Anyone have an idea what ranks the top ranked players are currently? I'm guessing like high plat or diamond, but afaik there's no leaderboard posted yet.
Ah, thanks. And it looks like I'll be 11/12...the vault has a countdown timer on it now... looks like it will reset at 3:15am PST (aka a little over 23 hours from this post.)
Well I've been having the worst luck with Matchups and intial deck rolls. Is a Demacia-Noxus deck just not viable?
Also it seems like everyone I lose against has a "Gimmick" of sorts going for them that they tripled down on - Particularly flooding their deck with Recall or Barrier cards and having them be a Hard-Counter to basically everything my D/N deck can throw at them. Should I be following their lead and maximizing the amount of LOLNO cards in my deck?
I've been playing a similar list that I worked on in the closed beta periods and if the oracle sight thing didn't exist, I'd be lost lol. I can't tell you how many unexpecting players don't use that thing and are shocked when they take 50 dmg in 1 attack phaseI've been playing swim's Braum/Vlad midrange deck, and let me tell you, that is the most complex deck I think I've ever played in any card game. Every combat is a massive puzzle of trying to maximize damage.

Can I cheese the vault with PvE surrenders if I don't have the time to do it properly ?
Yes, but after about 10 defeats it wills stop giving you XP til the next day.Can I cheese the vault with PvE surrenders if I don't have the time to do it properly ?
When did you start? The first twenty matches I think I lost every one. It'll all come together for you eventually and you'll begin to stomp people back.Man I suck at this game. I've been getting whopped every match
Logically, if they have a perfect match making set up, you should only be winning about half of your matches in general o.o;It's obviously got some pretty glaring flaws in it, only winning about half my matches with it.
I suck at drafting. Is there a resource that can help? Even after memorizing like every card in the hearthstone base game I still couldn't figure it out there either.
so thats Trial 1. that second loss was a Heim teemo build. he didn't attack me once my deck was seeded, and i died to a shroom
i had 8 hp, and died on my the moment i drew a card

Offensive gg emoters are the worse, but situations like this where you can stuff their shit back in their face feel so satisfying.Got a great moment yesterday in a game. I had my levelup Tryndamere + 1/1 health followers, I can't remember how many. The point is I had to put everything to block his attack and I would lose everything including Tryndamere due to a quick attack. He even used the Braum (goodbye/hello) emoji for BM.
Except... I had judgement, ended up cleaning the board. Then he used the crying Poro emoji.
Obviously, next round I opened with attack and won, lol.

Ahh, just like real League.
In simplest terms for drafting in a CCG you want the most value out of every card rather than going for a strong strategy off the bat. As the game develops there will definitely be strong strategies but it's early on and keeping it simple should work. So for example a minion with great stats that has simple positives like healing or adding +1/+1 would be a better value than something with tons of spider synergy because you may not draft any other spider cards. Then there are just cards that are almost always good like high damage or removal cards and champions with easy quests to fulfill.I suck at drafting. Is there a resource that can help?

I'd recommend just watching some good players do it sometime.I suck at drafting. Is there a resource that can help? Even after memorizing like every card in the hearthstone base game I still couldn't figure it out there either.
oh my god, fuck teemo
i had 8 hp, and died on my the moment i drew a card
my teemo got really lucky with his draws, and i didn't get enough challengers in time.Yesterday I played against a mushroom deck. As soon as I saw that he used Puffcap Peddler, I made sure to shut that shit down as fast as possible, ended up taking down 2 of the puffcap peddler's (he still had one in the board). But I also always had at least 2 challenger units on my board to kill Teemo if he dared to summon him.
While I could have taken the remaining Puffcap Peddler with one of the challenger units, I didn't want to lose one and be left with a single challenger unit on the board. I really didn't want to risk him summoning Teemo and using a card to recall/kill the last challenger unit.
I started on Saturday. Played all the tutorials and copied some deck I found online and used my cards as best as I could to match lolWhen did you start? The first twenty matches I think I lost every one. It'll all come together for you eventually and you'll begin to stomp people back.
And I was watching Zetalot this morning and Shadow Isles is no joke.
Wahts the Oracle? lol I haven't seent any mention of it in game. Haven't caught any streams either which I'll probably do later tonight.The game is incredibly complex, more so than most card games I've played. There's an insane amount of depth in combat that takes a bit to wrap your head around, but then once you do, it sort of clicks.
On another note: are you using the Oracle? If not, make sure and use it OFTEN. It's probably the most powerful tool at your disposal on any given turn, especially turns 5-9.
The first three? Yeah that sounds about right. Hang in there, you'll get it.I started on Saturday. Played all the tutorials and copied some deck I found online and used my cards as best as I could to match lol
Played 3 matches against people and I just got destroyed.

The Oracle is the little eye to the left of the field whenever you're attacking. When it's your action, you can mouse over it and it'll show you the results of all of the combat. Whenever an ability is added to the chain of spells, then you can also see how the battlefield will look after those resolve. It's SUPER helpful.
Holy shit. Can't wait to try it out in my next matches when I get home. Thank you both!The first three? Yeah that sounds about right. Hang in there, you'll get it.
And the Oracle is the eye in between the Nexus.
I made a deck a few days ago for a daily of shadow isles and piltover & zaun which i've been slowly tweeking.The deck I'm working on is some kind of Noxus Demacia Rally Car racing insanity. I need to get more lucian's and kat's for it to work , but I think its gonna be disgusting with the Demacian 2/2 that gets +2+2 every time he attacks. Also, attacking someone twice on their round really messes with people's plans :D
Maybe the most satisfying thing I've discovered is that Single Combat or any other fast way to kill your own unit completely counters Augmented Experimenter.
