you mentioned spirit being better than grant +1+1 but in a deck with no keyword synergy what's the difference?

can you share the tier list as a whole?

The reason the game is dying, is because the devs literally killed multiplayer themselves. I've never seen a developer kill their own game the way Riot did with LoR multiplayer/competitive.

I am the first one to watch😊

The Elden Ring pvp meta is in a very healthy place right now. Very few outright exploits, and everything feels strong.

Just hit B rank in PVP with explosive weapons only, looking to push our build as far as A rank without ever focusing on chip and run strategies.

OOF

Unfortunately we have no formal ranking system for Elden Ring, but in Armored Core 6 the climb is super smooth. Reminds me of LOR in the early days. But instead of off meta decks I'm using off meta mechs.

man you repeated yourself from minute 2 to minute 6 on loop.

Let me just stop you right there. Elden ring is NOT one of the hardest games out there right now. Idk why it gets that reputation. You have so many broken tools at your disposal, it's crazy

Lot of good weapons in the DLC

Per Category as class in weapon or as in. Str, Dex, Int, Fth, Arc

As someone who has cared about ranked card game play, it's likely no surprise that something like Elden Ring would be appealing to me. It's challenging, mechanically complex, and offers a lot of build opportunities. Here are a few lessons I've learned after engaging with the Post Game DLC content with 7 different characters.

LoR was IMO a really good game, I never liked MTG or HS, this felt fresh for me and really entertaining. Corporate greed and bad management made them lost all focus on what this game was good at.

I tried to get into this game last month looking for something I hadn't already played in the competitive TCG space and it was so clear that the game did not have any interest in me playing anything but Path of Champions. 9/10 of the starter decks they give you aren't even competitively legal! I had to Google how to make a deck at all, and I hardly had enough cards in my pool to make one! It was such a shame that it made me go back to play Hearthstone for a bit.

LoR has been going downhill ever since Elder Dragon's release. His origin is basically a PoC power in the game that promotes card piles over anything else. Eternal has been Elder pile over Elder pile for more than half a year now, and Riot keep nerfing things that this "PoC power" makes broken instead of reworking Elder altogether. I'm not saying that a Runeterra champion origin that's always active (like ED, Ryze or Bard) is definitely bad, but Riot doesn't seem to know how to do it right. To worsen things, Riot looked at the players leaving PvP due to the decrease in game quality, and decided that because there are more PoC players now so they would fully invest in them and just ditch the mess they created in PvP. The last batch of card release (Lillia, Vex and Lux 2.0) are designed for PoC, and while they are certainly fun to deckbuild around, it still feels like they missed out on synergy points, where they are not necessarily great in any archetype, just good cards in themselves. I used to pride myself of being able to refine and hit Masters with meme concepts, and advocating the importance of having good balance between synergy cards, tech cards, anti-meta cards, and 'generic good cards', and also managing the deck's curve and flexibility. But over the past half a year, or even the past year, LoR meta has been good card piles all over and it's lacking the rock-paper-scissors interaction that has been always present in the game prior to that. (Hell I'll even consider Azirelia-ThreshNasus-MatronWatcher meta to be better than a meta full of Elder piles) IMO if Riot really want to bring back PvP, they can introduce variance by tweaking balance numbers more wildly and experimentally, like they did in the patch of K/DA cards. Although, with Elder Dragon still in the game I'm not sure how effective that is gonna be in incentivising players to return.

Honestly full respect to the LOR Competetive community for continuing to play the game. But I'm happy POC is at least being taken care of. It always felt like the gem of the game.

There is nothing wrong with path of champions. It’s so much fun to play and that’s why everyone is moving there

For me, its the pacing, its just too slow, 5 - 10 minutes a game. Id really love for them to double up animation speed seriously, less waiting time during early game turn (like 30 seconds).

I agree that decks as a concept is just non existent. To buid on your point, for LOR players who are invested in the storyline, we love to play like Leona Diana, Garen Lux, Kayle Morgana and PoC does not really deliver that? PvP was a great medium for rich narrative experience. Sad really...

Quickly gonna pour one out for every streamer that has left the game. Mogwai, Grappler, Swim, Majin Bae, Bruised By God, Sunny is half out, and then I'm half out as well.

Again, I'm not super happy to report that LOR competitive has fallen off a cliff by every metric since the last patch and that there are no new announcements for shakeups for the game going forward. I'm also not happy to report that everyone left playing LOR is moving to Path of Champions. But that is where we are at now.

are you diagnosed :?

