Riot Games analyzes the current state of the beta and points to the news that will come later, as well as the errors to correct.
The new production of Riot Games recently came out in beta for PC, although the launch on iOS and Android is still planned for the future. Legends of Runeterra developers have released a statement reflecting on the current state of the beta, while outlining their plans for the future. The team will focus on allowing players to express themselves through the video game, which means that new cosmetic lines, boards and pets will be added. The most important thing, however, are the news that had not yet been communicated: the modes and formats.
According to Riot Games, an essential point of card games is that there are many ways to play. They acknowledge that many of their preferred ways have been created by the community. And they add: "We are convinced that our game will shine when a lot of cards manages to be present in a variety of modes just as big." According to the company, they are excited to "be able to start that path this year", although they do not delve into the unprecedented ways that lie ahead.

What are they working on?
The company has made clear other aspects that are being touched. The quality through the texts of the letters or the record of actions are in the minds of the developers. The interface and deck composition will also be improved.
On the other hand, Riot has promised to adjust the timer for spell bursts, as well as adjust the framerate rate. “This is a feature that we didn't value correctly in its day, and this is the kind of feedback that we love receiving in the open beta. We have added several FPS options in version 0.9.0, so now the splendor of the animations will better illuminate players from anywhere. ” They will continue to delve into the speed of the animations and the blocking time.
Regarding the metagame, they point the following:
-
That there are no bad cards, so that a modest initial card set can give rise to a large number of interesting decks.
-
Monthly card updates that allow developers to take care of the state of the metagame (trying to keep it healthy and keep it amazing) between one set and the next.
-
New cards and content that exponentially expand the possibilities of the game and deck composition.
Progression is another crucial aspect of the gaming experience. According to Riot Games, the collections present a good percentage of growth, but it is not the only measurement to determine the success, since the most important thing is how much it costs to the players to fulfill the objectives in the short term.
Many users did not like the experiments because the wildcards seem to have too much value and it is difficult to predict when they will receive more. "Instead of experimentation, what we are seeing is accumulation, without a doubt the least fun that can be done (and that, in some way, is counterproductive in the face of the progression that you would obtain if you used them). Before launch, our purpose is to make updates to the progression system to increase predictability and thus encourage the use of wildcards. ”
The main objective with Legends of Runeterra is that the video game is open to all types of players. They work to make it more accessible and for "everyone feels they have a wide range of options."
