The Midrange Meta Is Back

Title pretty much says it all.

If you're still a mobalytics slave you might think that bandle tree is the best deck in the game post nerfs.

But honestly I haven't seen a single person play it, people were running bandle aggro for a while post nerfs but it seems people have learned it doesn't work. Zed poppy who cares.

We get lots of dragons, and for good reason it s a strong deck, lots of Veigar Senna, it's a strong control list

But the real surprise here is that midrange is just freaking good again. Any sort of deck that is flexible, can deal with early threats, play scary midrange stuff, and yes maybe even go over the top with an Asol or other crazy win con.

Those decks are the best to climb with right now...it's not sexy, it's not gonna show up all over mobalytics, but honestly I would feel more confident playing a dumb Braun deck right now, then anything in the tier 1 recommendations.

Thats just where we are at, like Mogwai was playing pursuit of perfection for christ sake, literally dumbest win con there is, and that's because midrange lists with late game payoffs are that strong.

Grappler was playing a discard deck with Viktor, because...midrange. honestly, I love it, it's fantastic, everyone can play they want and win how they want.

The Viktor/Draven deck actually managed to reach rank 1 in NA masters. I am definitely giving that one a try.

I think thats the point that its no where on the tier list and youre better off climbing with any random midrange list you're comfortable with right now.

Or you can always wait for other people to do it for you, and climb with their deck instead. Someone always has to pave the way creatively.

When it comes to deck building, LOR is no Magic: The Gathering. The synergies are much more obvious and restrictive and barring a few tech choice your list is not gonna be that different from other players. Unless  your into the more meme stuff then you get pretty creative there.

Umm if you say so you should look at my decks lol.

Everything is off meta and powerful and unique.

But youre right most people are meta slaves.

Now I just looked at the play rates of mobalgtics and they are at an all time low since the patch about 1.5% is the highest.

Which implies nobody is playing tier list decks post patch, because they are bad during this midrange meta.

If you dont build your own lists you're at huge disadvantage right now.
