Tornhelm posted:So Swimstrim has updated his Tier List and has pushed Dawnspiders (and all his other previous T1 decks) down to Tier 2. The deck that replaced it is a Ionia/Demacia deck full of elusives. If you can craft the rest of it, just sub anything in for the Fiora's because they're not indispensible - in fact I don't think they've played a significant part in any of my wins so far apart from being a focus for enemy removal. In fact Swim specifically said not to craft Fiora for the deck on stream. He's just not sure what to replace her with

Did a 7 win expedition run with my 3 garens and Trynd. Helped me out in situations like these Thought I was hosed at the last matchup since I had to go against Zed and Hekarim deck but managed to go aggressive hard enough in the beginning to win. Thanks ancient yeti, putting you out at turn 4 is so disgusting. 2nd trial did a more experimental deck and ended at 2 wins. Overall seems like picking Demacian units is the best

Studio posted:Going 7 wins in the first expedition is great with how much it let's you experiment in the second. It let's you learn things like: Don't draft 6 will of ionias and then never play Yasuo. Also, probably don't pick Yasuo. Or how weak the Can't Block creatures really are I've come to value early mana cost minions much more when drafting like I did with my first expedition and don't draft Avianna

Lord_Magmar posted:Also, in all fairness the rotation in TFT made a lot of people (including streamers) furious, and that’s a game where you don’t even own the cards involved. its pretty much killed the Korean twitch streaming part really after the switch to season 2. People didn't like watching it and people weren't as invested into it as they were for season 1.

People are probably farming points last minute for the vaults and then giving up when it feels like it will be too much effort. I just hit 13 now doing the same thing

misguided rage posted:You don't die if the overwhelm would knock you negative if the lifesteal is enough. I'm not sure what happens if you die partway through combat and then lifesteal later, anyone know? I figure you still die but I haven't really wanted to test it. Its not like artifact where everything is considered as instant but runeterra has priority from left to right. So if you die first due to a hit on the left then the opponent wins no matter what even if your final unit on the right kills the nexus

Dias posted:Expedition isn't really a format (yet, at least), but do you guys have some drafting tips? I went 6-1 with an Elusive-heavy aggro deck but I have no idea how lucky that draft was. It seems pretty good in a format with little creature removal. I'm guessing anything midrangy that's good in Constructed should be good here? (Like Fearsome with Elise, Hecarim, etc)? It feels like you wanna hit a curve too. Elusives have been solid 6 wins but getting the 7 win tend to be hard cause those decks have been beating elusive decks to get there. My 7 wins came from doing demacia + other region region decks. Demacia has good solid stat mobs and Garen in expedition is really solid overall. Also the region has strong buffs like "stand alone" (which can save ur poor start into a strong pressure) to "back to back" (which can either cause lethal or allow you to take win trades on the board.

Tried to do some cute Lucian deck initially which failed miserably. Decided to go full aggro with SI, Ionia cards with 3 zeds and 1 elise. Turns out most people can't deal with getting massive damage to the face

Getting a Rhasa in expedition is super satisfying too honestly. Very few people play around it and if you play it right they end up surrendering straight after

Open beta is basically the same thing these days and many of the people aren't just that interested in playing. Think the game isn't that good for streamers overall since they can't make a variety of decks of to allow them and the views to enjoy themselves due to the limit

Been some playing some degenerate control Karma deck using Ionia and SI cards. Have to endure the early game with heals and deathmark and then end the game with late game Karma bullshit Seems to be working so far though I'm in the lower ranks so lets see how it holds up Absolutely folds to pure aggro decks however

I've been finding success in deleting certain types with the Karma deck in general Just have to tank a couple of hits early on and heal it back up through spell and minions. Often the opponent's hand is empty while my hp is over 18 Problem comes down to dealing with the super aggro decks and well control can't do much against those

Yeah it was in the patch notes of how they were changing the systems. I wasn't joking when I said you missed out on like 10 free champs if you avoided playing expeditions. Even a 0-0 run gave you one I made sure to do 3 expeditions on monday with shards before the nerf to get 3 champs

Nah it was always random champs even at 7 wins. You only got a wildcard if the card ranked up randomly. Happened to me at a 3 win expedition once Also oof 1k reward. Thats so little

This is how I won like 2 weeks back. Nox has stupid amount of high aggro and they are often forced to trade to defend meaning you can just continue to dump out units to pressure them more.

mistaya posted:Full aggro noxus/si spiders is almost an auto-loss for Karma/Ez but I think Bannerman is keeping it down presently. I don't think a single 1-1 nerf to the bannerman card is going to fix how rough that deck is to play against. When I see an aggro spider deck i just take a wither wail card or mulligan for it. If I survive the first couple of turns like that I tend to just win. But then I'm playing the solo Karma deck that has SI cards

I think the funniest part about spooky Karma decks is that its slow and tedious that its not ideal to play for ranks but I and others play it cause its fun and nobody else can cause they can't deal with the tedium. Probably why I ended up playing 30+ round in a spooky karma mirror matchup with someone

Fun fact, "deep" keyword is exactly the same in expeditions meaning if you have enough card draw you are going to have super buffed minions and nautilus (if you are lucky to get him) quickly since getting to 15 cards is super easy.

Been on the end where my mystic shot hits a zed with a suddenly buffed health or one that became tough
