I feel like it would take on average 2 cards and 4 mana just to deal one stun. I guess he's a lot better leveled up, but because of the way it works you have to put all your eggs in one basket and if the card you've been bouncing dies your entire game is basically ruined.

Lightning rush is cool, Kennen doesn't impress me on first look. 1/2/1 first strike is nice I guess (is that statline actually worth a champ slot?) but his ETB is nearly worthless. You can level him up somewhat easily with blades or sand soldiers but he still dies to any removal or board clear. Plus there are a million pings in the meta to pick him off before he gets any value whatsoever. Zoe at least demands an immediate answer, kennan you can stop with a 2/3 and then ping him at your leisure. Imagine you spend a bunch of mana on something underpowered like sand soldiers in order to level him up and he gets pokey sticked before he can level. Bad look. Or you play your fifth spider token or whatever and get your whole board avalanched including him. Even if he survives to level up, just don't block him and he only gets one mark! Not even that scary. He's too vulnerable to build around his level up and barely better than your average one drop without his level up, is that worth a champ slot? Especially when you have poppy and ziggs available to you which are way better aggro cards.

I read his level up condition as literally the same card entering and leaving your hand 5 times, not just cards with the same name. Edit: Either way though, he doesn't actually need to survive or be on the board to level up, it's not a "i've seen you" condition. Clarste fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Dec 1, 2021 |

Kennen seems good to me, also fits his league role as being annoying as poo poo to deal with. Unless you got a 1 mana 1/3, good luck stopping him from attacking round 1 or 2, you want to block with something bigger? quick attack and attack buffs, want to ping him to death? sounds about as smart as trying to ping Fizz to death considering their hand probably has at least 4 recalls in it at any given time.

I've been playing Caitlyn because her deck clicked the most and I like control/don't like Jayce, and so gunning for what I think is control in my picks, but I find myself just getting constantly outvalued, out muscled, and out controlled. im a veteran player and that karma fight gave me trouble to. shits hard.

Enemy champion decks in PoC tend to be remarkably consistent since they always have their champion in the opener and seem to have more copies of fewer cards than you do. Even well built decks and powers can sometimes brick on a bad draw and just lose to a board of 6/6 poros.

Caitlyn PoC run for that one where all enemies have Tough is pretty annoying. The whole gimmick of the deck is about dealing 1 damage (until you get balling out of control). Heck, one of her default spells is about dealing 1 damage on two targets.

Sadly, there is NO answer for Cait vs Nautlius to make it easier. Your goal is entirely to go in on a secondary champion with a good power. For me, I got Trifarian Glory (5+ Units strike the weakest unit when they enter) and then LeBlanc as a hero choice, which helped destroy everything in my way in what was the most overpowered Caitlyn run I ever had. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOl7zM_qVMI HawkTie did a run of it and you can see just how rough and wild it can be.

However the FAQ does say they're planning on revamping and resetting some stuff somewhere down the line: quote:That means there’s a point where we know we’ll need to reset certain aspects of progression, like Reputation levels, to create the best experience possible. We’ll keep everyone informed as to when that’s going to happen and exactly what it entails when we get closer to that point.

I've been enjoying Path of Champions much more now that more of my heroes are level 8. Before that it felt like a massive downgrade to old Lab. Just finished a run with Nami/Ezreal, with Nami's power unlocked and both heroes having the item of +1/+1 on a spell cast. That is the kind of bullshit I love. They really should just have the level 8 ability unlocked right at start for all heroes. No reason not to

Well I decided to give Jayce a try and the game really rewarded me for that. Probably the most fun deck I've had so far. Luck into Viega, some lifesteal minions that got a buff, and my power was the free shuffle 4 copies of a card in your hand into your deck. So I'd either get Viego and a ton of mist, the hydra that generated mist, or just an endless supply of lifesteal minions. Of course it was just against Lulu so I steam rolled her but I guess that's a hell of an intro to playing Jayce.

Jinx joins Jayce in the "Everything is S-rank" club. the Jinx combo is truly ridiculous at max level. What's the Jinx Combo? Gravedigger's Space and Scourge's Stash. This gives Jinx the ability to generate a fleeting card in hand each turn, and it gives her the plunder: -2 cost. You mull to Poro Cannon and Jinx, discard a card, summon Jinx on turn 1. However the revenge tour ends early as my Champ Capsule opens a second Twisted Fate, so it's time to draw cards in his PoC

Ziggs is in Shurima solely for mechanical reasons. The "lore" is that he went south from P&Z to do weapons testing in an empty desert on some ruins. Rumble is BIlgewater if he's anything from memory, there might be a story of him in Shurima I forget. But the issue comes down to it doesn't matter where characters should be, Legends of Runeterra has proven that it will put them wherever they can for gameplay conceit alone.

I spent the majority of my re-rolls trying to cut useless chaff. That whole run felt like pulling teeth. It's been a blast up to this point. Unrelated, but I want a Teemo path of champions.

Nautilus with Caitlyn was far less painful than I thought it would be. (I assume she auto loses to scargrounds so I just avoided it) I'm not saying it's easy, Cait is weak early on against this path, but if you can reach Sejuani your deck should run well enough to finish this. While though renders her flash bombs far less useful, she's still a 3/3 quick attack for three. Give her the +2/+1 rare relic and she comes in as a 6/5 on turn three, so she bullies everyone with simple raw stats. I think the trick is to be aggressive with rerolls early on to fish for anything, including at healers to try and cut statikk shock (because yeah that card is completely dead).
