Sun Disk decks is the Definition of a timmy deck: it has big splashy effects that are unlikely to work out but win you the game if you should get to do it.

Also it's about watching ~movies~ level up animations.

However: the best sun disk deck I can think of runs 2 regions and no sun disks 

If anything is amazing about this patch it is that [runecard]iceborn legacy[/runecard] is burst again

Slow speed made the card unplayable. Giving it burst speed back seeems... powerful

poro elusives, freljord bladedance, spider legacy, heimerdinger's legacy?

There is so much to try now and I feel like there will be a some broken deck featuring this card. 

Alanzq might stream daily but to me he is not an option worth mentioning.

I only were 2 times on his channel and boy was he arrogant towards his audience.

Sure some might think different on him but to me he is just a douche and I won't watch him even if he is a good player.

…

The reason why even in iron there are quite decent player is that the wast majority of players don't play ranked at all. 

If there is no real reason to play ranked casuals won't do it. They will play some PvE some normals and be fine with it.

Ranked is for those who want to prove to themselves …

Nifty kinda has a point when he says that nerfing specific archetypes out of tier 1 status often results in just 1 deck less being viable without improving the rest of the metagame.

The thing that riot has to be aware of is: what archetypes are oppressive and completely devalue a legitimate strategy?

What I mean by that: …

With nightfall I think that the theme is quite independant from it's champions which is why you see several stables like [runecard]pale cascade[/runecard] being used outside of nightfall decks.

[runecard]Nocturne[/runecard] and [runecard]Diana[/runecard] more have the purpose to enable a deck based on the nightfall mechanic.

Lurkers however... don't let me get started with this parasitic mechanic that basically …

While Targon's invoke and Bandle's Manifest indeed are very similar they however differ quite clearly.

Targon's invoke is limited to a small set of cards and since many invoke cards also fetch from a subset of this small set it's quite predictable for both players.

Bandle City's manifest however gives access to a set of cards dependant on …

I disagree with [runecard]zilean[/runecard] since predict was released first in shurima and also has the largest support there. However [runecard]ekko[/runecard] is proably the champion you meant since predict never really was a P&Z theme and doesn't seem to become a p&z theme anytime soon.

I know the devs want to release a champion for every region to keep the …

Given that [runecard]boomCrew rookie[/runecard] never Was a problem since he got nerfed to a 1/3 statline and that stonestackers are very similar to that makes me think that it has a reasonable powerlevel.

[runecard]Lecturing yordle[/runecard]: how could i have forgotten about this annoying engine? Well how about we nerf his atttack instead of HP? This way it would be …

Since we are currently ranting about the meta and since Riot confirmed incoming nerfs for BC how about we brainstorm which nerfs we could think of:

My suggestions:

[runecard]Otterpus[/runecard]: remove attune 1/1 -> 1/2 

Reason: he is a staple in every BC deck and overall too cheap for what he is doing (and hes annoying)

[runecard]Conchologist[/runecard]: …

The issue that I see with bingo's strategy is that [runecard]encroaching mist[/runecard]s aren't easily summoned and take a good while to build up. 

You usually have to level [runecard]kennen[/runecard] faster than turn 6+ to be worth it and this deck proably doesn't get him leveled fast especially if you don't draw [runecard]camavoran soldier[/runecard] who you can't tutor with this …

I can't say if the deck is good.

I however can say with absolute certainty say that [runecard]tail-cloak matriarch[/runecard] doesn't belong into this deck.

Like how many recall effects do you play? 6? And 3 of those are reactice recalls.

Like this card is hardly worth in dedicated recall decks but in this list? I feel it …

That a deck like [runecard]Ezreal [/runecard] [runecard]Kennen [/runecard] even reached 55% with it's extreme playrate is VERY wrong. 

If you watched some LoR gameplay in the lower ranks you saw how poorly the deck get's played by a good amount of players and that it lost 10% winrate should be because those "suboptimal" players no longer will win games …

if people actually stop playing ionia just because [runecard]god-willow seedling[/runecard] is less op now and [runecard]kinkou wayfinder [/runecard] is less abusive then that's clearly an overreaction/mistake

Ionia got great new cards if people don't find ways to use them then that's on them

could it be that the actual reason why people stoped playing ionia decks is that …

Let me see: 

Dragon decks can be tricky since they can get rid of yasuo and have tricks to stop my deck in combat

Heimerdinger gets sliced into pieces

Lurks all have 2 hp and hardly any tricks. Yasuo and Kennen love that. 

Deep really depens on how early you hit [runecard]fae bladetwirler[/runecard]: if you hit …

What is a nerf to [runecard]kennen[/runecard] [runecard]ezreal[/runecard] is a not that bad/ maybe even a buff for [runecard]kennen[/runecard] [runecard]yasuo[/runecard]. The fact that I now always get to fetch [runecard]the mourned[/runecard] and [runecard]kennen[/runecard] allows the deck to chose which engine it wants to go for ([runecard]the mourned[/runecard] to level [runecard]kennen[/runecard]/[runecard]yasuo[/runecard] and buff [runecard]fae bladetwirler[/runecard] or [runecard]kennen[/runecard] to get more cc.

…

Only 1 [runecard]the Box[/runecard] in slay control?

Given the frequency of turn 4 wayfinders i would run at least 2 copies to always "welcome" our [runecard]kennen[/runecard]s

Quote From Neoguli

[runecard]Event Horizon[/runecard]?

okay so you are trying to take your chance to kill the lvl 1 [runecard]kennen[/runecard]s with a [runecard]yasuo [/runecard] on curve on turn 5?

Good luck at succeeding with that buddy and not get denied/recalled

I am really not buying this card since it will rarely hits more …

It pains me to see that people play yasuo kennen with bandle city as the second region.

Bandle city doesn't support yasuo a lot: you get [runecard]cloud stance[/runecard] [runecard]lightning rush[/runecard] and [runecard]quicken [/runecard] but is that good enough to justify bandle? Apparently it's not given the deck win's only 40% of games.

Meanwhile if you go targon, get …

forget about what I said about [runecard]Ahri [/runecard] being good. You kill or stun the unit next to her and she just dies

the broken champion of this expansion is without a doubt [runecard]kennen [/runecard] who singlehandedly combines aggro supression, free spellshield procs and in combination with [runecard]ezreal [/runecard] a ton of burn damage for free ... as a …
