I Spent 10 Hours Playing Legends of Runeterra to Prove IT'S RIDICULOUS

we're gonna play 10 hours of runtera to see how good it is now I am gonna start off on a brand new account any other questions no awesome as someone who is mainly a Hearthstone player Legends of Frontera is the game that I see get compared to Hearthstone the most I don't know if it's because they're made from two major Studios but often this argument always comes up which game is better is Hearthstone a better game than runeterra let's find out these are your cards okay thank you champion this is Garen a champion okay how does runeterra a League of Legends card game have voice lines for their Champions but Pokemon can't put Pokemon voice lines and thoughts when I first started playing rotera I was slightly nervous this game is a lot more nuanced because of the back and forth nature that it has Hearthstone you just end your turn and then your opponent does something and honestly I love that about Hearthstone but this one is a lot more intense runeterra also takes a different approach on how the game is played a lot more back and forth happens even compared to a game like magic not gonna give her Tara ton of credits because the tutorial really does a good job just like in Hearthstone rotera has a passive Mana system each turn your Mana goes up by one to a cap of 10. additionally which I think is a very cool mechanic if you don't spend all of your mana on a turn a maximum of three Mana can be converted to spell Mana this means if you're a slower attack you're not necessarily just wasting your Mana because you can't play any cards players have 20 health and obviously the goal of the game just like in every other card game is to kill your opponent rotera does take a very interesting structure to turns rather than doing my turn and then your turn rotera basically has an offense or a defense decided by the attack token you could only issue an attack with your creatures if you have the attack token and this also means that players can play cards regardless if they're on attack or defense it's this constant game Loop of you do something then I do something and then I get to do something again it's kind of an interesting way of handling a card game you went first and summing Garen your opponent pass so you act again all right I will I will do this I will commit my attack he is gonna block me with Draven Draven blocking your attack which means it's your action again but you don't have any cards yet so tap okay to resolve the battle I will be tapping okay nice scaring truck a phone battle so you leveled up increasing his power and attack because you didn't know when you have no actions left it's time to time to ask if both players pass in a row the round is over and a new round begins he draws a card we both draw wait how come I drew a card on his turn though even as a voice line battle dude unlike Champions followers cannot level up Brahma level up when he has blocked an enemy dude best thing about runetera is these Level Up animations if I'm gonna be honest I freaking love this farmer said no thank you [Laughter] survive for one round without letting any poros Die free bro I don't even have to think here my man got full blocked and conceded he just couldn't handle it it takes a lot this game you have to be careful because if you don't win you lose oh oh my God thank God this game is Mana you know what I'm saying games without Mana suck all right I guess I'm playing a lease anyways it told me to feels good to stretch my legs would anyone else let Elise stretch your legs on you I don't know if that's family friendly this is a family-friendly stream talk about at least then you're spiderling if she summonses oh that's kind of nice I've seen a thousand spiders squished there is no way that's his Champion ability that's a miserable rate that has to be for the tutorial it has to be for the tutorial you still have one man of Spun all right get in the Champs oh you get it she's the spider that's funny oh this is what I call her in the bedroom Chad sorry what this is the best thing about runeterra is this thing oh and you get to do that so I play card they play card they don't have card I play another card and I did and I think they're dead that wasn't so bad now was it oh my God that'd be so much worse first balls are the fastest balls of the game they take effect immediately and don't count as taking an action it's important to know not taking action is good play defice oh my God divisive decisive action click to pass benevie's round up to three of your unspent Mana becomes spell Mana oh I could use this card now because we have the spell Mana oh yeah easy new deck hit him with puff caps that'll make Nar and his friends get big and scary demo okay thanks demo uh new modes available you could go to PVP or you can do PVE I'm not about the PBE right now let's go to this play any mode to earn rewards for your PVP collection after all the brightest lights starts as just the sparkly so inspiring so this is the introduction oh do I already get the deck oh nice I get this one too damn it's a lot of cards oh you can do not only does the runetera tutorial give you a ton of cards to play with but it also introduces you to all of the regions in the game each region has their own Champions and Tool kits that you could use because you could combine two regions to make a deck first up is bilgewater they're Pirates so they're all about the high risk High reward basically they're for the players who believe that the one piece is real demacia is basically the Paladin of runeterra they have good minions and they have some pretty good removal that's basically it brolyard is the Frozen region of rentera so basically they are the late game ramp deck that tries to stall out the game until they can played some big meatballs Ionia is basically the counter region they have really good counter spells basically it's fun to play the class but when you're going against it you'll probably hate it noxus is probably the most aggressive region they're all about just killing your opponent as fast as possible build over