More than 150k players in Origins for Season 11, which is higher than the many seasons that I can remember. 3400+ players already at Challegner, with 20k+ players at Tiger or above. Boar is still the highest peak, probably meaning quite a lot of players are stuck at that level.
Fear Steal is the top of the meta at the moment with Ramp Tiny Fan and Summon Heal. Jinx is the most popular in Challenger, with some getting close to the very top. Near the very top we also see Ramp Sandal, Snake Jar Turnip, Koi, Eggshell Mavis etc. I must say, it is the pretty diverse, though of course I do meet Jinx and Fury Aggro more often that others. The good thing is that many different archetypes are viable to get to relatively high in Challenger.
Fear Steal, Summon Heal, Ramp Tiny Fan, Ramp Sandal, Eggshell Mavis are doing pretty well at the top in terms of win rates. Snake Jar Turnip is on its way down, and so are Heal & Shield, Shield, Anemone, Pure Damage etc.
Fear Steal is certainly the archetype to look out for. It has positive win rates pretty much all the way across, partly due to the fact that only the very top players are playing it at the moment.
Ramp Tiny Fan would be doing great if not for the not so good matchups against the 2 most popular archetypes - Jinx and Fury Aggro.
We are still very early in the meta. Some archetypes are on their way down, such as Snake Jar Turnip, while some are going up, especially Fear Steal. I except more top players will play Fear Steal and the meta at the top may have some more innovations as we get more into the Mystic Era. I am excited to see what new archetypes will come up as the era progresses.
