Patch 16.3 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 Summary: Bilgewater does NOT look playable on the new patch as of right now. Generally would not recommend playing Bilgewater under almost any circumstances except for econ value early game or Gangplank Vanquishers
- Aurelion Sol looks noticeably stronger. Unknown how early you want to unlock him for the comp to be strong, but generally if you find a Taric by 3-5 and are playing AP, you should heavily consider playing Aurelion Sol. Roll on 7 until Leona 2, ideally on 3-5 but later might be playable if Aurelion Sol is strong enough.
- Ionia Yunara and Void Kai'Sa both look noticeably stronger this patch. Yunara was playable last patch, but outshined by the Bilgewater lines. With Fast 9 becoming more expensive and Ionia frequently providing econ from its trait, Ionia looks like a staple fast 8 comp for this patch.
- Kai'Sa looks much better after her unlock condition was moved to level 7 from level 8. The comp also tends to stabilize on level 8 which places it well within the meta potentially.
- Ziggs Ryze looks a bit weaker than last patch following the nerfs to Ziggs and may no longer be worth going for in most games. Draven fast 9 might be back to replace it as the premier fast 9 comp.
- Many of the comps from last patch are still playable, such as Demacia, Ekko Reroll, Aphelios Reroll, Ixtal, Shadow Isles, etc.
- As usual, the website will get updated frequently as more is learned about the patch.

gm are trait specific or carry augs really worth picking? i feel like everytime I do this im contested 3+ ways, or is this just bc im low elo?
is it possible to add best piltover options to the comps that play them?
its always blastshield >cogs(if ap)> attack speed> rest
Pretty much this except the Attack Speed recommendation. Usually see Nets as 3rd high prio and after that all the rest is whatever.
Best comp when you have trash opener?
Freljord or ionia depending on path this patch. Due to unlockables safe fast-8 comps aren’t that common compared to previous sets. Targon also works if you’re lose streaking by fast-7 and then gambling on hitting leona 2* and a taric, but the odds aren’t in your favour
What caused the downgrade to the Bard Sion comp? Seeing it in a few games today and seems to be performing well
Was supposed to be downgraded after the Aphelios Neeko board was discovered, but forgot. Realized after I did the big pass for 16.3. Almost no reason (except for artifact or contest) to play Sion over Neeko version.