in Zan is the tech focused region with very strong spells and axes to burn damage the shadow aisles is all about death and control of the board they have a ton of different ways of manipulating their own units to gain some sort of an advantage sharima is basically damacia but if it was a little bit more interesting I really don't know how else to describe this region it's pretty cool pargon is probably the region that brings the most utility fatal city is a really nuanced region but it's mainly about yordles going wide and trying to kill you in a variety of different ways and there's also Champions that have their own specific region this is my official tier list of the Rune Terror regions this tier list is absolutely perfect there's nothing wrong with it if you play Ionia you can go [ __ ] the remainder of the runeterra tutorial is showcasing the regions through gameplay they give you a bunch of different decks to try out and most importantly it shows you a variety of archetypes and how they're actually played in runeterra no you know what dude I could block this pooro but I feel like that's a little beat I'm gonna let him go you know it's important he's he's lonely all right now he's not lonely now we kill him shines just and righteousness that was pretty sad oh my God minus 54. I am also a huge League of Legends fan I've been playing the game since season two and yes I do need therapy one of the coolest things about rotara is seeing how the champions of that game are translated over to a card game form and that was the reason why my favorite free deck to play was the darkness this uses the Champion's Veigar and Cena to make a really interesting slow combo deck and this deck also gives me a really good appreciation for the runeterra gameplay cycle because in a game like Hearthstone after you get all your combo pieces your opponent can't really do anything to stop you they just kind of die but in rotara because you do get the opportunity to react to your opponent doing a combo it doesn't feel nearly as bad when you lose to it I think what this game does really well it kind of gives you a wide breadth of how to play the game like it gives you so many different options to try which like architect you enjoy playing which is really nice to have because I think when you first start playing a card game it's really hard to tell what decks you're actually gonna like in a card game arson also did that with the battle Ready Decks that you get you get like one for every class it's actually like a really nice thing to do and I'm sure they learned that from runtera same as magic yeah yeah Hearthstone does not have and I can't believe it they don't have patch notes like in the game they have like a pop-up that comes up that says like oh these cards were Nerf but it's not like this oh my God they show you the full art and everything can I click on these damn it is time for my hardest challenge yet beating a real player in runeterra let's win this first game of casual if they not only get my confidence up but to show these clowns I know how to play this game if I want this I'm not going to keep bagger in my opening hand right could be wrong though could be wrong I'm summoned girl at the top two Alice your necklace the game [Music] I just realized his head's in like a light bulb that's why his like voice was so muffled do I care about this it's for this round right so I'm just taking one free damage for no reason oh wait what this guy's [ __ ] massive Badger bear this seems a little broken I guess we're passing then that thing's huge man I know it's supposed to be a three out of four four oh no they were definitely playing those oh we're just gonna pass so I could kill this thing right I'm gonna do this into this into another one it's just very slow but no I can't right because I only does two oh my God my ducks though but I do want to play this before I play this right and I don't I can't play this is turn so I mean there's still levels up my Vega anyways right I should have kept badger in my hand probably okay I mean I'm still doing the two right they've got a ghost originality plus two plus two oh yeah it's a bit concerning he blocks with this I'm happy if you block I mean if you've lost any of it I'm happy right they've got a ghost ease stop man I really shouldn't oh God that is not good man um you really should have kept vagar in my uh my opening hand it's been very irrelevant here look at the straight augment is when you play credit card so I can actually use this right now to buff this to kill him so I get to kill him oh wait pie toss is not created though right I feel like we have to kill this right so this does six to me and then I get the four back I can even block this if I want to but there's not really a reason to do it right because then um actually I shouldn't do that right wait should I do this I'm in it no no I can murder something this is fast at least that's important to know okay so let's do this wait actually I'm gonna break the [ __ ] out of this guy I'm not gonna worry about it this is actually so free I take it back what is up legally and not a lot of the place Falls here what is this what is that I oh my God chill what the [ __ ] wait what did I Hold On wait does he get the overwhelm off this no actually I mean I can gotta I'm gonna kind of bad on this right was that English I don't know we can do this drain him give him the old suck we suck him that's a tad bit annoying I should probably kill this right now so we can't challenge this also Buffs this so if he Swings with one of these this kills I know it's at his hand so he can he gets stance changed probably something here but I blocked the other one this is slow so you can't use this in battle right all right this doesn't give everyone wrong this is what he's got he's getting plus two plus two here okay Vanguard something that gives me a Darkness give me the darkness yes yes that's the one oh this becomes fast which means I should fully attack on this right now right block this but this is quick attack when [ __ ] the strikes for the blocker so what is this a battling Ally