1,231 totalRiot has essentially admitted that pvp is a mess and that additional focus needs to be brought to the table.

Only problem, it will be a month till we start seeing those amazing champion balance patches and …
I'll use some examples from mtg.
Sacrificial altar, flames of intention, companions when they were first released.
All nerfed in some way because they were "op"
But what does op mean in a card game, how can …
None of this is beside the point it is the point.
You have two metas broad with many available archetypes, and narrow with only a few polarizing archetypes.
One is good, one is bad.
Thats all there …
We had something like 10-12 viable decks last patch that where 56% and up.
Here are the list of casualties.
1. Riven Viktor
2. Aphelios
3. YOA
4. Feel the rush
5. Azir Irelia
…We're entering into one of the most polarizing metas we've ever seen in LOR.
Winrates are down across the board and only very selective deck types are sucessful currently.
You have slow decks that go big, and slow …
Hard to say, Deep and Thralls became viable again just by offering more support.
So believing Yassao or Kindred is similar isn't crazy so much as wishful thinking.
That being said the new double stun in noxious and …
The main reason Yassao doesn't work is that his deck struggles when he isn't drawn.
So you want to go Targon to tutor, but now you're not getting access to noxious which has his best support cards.
So …
So the expansion has been out long enough that we can start talking about the best new decks and their optimized variants that are winning 56% plus to make them top tier.
1. Annie always run with Jhin turns …
The truth is nobody knows what the perfect Annie list is.
The one everyone plays only has a 52 percent winrate.
Deep by the way hitting 56 these days which is great.
[runedeck]16024[/runedeck]
So there are …
So running 1 Jyn allows you to essentially have 15 agressive 1 drops - guaranteeing the dreaded tripple one drop round two play
12 2 drops including out of region options
Doom beast on 3
And all …
This isnt to do with Annie, but they nerfed demolisionst to a 2/2 and crackshot to a 1/1.
Preemptive concern that Annie would break burn aggro and already compensated on behalf of the developers. So good on them.
Confirmed to be a good card already, how's that for credibility lol...just kidding thats not a thing in relation to a video game.
Yeah the fact that she slots so well into burn aggro, but also Swain, yes there is some cute stun stuff too, but even just like being better then Catlyn in a ezreal control deck.
Means yes much like …
So she's 1 mana ezreal, that only has the precondition of needing to be in combat first.
That would be good enough on its own but she has a 2 mana built in kill spell.
So you guys …
Yeah I've been playing another "bad" deck just to prep for it.
Tahm kench has a similar statline to bard, and slow value oriented play style at 4 mana
And I've wrecking with this deck way more then …
Another hot take with specific examples based on newly released card.
- Keep in mind Jhin is a region you can not duel region Jhin
- jhin get access to every single skill card released as his region
…There's a lot of misinformation going around about this card.
1. Bard is a region
2. bard's support cards are in his region
3. bard can be paired with any region including allegience like shurima and freijord.
…I dont believe bard is like lurk for example where the two recommended regions are actually correct.
I think bard is slow value engine that requires buffing for value. Something like freijord or shurima have a far higher viability …
Here for credibilitiy sake I will share every top winrate control deck code.
Because card game honor or something, along with my opinions strength and weaknesses of each.
1. Catlyn ezreal 56% (CQDQCAQDBEAQGAYNAEBQIEIBAUFJQAICAEBS4NYDAECB6JBUAMCQIBQMBUBACAIDGMAQCBA3AA)
This deck essentially wins …
There are bad matchups, for sure that's the polarizing nature of the meta. But it plays well into catlyn ezreal, into aggro, into midrange. Most of the stuff that people are playing. Then if you find you're quing badly switch …
