In this video, BUST discusses the upcoming rotation changes in the video game Legend of Runeterra. Here are the key takeaways:
- The rotation article explains that many cards were rotated to improve the game balance and remove certain mechanics like lurk and darkness.
- Bandle City’s identity is not clear, but it seems their strength lies in card generation and one-damage ping themes. They are also supposed to be good at using yordles, which is unusual for a faction identity.
- Bilgewater has struggled to define its identity with siloed-off synergies that only work within the faction. Their spell-heavy decks have been degenerate, and the new mechanics introduced did not fix the problems.
- Demacia used to have a strong faction identity centered around combat. They had units battling each other, combat tricks, and ways to shut down opponent’s spells. However, with the rotation changes, some thematic cards are being removed while Elites are being brought back. This decision is confusing and disappointing for players who enjoyed the unique gameplay of Demacia.
- The removal of strong champions like Jarvan and Cataclysm is puzzling, especially considering their ties to Demacia’s faction identity. The replacement of these cards with generic Elite cards diminishes what makes Demacia interesting as a faction.
- The direction of Demacia seems to be moving toward becoming a pile of stats rather than focusing on the previous combat-centered gameplay.
- It remains to be seen how these changes will impact gameplay, and BUST is eager to see how Demacia develops in the future.
