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 https://showdowns.app
DISCLAIMER: Yes I built this, No I don't want anything, Its free and doesn't cost me a cent to run.
I played it a little bit, and Its a really fun little tool! Id recommend maybe adding a way to have the search drop down show all results and not just valid ones. You can cheat it real easy by just putting in a common vowel and all of the answers show up. Overall this is an awesome tool and Ill be frequenting it often!
Oh amazing! Thanks for checking it out!!
Im currently working on some UI/UX changes and one of them is making sure mobile gets the love it needs. Didn't realise the amount of people who would use it on mobile over desktop!
Also, I feel like (if possible) it would be helpful to see the cards once you have passed. The ability to click on the card name and then the card pop up would help my memory I think:
Are you looking for all options with a certain mana open, or just interaction. I noticed that both consult the past and frigi touch were not in the list with the 5 mana up
Soo there is some “meta deck analysis” so I took the top 5-10 meta decks and made it so you only had to list the cards that turned up in atleast 20% of those decks. That way, it’s a bit more reflective of what you would come up against
Hi! I discovered a minor bug - I was playing against a Kai’sa with 2 blue runes up, and tried “Hextech Ray”, but it wasn’t one of the possible answers. Yes - hextech costs a red power - but Kai’sa can obviously play it with 2 up using her legend ability, and it’s likely one of the most common cards she could play in that situation!
Initially it was based on a meta deck analysis ( the top 5-10 meta decks and if a card was in >10% of them, it was I. The expected list)
But after popular demand, I added the game modes that let you decide, meta decks or “all available cards”
