Sure! I'll share some information.

Right now, we are really excited about the release and the resulting metagame.

Guardians of the Ancient is one of our most successful releases since launch. There are more players playing more games and having more fun!

Sure, its currently pushing nearly 60% Wr with over 70k games played. This is even in a meta where people are attempting to counter build it. Link!

Hi! Thanks for sharing the source.

I'm not sure how that information is being collected or aggregated, but our internal data doesn't reflect a win rate nearly that high.

Internally, we are seeing the most successful Irelia decks around 53% win rate and trending downward over time.

As an additional data point: There are currently 6 other popular decks we are tracking that have higher win rates than Irelia.

Cool thank you! This was via mobalytics, glad that the internal stats are telling a more accurate story. Is there any idea as to why these stats might be just be outdated or inflated in this case?

I don't know much about how mobalytics collects or aggregates data.

The link you shared doesn't have dates on it. I wonder if it's a very specific time when the deck was over performing. But that is a guess.

I'm really curious what are the other 6 decks rn that are outperforming azirelia considering that the top 6 right now are variations of azirelia according to mobalytics, does that mean there are not going to be changes to this deck and are the other top decks getting nerfed? Anyways it's really cool to see a rioter sharing some insights with us !

From the link you shared it looks like most of those "top 6 decks" are mostly the same deck with a very small number of card changes. I think counting them all as different decks could be potentially misleading, especially when considering live balance changes.

Right now, we are not planning any live balance changes to Irelia or Azir. However, the meta is always changing and we try to make live balance decisions with the most up to date information available, so our plan could change.
