NEW B-Patch Rundown | Changes in the Meta
1) NEW 7 Meeple
The Meeple trait got reworked at 5 and 7 breakpoints.
With more strength at 7 players are finding it easier to play reroll comps like Gnar reroll as it’s easier to stay on 7 until you clone your 3* Gnar.
The default Corki board still seems to be 5 Meeple Riven, Galio but with the option to play 7 to go for a 3* Rammus/Corki a win-out will be more available.

4) Challenger Jinx
In the same vein another comp that benefits off Akali buffs is Jinx reroll.
This comp has multiple carries depending on what you hit first so make sure you pick up a lot of item augments/space gods and plan around it.
Your best carries will be Jinx Akali but make sure you pick up tank items for Jax as well.

5) Replicator Miss Fortune
Even though this comp has below average stats (Challenger MF is best) and a rather low play rate we still wanted to highlight this comp as it’s the first time Replicator MF has seen any relevance in the meta.
You play 4 Replicator to maximize damage and the duo carry Lulu. Due to the nature of how Replicator works, 4 Replicator does not work unless you have 2-3 Replicator carries doing damage like in this setup.
On the APAC server some players are using Sniper’s Focus or Sniper Emblems on MF to abuse the fact that her ability reaches all the way into the backline. It’s an interesting tactic to think about.

6) APAC Meta Read
Brawler Yi was played the most in AMER (32) out of all regions yet APAC had by far the highest AVP (4.22) for it compared to the rest (AMER 4.88, EMEA 4.67).
Corki was also 3rd most played comp overall, yet it had disastrous stats:
93 games played but only a 2.2% top 4 rate with a 4.78 AVP.
Gnar Reroll outperformed Corki across all regions EXCEPT AMER. In APAC however it had the most playrate (11) AND had an absurd AVP of 3.82 vs 5.22 AMER and 4.33 EMEA
This makes surprising sense when you remember Gnar Reroll was first created and spread by a JP player, which suggests the region has a better understanding of the comp that wasn’t as widespread across the globe.

5 Shepherd LB | Are you still playing the OLD LeBlanc?
The standard 4 Vanguard LeBlanc Karma carry has fallen out of favor
Zoe 2 being so strong was the main reason the old variation worked. Without the cheap duo carry you have no reason to play Morde, Zoe and 3 Arbiter.
5 Shepherd is stronger on 8 and has many different units you can play.

AUGMENTS
Like all comps, you’re going to want an econ augment on 2-1 or some way to tempo into Lv.8. Getting a Leona 3 off an augment is a really good direction as it allows you to also take a combat Arbiter.
Emblem augments are also strong if you can hit Voyager, Shepherd, Arbiter, Vanguard or Psionic.