strikes all battling enemies are you blowing me sideways there's no shot that was ex that was just very bad you knew this though we just played this next term we got another Santa I want to keep my spell Mana then right he's top Decker we're chilling we're chilling we got we got stuff when I'm someone created a swamp stance in hand the first time he's playing zero okay gamer all right whatever you say buddy actually I kill this thing right I kill him I kill him I kill him like him that's fine we're fine we're fine we're fine we're fine we're fine because he he plays this oh no he gets the Ally thing first he should buff the five five here right yeah I agree so we can kill this agree if he swings me block with this seven gives us another one up here you don't really need the retailer anymore all right when you play a created spell copy it with the same targets I see actually in hindsight I should I should have swung first actually no this is fine oh wait real last attack no okay we don't want this one he blocks at the one one here but we get a Darkness right because if you block to this this dies because we have quick attack but you're trolling am I missing something murder this thing double Darkness shittiest Challenger so he's gonna post setup or not this block okay all right this is performing he misses the swing oh yeah all right we can murder this I guess we might as well [Music] all right I need a bag I've got I'm gladly don't think here but I'm starting to create a darkness in hand if you don't have one I don't really need to do that well hold on actually depending on what he plays right he doesn't get lethal here you've damaged the enemy Nexus around oh it's the shaman we saw this guy earlier okay so we want to do this into this uh we do this oh he has any cards to play right let's do this Commit This he blocks something but then we kill it with the darkness and then he just loses I think this guy wants to concede so bad look at these I think he's just not I don't know why all right well I guess we win foreign told you guys I'm a gamer and I got a new deck that's pretty much what the new player experience was because I did end up playing Ventura last year I decided to do my rank Journey on my actual main account and also buy my very first Champion which is volley bear right here dude the way I get all these cards with it which is probably fine like I just feel like that's the probably the best option right so let's spend some money for this game they told me congrats Chad they're like wow dude you spent money on our game you [ __ ] devilish bastard thanks congratulations you've joined a rare elite status of people who actually spend money Ledger and tears most players never reach that lofty height you [ __ ] what yeah [Music] pull the poggers Jesus man I spent the rest of the day playing this volley bear irelian Soul deck and ranked and I didn't lose a single game ending the day at iron 350 LP and for the record this is the absolute lowest rank in runetera but I'm not gonna let you take that away from me I was feeling really good I'm gonna stop here there's a good chance by the way I will play this off stream so I will be counting it towards my uh my time here let me give you my thoughts I actually really like rinterra last time when I played it last year I really liked it it was a very very fun game I genuinely see myself playing this more often uh we're at six hours and 30 minutes because over the past day I played runeterra for three hours and 40 minutes on my phone which is uh I want to say a lot I was able to climb to Silver too what I do like about runeterra quite a bit comparatively to every other game that I played is the fact that it's based in League of Legends I really like seeing the interaction between the character voice lines I think that's a really nice feature that like characters talk to each other I also want to say that like the art in this game is very nice but here's the fundamental problem with runetera dude here's the problem this is why I think the game isn't as successful as it probably could have been it's because of this button right here the problem with this button I didn't realize this until I really played on my mobile device I don't know why I say mobile device the problem is is that you have to stay engaged with this game literally like every 10 seconds you have to pay attention and I know that sounds like a really stupid complaint one of the reasons I like to play games on my phone is because I don't have to give it my full attention all the time and with runtera more than like magic Pokemon any other game I played so far this button it like seeks attention because you have to keep saying like oh I'm good like see you see like so they play a card and then you gotta pass it back or you gotta play a card which is great in the fact that rooterra plays like that because no other card game actually plays like this but I could see why people wouldn't want to play runetera as often as other card games because this one is so much more I don't want to call it intrusive but you have to be like ready to hit this button quite frequently I've never played a card game that basically demanded that you interact with the button so often nice thing about Hearthstone you have the ability to kind of like pass if you don't want to play you you could say you could activate Auto pass but it actually kind of gives you like a it gives your opponent some knowledge if they're paying attention because if you have the auto pass and it immediately passes over your opponent's like oh he actually had nothing to do it's a pro and con for sure but I think that's like the fundamental problem that Rune Tara has it's really interesting I see you never had to react to this stack of 50 things in Magic no but I feel magic if you're stacking 50 things it doesn't happen every single game right where in runetera every single game you have to be interacting with that button and it's a lot of back and forth and again it's not like it's horrible design but I feel like that is what's causing people from not being as interested into runetera that's