Hey folks,

It's been such a great two days since we announced, and I want thank you all for your passion, feedback, and great questions. We've had a lot on our hands getting things started, but now we want to take some time to answer as many of those questions as we can!

Posting this a bit early to get your questions coming, the devs will hop in at 1 PM PT. See you then!

EDIT - Alright, we're headed back to work, thanks for hanging out with us and all the great questions everyone!

First of all thank you for this amazing game!

Do you have a roadmap in mind post-release for the game? What kind of content can we expect and will it be seasonal or permanent? Will the game offer a campain or some kind of adventures to explore Runeterra's lore? Thank you so much!

We have an early roadmap

up on our website, which covers the first two preview patches as well as early 2020!

tl;dr - Our next preview patch will focus on Expeditions, our take on a limited draft mode. Will also include constructed, and everything currently available in this preview as well. Early next year, we'll be back with closed beta, which will include ranked and a new set of boards and guardians.

Wait Wheel of Time has a CCG?? Iv read the books like 4 times at LEAST.

I love Brandon Sanderson

This team has the most obscure collection of CCGs I've ever seen. I had no idea there were so many.

Is there a "best way" that someone in the dev team enjoyed leveling the most? For instance doing every faction 2 levels at a time or just trying to get 20 on the the best faction (piltover & zaun)

I'm most drawn to Piltover/Zaun, so I end up spending most of my time there (with occasional excursions to other parts of Runeterra.)

Fun story - pastrytime played so much on one of our early iterations that he went went past all the available levels and broke the system.

This is a little late, but if we have access to the announcement preview patch will we retain that access come the expeditions preview patch? Loving the game so far and excited to see it grow!

Yep, you'll continue to have access for the next one!

Sorry if I am late. I just wanted to ask a small question on point 3.

When I played Hearthstone. I enjoyed it a lot. I quit the game due to it’s monetization practices. I liked the game A LOT. I didn’t however like being forced to buy essentially the solution to the the problem they created. The problem being I need x cards to be competitive. The solution being locked behind like a 40$ paywall and considering for what I got, is high way robbery.

To be clear. Will all cards be able to be obtainable for free? So like if say Vi comes out, under no circumstances would Vi only be obtainable through $$$? (Or insert any other champ, legendary, rare, uncommon, common, etc card) All cards will always be able to be obtained through non monetary exchanges, player plays game and through gameplay is rewarded and can use reward to pick any card they want with the wildcard system or w/e it will be called should it be named differently?

I just wanted to get clarification on that as i’ve read a number of posts and I never was sure on this specific part. The idea of what you buy will never be random is clear, just not what will and won’t be behind a paywall.

In today’s gaming industry I hope you understand, i don’t mean to come across hostile, negative, or any such thing. I really enjoy the game and just want to have this lil bit cleared up.

Hey there!
I appreciate your comments, and hopefully I can allay your fears! All of the cards in the game will be obtainable over time for free, be that through getting it from a capsule, using a wildcard, or using shards.

Various cosmetics may have different rules and the purchase options might be more narrow, but we want all gameplay content to be available even if you never spent any money.
