Run ends today. Picked up this game when Aphelios came out and having come this far at all is incredible. 7 months capped off with being top 8 in the world. I'm going to be streaming more () and plan to be back next year to take another shot at world champ.
I just don't accept that f2p card games aren't viable when for YEARS we have been asking Riot for things to give them money for. Clicky boards, better guardians, animated cards, different frames, there are a million things Riot didn't do.
We wanted to give Riot money for LoR
It's the end of an era. Free to play card games aren't viable. TESL, Gwent, and now LoR all suffered the same fate. It wasn't an advertising issue but a monetization one. Being generous to your players doesn't make money. The code wasn't cracked to make things worth buying
@CertifiedLeggi
I get that the light is super close to the exit and if you aren't paying attention it's hard to be ready for. But they have so many signs and a massive 90 degree turn you should already be slowing tf down for. It's def unforgiving but idk
My theory is that Magnus saw the success of Hans vibrating anal bead training, so he decided to try it himself. But poor calibration and prep meant that he was overwhelmed by move 2 and had to turn it off.
Just shows how impressive Hans use of the beads last week was
Imagine getting consistent patches, hotfixes, new content, cosmetics and support constantly - and still bitching about Riot not caring enough about your game. How entitled is the TFT community jfc
We did everything we could guys. We tried everything. Oh why didn't we promote LoR in the League client for the last 3 years..? Uhhhh. Well good news we're going to do that soon!!!!
ok buddy
Don't mind me, just unlocking the entire expansion for free day of patch. Not 4 months later when the devs decide f2p can unlock it, not by spending hundreds of dollars. For free, instantly
I love LoR and have since i quit League in 2021. It's hard to read this news as anything other than depressing. We'll have to see what exactly this entails and I'm holding out hope that it'll be alright.
Riot's somehow taking enchanters I despised in League and making them complete bangers in LoR. At this point I'm more excited with what they'll do with Sona than any champ I actually like from League
Maybe it's just me but this type of thing rings hollow when the whole
#LoRMentioned
meme started from Riot refusing to acknowledge the game. Even just advertising it in League client would have cost relatively little. Or mentioning it along your other products.
Also if it needs to be said I have no doubt that the devs that worked on LoR gave their all every day. They're amazing, we had an amazing dev team who cared and engaged with the community and were 10/10. When I complain about Riot failings it's capital R Riot. It's the company
Ty so much to
@PlayRuneterra
for letting me show off these amazing arts. Actually so hyped to see what these cards are about tomorrow. They're beautiful, I want them to be good so badly haha
I'm convinced that the midrange players who hate Morgana only do so because she gives them a spell that they have to play. And there's nothing they hate more than having to play spells.
Feels relevant with the people complaining about MTG's monetization. This is my fresh EU account's weekly free vault. 69 cards (nice) of which 4 are champs and 6 are epics, 2k shards (which comes up to 2/3rds of another champ). LoR is still so incredibly f2p friendly. Ty Rito.
Oh god the path players on the offensive. Comparing people who have played hundreds of games to hit masters against people who have even tried to play 1 game of path. This person has 0 points and they're top 41%. Like bruh get real.
I thought I had come to terms with the way LoR was ending but I haven't. It's raw again and I'm not okay with it. I love this game, I love this community, I love our dev team. LoR is special
"WHOA! Another one! Why are there so many?"
It's actually so insane to see me and my sub notif get referenced in official flavor text.
@AndrewLiebel
the homie ❤️
Been a bit negative lately so lemme gush for a sec:
-New end game screen is fkin amazing 10/10
-Janna is still fun af
-TF Skin is v cool
-Dev interviews are awesome to see!
-Ladder LP changes have been good
-Jack playable is v nice
I love our devs, our community and I love LoR
Holy shit I just remembered that we were supposed to get a 2.0 champ lmaoo. God, the shit we were excited about and talking about 2 weeks ago. Old man Yasuo would have saved LoR but he showed up too late. Much like he failed to protect that elder in his youth, he couldn't save us
It's dope that Elder is so flexible. There's literally an Elder deck for every player and playstyle. He might be a bit strong but is a super fun deckbuilding puzzle.
The complaints rn feel like they're from Timmys upset someone else is playing with their toy in the "wrong" way
I just want to gush for a second about Janna. Whoever designed her nailed it. Everything in her kit *flows* so well, all of the cards support each other, everything feels so damn good to play and is just so fun. Genuine 10/10 champ.
Easily already top 3 fav champs in the game
I really really can't understand cutting ladder. Like what the fuck lol. Is this just so that I can't pin any amount of cope on the game? Just the final knife to make sure I don't try to stick around? How much could it possibly cost to give out icons and prismatics every 3mo
w/ so many communities having adversarial relationships with their devs, I just wanted to say that I appreciate LoR's dev team.
