Hey there, its me again. I made a little graph to visualize the meta, hope you enjoy!
How to read: X-axis shows playrate on a logarithmic scale, Y-axis winrate. Size of circles shows change in winrate since last patch.
^(Note that the winrate average is around 51.5% since I only take into account plat+ games.)
Toplane meta looks really diversified. Some niche picks (top left) are hitting stats that are not healthy, but as I said, niche picks. On the side of >1% playrate, no big changes happened. On the nichepick side, ASol is going nuts, but... Who plays ASol anyways?
Jungle also has a really diversified meta. On the >1% playrate side, Olaf lost 5% winrate, pantheon even 9%.
Midlane is the most scattered meta by far. On the >1% pickrate side, Seraphine lost her dominant position, and on the <1% pickrate side, some niche picks are approaching.
Botlane meta is the smallest since a long time. But new Champions like Vayne, Senna, Samira and Ezreal are getting more popular, threatening to kick Kai'Sa from her throne.
Support has a really big, scattered meta. On the niche pick side Ivern and Ziggs are making big changes, lets see what happens next.
Really nice infographic. I do wonder what convinces people to play Asol top, and I was thinking of trying him there. I suppose it's because of his decent self peel and capabilities of surviving in a side lane thanks to his more battle mage playstyle.
I play Asol top into most juggernauts like Urgot and Garen.
Shits funny as you kite them to death. I slaughtered a Urgot the other day and he could catch me. He was so tilted he tried to e flash randomly only to fail and die
I get Rylais after Liandries to make em suffer more
That and you can very quickly get back to lane without TP as the e cd is so short.
Probably the fact that toplane items are shit
Bruisers can't itemize Mr well. Asol can kite juggernauts easily and chase them down in the longer lane. He can also spam roam mid. I assume Mundo top would be a good counter.
Bruisers can't itemize mr well bc their items are shit, yes. In addition to mr items in general being shit
