Let's card review woooo

Hey a nightfall finisher, ironically probably better in ramp targon

Infinitely worse than spectral matron but I like the flavor

Really good on like a Renekton, or Ziggs, or Thaliyah, or Xerath

Lurk is a scary deck and rally is gonna push it over the top 

Ionia get's a stun spider now, and it always wanted that, but it had to be worse.

Jin I don't actually care about a great deal

Thralls is awkward as hell to play right now, and this fixes that

If you're just gonna wipe on 4 anyway, now you get a crystal that's not bad

handbuff finisher that's fun

Trying to push the old wayfinder Ionia aggro archetype

Now this card is probably the best Ionia print since vanilla

Fun combo card blade tribal kinda thing

If you play this you need ways to buff his stats 

Interesting don't know where this gets played

So he mystics on play and all your pings are now lethal.

That's fun with like time bombs just full wiping

personally my favorite of the bunch.

There hasn't been a playable deep card in ages

So basically you chump then flip and he heals you and itself

Kind of a spelling slinger blue mage type of thing

Ephemeral support is great

---------

Overall 4 really strong options 6-8 playables that's not bad 

Deep is gonna be the first deck I try followed by Yassao, then Thralls

Hello everyone. Can anyone clear my doubts? I installed Legends of Runeterra from Epic Store a few days ago. Now I want to format the PC, is it possible to save the game in somewhere else than where it is currently saved? Kindly respond to this topic.

Playing on ladder lately has felt pretty repressive to midrange decks.

I wasnt entirely sure if it was a perception issue on my end so I pulled up the weekly stats.

https://runeterraccg.com/meta-stats/

Ezreal Catlyn - 50%

Sundisc - 50%

Riven Viktor- 55% still good

Yumi Pantheon - 54% still good

Darkness - 51% this is the same

Lulu Fizz - 55% don't know this deck

Sivir Alshan - 55% still good

Viktor Aphelios - 52% was never that good

Lurk - 50% wtf?

Yordles in arms - 56% yeah we get it

Scouts - 53%

Thaliyah - 53%

Azir Irelia - negative winrate

Targons Peak- negative winrate

Kindred - negative winrate

Ekko - negative winrate

Spiders - negative winrate wtf?

-------------

The point is that a looooooot of decks that are supposed to be good are getting creamed right now.

And I dont necessarily understand the cause.

Maybe you guys can guess.

Now that LOR essentially has perfect archetype balance now, and massive number of viable decks.

Its very hard to definitively say what buffs, nerfs, and changes need to happen.

Its easy to point to certain things like Freijord being the most underperforming midrange shell by pure numbers.

Or that Bilgewater might be the second worst control region with Kegs and TF and deep seeing very little play.

But how much of that is just the way the game is played right now, and how much is a matter of numbers tweaks?

I honestly don't know how Riot out does themselves after the 2 best patches in the games history.

Except hang back and play wack a mole when serious problems arise till the next card expansion.

Once again good job Riot, you took risks, you pissed some people off, but you leveled the numbers and thats no easy task.

Imagine this play scenario, you have heimer on board:

1. You play an 8 mana production surge

2. Your opponent plays deny

Your opponent has played a 4 mana card to stop something like 13 mana worth of tempo of you include Heimer himself.

This is instantly game losing.

Now under the rules change:

1. You play production sirge

2. Opponent plays deny

3. You get 1 8/8 but their deny still trades up in 4 mana value

------

It is my oppinion that this isn't a skill gap issue its a champion balance issue.

Should of just played a champ that doesn't suck, and then you could climb.

Well under the rules change even low tier Champs like Heimer are now playable on a somewhat even playing field.

People will point to Ezreal and go see, see. 

But ezreal Catlyn went up like 2% total.

Its just whiny streamer players that are upset that deny isn't a catch all card anymore and that wincons ie. Champs that need to be good for the game to be fun.

Are now actually good again. Same as I've been saying for almost a year now.

https://app.mobalytics.gg/lor/meta-tier-list

They got rid of all the garbage Swim picks.

Now it's essentially exactly what it should be.

We have pirate aggro as tier 1 has been for 2 years honestly.

We have Jayce sentinels that Asian deck that is the strongest control list.

Viktor, Overwhelm, Scouts all good proven decks.

Tier 2 is equally strong, with Ezreal, Pantheon, Discard, yordle stuff, Ziggs, spiders

Tier 3: galio, sundisc, Lurk, darkness, Azir Irelia

-------------

This is a perfect tier list and I agree with every single pick.

Its also a very healthy brewing meta where you can build decks and pilot them effectively.

So very happy patch 1 and patch 2 giga edition both wins for the LOR team.

Good stuff guys 

Currently meta stats are far too volatile with small sample sizes to offer reliable data.

However early trends are rising up, namely control is receiving a numbers boost putting it on par with aggro for the first time ever in LOR.

This will be contentious for many players, but from my perspective if an aggro deck or tempo deck can reliably hit a 57% winrate why not control?

Thats how other card games work where these things are supposed to be balanced, and if anything gets too strong just nerf those cards individually. 

So the "cancer" rule change actually turned out to be a vaccine of sorts, creating true statistical number parity between archetypes at both ends of the spectrum.

The second prediction is that region balance remains mostly unchanged with Frijord performing the worst overall.

Third prediction the champ changes while nice won't lead to any new archetypes becoming top tier.

Thats it from me what do you guys think?
