Hey guys. New to this thread. Been playing this game for a few months now, mostly against the computer to accomplish Quests since the rewards are really nice. I'm at the point now where I have 3-4 competitive decks and want to jump into ranked mode. Basically Burn Aggro and any deck with Vi. However, I want to make sure I construct fun decks as well just to gently caress around with. Any suggestions? Sea Monsters was appealing to me.

PJOmega posted:Every person will have different ideas of fun decks. Personally I think Deep is a good deck but not the most fun imo, since it has a very consistent line of play Usually find control/buff decks pretty fun. Hence when I play Vi or They Who Endure I like to keep them in my hand as long as possible so I can slam down some big poo poo. Also enjoy the Ledros card cause it's big and cuts the Nexus health in half.

My favorite part of the game is seeing someone playing a fun deck and being able to try it out without being scared of wasting resources. I also like loving around with cards and pulling off some crazy rear end combos I never thought about.

ShaneB posted:It's weird how scouts seems like a deck I'd like and always has a 55+ win rate yet I'm terrible with it and don't like playing it. I think I don't get board control decks. Yeah that is strange. It's definitely my go-to deck when I just want a win after eating poo poo with a new one. I just like Miss Fortune blasting everything. Also, got that Leona/Braum deck to work for me. I wasn't used to the Invoke mechanic so didn't really know how strong it was. Definitely gonna try Swain/TF next since I really like TF.

CitizenKeen posted:Spells that summon Celestial cards now summon two. Starshaping was great before, 10 health and double Invoke is even nicer. Was cool that I had all the cards. Tested it out and the card advantage is pretty wild. Definitely going to play it more. Edit: Played two more games with it at low ranks. Didn't quite get the chance for the Karma combos, but was still fun. Strawberry Panda fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Sep 4, 2020 |

I also just feel way less urge to try hard in Runeterra than I did with Hearthstone. Hearthstone the goal was to make legend. In Runeterra the goal for me is to get enough resources to make a new deck.

Minrad posted:Okay I gave it a fair try for a day and I'm enjoying it more than I did the first go around. The mobile client working really well sold me pretty hard too, because I can go crank out games against the AI for my daily rewards when I have poo poo going on at work where nothing is happening but I might need to drop everything at a moment's notice. S'cool. Basically what I do.

Been playing card games for the last 20 years and the only one I ever paid attention to the lore of was Pokemon. I still don't know what Runeterra is.

Lord_Magmar posted:But it's not abstract at all. It's world-building, it's really quite literally building the world of the setting. Most of the "wacky" as you call it is largely from Piltover and Zaun, including the cat, which is a place where steampunk and crystal magitek run rampant, it's appropriate for them to have things like the battlemech cat because they're the place that builds magic robots anyway. Thanks for the map. Not getting you, just have never played League of Legends. I'm curious about how the card game builds on the lore. Also, is K/DA not part of Runeterra? I don't know anything about them, either.

Getting back into this game after taking a break. Excited that I have enough resources to make some of the top meta decks, but anything off-meta people have been loving around with that are fun?

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:I sorta wish I hadn't made a Maokai/Nautilus Deep deck right before Shurima released but on the other hand Deep is a fascinating mechanic and also some dude kicked my rear end with a Deep deck once. I got Maokai as my second champion as Hecarim for the Lab of Legends. Was able to level him up and mill Viktor at the end! Love Maokai decks.

I feel like I need to construct my Lab of Legends boons/deck to beat Guard Bots, but also make sure I don't lose too much health on the poison cap deck. Trying to do it with Lucian now but I feel like I keep messing up my strategy at the end.

The PvE mode has caused me to stick up double birds at my computer screen more times than I'd like to admit, but I'm always queueing into a new run right after.

Finally got my Lucian win with Elise. Buffer Elise, buffed Lucian and started with the Sapling whenever I got the attack token. Guard finally didn't stand a chance. Beat 'em before the 8 8s came down.

Just did a Riven run really easily. Had the start the game with a 2 cost card perk and got Riven's cost down to 2. Then had the perk where which ever spell you cast also casts on the weakest friendly unit. Then got Riven to be elusive.

I find level Aphelios up real fast works. Also, when you're getting down on health, comboing lifesteal weapon with overwhelm weapon on and any other buffs can get you back up to full health quickly. I actually won my Aphelios run with Katarina as my second champion. I had a destroy Landmark spell though and if you destroy the computer landmarks, Scars and Foundry are stupid easy. I also find the Nab mechanic OP in Lab of Legends. Computer can't do crazy poo poo if you have all it's crazy cards.

Neuronyx posted:The labs kind of suck. Fairly certain the AI cheats when you reach Thresh, on account of him being able to draw the card that does 3 damage to any unit you summoned this round, every single time you manage to draw enough units to do some good damage. The first two times I could call coincidence, but several more after that means it's not playing fair. Never really have a problem with Thresh. But you could get Nab and just steal his cards instead.

Been using the same HecAzir deck since the expansion, mostly against the computer. I usually end up keeping Hecarim in my hand because playing him leveled up is usually an insta-win.

Pilchenstein posted:Trying the lab out on hard, the enemy has +5 nexus health and the extra items it has seem to be limited to bosses: Thresh has Doran's Blade (+1/+1), Sejuani has Sterak's Gage (Fury) and Viktor has The Brutalizer (Overwhelm). It's not like it isn't harder - the 5 health gives the AI a little longer to overwhelm you (especially on the later levels), so more runs will end in failure as you go up each difficulty but it feels like it's only asking you to be luckier, not play better. Was about to lose to Guard Bots on my Azir run and then, with me having no more blockers and the computer having 5 8 8s on the board, instead of open attacking the computer used Progress Day, draws the rest of his deck and fatigues. I promptly kick Viktor's rear end after.

Was scared of my first Taliyah run, but was able to grab Kalista and Yipp's and it was the most dominant run I've ever had.

I personally feel like when you're frustrated at the game it can be therapeutic to read others yelling about the mechanics, which is why the Hearthstone Bitching Thread was a favorite of mine. Runterra doesn't have it's own complaint thread so where else can you really post about it running some bullshit?

Neuronyx posted:You're right, which is why I apologized before. But I wasn't hostile this time, I used one sentence to just bitch about something before I'm ranted at several posts later. Just don't use the P word or the B word and you'll be fine. Plenty of other fun words to use to describe your ails with the game.

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:Yeah, I do the same thing. Mana Gem for Lucian, Yipp for Azir/MF/Hecarim (sometimes), and Spell Mana for Aphel are what I generally go with, but all (except Spell Mana) are Rare perks so they require a ton of rerolling. It's probably way more of a hit than they expected it to be so I think they'll keep developing it.
