The most popular meta lines for the patch are included here. Use the tier list to see all lines. Tips for the patch:

  • New
    Recently Updated
    Slowly working on Set 16 for the website. It will take a while to get many of the comps that are available in Set 16. It will also take a few days for the unlocks to show properly. Expect rapid updates.

    Recently Updated
    Most of the early meta has been Ryze boards, but those along with Yordles 2 piece AS bonus will get hit in today's patch (see the notes in the button which will get updated each day of PBE).

    There will almost certainly be mistakes or less than ideal information in some of the comp guides. Leave a comment if you spot any — It helps a lot!

    Going to sleep for a few hours … Today was generally a good day, got a lot of technical work done such as supporting Void mutations, Baron Geddon taking up 2 slots and providing 2 Void, Noxus summon, Freljord summon, and also laid out most of the groundwork for getting unlock conditions programmatically added to and updated on the website. At the same time, was able to add 20 compositions and learn a great deal about the set and the general PBE meta right now. Many more comps are to come. But for now … 💤

    PBE has been fun and can’t wait to see your take on everything ^^

    Did a quick pass for Patch 15.9 — This is the last patch of Set 15 and Set 7.5 Revival before Set 16 goes onto the live servers. Over the next few days, you can expect the set 15 guide that is currently on the home page to move over to another page as this eventually gets Set 16 comps to prepare for launch. Hope you all are enjoying the PBE so far if you are playing and if not, I hope you’re excited for launch.
