Taking A Break

So first impressions of the new expansion is just more of the same:

Is this Akshan list top tier? 

Yes because it's a card cycle champion that levels faster and more reliably then TF and he's also great.

The whole just add cycle champion, plus stall, plus deny thing, then you have your one win con is just kinda boring for me.

Like out of all the new possibilities for the new set and you settle in mini karma and not even with ezreal to like do something, but again akshan...it's brutal man.

So yeah views seem low for the mini expansion, interest similarly non remarkable, so I'm gonna be playing Overwatch 2.

Which has been sick honestly, team pushing the momentum of an entire game from thr back lines just by forcing people to try to solo que you is great, and then they forget how to play the game.

I think I have that effect in shooters as well as card games.

Now that we're past the first 24 hours of the expansion, it's clear that the meta is pretty wide open. Lots of viable decks, though Vayne and Seraphine have made the biggest impact.

A version of Pirates is still strong. Fiora Pantheon and Jhinnie are both still strong. Somewhere between 5 and 10 new Vayne decks, and two different Seraphine decks are strong.

So yeah, feel free to keep away if you want, but it's pretty crazy out there. And frostbite is super viable currently (due to all the Tumbling), making Freljord actually good.

As far as I can tell there are essentially two decks in the meta.

Seraphin which are the do nothing decks and Vayne that are the do something decks.

They each have something like 3 decks a piece.

Wouldn't call that wide open personally so much as a victim of the mini set release formula but I'm optimistic that when the last part of the Drakin Saga releases and gives Freijord something to do there might be some balance.

OW 2 is great by the way but they cut two characters on launch due to bugs...so still waiting on that.
