A guide put me on to battling an alt and auto conceding for some free bonus XP every day too.

Got a link to that guide?

I've been trying to do it via emulator but I keep getting a version mismatch error.

Here's the little battle pass they're doing if anyone is curious. 975 coins, runs until the end of March

How hard is it to complete the battle pass? I generally get to level 10 on the weekly vault.

I don't mind the Azirelia meta, but I'm playing Mono Fiora.

The Marshall is bullshit tho, it's gotta get nerfed.

One of the senior producers just chimed in on a reddit thread calling for azirelia nerfs

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.

They doubled down, looks like Azir Irelia is here for a bit at least.

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 none the most unpleasant, unfun bullshit and there's been so, so many iterations of it.

I run Unyielding Spirit too.

The general rule of thumb is to level them in sets of 4. Usually at every 4th award theres something decent (champ pack, etc). Do 4 levels, swap, etc etc

Those are the only ones I know of, but then again LOR isnt huge.

Riot really hosed this up. After their "We're listening and we have tons of data!" post after just a week of Irelia, to do basically nothing to her (and TLC/Nasus) while NOT buffing the vast amount of underused cards....

Realistically I've only been playing Labs with some dips into PVP for Fiora action but even ruining peoples day is getting boring.

I'm super sporadic with how much I play Runeterra so I'm not super invested in game balance and ranked play and poo poo.

And even I looked at those patch notes and was like "....wait really that's it? That's all there is on an actual card balance patch?"

I think that's honestly the main problem. Riot made such a big deal about "Balance Patches" and then to drop such a paltry patch is not a great look.

They'll be some PR bullshit next and then a knee jerk rushed balance patch in the next fews days.

PR Bullshit "we're listening" post is now out.

Balance is scheduled for 2.11 which is like 2 patches away so... Yay 2 months from now?

I think calling it pr bullshit is a little harsh, they’ve been pretty good about doing what they say they’ll do. I’m sure it takes some time to change course as far as the scope of the adjustments they want to make in these patches. A bit late but hopefully it’ll liven things up.

I see where you're coming from and readily admit that I'm a cranky old fart, but I stand by the PR bullshit designation. It's basically a copy paste of what they said after the 2.8 patch. They only touched Irelia, but did nothing about the giant loving control wall that is TLC.

As someone earlier pointed out, there used to be dramatic and sweeping balance passes. Now it's tiny changes drip fed and I'm not thrilled about it.

I think maybe they were thinking you'd pay over the odds for helping with Malph's level up but even then it's not good. After being forced to use it in the lab, I have to say it'd be way more useful if it just gave you a unit with those stats or the buff was burst speed.

What, paying 3 mana + a board spot, waiting 3 turns, and then casting two slows spells isnt fast enough for you?

What the gently caress I'm getting bullshit like +1 power on draw as my best choice mid run

+1 on draw can be pretty good if you have ways to draw cards or flood the board. One of the more consistent strategies to beat legendary with old Taliyah was to go poros -> +1 on draw. Although there are many better choices than +1 on draw. +1's power is it offsets lots of the enemy powers and overstatted minions and lets you trade using total garbage.

Lots of the common choices are surprisingly strong even though they aren't "free win" type 2nd/3rd picks. Draw 1 fleeting is probably one of my favorites and I will even stop rerolling with it as a first pick with most decks. You no longer need to get card draw rolling for consistency, although it's still nice if there aren't better choices, and your chances of outright bricking and losing to a terrible draw pretty much vanish.

Yeah I'm probably just tilted because I hate these new decks that are filled to the brim with garbage.

I imagine they'd address major imbalances, but it certainly wont be a priority.
