@Bricky idk but could you tell me why can't you escape polish people? Or maybe it's you that constantly stumbbles upon us, for we are the first to find/make good things and keep to them, after all we as a country are well known for internet piracy, which was born from RSSR's bellt tithening which coased many polish minds to try and optain what they could not have, even if not in this world but withing the lines of code. After all we ALL seek reason and happines, and we ALL will take ANY action to find/make/get those things and/or ideas. Again what do you think?
We might not be getting a full on region, but it seems we're getting a big Void expansion on November. Whatever the case, they've said they will have every LoL champion in the game eventually, so it should be fine.
Like the ogre said, they are everywhere, vel'koz is known to roam the plains of noxus, Kai'sa is trying to stop rek'sai kids from eating the shurimani people.
Every lurker in the deck will get +1/0 ONLY if there's a lurker on the top of your deck when you attack which means that if 90% of your cards aren't lurk you run a big chance to not get the buff
I actually feel like lurk is kinda region locked if you want to really get use from it since rek'sai really buffs it up by doing it twice while pyke strikes and wipes the board so i use them together and call em the ultimate hunters since i'm not sure how many champs fall into lurker territory so feel like it's mostly rek'sai offspring and species and pyke and overall different deep sea fish from nagakeboros from illaoi possibly
A good majority of the deck will be lurkers, and there is a lot of predict, so even though I agree it is a little heavier on the rng side, it's still surprisingly consistent.
Best digital card game I have ever played. Great game-design taking lessons learned from both Magic the Gathering and Hearthstone and fixing problems of both, while also being different enough to feel fresh. High quality animations and sound-design and a very very generous monetization scheme. I cannot complain.
Love the video, but I think it’s odd that you criticized Viego for not having flexible build options and then in the next breath praised Lurk, which has the least flexible build options of any archetype in the game.
When one card itself is limited to a specific region like Viego is it makes sense, but he praised lurk not because its flexible, but because its a new innovative keyword they decided to toy around with. New keywords breathe life into a game and the lurk archetype of cards is actually pretty neat. But you are right in that it isn't very flexible
@@CantStopWontStop9774 lurk isnt very flexible but it also is not a breathe of life. When a mechanic is introduced that only supports itself, is weak when not supported, introduces handicaps like once per turns, and can only be found in two of the 10 regions, it becomes toxic as it creates content bloat. and Veigo works in any region that has minions who can die.
@@DanteMustLearn yeah that's true but i was mainly addressing the person i replied to. Bricky praised the coming up with a new keyword and deck archetype because its treading new water. Doesnt matter if its good or bad, gotta try it first. And viego at the current moment, is limited in the decks it can excell in. That is all
Oh, Bricky, if you like milling your opponent, there's a whole Piltover/Shadow Isles deck running about, based around summoning a ton of Aloof Travelers through playing them and using Fading Memories/Stalking Shadows, then obliterating your opponents' draws through multiple Harrowings to summon all those Travelers again.
I have that deck! My friend absolutely hates it and complains when fighting against that deck lol (Also, Called Shot I find really funny for a Harrowing+Parallel Conergence turn)
Oh, I played against that yesterday! Is that what the wincon was? Because I just assumed its goal was to tilt me so far I can't read the cards anymore.
just fyi, they confirmed that bandle city is the 10th and final region, so ixtal and void champs will be shoved into the other regions where they fit best
If this is true, I'm a little disappointed but I can understand why. Rito probably want to keep the Void a relative mystery; we still don't know exactly whats in it. Having Void champions pop up in different regions makes sense as to keep that secret, while still showcasing those champions.
@@suncore65 no it is not because of that. Adding new regions is just pointless gameplay-wise now and the two missing ones aren't that important either way.
@@muratkahraman8313 I mean for the average player, Azir will never be quite as good as other champions, but what really makes him bad are the countless bugs that have been present for over half a year now that have no sign of getting fixed
@@spirto1279 Average player sure, but Azir was king of pro meta. Riot has officially stated they fear buffing him into being meta again and will only sparingly buff him.
Love the vid, your first LoR vid got me into the game and I've been playing since, but I couldn't disagree more with the flexibility take with Viego and Lurkers. Now I am not gona say that Viego is an incredibly flexible champ but there is a decent variety of decks you can make with him. Lurkers is among the least flexible decks in the game. If you want to play Rek'Sai or Pyke the only way to make them any sort of useful is in a lurk deck, and the only way to make a lurk deck is to just throw in most of the cards with a lurk keyword and splash in some predict. To be clear I am not a lurk hater, I actually like the archetype but it is one of the most limiting deck types with very little room for creativity, certainly less than you would have with Viego. Anyways, great vid, I agreed with pretty much everything else you had to say, especially the cosmetics maybe not being up to par.
I was also confused why he talked about viego instead of lurk in that case. I have never seen a card with lurk, outside of a full on (Reksai pyke) lurk deck. Ever! Viego has atleast different regions he can go with, while Lurk is exclusivly limited to Bilgewater and Shurima.
Indeed, Viego decks might have the same game plan, but the way you do it varies if you use Shurima, Shadow Isles, Frejlord or Ionia. With lurk you can only play Shurima with Bilgewater, that's it.
@@MsLucho1998 and once you've filled your deck with lurkers, and lurker reksai, and lurker pyke you aren't left with much room for flavor. Especially from Bildgewater if you want to combo your lurkers with "predict" which is coincidentally only on the Shurima side. So you're left with a Shurima heavy, Reksai/Pyke, lurk/predict deck just like everyone else. Any deviancy is met with drastic fall off.
