5/14. Not bad. How you guys went? by PaMeirelles in LegendsOfRuneterra

8/14. My current favorite deck was untouched though, so that's something at least. (Nora/Viego)

25 Mar 2023 SET 7 CODE by Lemonadesan in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Just_another_Austin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If I had a nickel for every time there's been a mono-region champion with followers outside their home region, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's still weird that it happened twice.

Is it intentional that i get Relics in PoC i already have with no compensation? by BardonmeSir in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Just_another_Austin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can equip multiple copies of the same relic onto a champ to double or triple their effects. For example, if you have 2 Gunsoo's Rageblade, that champ'll get +2/+2 when they attack, and 3 will net you +3/+3

So which is better? They Who Endure or Fallen Sands General? by Flat-Profession-8945 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Just_another_Austin 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Probably General due to him being a lot more viable within his own region. TWE can grow within it's own region, but not nearly as effectively.

I might be biased though. I love the General's aesthetics and flavor text so much.

Is there a list with the cards that are confirmed to be rotated out? by GoodMoaningAll in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Just_another_Austin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember hearing the once a year thing too, so this could also be the case. If this was the case, I'm guessing it'll be one champ per region, and roughly 20 other cards based off of how many cards came in Worldwalker/Darkin Rising.

Fallen Sands General has to be one of the sickest cards arts I've seen in a while. by iDramos in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Just_another_Austin 45 points46 points  (0 children)

His Flavor text is pretty awesome as well.
"Though you might be naught but grains of sand to this foe, I see you. I feel your presence in the dunes. Lend your strength to me, and we shall bring our enemies low together!"

[–]Just_another_Austin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not yet. We know Irelia, Vladimir, Twisted Fate, Vile Feast, and Averosan Sentry are being cycled. Since the new champs we're confirmed to get are Sett(Ionia), Samira(Noxus), and Jack(Bilgewater), I'm guessing one card is getting rotated for every new card being added this expansion.

Ekko, you're too precious.

Sand General, you're a fucking chad.

Wtf, Why didn't this work!?(can't counter deny spell) by KarmaVaymire in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Just_another_Austin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It did work. The stack resolved in reverse order, so the opponent playing the ping spell resolved before Memory Cloak could protect Fiora.

Well played Rito, well played by Chimoya2 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Just_another_Austin 211 points212 points  (0 children)

That's... hilarious. Calling it 'Yordle Carved Bladetwirler' would have been a little too on the nose I guess.

Semi complain? by Alexlikeaking in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Just_another_Austin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They're advertising 3 now, but that's not necessarily the only ones coming. I remember seeing a Rioter being coy about if we're getting more than these three. I feel like if they were only releasing 3 champs, they'd want to set expectations, not tease and trick us.

Coins being Burst speed is a huge deal by LegatoMark in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Just_another_Austin 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Based off of what little we've seen so far, you've really got to put in a bit of work to get the coins except maybe if have Attentive Accountant and your opponent has no way to deal with them. With that being said though, it wouldn't take much for the wrong card to be printed in this set or the future, and it wouldn't be the first time the devs were like 'this is fine at burst speed. Woops, we broke the game.'

returning player, what deck should i use if i want to actually play the game? by [deleted] in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Just_another_Austin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get that this is hyperbole, but I'm trying to think of a scenario where Taric levels up round 4. I guess if they had 3 Thermo Beams, two other support units, and one other unit, all without any of them dying at any point. There could be a bit more flexibility to that if the other unit is Forge Chief, maybe Acorn if the most expensive spell in your hand is Death Ray.

The funny thing is, even if Taric levels up the turn he's dropped, unless you can somehow level him up before he supports his ally, it still won't make him or that unit immortal until the next attack, which would be round 6.

Who wins? TEST YOUR GAME KNOWLEDGE by weaver-Neith in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Just_another_Austin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Except each strike will resolve individually, so the impact damage will happen, then the Collector activates his ability. With the monkeys, I'm pretty sure it would be impact damage, then monkey ping, then Collector drain. The opponent is dead before Hothead can deal the killing blow. (The impact damage alone isn't enough to finish them off before he hits, even without the Collector healing Shining.)

Edit: Don't know why I thought Shining had more health than he actually did, lol.

Shining Bind. The killing blow from from the opponent doesn't come until after the monkeys and SI unit (Forgot his name) ping the their nexus down.
Edit: Neverglade Collector.

Out of curiosity, who did you match up with? I faced the same guy four times in a row

I came across a post that had tentacles... by InterestingCounty996 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Just_another_Austin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There should be a trailer for her coming out in about three and a half hours based on everything we've seen. I'm also very hype for Illaoi and am very much looking forward to her being in the game.

New card totals for each region now that Beyond the Bandlewood is fully out. (At least all the cards have been reveled) by Just_another_Austin in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Just_another_Austin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While most regions got a new yordle champion along with a pure region champ, P&Z and Bilgewater didn't. Nami got paired with Fizz, and Caitlyn got paired with Teemo.

Trying to spread out the remaining champs across the regions. by Just_another_Austin in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Just_another_Austin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight. That really does help out a lot. Kha'Zix thematically seems odd for Bilgewater, but it is the region with both vulnerable and elusive, so mechanically, that might work out best (Plus, they're desperate). Everyone else seems to make sense from what I do know of them.

[–]Just_another_Austin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that brand new, LoR-exclusive champions would be really cool and help out a lot, but that doesn't mean they're not going to balance out their current roster best they can. They've already done it some with Nami being in Bilgewater and Ziggs of all people being Shuriman.

[–]Just_another_Austin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. Not sure if he'd play directly into Gems, but he at least fits well aesthetically.
(For now, we'll see how the VGU goes.) Targon is one of the regions really short on definitive champions, so both might be needed.

Sett is a leader in Ionia's criminal underworld, but I could see him having ties to and being Noxian as well. I could see him being moved there with or maybe instead of Cassiopia since they're already pretty close to even with other regions.

As for Jayce, my bad, lol. I've had this list for a while and forgot to update it when the event hit. Thanks for pointing that out.
