What I'm buying after I win the Ahri at Germany

I see people arguing with each other in such bad faith. The reality of the RC changes in that they happened about 2 weeks before the first event after people spent 100s of hours on expected meta and testing. You can make these changes but the timing is atrocious and that's the biggest complaint. Trying to make it about balance / EV etc anything other than that is just disingenuous

My opinion on RC changes:
- top58 draft good for competitive nature of RC
- no conceding rule is based but also not enforcable and will fail
- set 1/2 legends should also have best ofs at RC for open metagame
- open decklists are based but redundant, showing your legend is enough

Not sure yet if I like this or not, but the timing of the announcement is the main issue
We had a very clear prizing structure when they announced it in July, and some people have been prepping their OGN/SFD metal decks since then. Now they're simply cooked with 3 weeks left before the event?

Overnumbered Foil Plated Legends will now be rewarded based on overall tournament performance.
The top 58 finishers will draft from the available Overnumbered Foil Plated Legends in finishing order, beginning with 1st place and continuing until all 58 Legends have been selected.

By the way; You can’t have a policy to not ban cards before important events and do this out of nowhere before the most important event of the year.
This changes a lot how you deckbuild and acts as a super-ban.
This in addition that we are in one of the unhealthiest meta ever.

Sharing decks in Discord just got a lot nicer 👀
Paste a Piltover Archive deck link and it unfolds into the deck's card, shows if it's legal ✅ and gives you buttons to view it, open it in the Deck Builder or grab proxies 🃏

The May update that became a September and then an October update has become a 2026 update.
If they just put an article on their thoughts during each of these planned updates that got missed that'd probably be fine but this is just incompetence

Time to cry :
Battlefields that allow double conquering as early as turn 2 are unhealthy for the game.
Similarly Star Spring allowing you to move units back after attacking. Core concepts of the game is how units in battlefields are exposed to attacks and more vulnerable. Going to the other battlefield should be something that either requires a turn or extra resources.
These Battlefields completely ignore that and make going first/secon patterns obnoxious while also being unfun and I doubt anyone enjoys a game in this battlefields, reminding me of Reaver’s Row.
Ban Star Spring & Hillock 🔨
On another note Nocturne is also unhealthy, being unfun both when you draw it and when your opp high rolls it.
And now that I am at it , please ban Stellacorn & Elder too!

If you are so against AI that you’re even against AI coding, I dunno what to tell you. Better remove everything you’re using cause there’s some level of AI code generation used in everything now.
Engineers gotta move fast and syntax logic isn’t the creativity people care about.

ChallengerTCG has removed Koko Lopez from the team.
After speaking with his opponent, the event staff at RQ LA, and Koko, we believed his disqualification was a one-off misunderstanding. Koko maintained that he was innocent of the accusations against him. Clips shared today from multiple matches show otherwise, and Koko has now made a statement to us admitting culpability. We do not tolerate cheating. We're sorry to the players he faced and those who stood up for him. ChallengerTCG is committed to competing at the highest level with integrity and we thank you for your support.
