Is LoR still alive? I used to play it for a few years until I just got tired of CCGs in general, but the Arcane season 2 trailer made me all nostalgic again. Back then (before the Reddit exodus) it seemed like the game would be taken down anytime soon.

Yeah it is definitely still alive!

[–] maltasoron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Good to hear! Is it still fun to play?

I burned out because of the constant pressure from battle passes and meta changes, so a more stable meta might not be all that bad.

I play singleplayer (I LOVE the mini roguelike mode) and co-op for the most part so I can't speak to that authoritatively but take a look at the runeterra reddit, it is active and vibrant and it isn't full of complaints about the meta or anything.

I mean, I don't know active playercount stats or anything but there is clearly a solid community around it that genuinely loves the game (for very good reasons) and that is all that matters to me!

Thanks for the insight! StarCraft 2 is in a similar state (remaining healthy and fun despite the lack of developer support), so that's a good sign :)

It's in maintenance mode with further development mostly focused on expanding the single player mode last I checked. But yeah was a great game!

Thanks! I checked the website, and apparently Ranked is still active enough that the devs are putting effort into new cards, rotations and patches: https://playruneterra.com/en-us/news/game-updates/patch-5-10-notes/

Maybe I'll try it again before November. Too bad there isn't an active LoR community on Lemmy.

Huh really? Makes me kinda want to get back into it now. Kinda Itching to give mah Demacia Elites deck another drive :>

[–] maltasoron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Oh sorry, I misread the thing about new cards, but the rest holds up!

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

Too bad there isn't an active LoR community on Lemmy.

build it and they will come!

... tho maybe a generalist ccg/card battler lemmy would be a better place to start, I wonder if one of those exists yet.
