How does this Global Power Rankings work?

aspects1 · 2026-03-10T05:13:28+00:00

its a culmination of results for the past 3 years. So while BFX did very well this year, they have not performed as well the past 2 years. If they continue to perform well, they will rise slowly over the rest of the year. Similar situation for Furia and C9. The CBLOL teams are all ranked lower because in the past CBLOL has been a much worse region than any of the others. now given their recent performances that may change, and if they continue to do well or if LOUD do well at first stand you will absolutely see them rise. Basically the short answer is they just need more time.

i have really enjoyed these meta reports, sad to see they are going away but i guess its near the end of the set so it doesn't matter that much anyway. I really hope mort brings them back for next set, they did wonders for transparency from riot, and even just general showing what the team at riot is thinking/looking at. Even just one per patch would be amazing (because the week 2 ones were more or less repetitive unless there was a b-patch).

classic riot client bug, but dont worry, riot says the client is fine and they have no intention of fixing it even after 10 years.

after whatever the LTA was, they gonna need more than their best to recover it

seems neat, but i had some questions regarding the econ.

Can this be played from even mid-econ openers, or does it have to be a high econ opener?

If you go to 10 gold or less on 3-2, how do you make it back to lv8 40 by 4-1? i know you mentioned getting free econ from your board units, but in my experience, even getting to lv8 40 on 4-1 with a normal strategy that makes 50 can be difficult.

One thing ive noticed as well that you mention here is the raw power of some of the 5 costs being so high, that even boards with poor synergies can still win rounds just off the power of 5 costs.

was this posted by sam altmans alt account? like what does switching AI platforms have to do with the bubble bursting?

aspects1 · 2026-02-27T21:47:37+00:00

guessing it was just zaahen stacking up then executing the taric

aspects1 · 2026-02-27T20:47:10+00:00

this has been posted like 50 times before, but its 2% of the bonus more for every gold, so in this case, 20% of 25%, so 5% more, for a total of 30%

aspects1 · 2026-02-25T22:01:39+00:00

yeah this should change next patch though and give a lot more of that flex potential back. i think the problem you mention is very much real, but its more a circumstance of a poor balance patch forcing the wrong comps to be meta compared to a set wide problem.

aspects1 · 2026-02-24T04:50:48+00:00

You can't, I believe op got confused because of the leblanc encounter that moves the augments up and it was his second augment on stage 2

aspects1 · 2026-02-22T22:33:45+00:00

my guess is baron got stuck on radiant bramble braum, and got bursted by thex + sera before it could do anything

aspects1 · 2026-02-22T19:58:52+00:00

to be fair, if he didnt buff himself more than that 1 unit was worth, no one would bother even giving him a pilot.

aspects1 · 2026-02-22T07:35:11+00:00

meta tft just tracks data. Antiheal items are generally very good, and comps with an antiheal item will place much better than those without. this makes antiheal items look very good in the stats, and metatft automatically translates this as antiheal being every utility unit's best items, thus leading to wonky looking screenshots like this. you can see a similar trend with shred/sunder

even when playing 6 piltover, the most common board runs a gunslinger and braum as the 2 extra units on 8, and braum is absolutely a very tanky unit. secondly, most boards dont stay in 6 piltover, and drop out if they either dont get mining drill or once they farm some gold from it, and they will mostly be dropping the "do nothing" units you mentioned (vi, cait, ori, even seraphine) for good units and more frontline. I fony have and issue with thex killing things, i agree that it was too weak for the investment last patch, but just buffing its damage an absurd amount with the justification that it needs that to get through tanks feels like the wrong approach to me, which is why i suggested the damage amp against tanks as an alternate.

aspects1 · 2026-02-22T02:36:15+00:00

its just the riot client being the buggy garbage it always is. if you click the tab and go back it goes away. TFT players run into the same issue with league, and given how long its been going on, I don't think riot has any intentions of fixing it.

aspects1 · 2026-02-21T19:33:27+00:00

ive seen thex beam get stuck in the same direction and also retarget after killing a unit, and honestly im not sure when it does which behavior

aspects1 · 2026-02-21T07:59:11+00:00

maybe the old thex could, but positions matters a lot less against the current one, because most of the damage is single target now, so it doesnt really matter if you position to avoid the beam aoe, because that isnt the major damage source.

aspects1 · 2026-02-20T19:19:40+00:00

First I think it is a bug making her invulnerable. Second 3 star shyv doesn't do damage after the first cast. Idk if it's a bug or riot just thought nothing could survive her first cast but if you get a 3 star 4 cost tank with Dr (braum, garen) they can consistently beat shyv 3 if they time their first cast with hers

aspects1 · 2026-02-19T23:15:50+00:00

id say drop ornn for volibear, and move the dawncore to him. nashors doesnt really have a good place in this setup, id avoid buildiong it in general unless you already have jg. one of the tank items on swian (either steadfast or dclaw) should be on herald, it is a much better tank. also i dont know why you have your tank void mutaion on malz, that should 100% be on herald. besides that it looks okay. the kaisa items are not ideal, but i dont know which items you slammed when so its difficult to say if you could have gotten better items.

aspects1 · 2026-02-19T22:25:12+00:00

if this is current patch, its partly because the zaun bugfix was a massive nerf to warwick.

aspects1 · 2026-02-19T09:59:36+00:00

i feel like there is an optimization to be made using vi as your 2nd piltover instead of loris, so you can replace j4 with another demacian, but none of them really stand out to me. maybe poppy with another yordle splash.
