Legends of Runeterra Dev Tracker

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!

I have better news the new champ will come before the end of this year.

Frustration is natural, and if you sat in on dev triage meetings I’m sure you’d quickly learn why some things go a long time without being addressed. There’s always the question of “what are the top 3 most important things for the players right now?” And if it’s not one of those 3 it’s hard to get prioritized.

Players want new content more than anything else right now, and new ways to earn the resources for the current content, and more stuff to spend stardust on, and a new event pass-like thing. So if you have a bug that affects one champion in minor ways, the relative impact to fixing that is going to be a lot less than supporting a new adventure or constellation.

Since there is only one patch window a month, a few days of delay can result in a month long delay for something hugely important. This makes it hard to get small fixes in unless there’s a huge focus one patch on doing a bunch of small fixes all at once.

This is why buy2play games can get very p...

As someone who made a Pokémon fan game myself (Pokémon: Salt & Shadow) I can tell you update frequency is way easier when you aren’t developing multi platform, multi language and waiting for apple approvals. :)

I kept pitching “can’t be blocked by creatures that have power 4 or less” so we could call it “Fearmost”

I’m sure it’ll be available again eventually. I think it’s hard to tell what the plans are until we know what they’re doing for the reworked event pass concept

Do you mean new cards? Because new powers and relics and items and constellations and modes and adventures are definitely new content

Buying rares you’re missing from the shop is a good idea if the rare looks like something useful to your champions or has useful applications such as turret plating being really good against certain adventures. It’s more efficient to wait for golden reliquaries, but if you’re not getting much stardust yet you will get more immediate success by buying useful rare relics and that will help you snowball into beating harder adventures

I actually solely play asol when leveling champs, normally don’t try to level them before they have 2 stars though. I often beat enough of the adventure to get paid in XP and sometimes I just get a crazy power build and win at level 1

hey all - if you are still experiencing this bug after updating, please submit a bug report to us. We cannot make further progress on squashing it without player IDs, and ideally client logs from affected devices. I know it can feel like a lot to go through the bug submission process, but it's crucial for helping us find the root issues.

I love it but it’s a crime you didn’t show the combat step :)

Hey everyone!

I wanted to provide you an update on our work on Standard Rotation for PvP.  Previously (https://playruneterra.com/en-us/news/game-updates/whats-next-for-ranked-in-legends-of-runeterra/), we had announced that our next rotation would happen on August 1st later this year, and that we'd have a three month period for ongoing rotations.

Due to development changes, we plan to shift these rotations to occur with patch releases (much like they have in the past), and I wanted to provide some additional transparency over what the next few patches look like. Instead of August 1st, the St...

I tweeted about it here: https://x.com/RiotShen1138/status/1803946416664121648

Send me your Riot ID and we will look into it Monday.

To encourage variety of play and asking players to figure out how to use unusual cards. It feels weird though to get a “reward” that doesn’t make your deck better though. Improving the cards with more items so they’re better than the cards in the base deck helps. Constellations do some of that.

The cards you can buy in the lissandra shop have MUCH better items than cards in normal shops for this reason. My reliable way to best lissandra is to buy a lot of cards in the shop (the cards not the items for cards already in your deck) that give me key tools for the adventure (hard removal, defense, insane win conditions, etc). I usually spend all but one of my rerolls in the shop for that reason. Means I don’t need to go top path to have a broken deck :)

Congratulations! That’s a really hard challenge you set yourself.

To be fair, I didn’t design Asol. I did design most of lissandra, though there were some key differences when I was working on it.

In either case - I have a lot of trust in the current designers. I know they want the game to be awesome too.

Any champ cheap enough to get out in the first 2 rounds can shut down the burn with turret plating. That makes the rest of the adventure way more feasible. Any champion with semi-reliable access to healing will also have a fine time because they can stabilize and then recover the lost health. Any champion without either is going to have a harder time due to the citybreakers.
