The Worst Champions (Burst Meta)

Seems fun, Ibex for sure is a very strong card, totally under-rated

How To Build Zillian & Ekko

There's a pretty strong consensus that predict sucks as a mechanic, and a deck type.

This is half right, predict doesn't function well as a self contained wincon by itself, so I'm gonna share some lists that nobody is …

The Worst Champions (Burst Meta)

You should share that Soraka list, I was struggling to find a cool home for her. Yes Sejuani is still good, she might be the rare champ where her play effect is more important then her level up.

The Worst Champions (Burst Meta)

So just gonna go through what I feel are the worst champions during the burst meta and you'll notice a trend pretty quickly where if they need to interact with other cards during combat to get value they tend to …

Card Casting Limit

As far as I can tell this doesn't seem to be a thing. I've made opponents using the infinite combo deck go through the motions of winning just to see if there was a limit

Removal Gets Worse With Every Expansion

We also have Fizz Draven , and Temo Zed. Now you havent heard of these decks, want to know why? Because frankly every deck that uses their champions as burst speed non interaction sticks play the same and are built …

Removal Gets Worse With Every Expansion

Board presence implies having multiple units on board. As just stated the majority of the top tier decks go all in on one champ, usually a cheap one with quick attack.

Yes some decks continue to do well playing …

Removal Gets Worse With Every Expansion

Easy math time card fans.

If you run a deck with 3 mystic shots what are your chances of having more then one in your opening hand?

How likely is it to have more then one combat trick …

Burst Spells Are 25% Of The Meta

https://www.swimstrim.com/runeterra/decks-and-meta

Roughly 5 of the top decks on Swims site have 10 burst spells on average, meaning they consist of 25% of each of those decks.

You jam them on a quick attack unit, Zed, Sivir, Darius and …

Is Viego Too Universally Good?

The original point was that the card was too "universally" good which is to say he literally fits in everywhere and does everything.

Go to mobalytics and the number of viego decks outstrip every single other champion.

But …

Is Viego Too Universally Good?

For sure I had said before that tempo decks are ruling the meta right now.

Like if thresh Nasus is the best "shadow" deck with an atrocity win con it only hits 53% tops

If you want to …

Is Viego Too Universally Good?

Yeah well right now control gets slaughtered by everything unless they are in noxious for flock, as it's the best removal in the game and the only one that's remained competitive with combat tricks.

Is Viego Too Universally Good?

Yeah it really depends on your philosophy, Zillian, Malphite, and Thaliyah are amazingly well designed cards, and I'll throw Eko in there...but yes they are bad.

The most optimized Eko list has a 40% winrate when piloted by the …

Card Advantage Doesn't Matter - Unless It Does

Azir Irelia really shouldn't have card advantage on you...I'm trying to think like even pirate aggro should at least trade 1 for 1 with them.

They are a tempo deck, they throw out free units, but their hand will …

Is Viego Too Universally Good?

Very seldom have we seen a situation where a champion can essentially be jammed into a variety of lists and have them be statistically competitive if not amazing.

Right now on mobalytics you'll see 4 different lists of similar …

Do control options need to be re-evaluated

This is the thing though.

If removal is A over costed B a speed slower then combat tricks, it will always be relatively useless as more and more tricks get printed.

It would be like in old school …

Do control options need to be re-evaluated

Tempo and midrange aren't really the same thing.

To use an mtg example since we are going there, one of the older metas was dominated by mono blue tempo.

It was all two mana counter spells, creatures that …

Do control options need to be re-evaluated

So Tempo decks are essentially ruling the meta right now

1. Azir Irelia 58 percent winrate

2. Zed Sivir 57.5

3. Pirate aggro 58.7

4. leblanc sivir and shen jarvan 56.5

5. discard aggro 56.8

Post Event Meta

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

Already we have some pretty definitive data here.

Anything that curves out is doing exceptionally well right now, and anything that doesn't isn't.

So 55% and up

-shen jarven

-delvers 

- sivir decks

Riot Is Outdoing Itself Lately

Viego is definately good, it just bugs me how much better then kindred he is.

I might try running both in a control list to see how that goes.

But honestly, decks are running so little removal in …
