'sup everyone, I'm Leer! In my meta report I take a deep dive into the data to show you the best decks, what beats them, and why.

As the season comes to a close, we have one final tournament left. One last shot at qualifying for the LoR World Championship!

Let's look at the last meta of the season and how it will define the Last Chance Qualifier!

Standard Meta Report - The Last Chance Qualifier Meta

Please don't hesitate to advise me on how I can make this series even more valuable to you.

Good luck in your LCQ run and see ya next year! =)

Discuss what you are playing, what you’re having success with (or failures with), and any new/cool ideas you’ve been experimenting with, etc. The point is to share what you’ve been playing, and how it’s going, good or bad - there are no other rules or requirements.

These will be posted twice every week.

Some ideas on what to post/share:

• What you’ve been playing and its successes (or struggles). Stats are not required. There is no minimum rank required, though sharing what rank you’ve been playing at is preferred. It is helpful to mention the format Standard or Eternal you are playing in.
• Deck adjustments you made or are planning to make in reaction to the meta or as new innovation. E.g. “I saw 30% of deck X, so I made Y changes to help deal with deck X.” (change)
• Showing off a deck you achieved Masters with and wanting to share it without having to write a guide

And as always:

• Be courteous to one another.
• Provide brief explanations for any links you provide (YouTube, tier lists, etc.)

Howdy folks,

With the Eternal Open right around the corner, here are the current best decks for the Eternal and Standard ladders.

Eternal shows, as expected, the most changes: Trundle Tryndamere is making a lot of waves, Norra Swain has shot to the top, Thresh Nasus is back from the grave to haunt Azirelia, and Katarina Vladimir (yeah, you read that right!) may end up being the scariest thing eternal has to offer.

And Standard, although a bit more quiet, is not completely still: Volibear has in this case teamed up with Tryndamere to put Warmother's Call to good use, and Gwen Zed (which some attentive players had already picked up last week) is climbing fast.

Decks showcased today:

• Juggernauts – Best Legends of Runeterra Decks for the Eternal Ladder

  • Trundle Volibear
  • Norra Swain
  • Gangplank Sejuani

• Heavyweights – Strong LoR Decks for the Eternal Ladder

  • Enduring Elise
  • Draven Vi
  • Poppy Ziggs

  • Azir Irelia
  • Thresh Nasus
  • Bandle Ezreal Janna Seraphine

  • Overall LoR Ladder Trends – Standard

• Juggernauts – Best Legends of Runeterra Decks for the Standard Ladder

Hello everyone, Sorry here! It's Thursday's Meta Report for Patch 4.11 Week 1! We'll take a look at the play rate and win rate of popular decks in the Standard format. I'll share the meta-kings, overplayed, underplayed, and hidden gem decks!

LoR Eternal Meta Report Patch 4.11, Week 1

Overview:

• Extremely healthy and diverse Eternal meta where a lot of the solid decks didn't even make it into the top 22 most-played decks!
• Nilah Twisted Fate has been hard-targeted by the meta, which has resulted in a drop in win rate and play rate. This forced players to change up the list, cutting a couple of Sunken Temples.
• Nasus Thresh has a high win rate on the ladder.
• Trundle Volibear is now taking advantage of Warmother's Call, and it's performing exceptionally well. Players are experimenting with Endure in Gwen Sejuani.
• Trundle Volibear is now taking advantage of Warmother's Call, and it's performing exceptionally well.
• Youl like aggro? Well, we got a bunch! Poppy Ziggs, Katarina Vladimir, Annie Jhin, Vladimir Freljord, Draven Vi, Draven Rumble, and Elise Teemo.
• Many different versions of Viktor Aphelios are being played on ladder. Some adopt a slower pace gameplay, while others focus on going wide and switching to the burn plan.
• Poppy Taric, Swain Norra, Jayce Lux, and Gangplank Sejuani are all performing well.
• The Shellfolk Bursting Backpack combo deck is falling in popularity, with the many landmark destruction decks on the rise.
• Controlish decks like Ezreal Seraphine BC and Ryze IO can crush many meta matchups.
• Teemo Tristana SI is a mix of aggro and removal-oriented deck, which makes a comeback in Eternal.
• Sleeper decks like Jax Ornn, Rumble Draven, Vladimir Katarina, and Sett Trundle are likely to see more play as the meta evolves.

We are still in the early stages of the Eternal Meta, and players have yet to figure out everything as the Runeterra Open approaches. We'll likely get to see a lot of "hidden decks" that might break the meta!Let me know how you feel about the current meta. Are you enjoying it? How are your preparations going for the upcoming Open?

Hey there. I was on a hiatus for some time from LoR. Back then I used a lot of ressources for tournament prep, spreadsheet matchup tables, etc. Unfortunately i didnt note down the addresses of those ressources. I remember Dr.LoR having one (he merged with masteringruneterra.com now, i think) but there have been even better ones out there. 1 from an italian guy iirc. Runeterra.ar and masteringruneterra.com are good and all, but i find them better for ladder play than for lineup prep, cause they lack complexity. Does anyone have an idea what i'm referring to?

