![]() ![]() I think that’s the part we’re missing most. I think one of the common frustrations is that the second champion pick could be completely irrelevant to the first giving you an awkward starting point from the get-go.Įxpeditions offer a unique experience but fail to capture the essence of a strategic draft environment. Others drafts you’d be lucky to find any synergies at all. Some drafts would flow perfectly from one card bundle to the next. The cards offered throughout the draft are unreliable and inconsistent. And it’s not just because of the player’s choices. While some may love the chaos, Expeditions often lead to an excellent synergistic deck or a tri-region pile of garbage. The tokens in particular are a great way to offer players the experience without fear of penalty (wasting shards). Additionally, the double-loss system allowed players to survive unfortunate losses and keep on pace towards the end rewards.Įntry costs have always been reasonable and accessible, either via shards or using free tokens obtained every week. Each entry gives players TWO chances! No matter how bad things were the first time, you always had a backup attempt. And when things go badly, it’s not a fun experience.Įxpeditions found an excellent solution to this. There’s of course the natural RNG that comes with any limited environment, but more importantly, entry costs can put an extra emphasis on winning.

Whether you enjoyed them or not, I think we can all agree that there’s room for improvement. It was built to simulate a form of draft or limited gameplay as many of us know from other card games. ![]() But while there are tons to be excited about, we do have to say goodbye to an old friend, Expeditions.Įxpeditions were made to be an alternate way to experience Runeterra. Once May arrives, we’re about to see quite possibly the biggest content update yet. ![]()
