flat 4% off of everything's winrate before considering taking it at face value replay statistics sites tend to have inflated winrates.

Since when does Anivia get restored to full health on level up? I don't mean from egg form, I mean Anivia had 2 hp when turn 10 started and then had 5 and it cost me the game

I've played enough kinkou elusives to say that if you're using a jeweled protector on zed in the late game, you probably don't need to make him invincible for him to do his job just fine. It's just win-more.

Do you keep the cards you pick with expeditions? Just started playing tonight and got my first free expedition token, so I was going to give it a run tomorrow. Not that I'm planning on rare drafting or something, which doesn't seem like it would work anyway given what I know about the way you do picks. But it's always nice as a tie breaker!

No I mean every now and then I'll attack a 3 3 with a 4 2 quick attack and they'll both die. It's only happened a few times but it happened twice in one match earlier and cost me the expedition. I don't know if it's some kind of display error or an actual bug I don't know if something was buffing them and it didn't show it was just annoying AF

Seems like something they should of fixed right away though and have not seen it happen lately. Ra Ra Rasputin fucked around with this message at 09:28 on May 19, 2020 |

I've played only on Android, and just now finished multiple games with Katarina levelled up, and Quick Attack + Rally seems to be working just fine. Are you sure it's not Barrier? Or Tough? Or Single Combat? Anyway if you have some videos/pictures I can probably help explain the situation somehow. Obviously 1 other possibility is some connection hiccups. This may cause some states of the game to be skipped for example. Only happen to me a few times when I'm at a horrendous low-signal place though, this game's netcode is miles better than other comparable games, eg. MTG Arena.

If you're attacking when it's cast already and it doesn't go off that's kind of crap. I also noticed with double attack if the first kills the enemy the second won't go to life points which again, kind of crap.

Unless you have Overwhelm having a unit opposite of the attacking unit will block all damage to the nexus, including double attack, but with overwhelm you can damage or remove the blocker to do full damage.

After 10 weeks of play, I have reached set complete! Or at least the equivalent of it, in that I have enough wilds and shards to finish it off. There are plenty of cards I'm not bothering to craft. It's pretty crazy that this game is that easy to F2P.

Right, "striking each other" is not the same as you attacking and them blocking. I can see why it's confusing though since the quick attack symbol is lit up whenever you're attacking

It is only when attacking. Single Combat literally says that the units strike each other, so Quick Attack literally does not come into play there, even if it's during a combat phase otherwise. Single Combat resolves in its own pocket, where it is non-combat.

So, fun interaction with Claws of the Dragon. If you have Claws of the Dragon in play, cast Single Combat targeting your Claws of the Dragon and an opponent's creature, they recall your creature, and you respond with any spell, the stack will resolve like so. Second Spell > Claws of the Dragon recalls > Single Combat casts, summoning Claws of the Dragon to participate.

I wonder if the reason that works is if it resolves all spells in a single step, and Claw is checked between # of spells cast and the actual effect of those spells, so it is counted as available for combat at both beginning and end of the check? Or it's wizards

I've seen something happen with it similarly where a spell is targeting it, it gets retreated, then it pops back out and the spell is still targeting it. Having single combat itself pull it back out is really funny tho.

You can do some wild poo poo with claw in those decks. I was starting an effortpost about it earlier because I've been playing pretty much exclusively varieties of Lee Sin since the expansion landed, but there's tons of bizarre edge cases and like every other day I get surprised by a new interaction, so I don't know how much good it'd be. I've also tried at least 4-5 different variations of it and each one has its own weird nuances. Mobalytics has only tracked 40 games with it, but I think I've played at least twice that many and I'm still discovering things, haha.

If they pair him up with anyone but Maokai that is, Nautilus/Maokai is control's kryptonite.