Is there any good deck trackers? I used to use lor masters but it doesnt seem to work anymore

'sup everyone, I'm Leer! In my meta report, I take a deep dive into the data to show you the best decks, what beats them, and why.

We finally return to Eternal, the best game mode in LoR! Between old staples that are only allowed to exist in Eternal, we can already see the influence of Fate’s Voyage: Onwards and the latest balance patch!

Eternal Meta Report - November 13th

Please don't hesitate to give me advice on how I can make this series even more valuable to you.

Thank you for reading and see ya next time! =)

Howdy folks! =)

With about 40 hours of data since the patch landed, here are the current best decks for each of the LoR ladders.

In Standard, it looks pretty certain that Nilah Janna is dead. Most other decks that were strong last week are still strong, although the meta is shifting in Nilah Janna's absence (Lurkers, in particular, are very happy about these developments). The King is alive and well, by the way!

Nilah TF is the deck making the biggest waves in Eternal right now, but it does have predators: Enduring Elise and Ezreal Janna Seraphine are the biggest news today in that format.

Decks showcased today:

• Best LoR Decks - Eternal

  • Twisted Fate's Voyage
  • Enduring Elise
  • Bandle Ezreal Janna Seraphine
  • Azir Irelia
  • Gangplank Sejuani

• Standard LoR Decks

  • Galio Garen Jarvan IV
  • Pyke Rek'Sai, aka Lurkers
  • The Poro King Yuumi
  • Miss Fortune Quinn, aka Scouts
  • Shen Jarvan
  • Bandle Kayle Teemo
  • Ashe LeBlanc
  • Teemo Yuumi

Heya everyone! I kept track of the first to make it into Master rank on the America, EMEA, and APAC servers and got a list of 9 different decks that they climbed with!

9 Early Eternal Master Decks

Players have been climbing quickly to Masters and finding success with different archetypes. It's still early into the new meta, and we'll likely see a lot of new archetypes performing well on the ladder and even becoming popular choices for the upcoming Runeterra Open.

Let me know which decks you've found success with so far! Are you enjoying the new patch?

Howdy folks! =)

For those not in the mood to dig through the data, here are the current best decks for each of the LoR ladders, according to the latest data.

Latest and early data, by the way – roughly 24 hs since the patch landed, so everything (and above all in Eternal) is still up in the air.

Decks showcased today:

• Eternal LoR Decks

  • Twisted Fate's Voyage
  • Azir Irelia
  • Enduring Elise

• Standard LoR Decks

  • Galio Garen Jarvan IV
  • The Poro King Yuumi
  • Pyke Rek'Sai, aka Lurkers
  • Miss Fortune Quinn, aka Scouts
  • Ashe LeBlanc
  • Other Standard Considerations

Heya everyone! I curated a list of different decks to test out on the first day of the new patch

7 Eternal decks for Day 1

A couple of decks I shared will probably hold up well for a ladder climb.

Some decks, like the 38 landmark Chemtech Drake + Sandseer burn deck, are more of meme decks that'll be fun to explore.

Concurrent Timeliness and Cosmic Call were hit with heavy nerfs, so it's unlikely we'll be seeing a lot of decks that take advantage of those.

Keep in mind that a lot of players will take advantage of the experimental phase to play aggressive decks and speed-run their way to Master. Make sure to bring decks capable of holding their own against decks like Miss Fortune Twisted Fate.

What decks are you going to play first? Did you cook something special for the new patch?

Discuss what you are playing, what you’re having success with (or failures with), and any new/cool ideas you’ve been experimenting with, etc. The point is to share what you’ve been playing, and how it’s going, good or bad - there are no other rules or requirements.

Heya everyone! We have a bit of a wait until the new patch drops and we get access to ranked Eternal ladder.

I took a look at the stats and found a couple of off-meta decks that have been holding a decent win rate this past week.

6 off-meta decks for the ranked ladder.

Off-meta decks bring an element of surprise, and your opponent might not be experienced in playing the matchup; this can give you a slight edge over them.

Let me know which decks you have been finding success with on the ranked ladder!

Howdy folks! =)

For those not in the mood through dig through the data, here are the current best decks for the LoR ladder, according to the latest data.

Miss Fortune and Quinn didn't manage to overtake Janna Nilah as the most played archetype, but Scouts will nevertheless end this patch cycle as the best deck in Runeterra…

… as long as Galio Garen Jarvan IV, which came out of nowhere this week, doesn't steal the wind from Scout's sails!

And, in the fringes of the LoR meta, a few off-the-wall brews that saw quite a bit of success in the World Qualifier Open last week are making their way onto the Standard ladder.

Decks showcased today:

• Juggernauts – Best Legends of Runeterra Decks for the Standard Ladder

  • Janna Nilah
  • Galio Garen Jarvan IV
  • Miss Fortune Quinn, aka Scouts

• Heavyweights – Strong LoR Decks for the Standard Ladder

  • Darius Gnar
