Legends of Runeterra: Iterate
Iterate is a mechanic that takes advantage of Legends of Runeterra’s CCG format. It allows the player to create a Unit with new effects of their choice from a restricted list, with each “iteration” also inheriting the abilities of the previous one. This allows the player both to adapt their strategy to the situation and to build up extremely powerful units by the end of the game.
This mechanic couldn’t exist in a physical TCG because of the elements of randomness and the difficulty of tracking each version of the created Unit. However, it is easy for players to understand, enjoyable to use, and synergizes well with many existing effects in Legends of Runeterra and so making it an interesting mechanic to design.
Since all the champions in League of Legends that suited the idea were already present in the game, I chose to create an original character, giving me complete freedom in designing the card. In the end, I chose to make it an engine for Iterate that can serve as a finisher late in the game.
