You need to watch twitch streams with drops enabled. I put 1 on and went and watched tv, then saw an email I got in.
You need to connect twitch to riot games and register for the beta too
Some people claim to watch streams for 20+ hours without an invite. Im wondering if having an honor level in LoL speeds it up. I got an invite after maybe 45 min, I'm honor 3 in league

Oh that is some innovative and wild shit. I have never connected my riot account to it as I havent played league in years.

I assume it's random so some people are unlucky and others lucky. I got one after leaving twitch alt tabbed for a day, not sure how long it took cause I didn't check until the day after. Haven't played League since like, 2015 or something.

I believe you can turn auto pass off in the options. I'd need to hop on and double-check though.

There is, auto-pass is just enabled by default, I presume to make moving through the tutorial and early vs AI games faster.

Same experience for me. Never played League, turned on 1 stream and had it pretty much instantly (sub 1 hour)

Got in, played through it up to the faction-unlocks grind. Pretty fun. The Champion "level-up" requirements are a nice way to impact deck-building while also creating a positive "quest"=>reward emotional feedback during play. The shared-turn-structure and being able to actually interact on the "stack" (as it were) makes this feel so much nicer to me than Hearthstone, but they managed to keep most of the good pacing in the process. I really like the "spell mana" spheres, even if it seems like spell costs are pretty inflated to compensate for it.
As a horrible human being, I like that they don't seem to be particularly averse to combo/bullshit in their first set.

That explains that then.
My first impressions of the game are outstanding. I was impressed with the layout and the ease of play. They already had a nice tutorial that even players not familiar with these kinds of games could easily understand. There is a mix of a few games that have all come together to create this. I of course saw Hearthstone with Magic. The part that kind of made me smile was a bit of Artifact was taken with the card combat and the little friends(Magic Arena has this now).
I can see plenty of various strategies that will add a deep sense of strategy to a simple looking game. This is a good thing.Not having to worry about mana was nice but what really impressed me was the lack of a lot of random. The cards had function that you knew was going to happen rather than having to hope it would happen. Hearthstone went nuts with the random aspect, which was one of the strong negatives for me. The game does have a counterspell....damnit. If it is the only one, then I can live with that.
The release is slated for 2020 but the game played like it could release now. This is a wonderful sign as to the condition of the game and the commitment of the company. This game is a must play for me as maybe we finally get as close to a perfect online card game as can be created.
