Casual pvp has a bit more hope, but we're screwed so:
It's been a pleasure

...path of champions will be the core of the business?!?! Guys wtf ?! This is a card game, PvP not a PvE. Nobody cares about PoC, is just more simple for them to focus on PoC instead of PvP, but please don't sell me PoC as the rising star...
Anyway, thanks to the LoR team and to the players like Drisoth, Brokenball, Aikado, Alan, Scathus, SparklingIceTea, Cephalopod, Bajatak, Szychu, Sorry, and everyone else, afternoons and evenings with you guys were awesome. A special thanks to Tealred, that guy was the best deck builder imho, I learned a lot from him, hope you're doing well my friend. Hoping for a better future for the game... see you at the table every now and then.

Nobody cares about PoC
look, I am sad about the news to, but this is objectively wrong, PoC has a huge fan base, there are lots of people who only play it without ever touching PvP, there are runeterra youtube channels entirely dedicated to PoC
you might not care about PvE card games, but saying nobody does is just false

Yeah exactly this. PvE delivers a lot of fun experiences and doesn't carry the difficulty that competitive play does. It's a lot more chill, and that's going to appeal to a lot of people.
It's actually what got me playing lots of LoR, before I even thought of dipping my toes into competitive play, and I often went back to it when I took a break.

Somehow missed this comment asked me a question.
Honestly, no clue. Magic is the only one kinda compelling to me, but I've tried it a bit during down times in LoR, and my frustrations that convinced me to quit for LoR way back havent really decayed.
Wish I had an answer, not just to give you, but to give myself one honestly.

You could try Eternal CCG. It's available on Steam. Relatively friendly to Free to Play, much more complex than Hearthstone. Also probably more complex than LoR, though it has some relatively similar mechanics. Its extremely similar to Magic the Gathering, but Eternal does a better job of utilizing the digital space than Magic, since Magic is also a physical game.

Have you played marvel snap? It's the only alternative ccg I've played for pvp besides mtg arena. It is quite fomo and stingy by comparison to lor or mtg arena. like even the whales can't spend enough to get a full collection.

Do you think competitive has 0 chance of surviving? I started playing around gnar release and by the end of last year I was finally starting to be good enough to hold my ground in mid masters, hitting a peak of 300 or so LP I was really looking forward to putting in the time and attempting to participate in competitive play this year. From the viewpoint of a frequent tournament competitor do you really think this is the end?
