That's Game! Podcast

And much more in this highly anticipated Legends of Runeterra patch wishlist.

Akshan replaced the entire metagame with its destiny draw of adding anything you want to your hand.

Worldwalker introduced Chimes which made midrange decks look like an afterthought and accomplishes what control decks want to do by the mid-game.

Forces from the Underworld and Kai'Sa were the final blow to Legends of Runeterra and the innovation of new concepts.

It started with Karma generating Health Potions in 2020.

Then it started to pick up speed with Invoke and The Great Beyond in Targon.

RNG reared its ugly head with the introduction of Bandle City and the keyword Manifest(ation) of Hearthstone's favorite keyword - Discover. 

With Evelynn and the introduction of Husks', Legends of Runeterra has finally suffered the same growing pains as their predecessors.

The time has come once again for the end of the season and it means that the monthly Legends of Runeterra Seasonal Tournament is coming up.

Decks and lineups have been theory crafted. Strategies planned.

However, this can be summed up with one statement - "You either Rally or you don't."

Experts were totally wrong when they predicted that Bard was the least strong champion from the Worldwalker expansion.

Jhin fell flat, Annie could only be played in a few decks, and Illaoi after trying so hard to become a new version of Pantheon Yuumi, has become a totally different beast on its own.

Thralls is now the undisputed best aggro/control/midrange/combo deck and with the Seasonal Tournament looming in the corner in two days, players are scrambling to figure out the best lineup to counter the threat of the Sands of Time.

The Seasonal Tournament's format changed from a two-week affair to two back-to-back days, which means older card game players like myself are instantly reminded of the sheer endurance and mental fortitude required to survive this ordeal.

The latest patch 3.6.0 has made the pool of viable meta options in Legends of Runeterra wider, new and older champions from the days of beta release are back and some changes made in prior patches have been reverted.

New cards are introduced to the game which felt a bit too late with Bandle City being the toolbox it is.

Riot Games is desperately trying to hold on to what it has with Legends of Runeterra which is in free fall.

The lessons I am going to share from the latest LOR Drama involving Swim and a female LOR player.

I recently watched Arcane and it was hands down one of the best-animated shows I've watched in recent memory.

And that made me come to a realization, what is Riot doing with LOR when you can just focus all your attention to making the best TV Series of all time?

After a year since Shurima's release, Azir is finally being played in the way it is supposed to be played - via the Emperor's Deck.

Tristana Swarm is still the best deck in the format despite the nerfs. Pantheon Yuumi, Riven Viktor and Targon's Peak dominate the metagame in Patch 3.4.0. 

Games now end as early as Turn 6. Does this signal the first time in LOR history that we are in a combo meta?

When the APAC region needed me most, I made my return.