basically it I have played a lot I said yesterday I played for like basically four hours so the game is good the more I play this game the more I realize that Hearthstone needs a lot of these features the leaderboard thing oh my God the fact that you can see what people are playing I love that feature you can see what people are playing like it doesn't matter like top 100 so you get an idea all right so the goal today is to get gold I ended up changing my deck slightly from volley Bearer and aurelian Seoul to volley bear and galio this deck played a little bit more mid-range and I was a huge fan of it first game went against action and Samira this is an aggro deck and believe me we got aggro down well hold on a second we can cook we can cook I'm alive oh no uh it is what it is he ain't losing the first game of the day you know the next game we went against Teemo and Yumi and if you know anything about Yumi you knew I had to win this so I decided to be the aggressor this game and it was over pretty quickly it's just it's just that easy kids it's just that easy I just listen it's just that simple just to be better what I realized why runeterra has the most backseaters out of any other game is because of what I was explaining earlier with the button because each time the button goes back to you it's a chance for you to misplay the more often you you have the opportunity to misplay the more chat is gonna backseat you to tell you that you misplayed or what you should have done instead if great the next game ended up being a mirror match and it was actually a really intense game a lot of back and forth but we ended up winning because oh my god there he is there's that cutie I'm definitely playing him first this is popping more pop and we're popping oh yeah it's GG oh it's GG oh it's so [ __ ] over bro you're just full swing we're getting gold today they're getting gold it's happening oh yeah it's happening and then immediately after I lost back down to Silver two Iran certified back seat here only got here just now but wanted to let you know that you're doing everything wrong and that every play you make is terrible and it's causing me physical pain holy [ __ ] is it that bad luckily for me I won the next couple of games getting one game away from my goal of hitting gold I'll take this damage I don't give a [ __ ] Packers like what are you talking about here buddy all right I was gonna play volley bear but it's not really necessary isn't it ah damn that's sick that's so cool that rash is really interesting let's play this thing dude Molly bear is so good it's cards like if this gets played it's GG okay this might be gold everyone get ready to pog I see it happening this main secret card wouldn't be the game the blocking mechanic in runeterra makes makes um tech cards so much better come on it's that easy kids it's that easy if I could do it you can do it I spent the rest of the 10 hours playing the same deck and I got all the way up to gold too so I'm pretty good at this game I can play another game but what the [ __ ] the point we're basically here at 10 hours ago this game's really good out of all the card games I have played I think this is the one I probably like the most not only because I uh I do enjoy the card game but I am like I'm kind of like a league Legends guy because I've been playing the game since season two my only issue with this game is the the amount of times you have to pay attention to the game and I know that sounds like a really stupid complaint but I explained at the start of the stream I think the reason why this game is not more successful is because you have to keep hitting the button I thought I would do a little bit of an update after the post 10 hours section of this video I am actually still playing runetera because I think the game is pretty great uh currently I am Platinum three which I think in about under a week is pretty good I've also been playing a lot so you know I'm addicted uh but I wanted to Showcase something that I believe is one of the best features about this game that I'm not a aware of in any other card game especially Hearthstone and that is the weekly Vault system by playing the game and doing Quest you basically accumulate those points into a weekly Vault and every Thursday you could open up this Vault to get a crop ton of cards there's no like crafting in this game so they use Champion wild cards but look at dude like it's it's infinite stuff like they give you so much stuff while I open this I'm just going to generally talk about how uh My overall feelings about return versus Hearthstone I think overall both the games are trying to do different things rootero took a lot more inspiration from the way that magic the Gathering plays where Hearthstone took more of the fundamentals for Magic the Gathering and made them easier to understand and also there's no interaction on your opponent's turn both of these enable the player to have a different experience you're into something that's a little bit more nuanced and engaging I would recommend rooterra quite a bit especially if you are a league Legends fan if you're looking for something a little bit more casual where if you end your turn you don't have to think about what your opponent's doing Hearthstone is definitely the game for you both of them have a great user experience both of them have done a really good job with animations in art honestly both of these games are fantastic and it kind of blows my mind that runeterra is not a more popular game what I explained earlier in the video about constantly pressing that button is definitely one of the downfalls I also think because they're trying to get League of Legends players to try out card games and this one is a little bit more convoluted than other card games it might be a tough sell for those players to try out A League of Legends card game but overall I really like this game I think it's really good I actually kind of want to make more content on this game so if you ended up liking it please like the video and subscribe and I'll see you guys in the next one thank you so much for watching
