Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

I keep wondering if the Eclipse Dragon could be good in a Daybreak deck, with Ravhun on board, you could trigger both its Daybreak and Nightfall effect at the same time. So you get a discount of 2 mana for either the Dragon or Celestial you just created without the need to have dragons or celestials in the deck.

Patch Notes 1.12

Not very many changes...

Genevieve Elmheart: Health from 5 to 4

Bastion: Cost from 3 to 4

Hush: Loses it's repeatable effect and now cost 2

Living Legends: Only refills mana gems only(no longer spell mana).

And that's it, Lee Sin changes coming with 1.13.

I played some Sokara/Tahm deck with the Star Spring Landmark. It was pretty decent.

I won with Tahm being the hero, he can really dominate games in some situation but I face a Shen/Fiora deck and Tahm was completely shut down by Barriers.

I was able to win a few games with Star Spring which can be pretty easy to reach its win condition.

Sokara was disappointing in the few games I played, she’s good at helping Star Spring reach it’s win condition.

All in all a pretty interesting first day.

Seasonal Tournament: $10,000 to the winner.

Patch Notes 1.13

Lee Sin: Mana 4 to 5 and Health 4 to 5. So a nerf, his Heath is mostly irrelevant him coming one turn later should be substantial.

Make it rain: Mana from 2 to 3. Welcome change, going to hurt the card a lot I think but still playable.

That is it, bigger balance patch in 2 weeks.

New event trailer and details.


New cards that can be earned during the event.

I hadn‘t played in almost 2 weeks, got tired of Lee Sin and aggro...but also knew event was coming and that I would be playing a lot more for the duration so took a little break to not burn out. Felt good, always like taking a break once in while. Feels refreshed when I come back and game is more fun.

I went 5-1 with a Lulu/Jinx deck and managed to complete 3 regular daily quests and the first 2 event quest. Rewards feel less interesting this time around, well not a fan of the thematic of the KDA event. Still I just love getting stuff so will try to complete it, most likely will come a bit short like the previous one, but still is fun.

I went 1-1 against Lee Sin tonight, nerf might not be enough, it’s still too consistent and too many ways to protect him.

The event has some pretty challenging quests. I’ve been doing a bunch of them against the AI because otherwise I doubt I could do them playing somewhat casually.

Like cast 50 spells that cost 5 mana or more, or win games after 10 rounds, play cards whose cost has been reduced(Heimerdinger for the win on that one). I feel the amount of currency for some of these is pretty low.

Well I stand at 156 at the midway point, I may actually have time to complete this event.

I had the quest to target 75 allies so I played Lee Sin deck which was perfect for this, damn the deck is consistent it’s ridiculous. It’s fun to play but not fun to play against.

I love these events, they force you to play decks you might not otherwise which can be cool, although at the same time some objectives take too long to achieve which can be boring sometimes. Still overall I enjoyed both events so far and hope they continue to have them every now and again.

Patch Notes 1.14

Lots of changes, 7 champions affected.

Lucian: Can now trigger the same round as leveling up.

Shyvana: 1 Power Increase.

Vladimir: Attack: For each attacking ally on my right, deal 1 to it and 1 to the enemy Nexus. Only needs to had 5+ allies take damage and survive instead of 6.

Trundle: Loses 1 Health.
Ice Pillar: Loses 2 Health.

Ezreal: You've targeted 6+ enemies this game, instead of 10+. Level Up version: Nexus Strike: Create a Fleeting Mystic Shot in hand. When you cast a spell, deal 1 to the enemy Nexus. If it targeted an enemy, deal 2 to the enemy Nexus instead.

Jinx: Can now trigger the same round as leveling up.

Taric: +1 Power.

All in all I like these, all buffs except for Trundle.

I really like the changes to Vladimir, easier to level, and more flexibility when attacking since he won't necessary hurt everyone. Not sure if that will make him competitive but it's an interesting approach.

Ezreal is also pretty interesting redesign. I think the new redesign is going to give them more flexibility to tweak him if he's out of balance, I feel he'll also be a lot less frustrating to play against.
