Legends of Runeterra Dev Tracker

Among other things, it's the weekend.

As long as there are no regional restrictions on which champions you can use, they have to balance their hardest weekly nightmares around the strongest champions in the game.

Why do we build the wall?

We build the wall to keep us free

That’s why we build the wall

We build the wall to keep us free

How does the wall keep us free?

The wall keeps out the enemy

And we build the wall to keep us free

That’s why we build the wall

We build the wall to keep us free

My children, my children...

Can confirm, but you need a good quality mic if not playing on mobile.

That’s backwards, it was only because epic relics were introduced that legend levels got extended in the first place because now there was more room for rewards in the economy.

Yes, anything that can stun or frostbite scales extra well with harder content and always will. Kindred + guardian angel and 2 everfrost is worse than 2x guardian orb at lower difficulties but snaps lissandra’s adventure in half for this reason too. It’s why Yasuo is such a ridiculously strong champion in harder tier content, while Jinx can struggle vs inflated health pools and stats.

Power-based frostbites also sidestep spellshield so that becomes even harder for designers to counter with enemy design.

Lux with Chemtech is my favorite TPOC champ. You did her justice. :)

The reward is tiny for the 6.5 star so if you can’t do it it doesn’t matter much.

It’s tempting to assume that people who buy things we don’t value have a mental illness, but most people who buy expensive rare wines for their wine cellars are not alcoholics. They’re wealthy people who really like wine and like collecting it as a hobby. The same goes for most large spending in f2p games.

It doesn’t even have to be super-rich: If you have a high paying job, no family to support, and you don’t care about golfing or country club memberships or building model trains or warhammer 40k or collecting stamps or collecting wine or raising horses, but you do love playing this one game, often you think “yeah, I’d like to buy something here. I’ve got the money and I’ve been looking for something fun to spend it on. This is the game I play, why not get some extra cool stuff for it? I could buy another $70 game but I have a massive steam backlog and game pass subscription already, I don’t particularly want to play a different game right now. I want to keep playing this ...

It is Dan. :)

Jayce was designed after I left so no hand at all. I really like his Constellation design variant structure and his core package is very clever at getting around the kind of challenges TPOC characters often face when adapting highly specific build-around incentives like Jayce's to TPOC. Very cool design.

The titles will start accruing with this new season, not the past season (which was still the Dreamlit Paths season under the old system). You'll see your titles in your loadout screen for each deck.

Hi all, so we are pretty sure that this is a result of you being in an active Path of Champions match when our patch rolled out this morning. Even though you quit the game, we keep that TPOC match live for awhile, in case you were disconnected or things like that. So your old game, still active on our server, is using the old data game version, and your client is updated with the new game version. That's where this mismatch is coming from.

So unfortunately you'll have to wait till that old match times out (usually 90 minutes to ~4 hours) before you can play.

If you write into Riot player support with your player ID, we can try and speed that up for you.

I think people are seriously under-estimating the power of mass-cost-discounting. It depends a lot on the deck itself, since it needs powerful non-spells to turbo out, but I expect it'll be a "defend at first, then go off and chain into mana discounted dudes that swarm the board and then you power them up with evey future 6+ cost spell".

Combine with the right relics (his unique epic allows him to refill 6 mana on level up) and potentially cards in the deck that can provide mana gems (like lux's Succession) and the guy could be completely cracked with these powers. Or it might be a cool kit that doesn't quite come together. Can't know until we see the full thing.

Even just with this definitely planning to get him to 5 stars, draft a bunch of non-spell cards, pass on turn 1, and then cast a 6+ cost spell he generated to discount every other card in my hand. Mass-discounting can be insanely snowbally.

We know this has been a pain point for a long time, and the unfortunate reality is that we believe this iPad mini bug is due to code from a third party, not Riot code. And so we're unable to address this until that third party releases a fix that we can update to that we feel confident will fix this bug.

I mean its restarting early vs restarting late. It is not like rolling early will guarantee a finished run. it just makes it easier to beat the first ~2-3 encounters.

Other way around. You die early more frequently if you forgo early advantages and so need to restart more often, but you can still choose to restart if you miss anything useful in the first shop. You'll be able to comfortably finish out the first few encounters and try again. Then you also know early if you're on track for a good run, and what remaining tools you need to pick up along the way (which can inform your routing choices).

This is rarely an issue though, since I draft to ensure I have the tools to deal with Lissandra rather than for raw power, I have a pretty consistent win rate. I had a pretty consistent win rate on her even when the adventure was harder too (pre-release). I know what I need to pick up for each champion in order to deal with her 3...

I never use rerolls on the first shop as it is a waste of rerolls and has too much spread. If there is a great upgrade right away, I will buy it otherwise I will move on. It is SO MUCH better to save rerolls for the last shop as you already went through MM and have a lot of gold, thus the chances of getting extras for your key cards is extremely high and if you managed to aggressively cut with MM you can even get strong buffs for curve-fillers.

You can also take this approach, but it will kneecap you early on (espescially if you're burning a lot of health in cutting cards at MM) and often isn't necessary to try and stack items on existing cards in deck to win the adventure; you can consistently pick up powerful cards in the very first shop and use them to inform your other decisions during the run. Otherwise you'll end up having to restart repeatedly.

IMO it makes more sense to restart a run around encounter 3-4 than to frontl...

For Lissandra, buying cards in the first shop is a VERY good idea. I always spend some rerolls there to get some new cards in my deck with broken epic items that patch a key weakness of the champion or give me a key win condition.

In previous adventures, buying cards from the shop is underwhelming due to higher prices and worse items. In Lissandra, it's very powerful because the items are stronger and the cost is cheaper. The focus is much more on building a powerful deck than anything else.

I don't recommend automatically going top path and hoping to get lucky on ethereal remitter, I reccomend picking a path based on the enemies you have to beat on that path. Many encounters are brutal for certain champions while other encounters are easy for them. There's a huge emphasis on variety in encounter type and random bonus power to encourage not playing the adventure the same way every time, with the same character every time.

Also, don't assume you need to rush...

Fun fact: this was kind of my “Good bye” Easter egg— this screen was one of the last things I worked before leaving the LoR team to join Riot RnD. Always love seeing a post like this discovering it!