I just got beat by mono shurima rek'sai that level up in one turn using obelisk of power and shaped stone, it doesn't really need lurk when you got 17|7 overwhelmed unit that +1 when attacking (+2 when lurk)
I would love to see more Runeterra content from you, I found out about this game from you, so glad to see more about it here. I play Viego decks a lot, but I can kind of agree with your opinion on Viego regarding deck building. I think it’s actually intentional, because Virgo’s whole shtick is taking everything for himself and the Shadow Isles. That being said, I see a lot of variations where Viego is paired with Shurima and the Freljord a lot.
Viego's actually a little more flexible than people give him credit for I feel. He works great in SI-focused archetypes, works really well with Ionia Deathmark gameplans, Freljord control, and one I haven't seen anyone mention is midrangey-control Viego Sion SI/Noxus. Haven't seen the Shurima ones though, but I can see how that might work well. All that said though, his level up animation leaves a lot to be desired... I recommend trying out that Sion Viego deck if you'd like a different change of pace, and Snnuy has a video on it, good day and take care!
I remember you praising LoR at the beginning, I never was into online card games, but this game hooked me, even though it was for a short while. I didn't play it for a long time and I wondered where it is now and luckilly, you got me covered. :D nice
Take a look at howling abyss. I made a deck with only removal spells and howling abyss. You just delete the opponents win conditions until you just start spamming lvl 2 champions. It doesnt work all the time, but if it does, its the funniest shit.
Niiiice. I made a fiora deck with a bunch of buffs, debuffs, and howoloing abyss, that way I have two win conditions, fiora, or the random lvl 2 champion i get. Its rly fun.
As an enjoyer of finer details, lore expansion, and lastly cards games. Your original video on LoR is not only what got me to drop Hearthstone after 5 years and switch over. But it also what got me to binge your channel in its entirety and watch every upload since. Thanks for giving justice to games that really don't recieve the credit where its due and keep doing great man. (Just a side note on the regions: Riot said they aren't doing any more regions; they're releasing those champions within the regions they're most relevant to)
Glad I finally find someone who feels the same about the recent level-up animation. I mean, while they look great, many of them doesn't have the same impact that old-style animations have.
This is the best card game in my opinion. It has amazing graphics, music, depth and it's really free to play friendly unlike hearthstone and magic where you need to pay so much money just to create a few competitive meta decks in order to enjoy the game. Gwent is also really good but legends of runeterra is just the better and more fun to play game in my opinion. Give it a try.
Hey Bricky, been watching you since you made "So you want to main Yasuo". Its been a long time since Ive played LoL and when I stopped I kind of stopped watching your videos since then they were still focused around it. However, I later saw some of your game reviews/commentaries and I really fell back into watching your stuff. I've always loved your style of humor and your commentaries in general. So in other words, you're doing an amazing job and I along with your community are all grateful for it. Have a good one bud.
Viego is kind of lacking when it comes to lvl up etc. but god damn that card is so good xD Nothing is funnier than stealing the strongest enemy card and blasting your opponent with 7/7 Encroaching Mists. Love that card so much
Augment gang. Before it was all about viktor/zoe creation, but im finding that Nami was a fine addition, if you prefer creating spells constantly instead of followers. its fun watching viktor with every possible positive keyword also reach stats like 60/20
Viktor/Vi are pretty fun together too. Buff up a unit’s attack, then give it Overwhelm with Might, Zenith Blade, Lucky Finds, etc. Plus generating a bunch of cheap cards helps level both Vi and Viktor at the same time.
I personally love the lvl up animations. I like to see the character leveling up more than the card itself. It feels glorious. Maybe because i grew up with Yu-Ghi-Oh! My biggest issue is that they disabled the global server (cross-shard challange) so you can't play with other players outside your servsr region :( I loved the 2v2 labs too and they retired it. The new labs is amazing too.
12:24 I do hope they keep the multi-region thing exclusive to Bandlecity. It just makes sense thematically, as Bandlecity is everywhere and so are its units. ^^
Who’s gonna tell bricky that they’re not adding anymore regions, all the void and ixtali champs are gonna be added to already existing regions Edit: I see I’m not the first to point that out
The biggest confusion I get from this is that void isn't even a region (it's like calling ionia "vastaya")... It's "Icathia" which is where the void began spreading, and I kinda like it if riot isn't gonna make it a full fledge region, but they'll most likely gonna make them sort of a tribe and just slap most of the voidlings in shurima (like what they did to reksai) and maybe some scattered around runeterra (velkoz/khazix)
@@nugking2021 the problem with kass (and kaisa) is that they're icathians who are influenced by the void, so I don't really know which region riot is gonna put them in (unless they do the same shit with ziggs being on shurima when he's clearly not)
I actually came back to this game because of your previous video and have been playing ever since. Their free-to-play friendliness and deck flexibility are really the main selling points for me -- there's the allure of crafting these amazing deck ideas coupled with the fact that I *can* eventually create the necessary cards within 2-4 weeks of play.
I mean, you can play viego with ionia ephemeral units, or noxus ephemeral units, or with demacian challenger units, or with units that just have big power in general to try to flip him faster. You can also play him in control shells as a value engine like SI/Freljord and not really try to turbo level him, just slowly advancing his level up while he makes free pressure on the opponent over the course of the game. He's less 1 dimensional than you are making him out to be imo, but it's okay if you don't vibe with a few champions, there are so many of them!
