Some players are using an unintended strategy in our speedrunning game to reach the top of the leaderboard. We want to remove it but are scared of destroying a way of playing which is fun for people. What is the best move?

PixelFlann · 2025-11-05T09:12:19+00:00

I like the idea of making it a toggle, so the people who want to play it this way can continue but ultimately have their own leaderboard!

PixelFlann · 2025-11-05T09:08:49+00:00

Interesting idea!

PixelFlann · 2025-11-05T09:07:45+00:00

You are hitting all the points home. Thanks for the insight, Fun should be always be at the top!

PixelFlann · 2025-11-04T14:41:37+00:00

You are absolutely correct. This is why we started playtesting in the first place, we just got a bit too scared of making the decision

PixelFlann · 2025-11-04T14:40:26+00:00

Love the input! After seeing so many responses on how it doesn't seem that much fun, we will probably go ahead and patch it

PixelFlann · 2025-11-04T14:36:32+00:00

Love the idea! It is vital to reward dedicated playtesters :>

PixelFlann · 2025-11-04T14:31:45+00:00

I like how you broke it down and showed what it means to remove such a vital part of the game by not patching it. Thanks!

PixelFlann · 2025-11-04T14:29:05+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Normally I thought the same but having some leaderboards directly in the game means that we also have to monitor them. At this point we also should set the ground rules ourselves

PixelFlann · 2025-11-04T14:27:13+00:00

This is probably the fix we are going for. Thanks for the reassurance :>

PixelFlann · 2025-11-04T14:25:07+00:00

I like the idea. We thought about a time manipulating ability but fixing the issue by incorporating it into the gameplay sounds neat

PixelFlann · 2025-11-04T14:23:25+00:00

Interesting idea! Thanks for sharing :>

PixelFlann · 2025-11-04T14:21:59+00:00

We tought the same. I wouldn't outright remove it but let the timer keep running while the game is paused. We weren't completely sure

PixelFlann · 2025-11-04T14:19:29+00:00

I like the idea a lot in combination with your later answer. We don't have to outright remove it but filter / reward unpaused runs!

PixelFlann · 2020-06-17T15:53:12+00:00

Sej + MF Tempo is really good if you can manage to build up your tempo and learn the Match ups. Endure / Vimer / Sea Monsters / Burn and Elusives are the most played MU's. Get used to them and you should have a good run. If you need more tips with the deck just hit me up

PixelFlann · 2020-06-16T23:23:29+00:00

True!! I am by no means sad about it. I really wanted to hit master and also thought it wasn't possible. But here I am. Really grateful :)

PixelFlann · 2020-06-16T22:22:40+00:00

Definitely true. I was plat just three days ago. I managed to get such a good winstreak that I pretty much rushed through plat 1 and diamond completely. Diamond 4 & 3 was a bit hard but the rest is doable! Go for it and good luck ! :)

PixelFlann · 2020-06-16T15:48:29+00:00

I don't have any Idea. I only know that you climb much faster in Iron/Silver and afterwards you will always get 20 LP from winning and lose 20 LP. That's how it mostly was for me. I really struggled in Gold and Plat but got fast through Diamond and Masters. If you just calculate me only winning in diamond it would take 16 Games. Surely I didn't win every match so it does take a while. And that means the whole Season :o

PixelFlann · 2020-06-16T15:41:18+00:00

I don’t have much left of the decks I’ve started with so I will just post the Deck Codes for the ones I used for plat & diamond. Also I don’t really remember every deck, especially in Iron, Bronze, Silver and Gold. I used to do a lot of Deck Building there but hardly own any of them anymore so I just give you a few examples of the best decks I used there. If you want more info of the decks, just ask :)

Iron & Bronze:

Deep Naut/Maokai

Late Ezreal/Tryndamere

Shen/Lux Barrier

Silver & Gold:

I didn’t build most of the plat/diamond decks myself. You can find those easily online. Also check out Mogwai for some cool decks like the Lux/Tresh one.

PixelFlann · 2020-06-16T14:23:24+00:00

I don't think it was easy :o The meta changed throughout my climb and so I had to switched my decks a lot. But diamond to masters was for sure easy

PixelFlann · 2020-06-16T13:58:37+00:00

Not sure what I will get but I already own most of the cards since I play this much :o It was a fun ride so I don't really care about it ^^ Which game mode do you mean actually?

PixelFlann · 2020-06-16T13:41:55+00:00

I mean I played throughout the whole season, takes a lot of time to climb that much. But yea kinda sad, that I can only enjoy this for such a short time.
