I love LoR but now it's dead

[kakowin @kakowin]

@CaptSarahRed I get it. is annoying. however as a chrono player and ex lor player I remember being angry at riot for not advertising and now I'm glad that chrono at least tries it best.

I'm sorry for you. maybe you can reach to vivo. or maybe some weird adblocker setup would work? idk

Bought myself a new drawing tablet. I'll start posting some drawings beggining with this Furudo Erika.

@asdfgh200218 For social media pretty sure they only have a pixiv fanbox account and a website:

If only 模造クリスタル had twitter

[kakowin @kakowin]

Unraleted to any drama is currently happening on twitter, lately I've been wanting to make a cardgame.

やったー！！！！！！！！

Back in the day I made a playlist that had youtube people trying seasonals, it was fun watching someone new try competitive. Later, I tried to add more videos to this playlist but I couldn't find many new people putting out content so I stopped. I'll miss you LoR.

After 7 years on LoR I've been laid off, effective in 2 months.

It's certainly a deeply sad time, but the pain of these emotions derive from all the awesome experiences we've created within this community.

Thanks for always believing in me, goodbye Runeterra!

Riot when their supposedly thriving poc community disappears overnight after the competitive players delete their cross shard smurfs that only played poc to boost their collection

[kakowin @kakowin]

@JasonFleurant already more marketing than whatever LoR did

[kakowin @kakowin]

Focus on PvE? Massive Layoffs? What are you talking about? Come on we gotta go watch majiin win fight night

[kakowin @kakowin]

@JasonFleurant Will you advertise the game? Mention when there is a tournament going on (like tweet about worlds or something)? Have crossshard? Have some draft mode? I don't know, seems tough to try to succeed in this space.

[kakowin @kakowin]

Man I feel like I lost my point these last paragraphs. Usually when I write a post like this I leave it as a draft and delete later. I did delete that one I made while I had a fever about certain dev that made a reddit post about "Play Patterns"

[kakowin @kakowin]

Then watched the seasonals expecting the top 3 decks (azirelia, thresh nasus, and TLC) to win. But duckling came out of nowhere with Matron Cithria, Teemo Ezreal and TF Fizz and took the whole thing. Things like that made me invested in LoR.

[kakowin @kakowin]

I got into competitive because I saw FilthyGamerWeeb win three Fight Nights in a row with the nerfed and unpopular TF Fizz on Azir Irelia meta. So I took his deck and grinded ladder, tried seasonals and didn't make it.

[kakowin @kakowin]

Because I was that casual player, I played mostly expeditions until I got to the expedition limit for the week then played some trashy brews on ladder for fun. I even wrote a dumb post on reddit about how my Viktor Fizz brew was as good as the then tier 1 TF Fizz.

[kakowin @kakowin]

Is discouraging knowing that probably won't be a balance patch because we can't mess up the open.

Personally I did also skip eternal. I couldn't stand to play as or against timelines and they took so long to nerf it that I never tried the mode again.

[kakowin @kakowin]

I think the way to make more casual players interested in PvP so they either participate or watch the tourneys is to have a game where players can show some expresion by making some brews or play their tier 3 deck and not being so far behind everyone else that they stop trying.

[kakowin @kakowin]

While you could deal with the top deck in some way in best of 3 (most of the time) it made playing the first month of the ladder season really boring. I would often stop plating a few days after release, come back for opens and really play after balance patches.

[kakowin @kakowin]

Also the balance patches got a standard cadence were we would release the set and have competitive season in it. Often the set would have some strong card that would warp the meta arround them and the balance patch would only come after one month

[kakowin @kakowin]

Instead we got like two modes: freebuild that was kinda solved fast and we did have some gauntlets with only foundations cards that really wasn't exiting to me. Why would i care about playing with the most vanilla set the game has, Oh boy I can't wait to deckbuild with Garen.
