    The general meta in Patch 17.5 has not changed much, BUT it looks more balanced than before. Space Groove is not as busted as it was in Patch 17.4b and the patch doesn't look like it killed any previously viable lines.

    The largest uptick for the patch are Meeple printing comps like Veigar and Gnar. The buff to 7 Meeple likely made Stage 4 for these comps much more stable, along with the buff to Veigar himself. Stats look better on these comps for now despite the nerf to 5 Meeple and the Rammus adjustment.

    Leona printing strategies have become less prevalent in Patch 17.5 after the corresponding Arbiter effects.

    Serpent went from being the best Stargazer to Xayah to "okay". It looks practically unplayable for other Stargazer comps.

    Jinx reroll with Primordians or NOVA units (rather than exclusively with Jax) started seeing an uptick toward the end of last patch and that trend is continuing into this patch, especially with the Kindred buff.

    Your website is absolutely goated, but youre also working on an Overlay? If thats the case then that would be so helpful! Looks like i need to support u through Patreon since ur solo-ing this entire project

    Bạn có thể thêm Tiếng Việt được không ? Tôi rất thích trang web này

      I’d like to add translations in the future, including Vietnamese, but it’s a major project and I’m already overwhelmed as is with how much work I need to do. I would like to get as much of the website and overlay “done” as possible before I consider translations, especially since I know that at least Google translate can SOMEWHAT provide help (even if it’s not great).

      1. CryoPyroGenetics

        Have you considered adding a way for community contributions for translations? Translations for indie games are often done through community help, might be able to do a similar case here. On the other hand, maybe not, seeing how often the site updates; Maybe for at least the core stuff, like item names and augment names, etc…, the stuff that stays static for the most part.

        hi i also recommend community contributions for translation with maybe a regulatory body to support it 🙂

    Love the Website!! been using for a LOOOONG time! Appeciate your work!.
    Post 6/7th June.
    Played the Conduit Viktor + MF reroll Comp (just sorta fell into it). Viktor from shop at 2.1, followed by an early ornn – Mid game 3 star viktor (Nashors,JG,Archangel), Late 3 Star MF with Bluebuff/IE + Snipers Focus from Artifact anvil (3rd Augment), VERY LATE ornn 3 + Malph 3…(both with 3 tank items each). Finished with 1st Place. the final board was just WAY too strong with the beefy frontline + Snipers focus MF. personal opinion – its S tier.
    p.s. MF & Viktor were uncontested, however Ornn was heavily contested. did not get a Bard. but ended with a 2*Sona instead which worked well.

    Hey Blue, why is Mech Aurelion Sol the main version in Academy now? Which version is the best to play by default: Mech or non-Mech Aurelion Sol?

    Have you taken a look at pyke/gwen reroll stats, it looks a bit better than D tier I think

    1. Author avatarGM Blue

      Yeah I’ve seen both Dishsoap and Wasian play it unironically, so it’s definitely not actual D-tier. I guess I’ll move it up to C. Still a trash comp though, would only play from very specific circumstances

    Blue I was just wondering if you were gonna make 1,2,3 cost/early build tier list like you did for last set, it helped a lot and it is a bit unfortunate that it’s missing

    1. Author avatarGM Blue

      Probably not this set. I want it to have its own dedicated page on the site, but I am not actively developing it currently. It’s on my radar, just needed a break from “executing the masterplan” so will just need to wait a little. Appreciate the patience 🙂

      1. ariashark

        very keen for this once it comes back! youve done a lot of work so far though so enjoy the rest (if you can call it that)

    Gnar when?

      1. Beamer

        good website Blue ty!

    EDIT: Space Groove comps look noticeably better. Not solved for best boards yet or how playable they are without emblem.

    The B-Patch didn’t particularly change the overall meta too much from what I’ve observed other than Leona printer being less prominent. Generally just looks like a better patch.
