After I spent a couple of months absolutely addicted to Marvel Snap, once that phase wore off, I decided that I might actually like Card games, so I wondered how I would feel about LoR now.

And so I reinstalled after not playing for a couple of years and I was greeted by all of my decks not being part of the "Standard" format now, bummer, thats not a very nice thing to return to. However, as I was making my way to the uninstall button, the Path of Champions roguelite game mode caught my eye, and it was an absolute game changer, it fucking did wonders to make this game live rent free in my head while offering me at the same time a nice way of gathering resources to craft a deck so I could hit the PvP modes again.

Legends of Runeterra is the best way to experience the Runeterra IP without the overwhelming pain of playing League of Legends, now I'm sure thats something you've heard once or twice, but it wouldnt be a common saying if it wasnt absolutely true. This game just feels good to play, you have a lot of control on the things that happen throughout the games, the champions spice things up in very fun ways, the art and animations are fantastic and have gotten better over time, the voice acting is as good as it is on League, and it's remarkably generous compared to other card games in the market.

All in all, I don't think I can sing enough praises for this game, and if you have drifted away from League like I did, but still enjoy its ever growing IP (because I'm extremely sure that if you played League, at some point you watched and loved Arcane as well), I highly encourage you to give this one a shot, if not for the PvP, do it for the PvE Roguelite mode.

If you found my review after the recent news, I just wanted to let you know that I'm in fact not okay and that it hurts to be a fan of this game right now
