More than 4000 players at Challenger now with over 160k total players in Season 11. Wolf is now the peak regarding player numbers.
Fear Steal is still the most dominant archetype followed by Ramp Tiny Fan, and then Heal & Shield and Summon Heal. Ramp Sandal, Triple Owl, and Feather Fan can also be seen near the very top.
Jinx is still the most popular in Challenger followed by Fury Aggro, Sleep Poison, and Poison.
Amongst the most popular archetypes, Fury Aggro struggles the most. For the other archetypes, Snake Jar Turnip and Leafy are really not doing too well and are on their way down. Besides the top achetypes mentioned, Eggshell Mavis is also in a good spot to climb at higher level.
The biggest weakness of Fear Steal is Triple Owl. Eggshell Mavis and Clover also seem to do well against Fear Steal but the Strawberry tech somewhat covers it.
Feather Fan seems to be having a good time as well with good win rates against the most popular archetypes in Challenger except Earwing Wing Horn.
Ramp Tiny Fan seems to be only viable further up as it is not the best against the 2 most popular archetypes in Challenger, namely Jinx and Fury Aggro.
It is difficult to balance so many new Runes and I understand that the pre-Season Cup was supposed to help with the balancing. Somehow Fear Steal was not adjusted but it is what it is. We still have another 1 week+ to go for this Season. Now I am just looking forward to seeing what new things we will get for the next Season.
