Each card game has something different to offer imo. LoR has a lot going for it. It's crisp and clean, it feels satisfying to play and has fun, engaging mechanics. Hearthstone feels classic, and has the best game feel of any CCG I've played.
LoR however is waaaay more accessible, which a lot of people on here are framing as like, a bad thing? Like "oh people just like free stuff" - well yeah free stuff is awesome, and it makes it easier to play fun games. Hearthstone in contrast is severely inaccessible, its so damn expensive to pick up a full collection, dwarfed only by MTG Arena's awful economy. The season pass thing that provides tons of gold is a step in the right direction, but we're miles from where we should be.
I couldn't have put it better. Which LoR server you're on?

I'm NA.
I've got the same name on there as I do here - though I haven't played in a few weeks. Been real busy between work and Hearthstone related creative work.
I was considering leaving Hearthstone for a different game but felt like building a collection would be a huge chore, thanks for the insight!
And when I say leaving I really mean leaving, at least until another expansion comes out. Blizzard just keeps making the same mistakes when it comes to balancing in standard and with the new core set the amount of deckbuilding possibilities has dried up substantially. It feels like sh*t when every time you try something new you just get beat down by tier 1 meta decks and the money/dust spent on your cards feels like a waste. Every expansion I think 'maybe this deck will work if I get that legendary' and spend some money on packs, only to realize that the best decks have already been made and everyone else is playing those. Leaves such a bad taste when you feel your money is wasted like that.
I already love League of Legends but seeing the champions in a card game seemed kind of weird to me. I'm definitely going to give it a try!
I feel ya.. Anyway, try out LoR, you wont regret it. If you start on EU you can add me and i can give you tips on how to maximize your weekly experience gain, so you will be able to complete your collection in the fastest time possible. Just add me under a3b2c1 #5685 on Europe.
runeterra is better in several aspects, especially about deck balance. The mechanics are better and, currently, there are at least 20 high-ranking competitive decks. I'll mention the ones that come to mind: aggro noxus-targon, pirate aggro, fiora shen, endure, midrange frostbite, go hard, plaza scout, zoe lee, zoe fiora, fearsome, discard jinx, nox-pil burn, warmother, soraka tahm, teemo, scargrounds...
Do you have any site to netdeck good runeterra decks? I'm always find horrible sites with horrible lists. I like the game but don't have the same patience to deckbuilding there like i have in years of HS and still has in HS.
I'm a huge fan of MegaMogwai for LoR decks. He's super fun and engaging, and a really down to earth honest dude. All the other people listed in the thread are great too, he's just my personal fave for this game.
I sometimes watch Mogwai too, but his decks are very meme-y and he's never going for high ranks. If memes and homebrew is one's thing, one is better adviced to watch people like Mog. The guys i mentioned are better suited for if competitive play and meta decks are one's piece of cake.
Downloaded this yesterday due to this thread. I’ve heard good things before too but finally think it’s time to try something new.
I really love the meme shit so hopefully this has lots of that.
First impressions are good. It looks crisp and the mechanics seem rewarding, I find breaking an orb instead of killing a hero a little dissatisfying though and the general tone of the game is a huge step down from HS. Without ever playing WoW, Hearthstone pulled me in immediately with it’s lore, the LoR lore is a little generic? I don’t know.
Definitely going to give it a proper go though, I can see a lot of possitives.

Hey man. First, which realm you're on? Give tag please :)
I felt the same way in the beginning about there being an orb instead of a hero. But it 0 bothers me now.
Keep in mind that LoR is way less RNG based than HS (telling this cause a big part of memes in HS is RNG). It's a game where i very rarely can blame the opponent for having superior RNG. In HS this happens all the time (Same for me, ofc, i often highrolled opponents there as well). In LoR, in case of the more complex and flexible decks (yes, there are also rather easy decks that just curve out), if you play them perfectly, you almost never lose. The game gives a huge payoff to good players (and due to its complexity it is harder to get good in LoR than it is in HS), which i really prefer in games. In HS i also played pretty successfully in high legends, but there i never had the same impression of truly being "master over my own fate" that i have in LoR.