IMO is fitting that Viego is basically Si only since he's a selfish king who would do anything, no matter how horrible he is to get what he wants, and sacrificing his own units to grow stronger is a good way to represent his selfishness. Aside of that, great video, LOR is just getting better, I hope they don't lose this momentum and keep with this greatness in 2021 P.S: I don't mind the more cinematic Level up animations, I do think they could be shorter though, specially with ascended champions
5:07 "the best champions...are where you can build a multitude of builds around them" Oh god, he's gonna say reksai and pyke are bad champs isnt he.... seriously screw lurk being so bottlenecked edit: wait what? he talks about how you NEED to build shadow isles with Viego and at least get to sprinkle in another faction for flavor. Then he glosses over how you NEED to build Bildgewater AND Shurima (EXCLUSIVELY!!!!) with a deck FULL of the lurkers from their respective regions or pyke/reksai/lurk will fall on their asses without the ability to consistantly hit lurkers and predictions...
Yeah, that was really weird. I actually think Viego is one of the mosre diverse champions, as he's only locked into one region. I've seen him being built with Freljord, SHurima, Noxus, Targon, PnZ... pretty much any region, really. Wheras Lurk, Deep, and Tahm Soraka are completely pre-built and locked decks.
I gotta agree with you about the new levelups. The older ones like Swain, Twisted Fate, and Lucian were short, punchy, and memorable, the newer ones are too much.
Viego actually has a ton of flexibility! He was released with the idea he'd go well with demacia and you'd have a dragons deck with him, because they ramp up into having such high damage. But at various times he's been popular with shurima, freljord, and especially ionia. I also personally really like his level up because it's fast- it gives him kind of a scarier vibe imo
Imo the Viego "problem" about the deckbuilding is not reeally a problem, card games usually tend to add center pieces that incentivate you to build around that specific card (mono colors in MTG, or "only paladin" and "no creature mage" in hearthstone). Having that option is always great for someone that REALLY loves a region. Shurima ascended is another example. I LOVE shurima, so having a deck DEDICATED around that makes my brain go happy chemicals, but I understand your point around card flexibility, Azir also goes well with Irelia so having both options is always best.
"card games usually" doesn't mean it isn't a problem, just means it's common (problem or not). The centerpiece is still present in Runeterra's other champions. Swain and Viktor (which Bricky discussed) are still very much the centerpieces of those decks. Nothing wrong with enjoying that format though, just a different style :-D
@@brutalbeard9441 i mean yeah champions ARE the centerpiece of every deck, I was referring to leveling your champion. Deal non-combat damage, play created cards, summon units, these are more broad: every region can incorporate these mechanics.
@@VisanOfficial Yea, I think the problem comes from when only one region benefits from a mechanic. Boosting created cards work because it's a mechanic developed into most of the regions, flying/elusive works because landing a direct attack is rewarded in nearly every format. Self sacrifice is a fun mechanic, but the flexibility is limited here because other regions don't have any benefit to a properly timed death. It's an easy fix, if it ever becomes considered an issue. I think the problems with choice being substituted for a specific routine hurts the game harder elsewhere more-so than here :-)
@@brutalbeard9441 you make a very good point, and I hope to see both implemented in the future. I say this because the meta decks nowdays make good use of those broader level ups but it also, in my opinion, makes them less "thematic". Sejuani Gangplank isa good example, two champions that have nothing to do with eachother lorewise or gameplay-wise and they have the same conditions to level up? I find that a bit boring to be honest
I really liked and agreed with the whole thing I think I have a good answer to your Viego conundrum: since Shadow Isles is the only region that benefits from tributing allies, well just play mono-shadow then. Thresh, Kalista, Kindred will all appreciate working with Viego, and if you really wanna mix region then Nasus works well too!
Nasus works so well with that especially since his stacking ability works off of slaying your own units. It's always funny playing with him and your opponent thinking they have the upper hand, and then plopping down a 15/15 with Spellshield.
I think the real issue is that he failed to see the value in being able to splash any other region into a Viego deck and still have it function just with a different flavor. Proof of point being his praise of "lurk" which needs both shurima and Bildgewater to work; drastically limiting what you can splash in if you like the mechanic.
Viego in a vacuum is cool, first they teased him for so long, only to subvert everything by making him an lovestruck maniac edgelord with control issues and the personality of a manipulator, with a pretty tragic backstory of a love not meant to be Then you add the SoL event and the fact that he's just another pretty face in a cast of pretty faces and he becomes pretty meh, if the circumstances were not so bad Viego would've been a success
I mean in reality, Veigo is just a cry baby who wants his wife back. I am sure they could of pulled something up with a champion like morde, a real badass.
I disagree with his take here. Viego in LoR has several decks he works in. I'd level Bricky's mechanical complaints to Leona or Nocturne or even Pyke who he was praising before I'd say Viego had a forced deck.
Viego could have been so cool, the Ruined King as the boss of the invading shadow isles is such a cool concept, he could have been so great had he been more like Mordekaiser and less like every single K-pop boyband singer. Even just making his Recall Armor toggleable for normal gameplay would have made a huge difference.
@@osi3718 But Mordekaiser already exists. Viego is a crybaby who wants his wife back, yeah, that's the point. He's a spoiled, bratty narcissist who is throwing an extended tantrum over the loss of his wife, that's his character, and it's by no means bad. I mean, what is Mordekaiser? An evil warlord who conquers everything because he's an evil warlord?
Coming back to this video after watching it a month ago. I started with the original release of runeterra and decided to give it a go again after your review. And man am I over the moon about this game ever since! Thank you
Had a weird game as a minion/spell buff Garen and Lux deck. Which is like the basic of basics. And my first match against a player ever was against a Fearsome/challenger Swain Elise deck. It wasn't a stomp out like other card games would have been. It was actually a very close back and forth where I survived the final push with 1 nexus health a won on the backswing. It was a fun experience as I didn't just straight up lose to power creep.
