The New King Of LOR

We have a new highest win rate deck in legends of Runterra, and that's Swain TF.

I'll include my version that just swaps riptide rex for farron, because he's been getting good results on stream lately.

Now I personally haven't seen anyone playing this list at all, have you guys?

This is according to mobalytics, 57 percent wins, with 3000 games

Sorry to burst your bubble, but both Demacia Relentless Pursuit Garen and Shen/Fiora have over 60% winrate among every top rank player who happens to play those decks.

I know Twisted Fate/Swain also holds a higher winrate considereing top tier spots only, but still lower then both decks.

If your going to continue to flood the forum with sassy misleading titles, at least do some research first.

You're not busting my bubble, that's the whole point of a forum, to discuss.

I personally hadn't seen anyone play TF Swain so I was rather shocked that the stats were showing it at the top.

But I haven't seen a Shen player in like 50 games either, so I'd be interested in knowing where you got that info from.

Nifty might sometimes be wrong but I notice a disturbing trend on this forum: Several people seem to feel they MUST negatively post  replies (be assholes) everywhere.  If you are trying to drive away people from posting on the forums, congrats, you are succeeding.

I also generally site info, so while the sources can be wrong, they are at the very least trying to informative.

Most times you can't really make big assumptions about the meta because there  isn't enough information and sample size. The meta is very diverse and changes a lot. There are dozens of decks that are viable and if  you're good enough you can get over 60% winrate with tons of decks

I seriously doubt Demacia Garen and Shen Fiora are amongst the top 10/20 decks. The best demacia decks should be Lux Thresh and MF scouts.

I actually have been playing TF Swain this week and been doing quite well, its quite versatile and fun to play. I think captain farrow is too greedy maybe, i run 1 rex and 1 more zap, the rest is the same.

Yeah lux thresh is pretty legit, and everyone knows scouts is good. Farron has done well for me personally, I always find that opponents know how to answer 1 Swain 1 Leviathan, and they are sitting at 8 - 6 health with no healing, or you just wiff on leviathan on certain hands, or it's Sej Ash and they are just like clogging the board with big dudes, rex will do nothing. But if it's an Ezreal list rex will destroy them so that's your 50/50

Anyone who thinks they definitively know what the best deck is has no idea what they are talking about. All deck-tier lists for this game are educated guesses -- and what's worse, those guesses are strongly influenced by the listmaker's personal play style. What works well for that person may not work at all for you. And that doesn't even mean one style is better than another -- LoR is a game with room for many different "correct" ways to play.

That said, Swain + Twisted Fate is a very solid archetype. I've had a lot of success with it, and I find it troublesome to play against when I'm using some other deck.
