About this game

In this strategy card game, skill defines your success—not luck. Mix and match iconic champions, allies, and regions of Runeterra to unlock unique card synergies and outplay your opponent.

MASTER EVERY MOMENT
Dynamic, alternating gameplay means you can always react and counter, but so can your opponent. Choose from dozens of champion cards to include in your deck, each with a different mechanic inspired by their original League of Legends abilities.

Champions enter the battle as powerful cards, and if you play smart, they level up to become even more epic. Level your champions multiple times in-game, and earn Champion Mastery crests the more you play.

ALWAYS A NEW WAY TO PLAY
Every champion and ally in the game comes from a region of Runeterra. You have access to a collection of cards from nine regions: Demacia, Noxus, Freljord, Piltover & Zaun, Ionia, Targon, Shurima, the Shadow Isles, and Bandle City.

Explore how different champions and regions work together to give you unique advantages against your opponents. Combine, adapt, and experiment with frequent new releases in an always-evolving meta.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH
In PvE, each card you choose shapes your journey. React to unique encounters, earn and equip power-ups, unlock new champions, and rise to new challenges as you move across the map. The enemies will get stronger, but so will you—and you’ll discover different endings the more you play.

PLAY TO WIN, NOT PAY TO WIN
Earn cards for free, or buy exactly what you want with shards and wildcards—you’re in control of your card collection, and you’ll never pay for random packs of cards. While there’s always the option to purchase specific champions, you can easily complete your collection without spending a cent.

Victory or defeat, each battle brings experience and progress. Choose which region you explore first and unlock the cards that call to you, changing regions as often as you like. As you advance, you’ll collect new allies, spells, and champions.

Once a week, you’ll also unlock chests from the Vault. These chests level up the more you play, increasing the rarity of cards inside from common all the way up to epic. They can also contain wildcards, which can be turned into any card you want—no guessing required.

DRAFT AND ADAPT
Labs are limited-time experimental strategic game modes focused on more extreme changes to the classic Legends of Runeterra formula. Choose a premade deck with specific constraints, or bring your own. The rules are always changing, and sometimes you might need a little help from your friends! Go see what Heimerdinger is cooking up next.

CLIMB THE RANKS
At the end of every season, 1024 qualifying Ranked players on each of LoR’s four regional shards (Americas, Asia, Europe, and Southeast Asia) will be able to compete for pride, glory, and a cash prize in the seasonal tournament.

But Ranked play isn’t the only way to qualify—you can also run the Last Chance Gauntlet. Gauntlets are limited-time competitive modes with unique rules to play around and exclusive rewards to unlock.

Ratings and reviews

Been playing since alpha and I love the game. HOWEVER, in recent years there have been more more app issues. The most recent is particularly problematic. The app is unplayable now and has been for about 5 or 6 days. I click on the game it pops up but before I even get to the logo screen it forces me out. I've cleared cache, data, uninstalled and reinstalled, all multiple times and it doesn't work. My primary issues is the trend seems to be that this type of issue is more common than it before

This card game has gotten bad. It focuses so much on pve, their path of the champion. Where the difficulty of their first quest to 2nd quest gets a huge difficulty spike. I tried many times to beat these quests and i get nowhere close. It involves upgrading stars and cards of the champions thats cool but there is almost no progression at the start. Also a chance to progress a champion with shards is so bad. The pvp I wish you could get more exp from them. Tldr progression sucks.

The game itself is fun, especially since there are so many ways to play now. You can build your own decks and play against others or the computer or you can play Path of Champions with pre-built decks and take on challenging decks with boons based on the Hero you choose. The only big negative is how dependent the seasonal rewards pass is now. When it first started, the paid prizes were roughly 50/50, whereas now you get one free prize for every 2-5 paid.

What's new

This patch, The Path of Champions mode releases its first Path-Exclusive champion, Fiddlesticks and receives a slew of QoL improvements. Also, Evelynn gets a new constellation.