4:20 sorry to disappoint, but it was declared that there won't be any more regions. However, new champions (also the ones not part of an existing region, such as voidborns) will be put in regions with the same theme, like Nocturne (lorewise demacian, themewise a spooky demon, hence Shadow Isles)
@@augustoemmel4333 It's more effective, but way less fun. When a Viktor/Zoe deck gets going, it gets going *hard*. Sure, it's some highroll fiesta, but the best kind of highroll fiesta.
Me, I run Viktor and nami, with the wavecaller. You just spam low cost created spells which end up seriously buffing whatever's on your board, and you can do this near infinitely.
Kinda found it funny how you criticized Viego for being an autobuild but praised lurk next. I do agree about Lurk being a lot more creative and fun tho
Great video. The only thing that bugs me is that you "complain" about the fact that Viego can only really fit into one deck (he's kinda limited I agree) but then use Lurk as a good point. Lurk is fun and has its place but it is one of if not the most limited deck from a deckbuilding perspective (next to Soraka I guess). You can't really use many cards without the Lurk keyword or your deck will be extremely inconsistent and there are not enough Lurk-cards for decks to be different. They all use more or less the same cards. The only real difference is if the deck is more Pyke or Rek'sai focused.
I always love watching your lor videos cause is my currently favorite game. I agree in everything you said in this video besides the viego champ release, I love those abs hehe. That last deck idea sounds so toxic and fun might give it a try.
I’ve actually started playing again recently. This is a crazy coincidence lol. I still have no idea what all the new cards do and most losses feel like BS but I’ve been having fun.
So Viego is actually more flexible then you give him credit for. The "Viego package" really only consists of 3 cards: Camovan Soldier, Invasive Hydravine, and Viego himself. That's 9 cards. After that you can put whatever the heck you want into the deck. Wanna put in Nasus and relive the good ole Thresh Nasus days? Go right ahead. Wanna do Ionia for protection? Sure do it. Wanna put the Viego package as your wincon for Freijord/SI Control? Honestly prolly better than most of the FTR decks running around.
Good video, but really weird that you praised Lurk and thought that Viego was too railroaded to one deck. In reality, it's nearly the exact opposite. Viego has a ton of build diversity and fits in many decks, because you will pretty much always have units dying, and one of Viego's strengths is that he makes your opponent hesitate to kill your units on occasion. Viego is overall very solid. By contrast, Lurk has exactly one deck. If you are not running almost entirely lurk cards, your deck becomes exponentially worse, because lurk only activates when the next card in your deck is a lurk card. This is one of the most unfortunate parts of Pyke's design; he's so cool and interesting as a champion and is translated exceedingly well, but he can only fit in one deck or he essentially becomes a 4 cost 2/3. Really cool video though, glad you're talking about LoR! (Also sorry about this, but the void is not coming. Bandle was the last region.)
also i think effects that rely on sth you shouldnt be able to know are stupid. and you shouldnt be able to know if the next card is a lurk card if you dont use a card to look that up.
Loved this video. Although coming from hearthstone (and I can see where you’re coming from with Virgo and a lack of build diversity) some legendaries or champions shouldn’t fit into multiple things. If one good champion or legendary is good enough in multiple decks, it can make the meta quite repetitive and tedious when you have to go through grinding the ranked mode. The fun I get from card games comes from trying to make something that is clearly a dog turd of an idea into pure gold. Loved the catch up for rune terra tho, keep at it man
For the "Higher end" skins you propose, they could add skins to cards generated by that champion. For example, imagine that Pool Party Zoe generated Supercool Starcharts that instead of the original art, were water bombs or something like that, it would be really great
They heavily promoted bandle city as the final region and made a post about how future void champions will be assigned to the regions that make the most sense with them with Rek Sai being the first
THANK YOU for mentioning the level up animations becoming less and less creative and more having the feel of playing a card of or to a champion rather than the card actually being the champion. It's so much worse and so much less creative, it kind of doesn't matter what the animation plays because the end is always the same. Nautilus, Gangplank, Ashe... These were some of the greatest. Not because of the quality of Animation but of the thematic Implementation into the actual card game going on and making you feel like you play the champion and they themselves are leveling up - as champions and cards.
Man thank you for talking about the card level ups, favorites are twisted fate and aurelion sol. They both show off the card in very cool ways and end with a nice card flourish aurelion sol literally flying into his card at rhe end and TF doing a card trick to then spin it to hit the ground.

I was going to disagree with you. Then I remembered the latest games I played Azir and noticed you were right. So here take my upvote
@@muratkahraman8313 I mean for the average player, Azir will never be quite as good as other champions, but what really makes him bad are the countless bugs that have been present for over half a year now that have no sign of getting fixed
@@spirto1279 Average player sure, but Azir was king of pro meta. Riot has officially stated they fear buffing him into being meta again and will only sparingly buff him.
The only mobile game I ever play, thanks to you bricky.
Im also balls deep into warhammer 40k, again thanks to you.
Much love brother
Love the vid, your first LoR vid got me into the game and I've been playing since, but I couldn't disagree more with the flexibility take with Viego and Lurkers. Now I am not gona say that Viego is an incredibly flexible champ but there is a decent variety of decks you can make with him.
Lurkers is among the least flexible decks in the game. If you want to play Rek'Sai or Pyke the only way to make them any sort of useful is in a lurk deck, and the only way to make a lurk deck is to just throw in most of the cards with a lurk keyword and splash in some predict. To be clear I am not a lurk hater, I actually like the archetype but it is one of the most limiting deck types with very little room for creativity, certainly less than you would have with Viego.
Anyways, great vid, I agreed with pretty much everything else you had to say, especially the cosmetics maybe not being up to par.
