Meta Snapshot #1: Call of the Mountain

Sadly, the 2nd Call of the Mountain expansion has not shaken the meta terribly much. Still, a few new decks were introduced with the new champions Soraka, Tahm Kench, and Shyvana, though they have had limited effectiveness so far.

Overall, the Frontrunners are much the same as they were before, with Warmother, Swain/Twisted Fate, Combo Lee Sin and Pirate Aggro being rather dominant, and MF/Scouts making a resurgence. Still, Runner-Ups remain powerful options which can take down any of them, and the metagame remains rather diverse on ladder.

Welcome to Team Aretuza’s first Legends of Runeterra Meta Snapshot!

Here we attempt to provide a list of some of the best decks currently seeing play on the ranked ladder in order for you to heighten your understanding of the metagame, win more games, and climb the ranks. Attached to each deck is its decklist, a short explanation of its concept, its core cards, and a few tech considerations. We’ll be sure to update the Snapshot as the meta continues to evolve, and once the next balance patch is introduced.

Updates will also be announced on the Team Aretuza Discord Community, where you can also chat to Team Aretuza members and ask questions about decks, gameplay, and how to optimise your chances of climbing.
