Legends of Runeterra’s limited format, Expedition Mode, is getting another set of changes with the upcoming release of Patch 1.10.
Following Call of the Mountain’s release, Riot increased the offering rate of the newer buckets so players could get their hands on the new Targon cards in the limited format. Besides the usual consistency buffs and nerfs to stronger and underperforming buckets respectively, Riot also plans on reducing this offering bonus to newer buckets in this patch. Despite this, the offering bonus is only halved, not removed entirely. It’ll be gone when the next patch drops two weeks from now, though.
In addition to adding and removing cards from varying buckets, the offering bonuses, both Wild Pick and Cohesiveness, have been adjusted to several archetypes. This changes how often you can see these buckets later in the draft if you’re not going for them at the start. Riot also said that Invoke-heavy archetypes are a little consistent right now, but the team said it can take more action if needed if Invoke cards still feel too strong after Targon’s offering rate reduction.
Here are all of the changes coming to Expedition mode in Patch 1.10:
- Call of the Mountain archetypes will now be offered during the initial champion picks half as often as previously, or 50 percent more than normal for the duration of Patch 1.10. The offering bonus will be removed completely with Patch 1.11.
