Once Season 9 kicks off, players will be introduced to separate rankings for each role. This means specializing in a specific role won't be as effective as specializing in a set of champions that can fulfill a large variety of roles. Luckily, with the meta shifts Riot is promoting lately, almost anything is possible...
Which champions will be the most effective in Season 9? Check out our top 10 prediction picks below!
Fiddlesticks in the current meta has a ton of cool stuff going for him. Not only were shield supports nerfed, but he's also got some new rune setups that turn as they turn out, are incredible for him in all regards. Where he used to be somewhat of a troll support, he's now known as one of the strongest in the game.
Just yesterday, the new hotfix changes went down, resulting in a number of changes to marksmen and marksmen items. Meanwhile, a small change to Aatrox came bundled with a strange, but fascinatingly undocumented bug...Aatrox's Q applying on-hit effects like Dark Harvest and Sheen...
In a completely zany meta that brings back strategies we haven't seen since Season 1 and 2, players are trying out more things than ever before and push League to its limits. While some champions are certainly getting more love than others, it's almost a free-for-all bot lane where anything goes.
Here in the current meta, we're still seeing a lot of bruisers bot lane. However, it's supplemented with a few AP mages such as Brand and Vladimir as well. Meanwhile, the nerfs to Master Yi, Irelia, and Lucian certainly aren't stopping people from heavily playing them. This may mean there are some secret OPs lurking around that haven't been touched...
Nerfs this round to Lucian, Irelia, and Master Yi are certainly showing their weight. Meanwhile, nerfs to Zoe didn't do much, especially since she does particularly well against the majority of meta picks. Meanwhile, Yasuo continues to be the hottest ban at all tiers but only really performs consistently well at lower levels.
It all started years ago with the advent of the Master Yi + Kayle duo combo where Master Yi would soak all the exp and minions from jungle and lane, resulting in an unstoppable farm machine. Next, this year brought us the Master Yi + Taric farm combo, leading players to ask themselves, what other zany combos could they pull off?
