If there's one thing I'd change immediately, it's the deck builder
I'm a Netrunner player, never played the physical version of LOTR, but I definitely recognise how http://ringsdb.com/ works. All the information I'd expect available at a glance.

But it's all hidden behind a clicky interface in this game.

Makes it pretty hard to build a deck from scratch to be honest. After playing the tutorial and first scenario, I have a bit of a feel for how I want to build decks. Like, if you want to not take Arwen, then you need to have a bit more health regeneration in your deck. Well. The info is there, but you constantly need to click and unclick and try to keep all that info in your head.

And scrolling without a scrollbar? What is this, MS-DOS? A scrollable view area for cards is surely not a challenge if the intention is to bring this game cross-platform to mobile devices.

Add more cards than is legal to your deck? No you cannot, a pop-up tells me I've put too many in my deck. Great. I KNOW. I was moving a card I found interesting in so that I could consider side-by-side which card to pull out. But no. Now I need to make a decision in advance. There are far better ways to inform the player that their decks are illegal and unplayable while retaining a flexible interface.

No icons to say what type of card it is once it's in the list?

Really glad this is just early access, I'm hopeful this can be worked on and made comparable to community-built deckbuilders before the proper launch.

I agree with most of the stuff you're saying. I'd love to see the ability to add more cards than would fit in your deck, then have to shrink it down before saving, as that's often how I make decks, and from what I can tell, how lots of people do so too.

I'd also like it if they swap the left and right click buttons, since left click to look at flavor text keeps messing me up, but that's way less of a concern than the other stuff you brought up :v

Yep, played both Netrunner and LotR LCG a lot. It's missing a ton of quality of life functionality.

Just off the top of my head:
Breakdown of # of allies, attachments, events, faction and cost in the deck
Filters, filters and more filters

Take my upvote.

I agree too, it's painful to build a deck, need more tools, more informations about the current deck and a more friendly pc user interface.
There is something not very practical about the deck builder interface (and the general interface too) but I can't really pinpoint what it is. It feels...sluggish maybe ?
