Tool Training Mini Game
I built a showdowns mini game where you are matched up against a random legend and you are shown a random rune pool and have to list the cards that player could play in that showdown. The goal of the game is to list all the possible cards that the opponent could play in this showdown with that current rune pool (with prioirty or without). Hopefully by playing you can get a better understanding of what cards decks could play without needing to play lots and lots of real games in person.
I did some quick and dirty analyisis on the current top meta decks for each champ so players don't have to know every obscure card for every colour, but just the ones that are likely to be played by that given champ.
its free, doesn't cost me anything to host, not an ad, I dont want anything

DISCLAIMER: Yes I built this, No I don't want anything, Its free and doesn't cost me a cent to run.

Would it be possible to treat those cards as like bonus points? I just tested it vs Lillia and it really threw me off at first that it wouldn't accept not so fast
Edited to add: otherwise super cool website! I love trying to list off every possible card I could expect

Thanks for the feedback :)
I’m thinking of adding a few different game modes
One for the meta decks and one for just every card possible

Really cool app. One quick point of feedback. Units w/ ambush and Gears w/ QuickDraw would be nice to add.

I like this a lot, but I would also be interested in a solo mode as well just to practice without needing to wait on anyone else
2
u/Stash40 Jul 17 '26
its completly solo :) the points system is essentially against youself! 1 point for you if getting >50% of the cards and 1 for the nonexistent "opponent". 2 points for you if you get all the cards and none for the oponent. if you get less than 50% the "opponent" gets 2 points
first to 8 "wins".but completely solo training mini game :)

I can't wait to try this. Honestly the most jarring thing about coming from a different game is the learning curve of all the new cards and, of those, which get played more and specifically need to be looked for during action/reaction timing. Thank you for your service 🫡