I don't agree with every decision they make, but they listen, communicate, and I know they care. I'm glad it doesn't feel like we're on opposite teams
Hey, quit shitting on the LoR community. I've come from League, Valorant and countless other multiplayer communities and LoR is the best damn one I've been a part of. And it's not even close. Spend 5 minutes in a big League Twitch stream and tell me we're toxic. I'll wait.
Oh shit, LoR jumping on the new plagiarism allegation trend. This guy is taking people to court over their illegal activities. Better watch out
@Runeterra_ar
you might be next once this guy find out we could check out last opps list anyway
@TheCallonetta
Hey, depending on how the 2nd goes it's pretty likely that a lot of my friends and I are losing our livelihoods too that were tied to comp LoR. And we aren't getting checks to cover our expenses. We're allowed to be upset about this and gatekeeping it isn't helping anyone.
The back to back was the last open. They had to stop me from 3peating. I don't know if I wish I would have known at the time or not. All I know is that it hurts. I put so much into LoR. And LoR has given me so much back. I'm genuinely crushed. I love you all.
Bro Rusticles emoting, dropping his kids with no protection and then staring at me - Daring me to shoot them.
This isn't fair. I didn't sign up for this kind of emotional turmoil lmfaooo. Rito pls
The opp mulligans cards. "Oh my god dude, are you kidding me?" says Moe. The opp plays a 2 drop. "Seriously dude? This is crazy." The opp draws a card at the start of their turn. "No fckin way dude, I can't beat that." The opp passes. "This is some crazy RNG bullshit" says Moe.
Bro this expansion is so based. I had such a good time with early access. Janna is 10x better than I thought she was, Nilah is a little worse than I expected but still 8/10, Voli seems very good. Below are the best feeling lists for each.
But ye, banger expac
@PlayRuneterra
The fact that Jax, Ornn, Rek, Viktor, Annie, Udyr, Poro King and Norra have 0 skins really tells ya something about lor monetization I think. They're all either some of the most played champs of the last year or are some of the biggest fan favorites
It has been said a million times and it's worth repeating. Watch any new player play this game and realize that EVERY SINGLE UI change that Riot does, including adding 30 swords is 100% necessary. Because new players don't know what's going on.
You can tell that Rarran is already better than 90% of the LoR community because he realized you can play the Darkin weapons as big monsters instead of just equipping them over and over lmao.
He has a bright future
The wait between now and the 2nd is going to be filled with so much pain and speculation. This shit sucks. Hoping beyond all hope that there's at least 1 more year of comp support.
Thank god btw we play a digital card game and don't have to worry about shuffle cheating, sleeve marking, bum card rulings, slowplay or any number of other things. The client handling everything is based as fuck.
Thinking about when I was a teen and tried to quit being gay by masturbating to gay porn but right before completion, swapping real quick and staring at naked women - All with the hope that I could condition myself to find women attractive.
Didn't work. Bad rng.
Btw in an exp that hashes the release of 3 different super strong Champs, a neg 1 mana 2/3, 1 mana draw 2, uber-deaths hand, an op boat and multiple copier combo otks
This stupid frelj card is still the strongest thing printed xd
People coping on Elder Dragon champ are forgetting the season where Mordekaiser walked around with dragon as a pet. My bet is that he has enslaved that baby again and it's his boss monster
The way some TFT players tweet about the game and their devs is wild. Shitting on TFT and Riot because stuff is unbalanced for a day, all while Riot gives two different hotfix changes within 24 hours to fix it. Really crazy shit. Yall need to chill and appreciate what you have
Between Aegis and the NA v Apac money match I am 7-1 with Nami/Varus/Fizz. The cultist cards are actually just broken + harpoon is nuts refill. The Cult of Fish is here to stay. Deck beats Seraph/Ez and is crushing most "third decks".
YT vid comes out in like 5 hours
The worst part about LoR dying is that its corpse gets carted out over and over to claim that f2p can't work.
Riot shit the bed and didnt' even TRY to monetize LoR through cosmetics. Low effort boards, simple and few skins, 0 card styles, 0 iteration, 0 marketing
Very concerned on how will 2XKO stay afloat with just cosmetics and battle passes and very few game modes/single player content, I'm no expert but that doesn't seem sustainable at all
Really hope the game blows up in esports, otherwise we might have another LoR in our hands
There are a lot of reasonable complaints you can make about Riot's handling of LoR. Lord knows I've made plenty. But the art department isn't one of them. LoR art is so consistently amazing and there's nothing below a 6.5/10.
MajiinBae is super chill and low key. Has both serious comp videos and chill stream edits where he's just talking
The stuff Aikado says can be p toxic but the way he says it sounds chill so I like watching his vods lol
This expansion is actually so fun. Janna's package has so much going on, big big big fan. Def one of my fav champs.
Hit diamond, my deck feels REALLY strong. Infinite card, tempo and burn. Can play aggro or midrange or grind. 10/10 deck
