Honestly, I would just take the reducing cycling power in the 2 slot, and the minimorph change and call it a win.

I just wanted to provide a wide list of balance options as opposed to a all of …

So post patch as the meta begins to settle its become fairly obvious that bandle city is just good...and there's very little mystery as to why.

Having every card in your archetype just cycle, while also allowing you to …

So last time we went over the top dogs of the new meta, which exist with much debate. So how about the under dogs the decks people don't see coming and can win just as much?

Here we go!

No hush, minimorph, or stress defense, or frostbite, or hard removal of any kind that must be some insular high end deck building stuff because I laugh at Lee Sin everytime.

Admididly all my lists even the midrange ones …

Just gonna go over this article pretty quickly, and present my.own thoughts.

Dragons, plunder, Lurk, Sivir, and Sion are solid midrange decks and for that reason they are good right now, are they exceptional, hard to say …

Umm if you say so you should look at my decks lol.

Everything is off meta and powerful and unique.

But youre right most people are meta slaves.

Now I just looked at the play rates of …

I think thats the point that its no where on the tier list and youre better off climbing with any random midrange list you're comfortable with right now.

Or you can always wait for other people to do it …

Title pretty much says it all.

If you're still a mobalytics slave you might think that bandle tree is the best deck in the game post nerfs.

But honestly I haven't seen a single person play it, people …

I'd say mayor is probably the only card left the devs are probably looking at real closely. Like how many decks are literally just Add mayor and telescope and stress defense, and minimorph and boom you're done.

The aggro …

Its no secret I found the vanilla release of bandlewood to be basically unplayable once the meta settled.

Gangppank burn, scion Draven, Nami, and shadow creating this really poor play space where it was impossible to tech against everything.

Or to put it in simpler terms. The things that make competitive sports interesting, are the same things that make e-sports interesting.

Big swings, underdogs, out of left field plays, nobody wants to watch competitive autism unless we're literally …

So its no secret that Legends of Runterra only received 15,000 views on its worlds tournament on twitch.

By Riot standards this is an exceptionally low viewer count.

And it has a lot to do with the way …

Now that people have stopped deck building and having fun, the stats are locked in for most popular decks to encounter when playing ladder. Which I'll go over here.

https://lor.mobalytics.gg/stats/regions

Zoe Nami and Draven War are 20% of …

All those cards you just listed are core region cards and are unlikely to change. Like how is demacia answering temo without Sharp sight?

Sparkle fly is a meme 

Aloof could maybe discard lowest cost, but then it …

Just hit Plat with Poppy's pirate ship, will update again when I hit diamond...sooo much conjecture.

Actually I'm a diamond player mostly and I do it over my phone in my spare time.

With zero meta lists only my own decks.

And I'm free to play

Anyways let's talk about worlds.

What …

Man these "bad" poppy decks I made sure do win a lot just started my climb after meeming hard easy gold. Then on to Plat and we'll see if I have the patience for Diamond again depending on how busy …

Yes and I provide mobalytics stats that directly contradict what is being said. Also I'm honored you made a meme about me not sure if that speaks to your abundance of spare time or my influential nature in the community.

I dont know if I can trust that website its saying pirate aggro is winning 60% of games which would make it the best deck in the game for ladder and I actually belive pirate aggro has never been worse.

The big problem with having mobalytics curated by essentially 2 people is that you can run into issues where personal bias plays a big role into how tier lists are designed.