I was also confused why he talked about viego instead of lurk in that case. I have never seen a card with lurk, outside of a full on (Reksai pyke) lurk deck. Ever! Viego has atleast different regions he can go with, while Lurk is exclusivly limited to Bilgewater and Shurima.
Indeed, Viego decks might have the same game plan, but the way you do it varies if you use Shurima, Shadow Isles, Frejlord or Ionia. With lurk you can only play Shurima with Bilgewater, that's it.
@@MsLucho1998 and once you've filled your deck with lurkers, and lurker reksai, and lurker pyke you aren't left with much room for flavor. Especially from Bildgewater if you want to combo your lurkers with "predict" which is coincidentally only on the Shurima side.
So you're left with a Shurima heavy, Reksai/Pyke, lurk/predict deck just like everyone else. Any deviancy is met with drastic fall off.
@@h2ojr1 yeah, lurk is just the worst type of parasitic mechanic really.
I just got beat by mono shurima rek'sai that level up in one turn using obelisk of power and shaped stone, it doesn't really need lurk when you got 17|7 overwhelmed unit that +1 when attacking (+2 when lurk)
I can see he doesn't play that much, but I admire he's passion for the game.
I would love to see more Runeterra content from you, I found out about this game from you, so glad to see more about it here.
I play Viego decks a lot, but I can kind of agree with your opinion on Viego regarding deck building. I think it’s actually intentional, because Virgo’s whole shtick is taking everything for himself and the Shadow Isles. That being said, I see a lot of variations where Viego is paired with Shurima and the Freljord a lot.
I like running him in a snapvine deck.
Overgrown snapvine, not the OTHER one
With ionia you can lvl up in one turn with the shadow clones
At least they got Pyke right....oh.
I usually play it with ionia for the greenglade lookout to reduce the cost of my hydravine and viego. Twin discipline and death mark for control
Viego's actually a little more flexible than people give him credit for I feel. He works great in SI-focused archetypes, works really well with Ionia Deathmark gameplans, Freljord control, and one I haven't seen anyone mention is midrangey-control Viego Sion SI/Noxus. Haven't seen the Shurima ones though, but I can see how that might work well. All that said though, his level up animation leaves a lot to be desired... I recommend trying out that Sion Viego deck if you'd like a different change of pace, and Snnuy has a video on it, good day and take care!
Bricky : "paying money for literly just art "
me crys in artist
I can tell you what happend. They added irelia and all my decks got rolled by it
Now i play lurkers
yeah but they nerfed her so it's fine. The meta is quite diverse
@@pkojo now it is! But man that stretch of irelia really pisses me off lol
@@ezroid7791 totally agreed. I was so sick of telling the peepo what i've seen today
@@pkojo is that azir quote ? 😂😂
@@BadBiffle It's a twitch meme. One of his level up quotes is Tell the people what you have seen today. Hence peepo instead of people
I remember you praising LoR at the beginning, I never was into online card games, but this game hooked me, even though it was for a short while. I didn't play it for a long time and I wondered where it is now and luckilly, you got me covered. :D nice
Take a look at howling abyss. I made a deck with only removal spells and howling abyss. You just delete the opponents win conditions until you just start spamming lvl 2 champions. It doesnt work all the time, but if it does, its the funniest shit.
Ah yes, a meme deck.
Then he played Howling Abyss funniest shit I have ever seen
Make sure to get prismatic Howling Abyss get even more value :)
Niiiice. I made a fiora deck with a bunch of buffs, debuffs, and howoloing abyss, that way I have two win conditions, fiora, or the random lvl 2 champion i get. Its rly fun.
Don't forget high roll peak.
As an enjoyer of finer details, lore expansion, and lastly cards games. Your original video on LoR is not only what got me to drop Hearthstone after 5 years and switch over. But it also what got me to binge your channel in its entirety and watch every upload since. Thanks for giving justice to games that really don't recieve the credit where its due and keep doing great man. (Just a side note on the regions: Riot said they aren't doing any more regions; they're releasing those champions within the regions they're most relevant to)
Glad I finally find someone who feels the same about the recent level-up animation. I mean, while they look great, many of them doesn't have the same impact that old-style animations have.
I feel the same too. The new ones feel so overdone.
the same impact as the old ones? You ever seen teemo level up?
@@Forever-ec8tm lmao, that is an exception
Hope to see another one of these soon ^^
This is the best card game in my opinion. It has amazing graphics, music, depth and it's really free to play friendly unlike hearthstone and magic where you need to pay so much money just to create a few competitive meta decks in order to enjoy the game. Gwent is also really good but legends of runeterra is just the better and more fun to play game in my opinion. Give it a try.
Your video was what got me interested in trying LoR. I´ve not stopped ever since. Thanks
Braum/Soraka has been my guilty pleasure for the last month or two, can't say I regret what I've done
"Honey wake up, Ladrillito uploaded again"
Hey Bricky, been watching you since you made "So you want to main Yasuo". Its been a long time since Ive played LoL and when I stopped I kind of stopped watching your videos since then they were still focused around it. However, I later saw some of your game reviews/commentaries and I really fell back into watching your stuff. I've always loved your style of humor and your commentaries in general. So in other words, you're doing an amazing job and I along with your community are all grateful for it. Have a good one bud.
awesome video bricky!
“All the good of league without the league” I might just have to try it now
You should! It’s fun :)
You should. Its a whole new League experience but without the toxicity.
I really enjoy when you discuss anything about LOR
Viego is kind of lacking when it comes to lvl up etc. but god damn that card is so good xD Nothing is funnier than stealing the strongest enemy card and blasting your opponent with 7/7 Encroaching Mists.
Love that card so much
Getting lvld up viego from Aram without working for his lvl up and then stealing their strongest card is even more funnier.
