Final Thoughts
The above is subject to change as the set goes on. Stuff like Diana and T-Hex have already completely fallen out of the meta, but they may return in later patches. Stuff like Tryndamere is very weak right now but will probably come back before the set is over. Otherwise, most of the above is stuff that will be patch agnostic. Good luck with your climb!
