Current meta picks?

[Vulte]

Wazzup bros. What are current top picks for each role? Have been off for 1 year and I am clueless atm :) Thanks!

Rama is very good for solo!

Mid: Janus, Sol, Zeus, Zhong Kui
Solo: Bellona, Hel, Osiris, Xian Tian
Jungle: Serqet, Thor, Mercury
ADC: Apollo, Hou Yi, Neith, Rama, Xbalanque
Support: Athena, Geb, Kephri, Sobek

Mercury's back? How'd that happen? Interesting... And Sun Wukong is out? I have noticed seeing less of him...

Other than those surprises (for me at least), I'd agree with this list. Though I might add Awilix to the Jungler list, since it's kinda short right now and there's seems to be a lot of Awilix going around.

Weak3n with those mercury plays. Mercury is actually quite good, you do ton of damage, good escape, good cc. If you have a team to play with him then its gg.

I just remember people calling Mercury trash and him being pretty low in the tier lists when I started playing again back in September, and I don't recall seeing him get a buff or any significant item changes that would indirectly make Mercury better. I'm not saying he's bad by any means, I just don't play Jungler or a lot of Assassins, so all I had to go on was what I saw and what other people said. So yeah, either I missed something or it's just an example of how "meta" the meta really is, I guess. :-)

Forgot about Awilix! Very strong right now. Mercury worked his way back into casual play after some strong showing recently in the SPL. I personally don't like Mercury, but that does not change that he has been quite potent lately :)

As for Sun Wu, he received a nerf to his starting health (480 --> 450) and received mana cost increases on two abilities, including Magic Cudgel. Don't be fooled, Sun Wu is still VERY good. However, compared to Bellona, Osiris, or Xian Tian, he isn't as much of a force currently.

Oh right, I remember SWK's nerfs now. And (being pedantic here) it's Xing Tian, dude. Get his name right!

That's just how it works, gods come in and out of meta all the time even without buffs or nerfs, like Zhong Kui who did get buffed but that was after he somehow made it into the meta without buffs

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking/hoping. I like the idea that the meta isn't a mathematically set-in-stone thing and is still fluid based on adapting play styles.
