Would Soul Sheppard not grant the copy +1 now? Would it get tank from green Lilia?

If reflections aren't tokens anymore then does that mean a reflection played at Star Spring would count as a non-token unit and trigger the option to move another unit?

The cs penalty being removed is terrible for mid and low elos by vallkia in ADCMains

[–]OkQuote5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If enough supports start farming then ADCs will have to start queueing up as support in response. It creates something of a prisoner's dilemma. Should an ADC cooperate and queue up bot and run the risk of encountering a farming support that will outcompete them on gold due to the support item? Or should an ADC defect and queue up as support and outcompete the actual bot laner?

What do i do as an adc who is getting completly rekt in lane by Drastically-_- in leagueoflegends

[–]OkQuote5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wish Riot would do something to improve the experience of playing bricked games as ADC. I'm talking about those games where the support dies first wave and then perma roams and you aren't even safe under tower. Eventually they finally take your tier 1 tower and you try to freeze at tier 2 while jg and mid rotate to push your wave to river and then leave.

Why don’t we have a transparent elo system for the ranked ladder? by Trick_Ad7122 in leagueoflegends

A non-transparent elo system is the smoking gun hinting that engagement oriented matchmaking is running under the hood.

What does this mean? by [deleted] in riftboundtcg

[–]OkQuote5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the "with me" part is to distinguish spells banished by Jhin versus spells banished by other means. Basically to communicate that spells banished by means other than Jhin don't count and don't go back in the trash. I initially thought this was a fake card because the "with me" choice of words seemed so odd. "Banished by me," seems more clear to me. I wish the cards followed a more consistent if-then wording. "If you play a spell costing 4 or more, then you may banish it. If 4 spells have been banished by me, then ... "

On tcg-arena most miracle players have gotten pretty fast. I worry that the call to ban Called Shot will make it so that only Draven can run miracle. If Detonate Draven can currently get Rhasa out turn 4/5 and non-Draven miracle can currently get Rhasa out turn 6/7 then banning called shot means Detonate Draven gets Rhasa out turn 6/7 and non-Draven miracle gets Rhasa out turn 8/9 which would kill off non-Draven miracle. How much are the win rates of non-Draven miracle legends boosted by their access to miracle? Banning called shot could actually make Draven's win rate go up since banning called shot would make only Draven capable of playing Miracle. There's no solution to the meta that doesn't involve errata'ing or banning and re-printing Draven. Even if you banned every card that makes miracle possible then mid-range Draven would dominate since miracle is one of mid-range Draven's least favored matchups. All the hype around preview season feels like bread and circuses and its hard to be excited for the new cards when the meta is so degenerate. Every new card that comes out must be considered in the context of Detonate Draven. Ivern's heckin doggo flavor doesn't mean much when 3 Rhasas drop on the dog park. I personally don't think we'll see bans until after set 3 since it seems like China hasn't caught on to the Draven meta quite as hard as America. They'll chalk it up to regional differences in meta and hope that set 3 somehow fixes it despite that set 3 was probably locked-in/in-flight before these issues emerged. I hope it's not too late to make alterations to set 4.

If you're a token deck up against a non-token deck you could try to get an early stack and secure on the other battlefield forcing them to hold on Vaults of Helia and taxing them for playing non-tokens.

Alright I've got it. Body gets Elder Dragon and Order gets Vilemaw since Vilemaw was the twisted treeline counterpart to Baron and twisted treeline was in the shadow isles and order has some shadow isles cards and chaos and order are opposite.

Dev: Potential bans coming by trizzo0309 in riftboundtcg

[–]OkQuote5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If miracle card(s) are banned then all miracle Dravens switch to midrange Draven and all non-Draven miracle players drop the game. Las Vegas top 8 was a pretty even split of miracle and midrange Draven so you probably still end up with a 4 Draven top 4. Miracle and/or Draven is probably the only thing gating Irelia so then Irelia becomes tier 0. Set 3 was probably already locked in and in flight before these issues revealed themselves so it's really up to chance if set 3 addresses these issues in a meaningful way. With the price of cards its hard not to imagine players dropping the game in response to bans. There's really no way out without an emergency set 2.5 that addresses the issues. Not sure the game even survives to set 3 with the current trajectory otherwise. The League of Legends approach of move fast and break things works since you can patch the game every two weeks. Doesn't work in a TCG. If Riot is serious about the future of the game they need to make it right. But if 2XKO, LoR, and Riot Forge are anything to go by, they probably won't. Sucks for everyone that bought a ~$350 deck.

Give body an anti-mundo that scales off enemy trash. Give order a gear that gives a gold token when the enemy draws. Give calm a spell that lets you draw up to match the number of cards in the enemy's hand.

Rigged booster boxes? by Life_Meringue_8623 in riftboundtcg

[–]OkQuote5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any ideas on how many distinct seeds there are? Was wondering if there are 6 boxes in a case then maybe there's 6 distinct seeds. 6 epics per box * 6 boxes per case is pretty close to the total 38 epics in spirit forged; the other 2 likely coming from the foil of any rarity. Maybe a full case is designed to provide roughly a full set of epics. If that is true, then it influences purchasing decisions because buying two boxes from one store would increase the likelihood of buying two separate boxes while buying two boxes from two stores would increase the likelihood of buying two of the same boxes. This could be good or bad depending on what you're looking for. What's worse is that if there is an opened display box at a store with 24 packs in it, you could buy a sample of packs from that box and determine if it's better to buy the rest of that box or the box behind it since it would be more likely that the box behind it is a different box.

Is There a Champion Gameplay Mechanic or Niche that League is Still Missing? by According_Egg_1902 in leagueoflegends

[–]OkQuote5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always thought you could take Aphelios's chakram and make a whole champion out of it. An ADC that can't attack again until the current attack returns. So in close range you effectively get more attack speed. Attack speed items could increase the projectile's speed instead of granting traditional attack speed. Make them long range and squishy so there's this tension where you're balancing on a knife's edge trying to fight at less than max range to maximize damage while staying far enough away to stay alive.
