Patch 16.1b Guide
The most popular meta lines for the patch are included here. Use the tier list to see all lines. Tips for the patch:
- Patch Overview: 1) Fast 9 is less consistent. The most common route, Yordles, provides fewer free rerolls and the units on the fast 9 boards got nerfed. This means you need more gold to stabilize, but have less than before. As such, Fast 9 is more situational. It's still strong once you hit.
- 2) Bilgewater is arguably better than it was last patch. Fast 9 was the biggest counter to Bilgewater. Skip the nerfed Doubloon and save your serpents for the 7 Bilgewater items, then transition down to 3 Bilgewater as usual.
- 3) Kai'Sa boards are performing better across the board. AP Kai'Sa is still better than AD Kai'Sa in the stats, but the gap is smaller and both should be playable. The Void boards are quite stable on 8 now. Might be better to do 1 econ augment, 1 item, 1 combat instead of always angling econ for Void now.
- 4) Rest of meta is mostly similar. Diana is still good, reroll is better than it was before as long as you have a good spot (especially Ashe Tryndamere). Most Fast 8 lines are more viable since Fast 9 is less consistent.
AD Core Lines
These are the lines you should play in most games if provided attack damage (AD) items. Conditions are recommended, but not mandatory.
AP Core Lines
These are the lines you should play in most games if provided ability power (AP) items. Conditions are recommended, but not mandatory.

Something I feel would make this site even more complete would be showing level 4, 5, 6, and 7 board (for a fast 8 comp) from a common opener on the bottom of each meta comp similar to what Sologesang does with his pro comps.
this is by far the best guide and website out there, so my only question is how can we donate to keep you doing this? thank you very much
I appreciate the kind words 🙂 There are several ways you can support the site which are all provided on this page: https://tftflow.com/patreon . One option that can be entirely free if you have Amazon Prime is the Twitch option, although I don’t stream that often! But it still directly supports the site. Regardless of whether you support, I am glad you find the site useful
Hey, why is the Demacia Vayne Comp not on the Site?

bless you just saved my game
zaun is very bad still
So far meta does not look too different other than Kai’Sa looking stronger and Fast 9 being less popular due to Yordle rolls nerf. This is EXTREMELY early on, so expect more changes as patch gets figured out.
W, thanks for keeping this up to date
Updating website for B-patch with predictions for now, then will update for actual meta when data is available.