Minimorph literally makes Viego unplayable. But gotta agree, Viego's Lvl2 ability is ridiculous.
@@brokeguy5607 I love minimorph and aloof, I made so many virgo and Sion players rage quit
did you guys ever face one yourself? sounds like you should have felt frustrated by him stealing YOUR card you worked to get on the field.
Fantastic video bricky! I love it!
The appreciation for LeBlanc’s voice acting

Very good content
God I can't wait for Bricky's video on Arcane.
Augment gang. Before it was all about viktor/zoe creation, but im finding that Nami was a fine addition, if you prefer creating spells constantly instead of followers. its fun watching viktor with every possible positive keyword also reach stats like 60/20
Viktor/Vi are pretty fun together too. Buff up a unit’s attack, then give it Overwhelm with Might, Zenith Blade, Lucky Finds, etc.
Plus generating a bunch of cheap cards helps level both Vi and Viktor at the same time.
"And the winner was from Poland" and then that face, I just broke. Can't escape Poland, Bricky, it has its sight on you X'D
I personally love the lvl up animations. I like to see the character leveling up more than the card itself. It feels glorious. Maybe because i grew up with Yu-Ghi-Oh!
My biggest issue is that they disabled the global server (cross-shard challange) so you can't play with other players outside your servsr region :(
I loved the 2v2 labs too and they retired it. The new labs is amazing too.
They said once they find the best solution they will implement a global server for the card game. And i do agree, the 2v2 lab was fun af
Your big legends of runeterra video from last year is still the best.
Also was fun to see stream the game just recently :)
I find it impressive how often I feel that the game is the best it's ever been.
Your old video made me try it and I still play it
12:24 I do hope they keep the multi-region thing exclusive to Bandlecity. It just makes sense thematically, as Bandlecity is everywhere and so are its units. ^^
Its 3:55 AM and I don't care cause I've got bricky.
I mean Viego needing isle's makes sense, he is THE RUINED KING tbf :p
7:08 that «stun stun stun» was super smooth and matched 1:1 with the background footage, loved that
Who’s gonna tell bricky that they’re not adding anymore regions, all the void and ixtali champs are gonna be added to already existing regions
Edit: I see I’m not the first to point that out
wait what?
The biggest confusion I get from this is that void isn't even a region (it's like calling ionia "vastaya")... It's "Icathia" which is where the void began spreading, and I kinda like it if riot isn't gonna make it a full fledge region, but they'll most likely gonna make them sort of a tribe and just slap most of the voidlings in shurima (like what they did to reksai) and maybe some scattered around runeterra (velkoz/khazix)
@@yuhan4469 just get ready for like Kassadin Demacia or some shit
@@phaus5815 shadow isles cho gath gonna chomp ya
@@nugking2021 the problem with kass (and kaisa) is that they're icathians who are influenced by the void, so I don't really know which region riot is gonna put them in (unless they do the same shit with ziggs being on shurima when he's clearly not)
I actually came back to this game because of your previous video and have been playing ever since.
Their free-to-play friendliness and deck flexibility are really the main selling points for me -- there's the allure of crafting these amazing deck ideas coupled with the fact that I *can* eventually create the necessary cards within 2-4 weeks of play.
Drinking game:
Take a shot every time brick has to mention Poland in gaming.
I was wishing for a follow up, but didn't even dream it would happen
I mean, you can play viego with ionia ephemeral units, or noxus ephemeral units, or with demacian challenger units, or with units that just have big power in general to try to flip him faster. You can also play him in control shells as a value engine like SI/Freljord and not really try to turbo level him, just slowly advancing his level up while he makes free pressure on the opponent over the course of the game. He's less 1 dimensional than you are making him out to be imo, but it's okay if you don't vibe with a few champions, there are so many of them!
New Bricky vid POG
I MISSED YOU SO MUCH BRICC
You got me into this game off your first video now I play almost every day.
Dad I missed you
IMO is fitting that Viego is basically Si only since he's a selfish king who would do anything, no matter how horrible he is to get what he wants, and sacrificing his own units to grow stronger is a good way to represent his selfishness.
Aside of that, great video, LOR is just getting better, I hope they don't lose this momentum and keep with this greatness in 2021
P.S: I don't mind the more cinematic Level up animations, I do think they could be shorter though, specially with ascended champions
LAMO, ty brick love it. The end was gold. Maybe some game play or even fan games in the future?
If you thought there was a limited way to build Veigo, lurk has entered the chat. Welcome to CTRL+F deckbuilding...
5:07
"the best champions...are where you can build a multitude of builds around them"
Oh god, he's gonna say reksai and pyke are bad champs isnt he....
seriously screw lurk being so bottlenecked
edit: wait what? he talks about how you NEED to build shadow isles with Viego and at least get to sprinkle in another faction for flavor. Then he glosses over how you NEED to build Bildgewater AND Shurima (EXCLUSIVELY!!!!) with a deck FULL of the lurkers from their respective regions or pyke/reksai/lurk will fall on their asses without the ability to consistantly hit lurkers and predictions...
Yeah, that was really weird. I actually think Viego is one of the mosre diverse champions, as he's only locked into one region. I've seen him being built with Freljord, SHurima, Noxus, Targon, PnZ... pretty much any region, really. Wheras Lurk, Deep, and Tahm Soraka are completely pre-built and locked decks.
Yeah, that was the only part of the review that made no sense to me
Also that he didn't talk about Lab of Legends
@@Danny-no7jp didnt even think of Tahm (i hurt myself eating again) Kench.
The release of Pyke was actually what got me back int LoR, now all I need is Jhin inside the game and Im happy enough.
