Legends of Runeterra has received a new update. The 1.10 patch, which is the first major update since Call of the Mountain was introduced, brings a host of changes and improvements to Riot Games’ digital card title. A new Law, Gauntlet updates, bug fixes, and more await, so read on to find out what’s new and improved.
Standard Gauntlet update
Standard Gauntlet mode lets you select from three pre-determined decks before you begin playing, and there are three new rules to be aware of:
- No champions duplicated between decks
- Different region combinations for each deck
- Maximum one champion-less deck
After choosing your deck, you’ll enter matchmaking as normal until you are paired with an opponent. You will then enter the pick and ban lobby, which allows you to view regions and champions from your foe’s deck, and ban one of them from being played. They return the favor, and then you pick from your two remaining decks that you wish to use in the following single-player match.
Welcome to the Jungle Lab
This new Lab has been inspired by the jungling gameplay in League of Legends. To win matches, you have to clear your opponent’s jungle camps, and you will receive rewards if you get the best of them. The rules in place for this Lab are:
- Both players have Vulnerable, Immobile jungle monsters on their board.
- Killing your opponent’s jungle monster grants you a powerful buff spell with your choice of potent effects.
- Killing a jungle monster also spawns another in its place next round. Watch out—the new ones may be even stronger as the game goes on!
Cross-shard Friend Challenge
- Friend challenge now available with all friends, regardless of which regional shard they play on.
