Easily the best FAQ I’ve ever seen. It takes a lot of courage for a company to be this honest with fans. Just a lot of honest questions that people have ACTUALLY been asking.
Q: Why don’t you just sell things people want?
Q :Does this mean the game will be monetized more moving forward?
Q: Why hasn’t Riot Leadership helped LoR succeed?
Q: Why don’t you just kill LoR?
Really refreshing transparency compared to what we’ve been seeing from Riot.
I played LoR a good amount over the years and always enjoyed it. I switched to it after many years on Hearthstone but eventually got really tired of the shamelessness of their P2W monetization.
LoR was always so generous to F2P players with cards and game modes. Within the past year or so, my main game mode has been path of champions so I’m not entirely disappointed to see their focus shift to that as the primary game experience.
But the honesty in this FAQs will probably make me go drop a little money in the shop after this.
Agreed with OP. I don’t even play any Riot games but read through this FAQ. VERY upfront, cool to see.
Is that a Jinx clone? Shameful
That is jinx. Legends of Runeterra is a League of Legends card game.
Riot: “This Q&A will help regain player trust.”
Also Riot: “You get a rootkit, you get a rootkit! Rootkits for everyone! And stay the hell off Linux!”
Oh wow, I guess I always just assumed they had a draft mode. The game’s been on my radar for a while, but that’s a non-starter for me without one.
They did have something similar to a draft mode. It’s been a while since I played but you would build a deck from a series of options, usually 3 cards or 3 synergized subsets of cards, and this would repeat 15(?) times. Then when the deck is built you queue against other constructed decks.
People would just reset a run if their drafted deck didn’t come together.
This always comes up in these card games, what’s so great about draft modes? I don’t play card games myself but I’ve tried getting into them in the past and this is always a point of conversation and I don’t really understand why.
