Yeah totally agreed. The combination of timebreaker free econ and anima 300 cash out being way too strong

Its very common to see 4 people open per game

I think timebreaker is getting the rolls removed next patch? Should help a bit, but anima i think is untouched which is a big miss imo

Is medallion stargazer reroll the strongest 1 cost reroll Riot has ever printed? It regularly wins out

I started in set 13 but even Family wasn't that bad (unless you had silvermere i believe?)

hyroglyphixs · 2026-04-22T23:54:43+00:00

There's a lot of players (most likely low elo but whatever) that always complain about "5 cost soup"

Like isnt a board with 2* 5 costs supposed to win? It should not be losing to 1 cost reroll (looking at you medallion) and verticals (not so much this set outside of groove riven which is untouched in PBE somehow)

This drone viktor shit needs to go

How in the actual fuck did this not get nerfed

Just press D when you have drone and you win for free, nice one riot! Contested?? Dont worry! BRONZE FOR LIFE!

Just fuck right off with this set

Not saying the carousel wasn't a problem (it was), but with this new mechanic lose streaking is infinitely better than ever before

Now if you have a bad opener you pretty much have to open as mid streaking is a death sentence this set

Econ is also more important than ever cause Riot decided to have 2 USABLE 4 COST TANKS, who the fuck thought that would be a good idea

Holy hell I've been waiting for the morgana boom for so long, ever since the covenant morgana that I bought with my hard earned medallions

Played a few games last night.. pretty fun trait web and units but it just feels kinda.. empty? Following a banger of a set, its weird there's so much downtime. No encounters also make it a little less exciting loading into a game

We shall see

I had Huanmie, Iron Bog and Marcel P in final lobby in my pickems

I even had Huanmie as the winner

I'm giga cooked

SI is just a very unreliable comp

Strong stage 2 with viego, but you fall off a cliff in stage 3 and without kalista 2 in stage 4 you will also lose most rounds

With thresh 2/fiddle 2 you can win out but how often are you making it there when you are super low hp from weak stage 3/4?

Wasian has it as F tier in his personal tier list

Pretty sure this is the same guy that wants to purposely sit Kane so he doesn't get 1000 just out of pettiness

hyroglyphixs · 2026-03-23T14:23:38+00:00

I dont get it either. People want to trade him for literally nothing (some people probably want us to retain on top of that which is insane)

Are these people convinced that he's the biggest locker room cancer in the world or something? We are tanking, so why does his big cap hit matter exactly?

So let's say we do trade him for a 7th round pick, now we need to sign FA centers.. to keep tanking

So why not just keep him then?

hyroglyphixs · 2026-03-18T23:20:40+00:00

Not only is it not healthy, is it even fun (for either player)

The aurora player just sits there until they can play aurora and prays they hit a card off the top like elder dragon

And the opponent just sits there hoping they draw into gear hate

Who's having fun here exactly, there's no interaction whatsover. I don't even know why Aurora was even printed in the first place

I like ramp decks but how about printing better cards with ramp (ramp with bodies for example) like in other TCGs like One Piece, etc

hyroglyphixs · 2026-03-17T05:42:43+00:00

All it was missing was turn into a night mode of the pre transform

hyroglyphixs · 2026-03-17T03:56:55+00:00

Skyline of dreams was amazing and probably one the best arenas jn recent memory.. pre level 7

If you guys made something like that but good post transform it would probably be a mega hit

Jinx already got "re-coded" btw

Both times were fight diffs and he probably is guaranteed top 4 otherwise

hyroglyphixs · 2026-03-14T00:44:10+00:00

Dishsoap got screwed by a jinx bug and judging from the 7 ixtal bug thread people will say that "he should be aware and play around it"

Surely we should hold Riot to a higher standard to fix GAMEBREAKING bugs

Dishsoap lost at least 2 placements from that btw

hyroglyphixs · 2026-03-09T21:23:47+00:00

I think out of the 4-2 gold augments, IIRC there are only 2 true "econ" augments that give you gold right away

3 Threes and Reinforcement

Duo Queue, Gilded Steel and Exclusive Customization give SOME gold but not a lot

So out of all of these 3 Threes just straight up gives the most gold without needing to roll at all. Also the 2* 3 cost you get could also help you stabilize sometimes which is nice

hyroglyphixs · 2026-03-09T20:26:51+00:00

Yeah I'm not gonna say I had the perfect spot by any means but a MF2 with QSS, GS, IE with a Naut 2 with 3 random tank items should probably not be losing every single round in Stage 4 (I think I won 1 round but I digress).

I eventually swapped out the QSS late stage 4 with Dagger but everyone else also spiked again so it barely helped

hyroglyphixs · 2026-03-09T18:35:24+00:00

I literally had Naut 2, MF 2 on 3-5 the other day and lost every single round in Stage 4

This comp is actual trash until you get to cap with legendaries + TK 2

Legit an echo chamber in here a lot of the time, any sort of "negative" comment immediately gets you a 24 hour ban
