I’ve noticed that the ‘Elusives Rally’ deck that has just been updated has changed from Lulu/Poppy to Zed/Poppy. Thanks for reading!įantastic job on making and updating these tier list decks frequently. However, as the meta stabilizes and diversifies, we can expect a lot of changes in the coming days, and we will keep the Tier List updated. Overall, the entire current environment revolves around Dragons because of how popular they are since their buffs. While Draven Sion isn’t the most played archetype anymore – because of its nerfs and the excitement around other archetypes – but it still holds a very high win rate. Other Poppy aggro archetypes, however, struggle a bit more with the nerfs and so they have fallen down to Tier 2. If your goal is to climb fast, this is the deck I would recommend. However, Pokrovac showed the deck still got what it takes to be a Tier 1 contender – he is the first player to reach Master this season after an 18-1 run with the deck.Īmong Poppy aggro decks, Yordle Burn is the least affected one from the nerfs – it simply replaces Tenor of Terror with Lecturing Yordle, and continues to dominate the meta. Gangplank TF Bandle had an uncertain future because of the nerf to Tenor of Terror, leading to a big drop in play rate so far. Darkness is in a similar spot, showing disappointing results despite Dess & Ada’s buff. I expect it to get back its Tier 1 spot when the meta stabilizes though. I was expecting Gangplank Sejuani to be a winner from the patch, but for now, it doesn’t perform as well as expected in the Dragon-centric meta and drops to Tier 2. On the other end, decks that are weak against Dragons are not having a great time. This deck also benefits from the temporary drop in Draven Sion’s popularity and therefore earns its place in Tier 1 as well.
Sivir Demacia is also doing pretty good against Dragons, with a 60% win rate into it. Lurk is the most screaming example, climbing to Tier 1 thanks to its 74.5% win rate against Dragons. With Dragons being so dominant, decks that are good into it are showing up on the ladder. The deck gets a Tier 1 Staple status in this early meta, and players will now have to adapt to its presence. The change to Dragon’s Clutch makes Dragons feel like a completely new deck, and all the other buffs make the deck’s early draws a lot smoother. The deck definitely lived up to the expectations, showing a great win rate, all the while being the most popular archetype. With numerous buffs, Dragons was the most hyped-up archetype coming into the patch. Zoe Nami has been completely removed, and Dragons is by far the most prominent addition to the ladder environment.
The 2.18 balance patch has been very impactful on the meta. Click ‘Deck Guide’ to check out our most recent in-depth article about the archetype.
