Super happy about the responsiveness of the designers to manage unhealthy game states.
My takes in the comments
Still finalizing announcement for Fri, but since we know many are trying to figure out how to prepare for upcoming tournaments, we wanted to let you all know that any bans we make will be EFFECTIVE MON NOV 23rd, and will not impact events happening between now and then.

The bans are coming for good, and I do hope it will push the game in a fun new direction.
And Legacy to give out some support to current mechanics: there are so many completely unusable cards right now it doesn't even feel right to buy sealed products.

Legends with unique play patterns, that demand high deckbuilding skills should be rewarded, while generic ones should receive a hit. That's what I would love at least. PG YI shouldn't exist, Annie shouldn't exist, Draven Legend shouldn't have existed in a FoF + Switcheroo meta.

4c Draven was banned for the high pressure it created when played on curve, the same will happen to 4c Riven probably, but instead of banning Nocturnes and Rhasas (high ends), the call was to ban the champ. Why?

I would actually like to see Heron banned as it enables deckbuilding patters that exploit a very small subset of cards. Riven should have been a tap/untap deck (animation canceling), while Akali should have done ins/outs thanks to her high mobility

I love thematically accurate cards with the main game, eg. Zhonya could protect from a single source of damage, or from a single combat. The hidden mechanic allows for agency on "when to press the stasis button", but it currently creates crazy interactions with Heron.

RT @Chefs_Formula: Day 1 recap for #RCStuttgart
2 qualified, 2 in Day 2: 100% conversion
@DonCapucinoTCG 4-2 best Irelia (no metal, sadge)…

Open decklists mean we know the field before round 1, and we have another hot take for this big tournament.
Disagree? Tell us why!
From our team, @DonCapucinoTCG is on Irelia and @drinknerd88 on Nasus. Good luck to whoever faces them.

Start testing with 3c riven folks, the deck is getting the draven treatment
Riven's blade is showing its strength heading into the #RCEU? 🇩🇪
Will it be the favorite or the field in Stuttgart?

In cybersec there are two important concepts: policies and mechanisms.
The policy defines WHAT should be done (and inherently WHY), while the mechanism is the HOW the policy gets carried out.
Riot knows WHATs and WHYs for bundles, but HOW is this enforced?

This is my current list post RQ Las Vegas.
I took some inspiration from @XenoLeague , cutting the Find Your Center trying Pyke instead.
I’m really liking it so far, but it still needs some refining.
Going second,slamming Pyke onto the board feels good.
Seems like the Yi matchup is getting worse.
Also trying out a Switcheroo and moving Twilight Shroud to the sideboard.
Let me know what you think in the comments!