I think even most Standard players understand that Cloud Drake was way more of a problem. But top players would also be more likely to suggest something like changing the origin to only include dragons as well. My guess is that the LoR team is just too small to feel comfortable making any changes on this level, and that's why we got something so half-assed instead. Of course they also missed on Iron Conquest - the real boon that pushed Hecarim to the top in the first place. So even if that deck took a hit, it now just means the crazy winrate Norra/Morde lists are finally spiking in popularity. And that deck sometimes also plays Wingsgiving, which is also insane in standard...

what if they directly nerfed ED by making his boons only apply to units that are actually played for 6+ mana. if the cloud drake discount deletes your dragonboons, it's no longer problematic and there is also no need to nerf cloud drake for the crimes committed by ED. Nerfing ED in this way would also solve the issue with ancient yeti, heisho, burblefish-type followers and the 6 mana self-discounting Elite they used to play with ED. As you say yourself, it's no use nerfing any 6 cost follower to fix ED bc another one will take its place. I believe the same applies to cloud drake.

The irony is that these nerfs actually hurt non Eddy decks more, with Heckarim dropping to like 52% win rate, and things like Annie Jhin who loved fireball dragon getting hit hard as well. Talk about missing the mark and nuking Japan instead...too soon?

Again, I'm gonna keep hammering home that this new director has so far been 0 for 0 with balance changes in LOR. Because card design is hard, and balancing an archetype around the advice of a small subsection of players is stupid because learning how to move a mouse does not equate to game design.

Do you think you could release the deck codes you use for your top decks? If you havw time i would really appreciate. Maybe append to the video description where you already have your list

i watch all your stuff dont stop making content please awesome video helps a lot

Some people might wonder why I constantly make videos explaining how to beat me, it really just has to do with how I interact with games. Without adversity or challenge the reward means nothing. Masters means nothing to me unless there is someone who is capable of stopping me. Otherwise it's just solitaire city.

What I'm seeing is what's referred to as the casual adjustment. You have a host of players rushing into ladder overconfident and auto losing matchups they should have a game into. The reason they don't is simple, they are building every deck wrong...find out more in this video so you can improve.

Again the last director gave us amazing changes like new Vlad, new Katarina, new Garen. This new director can't nerf the one broken card in an archetype but instead picks on the three auxiliaries that can easily be swapped out due to the runeterra region ability. It's on the card son cloud drake can be played along any six drops it wants in the cloud drake (I mean eddy deck)

Overall Eternal remains a diverse and interesting format. Like imagine how thrilled I was when I found out standard was more then just ephemerals and eddy, that's basically Eternal 100% of the time times 10, you can never be entirely sure what people will run because there's just a lot of healthy diversity.

I forgot to mention Sett, he's gonna sneak in there somewhere too he always does with his coin duplication and not dying thing. There's also arguments for old school things like shadow ramp where you just hard run the vengences and harsh winds, you're gonna have your Akshan decks, you're gonna have a little traditional midrange like scouts etc, you'll have some ping spam with Seraphine, maybe a little Temo traps for spice.

Hey your videos are very interesting, love your thought processes and explanations, I just wish you uploaded more gameplay. Cheers ^^

What other games do you play? Also, first deck looks sick.

We have three great new aggro decks that are performing just as well as Elder Dragon in the standard format. Eternal ladder is opening up in 1 week so look forward to climbing updates there as we insta rank up like always. Also deck highlights as new lists are released using the new expansion.

I just started playing a month ago. Played the starter Dragon deck and POC first week, then got enough wild cards to craft the Hecarim deck. I don't think it's as good as ED. It's good, i was going 65% win rate in Silver and Gold with Hecarim, but I went 90% win rate breezing through Platinum with ED Shayvana Morgana. ED is just too broken. I've never pulled off the Hecarim on turn 4 combo. Mostly it's kinda clunky and I lose if i don't draw Shark Chariot early or have Dragon Ambush towards turn 5-6. I almost never even draw/play Hecarim. Still very good deck well above 50% win rate, but not as strong as ED. It's hard going against Garen or Braum. But it's really good against ED decks that are slower or don't have regen. I want to figure out something better but don't have the cards to experiment... Maybe something with direct burn damage? Gangplank Gnar/MF? But even that might be too slow?

Just started playing a month ago and only got ED this week, you were not kidding. ED is broken in standard. Went from Gold to Diamond playing only ED Shayvana Morgana, going 16-2, only losing once to ED Braum Gnar and once to Hecarim. Part of yhat streak was 11-0, then I lost twice in a row in Platinum I. Previously was playing Hecarim and the climb from Bronze to Gold was maybe 65% win rate. I thought that was strong, but ED is just completely broken. Yes Hecarim can sometimes beat it, but it's not nearly as OP.

I just hit platinum in rank standard with hercarim meta and norra elder dragon meta. In this rank u lost 20 LP when losing match. It is more grinding more than ever. Not to mention oppoent you face are elite duelists. Any tip for me to advance to diamond. Perhaps not this season maybe after another rotation

Basically, what we are seeing is that standard players are slowly figuring out the Eddy problem in the best ways they can.

:(