I gotta agree with you about the new levelups. The older ones like Swain, Twisted Fate, and Lucian were short, punchy, and memorable, the newer ones are too much.
Viego actually has a ton of flexibility! He was released with the idea he'd go well with demacia and you'd have a dragons deck with him, because they ramp up into having such high damage.
But at various times he's been popular with shurima, freljord, and especially ionia.
I also personally really like his level up because it's fast- it gives him kind of a scarier vibe imo
Ironically lurk is much more closed, you have to build lurk decks with reksai and pyke, has to be shurima and bilgewater
Imo the Viego "problem" about the deckbuilding is not reeally a problem, card games usually tend to add center pieces that incentivate you to build around that specific card (mono colors in MTG, or "only paladin" and "no creature mage" in hearthstone). Having that option is always great for someone that REALLY loves a region. Shurima ascended is another example. I LOVE shurima, so having a deck DEDICATED around that makes my brain go happy chemicals, but I understand your point around card flexibility, Azir also goes well with Irelia so having both options is always best.
"card games usually" doesn't mean it isn't a problem, just means it's common (problem or not). The centerpiece is still present in Runeterra's other champions. Swain and Viktor (which Bricky discussed) are still very much the centerpieces of those decks.
Nothing wrong with enjoying that format though, just a different style :-D
@@brutalbeard9441 i mean yeah champions ARE the centerpiece of every deck, I was referring to leveling your champion. Deal non-combat damage, play created cards, summon units, these are more broad: every region can incorporate these mechanics.
@@VisanOfficial Yea, I think the problem comes from when only one region benefits from a mechanic. Boosting created cards work because it's a mechanic developed into most of the regions, flying/elusive works because landing a direct attack is rewarded in nearly every format.
Self sacrifice is a fun mechanic, but the flexibility is limited here because other regions don't have any benefit to a properly timed death. It's an easy fix, if it ever becomes considered an issue.
I think the problems with choice being substituted for a specific routine hurts the game harder elsewhere more-so than here :-)
@@brutalbeard9441 you make a very good point, and I hope to see both implemented in the future. I say this because the meta decks nowdays make good use of those broader level ups but it also, in my opinion, makes them less "thematic". Sejuani Gangplank isa good example, two champions that have nothing to do with eachother lorewise or gameplay-wise and they have the same conditions to level up? I find that a bit boring to be honest
I really liked and agreed with the whole thing
I think I have a good answer to your Viego conundrum: since Shadow Isles is the only region that benefits from tributing allies, well just play mono-shadow then. Thresh, Kalista, Kindred will all appreciate working with Viego, and if you really wanna mix region then Nasus works well too!
Nasus works so well with that especially since his stacking ability works off of slaying your own units. It's always funny playing with him and your opponent thinking they have the upper hand, and then plopping down a 15/15 with Spellshield.
I think the real issue is that he failed to see the value in being able to splash any other region into a Viego deck and still have it function just with a different flavor. Proof of point being his praise of "lurk" which needs both shurima and Bildgewater to work; drastically limiting what you can splash in if you like the mechanic.
my all time favorite LOR quote is "why isn't my loping telescope making more telescope's?"
Thank god for the Caitlyn deck. I've been experimenting and you've hit the nail on the head. Thank you
"It's so mediocre and lacks a lot of character" yep that about sums up Viego along with your take that the event was rushed.
Viego in a vacuum is cool, first they teased him for so long, only to subvert everything by making him an lovestruck maniac edgelord with control issues and the personality of a manipulator, with a pretty tragic backstory of a love not meant to be
Then you add the SoL event and the fact that he's just another pretty face in a cast of pretty faces and he becomes pretty meh, if the circumstances were not so bad Viego would've been a success
I mean in reality, Veigo is just a cry baby who wants his wife back. I am sure they could of pulled something up with a champion like morde, a real badass.
I disagree with his take here. Viego in LoR has several decks he works in. I'd level Bricky's mechanical complaints to Leona or Nocturne or even Pyke who he was praising before I'd say Viego had a forced deck.
Viego could have been so cool, the Ruined King as the boss of the invading shadow isles is such a cool concept, he could have been so great had he been more like Mordekaiser and less like every single K-pop boyband singer. Even just making his Recall Armor toggleable for normal gameplay would have made a huge difference.
@@osi3718 But Mordekaiser already exists. Viego is a crybaby who wants his wife back, yeah, that's the point. He's a spoiled, bratty narcissist who is throwing an extended tantrum over the loss of his wife, that's his character, and it's by no means bad. I mean, what is Mordekaiser? An evil warlord who conquers everything because he's an evil warlord?
Coming back to this video after watching it a month ago.
I started with the original release of runeterra and decided to give it a go again after your review.
And man am I over the moon about this game ever since!
Thank you
Had a weird game as a minion/spell buff Garen and Lux deck. Which is like the basic of basics. And my first match against a player ever was against a Fearsome/challenger Swain Elise deck. It wasn't a stomp out like other card games would have been. It was actually a very close back and forth where I survived the final push with 1 nexus health a won on the backswing. It was a fun experience as I didn't just straight up lose to power creep.
Sounds like you haven't played enough runeterra
4:20 sorry to disappoint, but it was declared that there won't be any more regions. However, new champions (also the ones not part of an existing region, such as voidborns) will be put in regions with the same theme, like Nocturne (lorewise demacian, themewise a spooky demon, hence Shadow Isles)
10:17 nonono u wrong. When u attack, if your top card has lurk ALL your lurk units get +1|0
That cursed Vaporeon answer
Honestly if you’re a fan of viktor, try throwing in Zoe instead
Pssh go Curious Sellfolk + Viktor. Profit.
