It's all the same username, but two separate lauchers:
League of Legends + TFT = 1 launcher
Legends of Runeterra = 1 launcher
I think in time all of these will collapse into 1 Riot Games launcher, but not quite there yet.

I haven't followed the game closely so I wouldn't know but the problem isn't the balance per-say. It's that everyone has access to everything via crafting which is a good thing in essence but makes rank tiers meaningless in a card-game.
Hey it would be great if you added this info to the OT, from Mobalytics. Spells can be very confusing for new players.
I highly recommend the Mobalytics wiki, it explains very succinctly many confusing keywords, and adds small descriptions of the deck styles of every region.

Very hyped for this game
It doesn't even look like Mac is on the roadmap at all. Looks like PC beta -> PC + mobile full launch.
I'm partitioning a W10 section tonight - you can get a free 90 day trial here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-10-enterprise and hopefully that brings you to the mobile release date
I think the Anivia nerf is very tastefully done. It doesn't kill the card and it makes it more faithful to LoL in terms of its defensiveness. Just realized they haven't decided to rethink The Box or Kalista, which is a shame.
The magic players guide was super useful (as someone who doesn't play HS but plays MTG everyday). I really appreciate it Kitsune. A lot of the mechanics when i was reading up are very similar and relatable to Magic and even ESL (RIP) so i understood those fairly fast.
If you played in CB, you have access tomorrow at 2 PM Eastern.
as they said you're covered, but no I was talking about preregistering as there was a period through I think the 19th that if you signed up you would get access a day early.
Sr Kitsune Thank you so much for posting those charts! Really helpful as both a Hearthstone and Magic player (more so Magic). I love White and Black decks most of all, so looks like I'll concentrate on Shadow Isles and Demacia to start with. Getting kinda excited for this tomorrow. Hopefully it's easy to play without paying much (if any) actual money, not looking for a money sink right now.
If I just pre-registered today will I not be able to play tomorrow? That would be a bummer, I have off tomorrow but work all weekend.

That's disappointing but ah well. Depending on when it opens up on Friday I might be able to play a little bit in the morning. Looks more likely I'll be waiting till Monday or so to play, though.
Just a heads up, a Rioter commented in reddit that they've updated the XP Rewards section, they pulled data from the wrong spreadsheet when redacting the article and values got mixed. (They mixed Defeat constructed XP and Defeat vs AI XP)
Quoting the updated XP section, I don't have the old version to compare to. But I believe you can spot the difference in the constructed, lose xp:
The Riot comment in reddit:
So far, mostly good. All of the balance changes seem good.
Not happy about region locking, we'll see how things go there or if I'll just make an American account.
Also sad they didn't radically change expeditions, because as a draft guy, frankly, it sucked and needs an overhaul.

Ahhh.
No I didn't unfortunately. I thought that the CB peeps would be all good.
CB people ARE covered and will begin playing tomorrow.
sorry if I wasn't clear enough when I said they said you were covered ^^; but yeah you should be fine.
Yup! It doesn't really change anything in my post because I'm only tracking the first handful of wins and losses. Having base AI wins being worth half as much as PvP is quite generous. If you find it fun, you could probably play 6 AI (guaranteed) wins and come out almost as good as 3 wins, 3 losses PvP.
Think I'm going to run a Demacian Elite deck, mainly because Cithria is a cool character in the lore. Love the way she progresses across cards.

Alright!
Sweet! Having some boys over tmr so it'll be fun to play some drafts together. When we play HS arena we usually draft 10 cards each and then take turns playing the deck. Of course making fun of whoever gets that third loss XD
I don't know of one. It's not like it's hard to create one. If no one else wants to do it I can and then hand it off to someone who is going to care more about the meta as I doubt I will play more than causally lol.
Oh yeah Swimmer had a Riot Tester in his chat explaining the changes, we knew they had sets planned ahead, but apparently Cloud Drinker was nerfed because of interactions in future sets. It's good to know like HS and Magic that they're on top of things, I expect the content stream to be strong.
Thanks for the info. Guess my stack of RP is going to rot. I don't buy the excuse, I think it is not beneficial for Riot to share currency, and they just latched onto the first excuse. App store currency is there to prevent app publishers from selling their product outside the ecosystem circumventing Google/Apple profits, so if Riot is selling the currency directly on PC, the excuse falls apart.
I see regions in the launcher :( All of them... If they split EUW and EUNE, not even going to bother with the game.
I think Riot invested into the lore a couple of years ago. No longer just a background bio of characters, but comics/events/stories are promoting the lore. One area they completely suck is lore-based skins. There should be more skins based on lore events: young, historical battles. At the moment, most LoL skins are just cosplays of things outside the lore.
Yeah. Shadowverse just keeps your currencies separate, so no reason why Riot couldn't port RP over and keep it PC only. Also, I hate that they made a ton of micro tweaks and hinted at the ramifications (commons net less shards, also shards are worth some other amt we don't know about). Just feels like typical gatcha obfuscation.
Knowing Riot, they'll be consistent in the balance changes. I doubt we'll ever run into a situation where the game 'breaks' because of card interactions, or to see them outright ban cards like Magic when they can simply be changed.
I just hope they don't go overboard on rebalancing. Gwent going monthly with significant balance changes and forcing you to recraft and rebuild decks constantly ruined that game for me.
Terra has different approach to card acquisition so constant rebalancing shouldn't hurt so much here :)
If they start doing it a lot i hope they implement something like MTGA does where if they ban a card they refund the wildcards. I know nerfing isn't banning but imagine crafting a deck only to have multiple key cards useless. That would suck especially for people who won't minmax.
I got the email that I'm in... I get to play today! I have a meeting at work and it looks like I'll be back home in time for the roll-out. HYPE.
EDIT: Looks like I'll be doing Piltover & Zaun/Noxus as I mostly play Hunter in HS and Rakdos in Magic.

Moderately excited for this. Can't wait to discover the game, I know basically nothing which should make this super-fun on the short term. Mid and long term..., after Hearthstone, Gwent, Magic and Artifact in some way or another screwed up, I just can't trust card games to grow positively.
Anyway, hope the game has a good tutorial.

this is where I am at. I'm just waiting on the other shoe to drop due to my experience with other card games...
I'm in for a good not a long time
That said Slay the Spire is so fucking good if an online game dies I know I've got a perfect single player experience just waiting for me
But also Artifact for life
