New Meta For Season Of Fortune

I'll be honest I'm pretty luke warm about the predictions for the new season.

It's a lot of elusives, and burn in tier 1, along with Heimer that also just generates elusives.

That being said what isn't there is very healthy with endure and yoink dropping down to Tier 2.

The good news is that it's pretty easy to tech against aggro, especially if you're running shadow isles anyway.

Let me know what you guys think, again not endorsing these opinions so don't hate on me, just passing on the info for the hardcore.

  • Aggro is always good during a new patch, things will eventually settle down, but you will have to learn to play against aggro. It's a style of play that will never go away due to the quick games and easy climb. Another deck that you should get use to facing is Kinkou Elusives as this deck was never nerfed. It just faded away when burn got overbuffed. It's no surprise to see Kinkou Elusives #1 again with it's anti-decks taking up the rest of Tier 1. Burn and Heimer deck.

    Endure went down in tier because Escaped Abomination went from 4 health to 3 health. Which is a big deal! The They Who Endure nerf is present, but not too serious. This deck is just too slow against Kinkou Elusives as they will counter any removal you have and hit you with units that Endure can't block. Smart Elusive players %100 mulls Zed and all (non-elusive units). Deny counters any hard removal, Elixir of Iron stop any damage based removal. And Will of Ionia is a pain in your butt. 

  • Yep Kinkou elusives is a very strong a flexible deck. You can even drop the 7 mana hatchling if it bricks your hand, and cut out zed if you feel like he's not getting past chump blockers, and it makes no difference to how the deck plays and it's relative strengths, or you just run the new crimson elusive burn. With all that being said, I don't find the top tier aggro decks oppressive at all, not like before when burn aggro was everywhere.

  • If my games last night are representative of what Season of Fortune will be like, the meta we'll see will be:

    • Braum + Vladimir battlescars
    • Braum + Sejuani tempo/buffs
    • Braum + Lux poros
    • Nautilus Deep

  • Yuuuup lol. Funny stuff, I did say before that braum vlad was gonna be really good, people weren't thrilled.
