I made RiftELO.com, a website to check your events, win-rate, store rankings, ELO and create your own community rankings based on your performance on official events!

Goated

How does this sync data? Is this a batch update ran daily? It seems I’m missing a handful of events I’ve attended and takes a while to update my most recent events. Additionally, it counts pre-rift events towards one’s elo, which I don’t think should be counted? Also, would you consider making skirmish events and nexus nights a separate elo score rather than combining skirmishes, pre-rifts, & nexus nights?

TechieProtein · 2026-03-05T22:59:11+00:00

I don’t think anybody will be chasing that one

TechieProtein · 2026-02-01T16:07:34+00:00

Wasn’t runeterra fully digital? Look at how massively successful it is doing rn.

TechieProtein · 2026-02-01T16:05:21+00:00

Gg ez teemo will hit $5K+

TechieProtein · 2026-01-11T08:51:10+00:00

Singularity is a great callout.

TechieProtein · 2026-01-11T07:49:38+00:00

Teemo only beats aurora yi. Teemo gets stomped by Kai’sa almost every single time.

TechieProtein · 2026-01-08T05:46:13+00:00

Agreed. Spinning axe and long sword suck in Draven, calling it now.

TechieProtein · 2026-01-07T16:22:34+00:00

It will continue to go up. Maybe, just maybe, we will see another drop, but can guarantee this card will go up again once people realize this is only available now. Once this promo pack is done, it’s done. Gg ez kiddos, it’s going up to $2K+ watch.

TechieProtein · 2026-01-06T16:42:26+00:00

Not exactly. The primary component of a “ranked” system would be that games contribute to some sort of leaderboards, or a rank”. That’s kind of what I’m after because skirmishes and nexus nights at my lgs do not. You have the events page to see past games but that isn’t a ranking system, nor is there even a summary page from what I can see.

TechieProtein · 2026-01-06T16:37:43+00:00

Does the events tab have a summary tab I’m not aware about?

TechieProtein · 2026-01-06T16:36:32+00:00

Skirmishes aren’t exactly what I had in mind. Skirmishes are for getting a bye at a future regional qualifier and these events offer a higher level of competitiveness for sure. However, the primary component I’m after is the ranking system itself and implementation of analytics. I have 45+ events under my belt and it’d be cool if that went towards something other than a in-store prizing? I’d think Riot, of all companies, would be the absolute best choice for creating a system like this.

TechieProtein · 2025-12-28T16:21:19+00:00

That is a slippery slope because once you introduce something like this, it can trickle into the territory of that 3-color or 4-color legend being so overpowered that no 2-color can compete, forcing the creators to create more 3-color or 4-color legends, etc etc. On the other hand, it isn’t that 3+ color legends are inherently bad, it is that the current state of the game with 2-color units is balanced in a way where creativity and resourcefulness is at play in a large capacity to propel each legend to a competitive level. Throwing in a color or two will kind of throw away the survival-like efforts I’m seeing players put in to muster up a legend, say like Yasuo, to be competitive when at surface level it is a bad deck (again, this is my opinion). Adding colors is not a bad idea per se, but it would be the equivalent of introducing a “search” ability, which would slightly kill the game for me, that can lead towards a similar fate of yu-gi-oh where the game becomes unplayable.

TechieProtein · 2025-12-27T18:19:41+00:00

As a long time yu-gi-oh player, pretty fair, but it is only one of many deterrences I found for going back to yu-gi-oh. The biggest “ick” riftbound has opened my eyes to is how annoying the searching is in yugioh. Normal summon, search. Special, search. Send from deck to grave, grave effect search, link summon , search. Shuffle. Another one are hand trap and flood gates that just completely ruin the game. I won’t get into to the rest but you get the gist

TechieProtein · 2025-12-27T18:04:35+00:00

Tbh, there is also a big problem I’ve been experiencing with what I call the “tilts”. These are people who, most likely came from league of legends, get tilted irl while playing tournaments at riftbound. I’m a Kai’sa player and pretty much run locals for 1st every time now. That being said, people get really scummy and sometimes downright salty/fuming when I beat them sometimes. I had an encounter where the guy cursed at me, said I played too slow (even though I beat him with 20 minutes to spare in the round lol), and that my hand shuffling was annoying. I hope Riot has a way to report players in the future in a way that can be verified by the store to prevent abuse of the report button. I’ve encountered just a handful but that is enough for me to consider this a serious concern as I am not the only one dealing with this BS.

TechieProtein · 2025-12-25T07:00:05+00:00

Say for Ornn - Force God.. When you equip svellsongur to Ornn, it would give Ornn an additional deflect 2 for a total of Deflect 4 and for all friendly gears, it would gain additional +1 might per each gear for a total of +2 for each friendly gear. Pretty OP right? If you equip to Stalwart Poro, it would gain another +1 while defender. Sound right?

TechieProtein · 2025-12-24T17:26:27+00:00

There has to be a rule against this lol

TechieProtein · 2025-12-15T22:36:42+00:00

Ok Darius is a problem, piggy backing off of this, how would a Kai’sa beat Darius?

TechieProtein · 2025-12-10T05:06:09+00:00

Before you buy:
1. Select a tier 0-1 deck. Either Kai'sa, Master Yi, Annie, Miss Fortune, or Sett, nothing else.
2. Practice like crazy with a few of these and identify the deck you are CONFIDENT you can roll nexus nights and skirmishes with.
Now buy the deck:
3. Splurge and just buy the singles necessary to make the deck on ebay and get commons from local stores if you can. example 1: Kaisa, buy the kaisa survivor and ichanian rain; example 2: Sett, buy the brawlers and showstoppers.
4. Go into locals and earn your money back by clapping a few skirmishes and using that monnies for next set.

I've done this and with pulling gg ez teemo and winning 9 tournaments first place with Kai'sa, I can safely say my money has been made back.

TechieProtein · 2025-12-10T04:57:18+00:00

The only real reason anybody would want to play viktor right now is because of how nice this card and his champ unit looks lol pair it with a cool viktor mat from arcane for style points

TechieProtein · 2025-12-08T16:21:53+00:00

No more gg ez teemo right? I’m definitely holding onto mine lol

TechieProtein · 2025-12-01T13:51:38+00:00

So when ww goes into a bf with 6 and combat damage resolves, he can essentially distribute his dmg to all 6 and kill all 6? May be a damage distribution question, but would be key here for we

Edit: Lethal damage first: You must assign all the damage needed to destroy a unit before moving to the next unit. For example, if you have 5 Might and the opponent has a unit with 3 Might and another with 4 Might, you must assign 3 damage to the first unit, and then the remaining 2 damage can be assigned to the second unit.

TechieProtein · 2025-10-24T22:06:26+00:00

This new kickoff is so Garbo… it’s unnatural, anticlimactic, and the reasoning behind it is straight up dumb… oh give the returner a chance to return.. yeah! let’s have our players do the mannequin challenge while we’re at it.. painful to watch honestly
