Fact is I've played less than 1 game a day since the new drop. Balanced or no it's not fun.

I want them to just drop a expansion all at once instead of piecemeal, lot of stuff doesn't have enough support or they hold off on balance changes until the dust has settled after a expansion but by then the next expansion is around the corner. Doesn't help that Irelia is the only viable champion from this above a 40% winrate.

I'm not defending anything, but my understanding is that this is the last expansion not designed to be dropped in thirds, and the next one will have been designed for this structure.

They gotta do something about the Azir/Irellia deck, even counter decks don't have a great win ratio against it.

the Marshal is what really makes it absurd, 1/1's are easy enough to block and some keywords like fury, tough, lifesteal make them ignorable or a benefit to block, Azir's +1 makes them slightly more annoying and get some punch in them, but a couple Marshals giving them +2 each means you need to trade your entire board to survive the disposable attack, then they launch a actual attack and you got nothing left. And then Irelia can swap in to freely trade with any blade. Ra Ra Rasputin fucked around with this message at 20:11 on May 16, 2021 |

The synergy between Azir/Dais and blade dance is just too powerful. I conceptually don't like backline champions so I would prefer that Azir be required to attack to get his effect off but there's any number of changes that could be made.

The deck might be a bit too hot right now, but it definitely has effective counters. It's also the only thing currently keeping TLC somewhat in check, which is a far more toxic deck for the meta imo. I think a lot of the complaints about the deck are overblown, and personally I enjoy the more aggro focused meta.

I don't mind the Azirelia meta, but I'm playing Mono Fiora. The Marshall is bullshit tho, it's gotta get nerfed.

Mono fiora is definitely the silver bullet. I've had success with ez/draven with the right removal but really the best strategy is aggression. Azirelia has terrible defense and takes 5-6 rounds to really go off the rails. Often I'm barely scraping out a win on a round 5-7 open attack where I'd be facing down 15+ damage if I passed priority. I have to say I'm having a lot of fun though. It's been so easy to make new decks and there's a lot more diversity than in mtg.

One of the senior producers just chimed in on a reddit thread calling for azirelia nerfs https://www.reddit.com/r/LegendsOfRuneterra/comments/ndqe86/anybody_have_any_insider_information_that_would/  Although reddit appears to be in full meltdown mode about the deck so I'd be surprised if it didnt get some hits in the next balance patch.

Yeah the mono fiora poo poo can eat my rear end. I don't care if she lost 1 health or whatever, of all the decks in the game, of all the cards, ones centrally built around her are by far the most unpleasant, unfun bullshit and there's been so, so many iterations of it.

I don't get it, I really do not. Who thinks an auto-win that can be achieved super quick and super easy was a good idea? God, what a horrible loving card. E: Also why did they decide to gently caress the UI up so badly? Moving the button to view card art and stuff over to the right, outright REMOVING everything that was on the left when right clicking a card in the collection, now I have to loving remember what my wild cards were since the card you click BLOCKS THE VIEW OF YOUR WILDCARDS UP TOP because again, for no god drat reason, it's all been removed from the left side were there's PLENTY of space. They make some of the dumbest loving decisions in this game, I swear to god. Neuronyx fucked around with this message at 02:33 on May 17, 2021 |

Interestingly, I've crushed almost every Azrelia deck I've gone against in expedition. They usually get me down to the 5 health range and then completely run out of steam both board presence and card wise. I did have the wonderful experience of losing the 7th and final match of an expedition to someone playing literally 6 mist wraith cards in a row with a round 1/3/5 attack. 1 wraith each turn 2 & 3, 2 wraith turn 4, 2 wraiths turn 5. Not sure what are the chances of a draft or a draw like that. The most I've had of a single card in expedition is 5 I think.

I think that post is really further reinforcement that there’s a lot of thinking and gameplay decisions in this game, and at the end of the day you can play almost any coherent deck up to high diamond or low masters as long as you’re good at it.

