out of curiosity, what would you expect from each game for a crossover event like that? we already share art and universe, so something like the current TFT event where we pay homage to some of their mechanics?

SB Kindred's 1 & 3* create Beast's Frenzy, so once you have at least their 1*, you have the amount of access to Beast's Frenzy that we intended. While this means you can't level them up at 0*, players spend so little time playing at 0* that we decided not to give weight to it when finalizing design

i was so ready to write this off as a random toxic gamer post until i read the username

how dare you, it goes in recycling at least

oh right, my hot take: where myst

those champs are more alluring for designers because they are more interesting problems to chew on; i don't think players actually like consistent FTK champs so much as they like quick rewards. also players are smart and would def break current Fiora w/ relics + even the weakest deck/powers

our eng team seems determined to prove that nothing is ever too complicated to fix and so far they've been proven right, but realistically it'll be hard to prioritize this anytime soon

we wanted this as well, but encountered technical difficulties as OG Kindred's marks are tangled up in being associated with that card's cardID. new kindred's mark system is more generic/robust, but we can't just slap that on old kindred freely.

daw appreciate it! sent this compliment to the chefs :D

yeah it's a rough anchor to break from. examples are in the realm of current expensive/long conditional outputs: ledros, watcher, warmother's call, etc. could also see it more like a planeswalker ult: units cost 1 for rest of game. huge power jumps but you still play it out

if you come at me about the american date format i will tell you that us in the states are not doin so hot right now so please just let us have this

oh yeah don't worry, we also don't want to ship boring stuff. we can tolerate one (1) OP space dragon but that's it

liking them as support champs highlights how the concept is really best in small doses: a rare dream that you occasionally pull off next to a more robust game plan

also balance would be extremely critical: too difficult and you won't even try for it, so the dream is completely lost. too easy and you're back to that one note feeling. that balance has to scale for all adventure difficulties

my issue with keeping the insta-win is that because the game ends the same way every time, you need to get all of the variety out of meeting the condition. otherwise every game will feel incredibly one note

1) same conditional, not an insta-win (but still exciting/powerful!)
2) harder conditional (scales with adventure difficulty), but insta-win
3) it's champ dependent (e.g. fiora should stay 4 kills, but ryze should stay destroy nexus)
4) abandon these designs and come up with something new

it's this xkcd for LoR designers xkcd.com/356/

The unlock process should happen when your inventory is fetched, try closing and reopening the app or playing a game and let me know if that unlocks them for you