@@augustoemmel4333 It's more effective, but way less fun. When a Viktor/Zoe deck gets going, it gets going *hard*.
Sure, it's some highroll fiesta, but the best kind of highroll fiesta.
Me, I run Viktor and nami, with the wavecaller. You just spam low cost created spells which end up seriously buffing whatever's on your board, and you can do this near infinitely.
doesnt matter if its better its still disgusting because you have to play zoe
@@jonnymaddy what’s so bad about Zoe?
Bricky: the Void may be the next major region
Me: I wish. Bandle City is the last region.
Kinda found it funny how you criticized Viego for being an autobuild but praised lurk next. I do agree about Lurk being a lot more creative and fun tho
I just saw your first video on LoR just yesterday. I’m going to be eating good today! Thank you for the content!
Great video. The only thing that bugs me is that you "complain" about the fact that Viego can only really fit into one deck (he's kinda limited I agree) but then use Lurk as a good point. Lurk is fun and has its place but it is one of if not the most limited deck from a deckbuilding perspective (next to Soraka I guess). You can't really use many cards without the Lurk keyword or your deck will be extremely inconsistent and there are not enough Lurk-cards for decks to be different. They all use more or less the same cards. The only real difference is if the deck is more Pyke or Rek'sai focused.
I always love watching your lor videos cause is my currently favorite game. I agree in everything you said in this video besides the viego champ release, I love those abs hehe. That last deck idea sounds so toxic and fun might give it a try.
I’ve actually started playing again recently. This is a crazy coincidence lol. I still have no idea what all the new cards do and most losses feel like BS but I’ve been having fun.
So Viego is actually more flexible then you give him credit for. The "Viego package" really only consists of 3 cards: Camovan Soldier, Invasive Hydravine, and Viego himself. That's 9 cards. After that you can put whatever the heck you want into the deck. Wanna put in Nasus and relive the good ole Thresh Nasus days? Go right ahead. Wanna do Ionia for protection? Sure do it. Wanna put the Viego package as your wincon for Freijord/SI Control? Honestly prolly better than most of the FTR decks running around.
Ah yes, the legend returns :3
Bricky: the next region will probably be the void which would be cool.
Me: oh you poor sweet summer child.
Good video, but really weird that you praised Lurk and thought that Viego was too railroaded to one deck. In reality, it's nearly the exact opposite. Viego has a ton of build diversity and fits in many decks, because you will pretty much always have units dying, and one of Viego's strengths is that he makes your opponent hesitate to kill your units on occasion. Viego is overall very solid.
By contrast, Lurk has exactly one deck. If you are not running almost entirely lurk cards, your deck becomes exponentially worse, because lurk only activates when the next card in your deck is a lurk card. This is one of the most unfortunate parts of Pyke's design; he's so cool and interesting as a champion and is translated exceedingly well, but he can only fit in one deck or he essentially becomes a 4 cost 2/3.
Really cool video though, glad you're talking about LoR!
(Also sorry about this, but the void is not coming. Bandle was the last region.)
also i think effects that rely on sth you shouldnt be able to know are stupid.
and you shouldnt be able to know if the next card is a lurk card if you dont use a card to look that up.
The sequel to a video that inspired me to pick up Lor. Goddamit Bricky
Loved this video. Although coming from hearthstone (and I can see where you’re coming from with Virgo and a lack of build diversity) some legendaries or champions shouldn’t fit into multiple things. If one good champion or legendary is good enough in multiple decks, it can make the meta quite repetitive and tedious when you have to go through grinding the ranked mode. The fun I get from card games comes from trying to make something that is clearly a dog turd of an idea into pure gold. Loved the catch up for rune terra tho, keep at it man
For the "Higher end" skins you propose, they could add skins to cards generated by that champion. For example, imagine that Pool Party Zoe generated Supercool Starcharts that instead of the original art, were water bombs or something like that, it would be really great
Bruh I just keep spamming Yasuo with Malphite and Leona. I don’t know why it’s fun, but at least it got me interested in reading all the cards xD
Too bad, Yasuo sucks ass
@@johnpauljonesisabadass8134 I’ll say it again. I don’t read the cards.

@@darkmega97 if god existed he wouldn't have allowed azir irelia to be the best deck in the game for 2 months. Checkmate Christians.
They heavily promoted bandle city as the final region and made a post about how future void champions will be assigned to the regions that make the most sense with them with Rek Sai being the first
Best card game Pog
Legends of Runeterra is probably deep within a lot of nerds pockets Mr brick I don't need to see the rest of the vid to know that.
THANK YOU for mentioning the level up animations becoming less and less creative and more having the feel of playing a card of or to a champion rather than the card actually being the champion. It's so much worse and so much less creative, it kind of doesn't matter what the animation plays because the end is always the same. Nautilus, Gangplank, Ashe... These were some of the greatest. Not because of the quality of Animation but of the thematic Implementation into the actual card game going on and making you feel like you play the champion and they themselves are leveling up - as champions and cards.
I’m sorry but I had a stroke reading this
The skin section of the video is the best suggestions on skins I’ve ever heard, I would love to see those changes
You always make amazing videos on the not triple a games everybody needs to know about !
Thank you for making another video on my favorite game!
i wish i could double like this video just for the vaporeon joke XD
Man thank you for talking about the card level ups, favorites are twisted fate and aurelion sol. They both show off the card in very cool ways and end with a nice card flourish aurelion sol literally flying into his card at rhe end and TF doing a card trick to then spin it to hit the ground. FEELS GREAT TO SEE I SWEAR
For anyone wondering, the phone-PC integration is really good, too. You can start a Path campaign on your home computer, save and exit, then continue on your phone really easily.
