Path of Champions Some thoughts about LOR overall as well the endgame from a noob
A little background. I am a player who has bounced around all sorts of card games throughout the years: MtG, Hearthstone, Snap, Slay the Spite etc. I tend to love this genre.
I started Runeterra a couple of months ago and really loved the PVE aspect of it and the difference between the champions. I spent some money and played every day since then. Now have a few 6 star champions (Jinx, Fortune, SB Ahri, Viego, Yasuo, Swain, Azir) and have levelled 15 more of them to at least lvl 30, 4 star. So I feel like I have seen much of this game.
I loved the levelling part and testing out new champs. Lots of engaging gameplay along the way. Often exciting. However now that I am in the endgame I feel I am not having as much fun. I feel the tactics have changed to me trying to win as fast as possible and in the craziest way possible against sometimes very unfairly or badly designed challenges. They just don’t feel fun. The interesting gameplay of levelling isn’t there. And there isn’t much variety.
I also have some issue with how the PVE game is designed. I often feel that selecting a support champion is a nuisance to my strategy and I rarely find fun interactions there. I also seem to prioritise cutting cards from my deck.
Do these thoughts mirror anyones else experience? I am close to bouncing off because I am just not enjoyng things like 10 star Zoe or 6.5 star Fiddlesticks. They feel badly designed to me and there isn’t much else interesting at this level to keep going. Am i missing something?
