The game, “Legends of Runeterra” announced by the Riot Games featuring all League of Legends champions that many players familiar with, so how this game be the focus around the world and what are some key differences that set it apart from other digital card games like Hearthstone, Magic: The Gathering, Gwent, Shadowverse, etc.

[b]League Champions in Card Game

[/b]With League of Legends already having a wealth of Champions, it only made sense for Riot Games to translate those over to Legends of Runeterra as the Legends themselves. Other digital card games such as Gwent have characters from “The Witcher” series they’re based on as cards in, Geralt for example. However, the Champions of League of Legends each have their own gear sets and abilities, meaning that a lot of what can be found in the popular MOBA is now part of this spin-off card game.

[b]Levelling

[/b]Within matches, Legends can be levelled up and become stronger, but that will only happen when the right opportunity presents itself.

Different from Shadowverse that can be levelled once only, this is almost certainly based on the mechanic of levelling up within each match of League of Legends, adding abilities to a champion as you do so. This mechanic is creative in the digital card game genre and adds a layer of complexity that could become the focus of multiple decks build.

Sees both players use cards in each round

Most digital card games stick to the format of one player placing cards at a time. However in Runeterra, both players will be using cards in each round. This unique way of playing rounds is sure to add even more strategy to the way Runeterra is played.

Oracle’s Eye

It seems players can look into the future at possible outcomes for their moves. If a player isn’t sure about placing a card, they can use Oracle’s Eye to see a forecast of the future, which may or may not be that accurate given how the enemy player will react. This is absolutely a new mechanic that makes the game even more strategic.
