Ive been using quarantine to play through some classics id never gotten around to (Suikoden, Persona4G, FFVI, and a few others) and as a huge Xenoblade fan, i want to give these older games a go as well.

But im undecided on whether to start with the slightly older Gears, which i constantly hear good things about, or go for margjnally more modern Saga (which i dont hear bad things about, but which isnt talked about as much)

Which games do you recommend playing first?

As the title says. Anybody who has seen or played, any characters that we havent had before who are playable now (other than the main four on C's route, and possibly Wald)?

Alternatively, any throwback characters that we didnt EXPECT to see make a return?

Simple as the title. Do yall recommend that I play CS3 now, and then wait, or wait first and play the two back to back? I'm on PC, so I'm looking at about a 10 month wait I'd expect

As of a VERY lucky draw on expedition rewards this morning handing me my last 3 champion cards, I've officially hit the point of a complete set (3 of every card in the game).

In fairness, I've playing since only three or four weeks into the open beta, and usually manage to get vault to at least level 10, and usually 13. But I also havent been an expedition god, averaging maybe 2 or 3 wins on claim. I havent ever gotten more than maybe plus one bonus capsule at the end of each week. And most importantly, I've never had to spend a single cent.

Im sitting on still about 45k shards, 60+ common wildcards (none of the others).

Cant stress enough how much I feel like Riot deserves kudos for maki

Did first expedition this morning and immediately retired it, shocked to get two champs in the epic capsule.

Then did second expedition, with a leftover token, retired, and got another champion! Something felt off about the whole thing so I rolled another expedition with shards, even though I I doing that with current reward structure, and sure enough, I got ANOTHER champion.

Either 4 champions over 3 expeditions is some weird luck, or rewards were boosted or something this morning. Anyone have similar experience?

Based on folks impressions so far, how would you rank the squadmates?

Who are the optimal starting four? Which characters are most, or least, useful later in the game?

One of the most important things for a fun game is the ability to make choices, and to feel like the choices that you make have a meaningful impact on the outcome of the game.

In Runeterra, we get a lot of great choices - aside from just "what to spend mana on", or "who to block with" the interactive turns create a question of "when to spend" that feels very unique.

Nevertheless, we also see a lot of complaints, especially on this forum. A lot of them come down to the feeling that in some cases, every choice feels like the wrong choice - mostly people talk about this with Rhasa, or maybe Ledros, but I've seen it elsewhere too. Someone will say "oh, I tried to kill zed with mystic shot and

Is there any consistent way to make raid groups work?

The high level raids are more or less a waste of time with CPUs, since they get knocked out too quickly and seem to auto-lose the raid. But I haven't been able to figure out how to get a proper group together either. Anybody else having issues? Anybody have any solutions, tips, etc?

Related: if someone posts a code online, for a raid, where would we even enter that to try to use it? Or do you just have to hope their raid comes up in your feed so you can enter the code?

Have yet to get a single other person, or be able to join in someone else's. The matchmaking seems kind of awful (and CPUs are too bad to make high level raids even possible)

Am I missing something or are premade pretty much the only way?

I've seen a lot of people upset about the limited dex, especially on certain other subreddits that shall not be named. And one big theme of the complaints has consistently been "it's against the slogan even that you cant catch them all"

I'm not here to bash on these folks. Lots of people are upset and they're welcome to be. But just in general, I really disagree with this view, but have struggled to articulate exactly why until today: I actually think the limited Dex helps.

Previously, the idea of going for a full dex was A) so tedious as to be near impossible, and B) literally almost impossible without transferring pokemon from previous games. I havent tried to complete a dex, therefore,

Howdy folks!

Earlier I commented in another thread that was discussing the Worlds Groups about one possible format change that I had thought about, that I felt like could have some benefits. It really blew up and I got a lot of positive comments and pm’s encouraging an actual topic about it, so figured I’d make one here.

THE PROPOSAL:

·         We continue to have Groups the same way we do now, with four groups, each of which will end up containing 4 teams. Each group plays a double round robin, for a total of 6 BO1s.

·          At the end of the double round robin, the team with the highest score (1st) in each group moves on, giving us the first 4 of the 8 teams that will end up in the
