Is Standard Actually A Fleshed Out Format?

70% of decks essentially boil down to some sort of beater list, xolani is everywhere, nobody bothers to level champs

I'll be honest I don't know if I can play this garbage for another 3 months

 It might just be a rerun of last time where I break for 3 months so I don't have to watch 5/5 beaters be a  miracle cure to deck building

let's jam Xolani into every deck cuz again answers don't exist and playing one body on curve is how you win

It's sad really the lack of skill expression, the lack of anything

I know when eternal ladder comes out that ambush, poros, zoo they will have a proper home

but right now it's beaters or bust, and that's sad

I'll let you know where the proper homes for this stuff goes in 3 months, but right now standard is assssss like it's always been

any deck that is champ reliant is roughly sitting at 45% any deck that just plays big dudes fast is at 60%

cuz again spells dont exist, so just do thing thing thing into xolani and do that for every deck everytime

no bounces, no removal, no flocks, no answers, no dissintigrates, just xolani.......alllllllll the time

This is the balanced format we chose?

Also why do I have to wait 3 months every time for eternal ladder the more competitive format?

I don't know, I can't even play braum with poro king, you know how much he will positively impact winrates on his own?

Probably 10% because poros without braum isn't poros, it's poros with Xolani once again cuz no answers

  • Also I'm fairly certain that there isn't a single playable Ionia deck in this format

    It's like do you want to play illoi and win that way 

    Or do you want to play Evelyn and win that way and I say Evelyn charitably it's basically the xolani deck

    Why do we have to suffer through Unga bunga for 3 months when we could be playing ryze, or control, or ramp, or tribal, or a good aggro deck or literally any single deck that isn't make big body fast

    Like are you guys honestly having fun playing this way?

    I can't be the only person in LOR who actually likes having his cards and deck choices and champ choices and region choices and archetype choices

    Literally everything standard doesn't have right now

  • I think the intention was that ambush, poro king, and tribal would be revitalized in standard with this set

    But instead it unintentionally push Evelyn xolani to 60%

    Literally the opposite of what the devs wanted

    They wanted you to flip stuff at burst and deny things

    What are you denying there's no spells?

    Anyway I digress cool set Riot I can't wait to see its impact in the extended card pool but right now you pushed Xolani Evelyn to 60% making it the best beater deck in the history of beater decks

    Good job
