Are you guys literally trying to prove my point lol?!

Thank you I guess

I'll take a free harsh winds into ash level up on your renekton and scissors girl

They were sooooo big what happened?

Now they all shriveled up

Like your tiny peneisis...do you understand the metaphor?

Are you getting this?

Wow that 0/14 poro was so big

How'd you make such a big poro?

Yeah so once again fb lockdown is a solid black sheep pick right now

Cuz 90% of the decks in standard just want to swing their big dick

And they can't if it's all shriveled up

Oh man 0/17 xolani

That card was sooooo big!

Sooooo big

How did you make such a big card!

Additionally the idea that Akshan is a well designed champ definately might have been the case at one point

But he very quickly became a beat stick for swinging glave in the same way Samara became an accelerator for bot spam

It's a pretty classic case of the most effective way to win at LOR is to not actually care about your Champs at all to simple use them as a means to an end unless they themselves can exodia and then that's okay keep those dudes alive

We see decks that are heavily reliant on their Champs like lurk and frostbite and deep generally underperform across all formats because it simple turns out that the 34 other cards in your deck matter more than your champions

What happened to master yi, or Lee Sin these primary champ build around win conditions that generally "should" be getting better as the game progresses and develops but are in fact getting infinitely worse

I dont know about you guys but I want to get dragon kicked in the face or void sliced or whatever. At least I know the game is working as intended

The worst part is I generally don't know how to fix this. They could make pro king roll with a random key word and sometimes he gets spell shield?

They could make tiger girl create javelin on level instead of strike?

These things would be good but they wouldn't solve the fundamental problem of...spam 2/1s, exodia, or develop some other non champ related wincon generally being better than your primary champ wincon and as long as that's the case I don't know how the new Champ releases don't continue to be less impactful than they should be

Frankly, and I've said this multiple times we won't really know the true impact of the 3 Champs till Eternal ladder opens up

But yes as it stands in standard they numerically inferior in every way to what's good

Namely beater decks and aggro decks

Saying poro king is x good without braum is like saying Evelyn is x good without Siren song it just doesn't work or feel as strong

Similar things can be said about abush/ transform and its general reliance on pokey stick to flip ping based transform creatures or gnar

Bird lady might be the only champion we can definitely say is pretty meh and I will 100% agree with that

But thankfully the more cards that get printed thr better she gets absolutely she's a grower not a shower

But absolutely if you want to make the argument that decks with strong theme ingredients and build around conditions are generally bad right now in standard absolutely

Lurk is down to a negative winrate in standard...lurk the original Unga bunga is not Unga or bunga enough...for standard the format it's supposed to be good in

I dont like lurk I'm just saying somethings definately wrong there

Cuz if lurk can't get it up what chance does ambush have?

So yeah there is a problem with LOR and what works and what doesn't

And it isn't the champ design that's for sure

Keep in mind my big 10 brain solution for fixing midrange frostbite in standard was hmmmm what if I add more burst and put some big overwhelm wolves into it

And you know what it worked cuz or course it did. Part of it is the turbo ash ans leblanc tho so that is case where the Champs get to do some carrying in a non beater capacity which is nice

But 99% of the time I see people play ambush they don't turbo nadalee or try to preserve nar and if you arent doing that it says a lot about your faith in the current balance of power between champions and just hand vommit board state

I think this was a big problem that happened with gwent the minute gold cards or champions feel less important than say spamming pings till you play 3 6/6 bots

Or grinding stats till you have an exodia body and just playing a massive low curve 2/1 spam or anything else that's good right now

When that becomes more important than the Champs you're playing and the new Champs designed by Riot that's when the game stops functioning as intended

You see a lot of players they meta grind, they burn out and leave, they really don't contribute anything memorable

But the reason every struggles with Nifty as an established part of the LOR community

Is that I generally don't give a fuck

No deck trackers, no counters, no net decking, no nothing

Just me and my brain and my decks

And the fact that works drives people crazy

Well unfortunately I got the medals, most people don't proofs in the pudding

And you know what hilarious?

Doesn't matter how many games I let you guys win

I still have the masters medals for the last two seasons

And I can just grow my collection whenever I want :)

Omg that darkness deck was so bad what was that 20 turns of nothing?

Play anything else

Was that your jayce deck too?

Blaaaaaaah

Okay you gonna run 49% nasus in standard?

Go nuts you could probably do better

But big boy be big is a deck 

Ooooh Evelyn poros really stretched your noggin with that one

Maybe build so it doesn't suck tho?

Again memes = hard

And I win at hard

So its actually really really hard to win with memes

I wouldnt recommend it for bad players

Like for example chamilion works in my eternal transform list because of his high value optimization

He either transforms into a 4 mana regen creature that draws a card meaning you draw 2 cards or he transforms into two ping birds for double pings

It's not just hey look I ran a bad card funny

Or hey look I just owned you with frostbite wolves in standard how funny

I actually built it function optimally that way

Ionia is a cool region, I once said that LOR is at its least fun when Ionia is strong

But maybe we are over compensating a bit

Pretty much every region had playable decks in standard and eternal right now

But despite the inclusion of what's on paper some of the best draw and even a 1 mana deny

They just aren't really getting anywhere right now

Do we want to see the return of Ionia allegience for kenin spam?

Or do they need more low curve options like dragon priestess

Either way it would be nice to see decks other than Evelyn, illoi, kaisa, scissors, and aggro be playable in standard

And it would be nice in eternal if ping spam wasn't the go to control solution for every deck

But what do I know I'm just the eternal king, who can win with hilarious brews in both formats

It just so happens that in one format that's a viable masters strategy and the other not so much things are too narrow

Yeeeeep I just miniteed your leveled viego

Only in eternal baby!

I did say I was the eternal king not the standard king

Standard blows I just make it slightly more tolerable

Eternal though is my playground

Yes I did just minitee your dumb dragon deck

People say eternal is all spells thats wrong

Eternal is just all brains

Don't hate on the poros meta deck it's okay u suck

Yeah eternal is still better I can que and insta win against timelines with transform all day long :)

Rather than this back and forth standard garbage

Do you like beaters or aggro it's wide open!

Pretty good stuff holding steady in the garbage standard meta with off meta lists

Gives me hope for the format honestly

Maybe one day it won't be complete garbage 😋

So while you're running sub par decks to counter me I will be making a combined 55% climb to masters

So just play your game ans climb if u can

oh no daddy ran the deck that doesn't lose to hush and vengence

2 deck MF

eat it

told you even with total transarency into my 2 lists

you cant counter both!

just 1 or the other

https://masteringruneterra.com/meta-stats/

Need more evidence in the last 3 days winrates have dropped even further 

Almost like brewers have cracked the 2 archetype meta with a combined 2 deck climb

Thats what I would do if I was smart

Wait I am smart and that is what I'm doing!!!

I'm so god damn confident you can't beat this two deck climb with your small Majin brains

That I'll include both lists

Oh no you can counter me with beater decks and you can't counter me with aggro decks!?

But thats all of Majin standard?!

What will you doooooooooo?

It's 50/50 what I run almost like you should just play the God damn game and lose to me

🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 

Yeah and that's how you climb bitch

2 decks one to counter aggro

One to counter beaters

Doesn't matter how you go I have the answer
