Juggernauts: LoR decks with more than 2100 games – these are the best tried-and-true, top meta decks in Legends of Runeterra at the time of writing.And, whenever we talk about LoR decks in general, or best Legends of Runeterra decks in particular, we'll always be referring to specific lists (while reserving "archetype" to denominate the aggregate of all decks with a particular champion pair).Īnd, since in each archetype some decks fare better than others (and sometimes the difference is quite noticeable), we'll broadly group the best LoR decks in arbitrary categories by the number of games played in the data samples we check: In this article, we'll sort these decks by the best specific decklist for each archetype. Most data sites (including our LoR Meta Tier List, and our meta stats page) and articles like Leer's Legends of Runeterra Meta Decks Report sort LoR meta decks by archetype ("Archetype" being the aggregate of all decks in LoR with a specific champion combination) – that's also how matchup tables are shown in pretty much all data sites. That also means there's still a lot of weak brews donating LPs to strong decks we are still a long way for the LoR meta to settle down, and some of the current Top Dogs may see a dip in their performance one the easy prey leave the race, and only the tough competition remains. Last but not least: In yet another accolade for this expansion, there's a lot of brewing going on. Samira Volibear and Lissandra Volibear both look pretty awful right now – they would need a lot of successful tweaks to become playable.

Something similar happens with Janna Targon, Janna Seraphine, and Janna Volibear: they have several different versions, but the best they can do as of now is get to about 47%. That being said, neither of these can get past a subpar 47-48% winrate, and therefore I wouldn't recommend them as your weapons of choice for the ladder.Īurelion Sol Volibear is massively popular, but none of its versions are performing, and this has been true since the expansion landed. On the other hand, though, several Old Dogs have a massive edge on the big bear and the stony statue: Heimer Jayce and Lurkers run circles around them, Teemo Elusives is close to auto-lose by CCG standards (nearly 80% odds for the pesky, puffcapfy scout), and other popular decks like Wild Annie Samira and Gwen Vayne also prey upon Galio Volibear.įurther reading: Galio Volibear Deck Guideįirst caveat to mention here: Nilah Samira, which last week was part of this "Not Working Too Well" category, has found its footing and we'll find it at the top of the next section, kicking butts and taking names – in other words, any of these decks may just be a couple of tweaks away from working very well. Galio Volibear is also favored against one of this week's hot trends: Gnar Jarvan.

The best Galio Volibear deck is also heads and shoulders above all the other new champions when it comes to matches against themselves – if you were to organize a competition in which only decks with at least one new champs are allowed, Galio Volibear seems like the best bet to take the crown: it roflstomps Janna Nilah and Illaoi Volibear, has a solid edge versus Janna Samira, and beats all other brews featuring new champs. As Yangzera notes in his Galio Volibear deck guide, the addition of great cards has really turned it into a Formidable package.

When looking at specific decklists, Galio Volibear remains the deck to beat when it comes to popularity: A record-smashing 11,600 games played in the last three days – more than double what the next contender shows – while remaining among the hardest-hitting brews out there, hitting at a 56% win rate, which is amazing for a deck with such a high play rate.