Megasabin posted:Interestingly, I've crushed almost every Azrelia deck I've gone against in expedition. That's not really surprising, expedition is a very different environment to ladder. Combo decks like Azirelia are really sensitive to having the right ratios of the right pieces in order to work, and that's something that you really don't have good control over in expeditions. Clarste posted:Taliyah, Malphite, and Zilean confirmed unplayable trash, I guess. I feel like Zilean, and the predict archetype in general, is something that could potentially be very powerful but just doesn't have a home in any decks that fit the meta right now.

Zilean works pretty alright with Lissandra for decks wanting to turbo out Frozen Thralls and run over poo poo. Probably not better than the usual TLC setup though. Taliyah & Malphite.... yeah. Landmarks just aren't impactful enough to try to build around how slow and clunky they are.

All that said, we are still missing the final piece of the Shurima expansion. Who knows what gamebreaking landmarks will drop with it? Also Ekko, who's probably the intended partner for Zilean.

I'm more interested in balance changes and reworking unused cards. Like Vanguard Lookout is a no text 2 mana 1/4 elite, this is in 0 decks, change it to something like 2 mana 1/3 with text "if I take damage from blocking a enemy and survive draw a card" and bam you got something people would consider slotting into demacia decks as chump blockers that replace themselves.

I think the problem with saying azir irelias win rate isn't high so it's balanced is that ignores the day that it has had a huge metawarping effect so no one plays decks that have too bad of a matchup against it. Like if all in of your opponents get to pre sideboard against you sure you won't win a lot.

I don't say that as a Fiora player. I have tried mono fiora because I technically like decks like that, but it's just not very fun to play or even very good. I enjoy playing against it far more even if sometimes I get blown out by the perfect combination of supporting spells. quote:E: Also why did they decide to gently caress the UI up so badly?

They make some of the dumbest loving decisions in this game, I swear to god. The way interaction with the ui feels, especially out of game, is just fundamentally wrong. Even on mobile/tablet it feels like I'm sitting there waiting around for the ui to let me do what I wanted to do 10 seconds ago. It rubs me the wrong way, but there are lots of people who don't even notice it. Where can you even view your expedition token count now? I don't see it in the shop or on my profile or in my collection. I bet the answer is "in expeditions" but I refuse to click expedition without knowing my token count.  I've no actual gameplay complaints. The card game portion of LoR is very well designed, fun to play, and has an impressive amount of depth. Monetization design is also great. Pay $0 and get access to any deck you want is a stellar model for the genre. Khorne fucked around with this message at 05:34 on May 18, 2021 |

I've been disappointed in lor's cosmetics game. They really should be shooting for hearthstone quality animations and interactivity, both on the board (how is there no board shaking effect when big creatures hit?? And card specific animations like mtga has? Cmon guys) and on the periphery. Hearthstone boards are engaging and cute and full of personality. Lor boards are almost totally static. Maybe this one is better but you have to pay for it and it'll only be on your half of the board. Also, the companions clip their animations a lot, mtga does it better. I'm not going to get into the huge number of post game screens and unnecessary clicks just to get into a game, suffice to say it's bush league. It shouldn't be a matter of dev resources either, UX directly influences player engagement and retention.

I just had a legit gamebreaking bug, my opponent ate a dragon chow with a screeching dragon, then it just disappeared and he disconnected for a while. I was able to play as normal, he reconnected after a minute and of course lost. A 5/6 dragon doesn't just disappear, even if his internet went bad and sent the server garbage data, the server shouldn't accept an impossible change in board state! Makes me wonder if anyone has tried making cheats for lor.

If you're only doing expeditions it doesn't really matter. If you want to get the most cards possible it's probably best to go down each track until around level 12 where the bonus xp stops. Once you've done that you'll have a good idea of how each region plays and go focus on that track to get more of their cards.

I've never used shards for expeditions, and I've never done an expedition since lab of legends came out. In that case if you want shards, choose whichever track gives you the next chest the fastest. Eventually when you max out a card, the next time you get one you'll get a small number of shards instead.
