Just a heads up about how riot feels on Deny from the preview patches.
Some decks specifically only play ionia to get access to deny. The tier1 deck with mistwraith uses it for shadow assassin and deny. The rest is SI. That might qualify what Riot thought as a reason to change things
Innervate should be rotated with the addition that it should be un-nerfed. It hasn't seen play since the nerf and I just really miss utilizing it to it's full potential.
Wild Growth, again with it being un-nerfed. Breath of Dreams powercreeps it so hard now and Wild Growth just feels dead. Un-nerfing it would fit in Wild Non-Dragon Druid decks.
Divine Spirit AND Inner Fire. We all know the combo, it's just not fun on the receiving end.
Acolyte of Pain or any other neutral draw engine. Acolyte has been used in many, many decks to the point where it's "almost" an auto-include. Azure Drake was one of the first cards moved to the Hall of Fame, and it was because it was an auto-include in many decks, why doesn't Acolyte get treated the same way?
Big Game Hunter once again, with him being un-nerfed. I can't recall the last time this guy was relevant, even with Embiggen druid on the ladder he's still not seeing play. Unless I'm just not paying close enough attention.
To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Leeroy Jenkins should definitely be moved because of the burst damage. Sure it's a fun card to teach new players the appropriate time to play certain cards, but he's frequently been on people's nerves for way too long.
Alexstrasza because that much burst is not fun. If Leeroy is constantly called out for out of nowhere burst damage, Alex should be too.
Malygos hasn't had THAT much of an impact on some metas. But I feel like he limits design space in a way because of the +5 Spell Damage he has. I have a feeling that there were several cards in production and Team 5 said "Wait, Malgos exists, scrap it."
Mountain Giant is the least likely to be moved to the Hall of Fame due to Valdris Felgorge having just been released, but an 8/8 on turn 4 because your opponent has a full hand, of most likely answers to whatever you're about to play, always feels bad. I know Splitting Image Mage has fallen to the way side since Doom in the Tomb, but it still felt horrible to go up against.
A lot of you will probably disagree with me which is fine, but all of above it just opinionated.
Innervate is used in quest druid to complete the quest also to play with Nourish.
Wild Growth I disagree, it's a decent choice off zephyrs. (sorry if I butchered his name)
DS & IF I don't think both need to be HoF only divine spirit, inner fire is good when you can limit how much hp a minion can gain, besides there are other hp/attack flip effects in the game.. and they are fine, divine spirit is the one which is wrong.
Acolyte of Pain- every time he is used differently he is far from auto include.
BGH.. I think he should be buffed to 4 mana.. but he is relevant off zhephyrs.
Alex- a fine candidate for HoF (also I get 3200 dust :D but that's another story)
Malygos- but he costs 9 mana.. how many cards are actually limited by this 9 mana card.. think he is fine cause every time he is played it's a different deck
Mountain Giant - think he is been around for far too long.. time for him to move to HoF, it would give design space to buff handlock even further.
So you want design space for handlock but without mountain giant? Handlock only existed throughout time cause it could pull a mountain giant early on and free molten giants later with taunt given to them. They already nerfed them and removed them from the game. Only mountain remains. Handlock is just on the brink of playability cause of mountain giant on turn 4. Remove it and say bye to the archetype
I lost a bet. So i had to use for game tags the name of an awful player from one of the top teams in my country's football league. I use too for this website
this is a step by step battle. once one step has been declared its written in stone. so a declared blocker will prevent the attacker from reaching the nexus. the spell removing the unit happens after this has been declared so it cannot go back the enemy unit is unable to reach the nexus despite the fact the blocker has been removed.
150k packs sold. Considering there's 100million player base but i would say only like 10% actually play it whats the math? I mean if theres around 5 to 10million active each week 150k packs sold means 10 to 20% of the players bought it. I would say thats a lot. In f2p games if 10 to 20% of player base actually spend money i would say thats successful.
I just hope this doesn't encourages them to release more paying adventures each set.
old builds? what are u talking about? rez priest? kingsbane? thats so old news. the only decks that have survived through the ages in wild but with different variations due to exps is reno decks and pirate warrior. the big priest u mention is bad today and honestly im facing more of them then i would expect. its so weird how ppl still cling on such a toxic deck despite its power level being seriously lower now
i guess we found the braum emoter when things go his way. thoroughly explains why emote isnt bad and defends it with his life. yeah im not surprised if you are that kind of guy that doesnt use the emotes as a way to acknowledge your opponent but rather to upset him
Sorry to see you prefer ad hominem attacks over actual logic. You must get super-triggered by the Heimerdinger emote.
i dont actually. i like it a lot. most ppl so far only used it to express that im taking too long to make my play. which makes sense they emote that im thinking a lot so its cool even tho they are like:"cmon man make ur play im dying here"; while im like: "chill man, genius at work here no need to complain, ur aggro deck can wait"
actually no cause its an 8 drop. only works vs slower decks and another thing is that most ppl and rightfully so only use one card of him per deck which reduces the chances of drawing him. of course theres some tutor draw cards like the Bjerg from Freljord but yeah.
its a powerfull card but thats what an epic 8 drop unit should look like in a game. i know its used as a win con but thats just what a control deck looks like or a midrange that includes a card that can win vs slower decks. If it is drawn
Calling these things toxic is the very height of emotional fragility. I can't believe someone who would say that can even stand to go near any part of the internet.
More broadly, an etiquette is a set of expected and accepted behaviors. To build an etiquette around these emotes is just setting others up to fail.
Forming expectations about how others use stickers is pointless because there is no verbal component, and they can easily mean different things to different people.
Likewise, the belief that certain usages are not acceptable can never be more than a personal opinion, not a shared social convention.
Even if someone made a "Snowflake's Guide to Runterra Emotes," you could never be sure any significant portion of the player base would read it, so your expectations and acceptance of other people's usage would still be based on absolutely nothing.

Personally I think the problem is that hyper aggro is too easy to get away with.
Other than that, if you wanna miss out on some of the cool abilities champions can grant, that's your loss for building a champion-less deck, and as your opponent, I wouldn't really mind.
theres a control deck that runs no champions tho lately its been added braum to deal with the elusives. i think its fine, and if an aggro deck runs no champions i will be happy to face it cause many aggro deck just snowball when their champion sticks and or levels up
Wait we start at Silver? Everyone starts at Iron. Unless they changed with the recent patch
Take every Ionia cards out except for dawn and dusk to combo with anivia and Deny for obvious stupidity reasons

iron, bronze, silver, gold, plat, diamond, masters
i totally agree
Blizzard has lost its mojo. Will they redeem themselves with diablo 4?

The 4 million iq deck that uses heimderlinger is quite good vs elusive decks. Its on mobalitycs
Star aligner druid in wild.
The technology is here bois
I fucking hope not. I whish them good luck and I'm sure they will be great assets for whatever game they are working on
