    The strategy you will/will implement is really important.

    You have to use the cards correctly. some cards even have a first attack bonus, and yes, even you have to use them correctly.

    Although it's like a side game of LoL swamp, it's better than LoL. By the way, you don't need to have played LoL to play.

    not p2w.

    Better than Heartstone in my opinion.

    Really good mechanics, stunning visuals.
    The PVE campaign "Path of Champions" is a lot of fun and a good way to learn.
    Good job Riot!

    It's a brilliant game. Top 3 TCG. It has a fun game play, complex meta game, and it is very accessible resource-wise. The only con I can think of for this game is that it is not at all beginner friendly, and learning the game overall or all of its intricacies is very time consuming and I understand why it would push a lot of new players away, but it is very well worth it if you are a cardIt's a brilliant game.

    A solid F2P card game with great presentation and a solid progression. Decent variety and creativity in deck building.

    Today I played lor, I played LAB mode. A mode that fights with Ai with characters like Yasuo Jinx Jayce to choose from. I have played Yasuo until Victor. Before reaching the Viktor stage, I had to pass a level where it was random, every turret Round start.
    I'm going to tell you that **** is so unbalanced I'm stuck at level 3 4 times and still haven't passed.
    I think what
    1. Unbalanced is a card that Ai randomly gets and still gets a Key word. Key word is this. It pisses me off a lot. I randomly hit through and the one that hit through is a T-Rex 8/8.
    2. The card I have The gad I randomly picked up some important characters.
    2.1 Cleared the whole board (this one I'm okay with) but what's not okay is when the main character is dead What character? to defeat the T-rex 8/8 Overwhelm.

    2.2 Random Gards Gards that can make me play easier won't say. For example, if I do a Yasuo + Yone combo, these gards won't come out.

    End. I'm dizzy. I'm totally out of mood playing this LAB. I wasted 1 to 2 hours.
    Played several rounds, but still did not pass.    … Expand

    This is about as good as a TCC can get, I think.
    I especially love the story mode, but there are so many things that always bothered me about other TCCs, especially digital ones, that this game does so much better.

    The game is something between Meh and OK.
    F2P friendly, nice Graphics/Artwork and regual new content makes it fun for a game now and then.
    The biggest let down for me are Bugs, Metaplay and communication. Bugs appear on a dayli base and range from grafics glitches into others to cards wont work or you cant place them (even though i encountered gamebreaking bugs very rarely). Bugs    The game is something between Meh and OK.

    The biggest let down for me are Bugs, Metaplay and communication.
    Bugs appear on a dayli base and range from grafics glitches into others to cards wont work or you cant place them (even though i encountered gamebreaking bugs very rarely).
    Bugs stay in the game for very long until they get fixed e.g. Shurima came out 8 Months ago and Azirs voice lane is still cut during the lvl up animation.

    Communication means, i have the feeling they only hear positiv feedback and ignore negativ feedback/player suggestions, one reason i post my critic here.
    Imo the Report Side is not comfortable (i was not able to use it for a long time) and i dont like the big chatroom on discord, i feel ignored.

    There are a lot builds you can play but only for the Memes, not for winning. In ranked, you can see only flavor of the month, the Metagame is very strong in this one.
    Off-Meta builds are really not fun to play and the few Meta Builds change on every patch.
    Power Creep is a huge problem in LoR, every patch, the new Cards are way more powerfull then the "older ones", either by having way better Stats/cost ratio or have the same stats but really good keywords.
    The game makes no secret that it has its focus on fast games, thats why rush decks are Meta and lategame or control decks feel useless. E.g. Seamonsters needs you to throw 25 of your 40 cards away ,literally(!), to have theyr keyword work.
    The only reason i do sometimes recommend it to some die hard League fans is its because its F2P.

    EDIT: New expansion is out, tonns of skinns, new power creep no balancing.    … Expand

    Unbalanced, and don't know if the game is more luck than me but it always got a card to beat me just in time all the time, and the cards too op, then riot just add more op card, overall: almost trash

Ну или банально не нашел времени. А потом вдруг я задался вопросом. А нафига я захожу в эту игру делать ежедневные задания и трачу от полчаса до нескольких часов в день, если игра мне особо и не нравится, ну не тянет опять играть. И тут я решил притормозить. Начал играть лишь по одной причине - положительные отзывы из-за ее f2p дружелюбности. Возможно, так и есть, я просто в игре слабо разобрался. Ну вот не хочется в нее играть снова и снова. Игровой процесс утомляет.
    Игра имеет еще и мобильную версию. Я играл только на ПК, но мне кажется, что для смартфона эта игра очень даже ничего. Сложно представить современного человека без смартфона с интернетом, вы можете играть в LOR в любом месте, как вам надо будет убить время, доставать смартфон и запускать эту игру, а ПК использовать для других игр    … Expand

    Good for nothing pay to win antics game created to trick players into buying cards that are way overpowered making it impossible for players to play against and win. A good for nothing pay to win video game that you rather not play unless you have nothing else to play in which I have to say "get a job".

    As a former Hearthstone & MtG refugee, I am amazed that this game has combined the best elements of each into one amazing card game. The mana system is beautiful and elegantly designed, using a spell mana system that can carry over unused mana into the next turn (only to be used on spells rather than creatures/followers).

The mana system is beautiful and elegantly designed, using a spell mana system that can carry over unused mana into the next turn (only to be used on spells rather than creatures/followers).

    This game is interactive and competitive, but still casual friendly. It's casual friendly because the business model makes it easy to gain all the cards for FREE within a few months of play (I play casually, took about 4 months). However, the games are intense, with room for so much counterplay, giving you a feeling that each of your choices either win or lose you the game. This can be stressful for some.

    The best part is that the game has a very, very diverse meta and set of archetypes. There are so many good decks to play (current meta has something like 15 tier 1 decks).

    Finally, they release cards at least every 2 months, which can really shake up the meta, giving you the diversity you crave in a card game.    … Expand

    Never thought a card game could be so friendly to users who doesn't want to play. The cards looks amazing and are even better designed.

    There’s a lot of pleasure to be had in watching your favorite champions do similar tricks to those from League of Legends. It’s a bold mix of themes known from Magic: The Gathering and Hearthstone with stuff that’s absolutely unique. [07/2020, p.48]
