We’re excited to finally be able to share these details with you all! As always, we’ll continue to keep an eye out for feedback and thoughts around this update to make sure we’re hitting our goals and addressing genuine pains to offer the best possible experience in Legends of Runeterra.

Improve overall quality of life for some underplayed champions and archetypes, and encourage experimentation with them.

Tone down some cards that are overly-impactful in the current meta.

This patch is our first crack at a set of card updates under our updated live balance philosophy, so it should serve as an example of what to look forward to with future balance updates. We also have additional guardrails to inform what kinds of changes we want to make, which we’ll get into next! That’s not necessarily a new philosophy, but what is changing is the rate and consistency of changes moving forward to more directly address that particular pain.

We don’t want to actively punish decks that are performing well, but we know it can be a drag to constantly face the same meta decks for an extended period of time. To put it simply – it’s more fun this way.

Why are we updating our live balance philosophy?.

After that point, you should see a live balance patch about every other month. Due to a staggered release schedule throughout the remainder of the year, however, our next live balance patch is scheduled for January 2022, a month after the release of the Magical Misadventures expansion. In most cases, that means you’ll see a balance patch every other month. Moving forward, the hope is that this new set of processes and priorities will address the feeling of a “stale” meta and any decks that are breaking metrics quickly, rather than having to wait months for a new release. Too much time between releases and card updates, however, can lead to the feeling of a “stale” meta. We avoid significant balance patches immediately upon an expansion’s release, since new card releases will inherently impact the existing meta and it can take time for things to develop and settle. We’ll be planning for regularly-scheduled balance patches to hit between expansion releases. Internally, we’re organizing our processes and refining our priorities for live balance to ensure we’ll have consistent, impactful card updates during each expansion cycle.

How are we supporting live balance moving forward?.It’s a “live” balance philosophy because changes are largely determined by data from gameplay on the live server, on top of surveys, direct player feedback, and our gameplay analysis team (GAT), a team that playtests and advises on various aspects of cards and overall balance considerations before they go live to players. For the LoR gameplay team, our live balance philosophy is the set of principles that determines what could or should be changed, when it should happen, and why we do it. We use this terminology a lot, so it’s important that we’re all on the same page as to what it exactly means.

The card updates in this patch were built using our updated philosophy, so you can expect something similar in scope and priority in upcoming patches as well!įor those interested, let’s get into a little more detail on exactly what this philosophy entails – otherwise feel free to skip down to the 2.18.0 card updates below! These updates will be staggered in between expansion releases. TL DR – we feel that live balance updates are important to improve LoR’s overall player experience and so, moving forward, expect to see regularly occurring scheduled card updates targeted towards impacting the meta, nerfing clear overperformers, buffing underperformers, and generally improving deck diversity.

Before we jump into that, though, we wanted to share an update on the overall philosophy and targets for live balance moving forward. As promised back at the launch of Beyond the Bandlewood, we’ve got quite a few card updates for this patch.
