Why do you guys duck every question regarding rotation?

We already talked a bunch about it in the past in general philosophy and official communication from another designer that was deeply involved in the decisions is on the way.

Thresh with any relics that have an on summon effect laughs at the Chronicle of Ruin challenges. Guardian's Orb is particularly funny on that one, but everfrost and anything similar works too. Whenever Thresh is revived he counts as a new copy for the purpose of his level 2 effect by the way, so he can summon a champion on attack every time. Use your rerolls to get Galio or something similar, and put items on your champion or other items with similar "on summon" effects (like: "When I'm summoned, restore health to your nexus equal to my cost").

You don't need to use thresh but he's very effective due to his star power, last breath units, and level 2 ability. Otherwise, any champion with good "on summon" effects or relics works pretty well.

Yep, we announced there's going to be a way. Working on it.

They were.

Before they were eradicated.

To explain in case its needed:

"Jack the Winner" is a follower. The champion's name is just "Jack".

Literally unplayable.

He never stopped being a winner :)

It’s likely the disintegrate killed the unit.

Thanks for writing this up. I'm going to give it a closer read when I get back from my walk.

I guarantee you we’re hearing it. You don’t have to worry about that. I might need to take a break from online for a while because of the sheer amount of hearing it.

How so? We know Hearthstone has the means to bring back cards, and we know it has nothing to do with how long ago the cards rotated out, after all, Darkbishop Benedictus was put in the core set in the same rotation he would've otherwise rotated out, so clearly the selection to bring back has nothing to do with age. So what would make a difference here?

Way I see it HS didnt rotate cards back in basically ever for the same reason we dont have permanent Eternal ranked, it would defeat the point of rotation.

There are always going to be examples of exceptions based on various factors. Finding an example of an exception because of some other factors outweighing the normal pattern does not mean it suddenly isn’t a factor at all.

This is actually one reason many game devs are reluctant to discuss design decisions with players, because they can never give a comprehensive guide to every scenario and every situation - which some people use to show a seeming “contradiction” in their logic - then imply this means the devs are either incompetent or dishonest.

... again, youre talking about cards rotating out, Im talking about bringing cards back. How cards rotate out has little bearing on how theyre brought back.

As a guy who’s worked on both games, I can tell you it has immense bearing on how they’re brought back.

Uh, how does that affect cards coming back? Hearthstone didnt bring cards back based on time either (some where old, some were quite new), and the cards that came back came back with the yearly change in core set. The way cards would come back, and their timing, is the same, hence the comparison.

Unless Im misremembering you did cite it as an inspiration, ontop of the thing youre referring to.

When you rotate by date of release by default, it’s different than when you hand select everything.

If you’re solely talking about the classic set getting revamped over time because it doesn’t rotate by default, that’s different. The vast majority of hearthstone cards released rotate automatically after a cerise amount of time after their release date.

The same was said for Hearthstone, which the devs (for some reason) cited as an inspiration, the amount of cards that came back is very low and basically none of them mattered once they came back. Dont expect more here.

Hearthstone has rotation by date of release. LoR explicitly doesn’t.

Sidenote: when was hearthstone cited as inspiration? Are you thinking of the time a former hearthstone player tried to compare the two and I responded to them?
