Please take a break and don't burn out on Runeterra again! What makes you such a fun creator to watch is how much fun you have. But when you're not, you're right about why the game is off, but salty Mogwai isn't fun. Take care of yourself and make sure you're having fun!
Yeah I enjoy seeing Saltwai but I'd rather he be annoyed at certain decks or games but I'd hate to see him get salty or burned out on the game as a whole.
Gotta say, as much as I love seeing your new decks, your competitive matches from last video was so much fun to watch. Great decks or great gameplay. Both are a pleasure to watch but very different content.
@@sagittariusa2145 no one is saying they dont deserve a break but its now the middle of january and taking a break doesnt mean we cant ask for more timely updates every now and then the two dont conflict at all
@@clayandros2038 True, but the only reason we have such a stale meta is because it lasts 2 months instead of 1. We get balance patches/expansions/variety sets every month, which I think is fine for a dev team as small as LoR's. The only problem is december, when this becomes 2 months instead of 1 month. But sure, I agree, it would be nice for them to hotfix some things for this meta. Maybe some very small bandaid nerfs to top decks, before the real patch later.
Everyone gives em slack for winter break. How long is their break? 1 month? This is exactly what happened to TFT during the Yuumi era, it was disgustingly broken lol, ask any TFT player and they will remember how hard it killed the game.
@@aarongutierrez7705 even if it was 1 month, let them have it man. Do you not want better working conditions for workers? The game industry is often one of the most toxic work environments, let them have favorable working conditions for once
I always said people are sleeping on Eve Kaisa. What I think really works well with this deck are: - Airi > Sultur as the 2 drop just because she already provides you with a keyword for evolve - Darkin Bloodletters because you can equip it to give husk additional attack while spawning the thrall which also procs steems effect - Dune Swallower, really underrated here especially because of the keywords it can get to finish games early, it also has keywords for kaisa lvl. And you can kill units easily with it without sacrificing mana gems because of the thralls and husks I really love this deck!
"Facing Meta slaves" awesome quote. This is truly the most 2020+ reality, people only play what is fed to them. One of the reason I love your channel because you look at decks that are crazy fun and not the same 3 options over and over.
It's not something that I take personally, but I don't think it really makes sense to complain about. High ELO contains the best decks because the people playing other decks have been weeded out. That said, I see a decent amount of Termo/Yummi, Annie/Jhin, Karma/Sett and Elites/Elder Dragon (also some Noxus Bilge aggro). It doesn't feel as monotonous as Mogwai makes it out to be, but there isn't much in the way of experimentation. Also, personally I notice a pretty big difference in average skill the higher you go up the ladder. That's not to say that people in the lower areas of the ladder can't be as skilled. I just notice that at the top of the ladder the skill is more consistent.
I've been working on a Kaisa deck that goes all in on husks over evolve and uses 3x Camo Horror. Glad to know I was on the right track as an aspiring chef.
That last game , holyyy shittt . Wp mog , trust me what we all care about is seeing you enjoying what ure doing not just pumping content . Stay safe mog ,loveya and ill see u whenever u come back
Hi Mogwai, I think i can provide some clarity for some of the questions you asked at the beginning about why people play Meta. *First,* it can be fun to learn a deck inside and out, learn the deck deeply, and find a sense of satisfaction from mastering a deck. And if you wanna master a deck, what better deck to pick than meta? *Second,* it's simply more fun to win than lose, for most people, most of the time. That will never change. *Third,* it can be fun to try to push your limits and gain LP. Seeing how high you can climb on the leaderboards can be really fun, and the best deck to pick for that would be meta. *Fourth,* maybe those people aren't playing the game nearly as much as you are. Imagine you just play after work or school, 5 games a day, always Galio Morgana Elder Dragon. You probably wouldn't get bored from the repetition, since it's so little per day. The difference is, this game is your job, while for someone else it's a _break_ from their job.
You know what you gotta do? Go the Grapplr route and make a meme deck centered around some niche, hyper-specific card synergy. Then title it "Climb Down to Masters 0LP" and get some good content out of getting back to the better elo xD
Taking a break sounds good. I'm right there with you. It's been one of my favorite metas ever, and I love both morde and morgana, but they've been in the sun for a long time now. I'm playing other games waiting for that balance patch
Mogwai is the very reason why I started theory crafting. Having said that, try to take it easy man, I really missed you the 2 times you burned down from LoR and stopped playing it
I find that Voice of the Risen is an excellent addition to this deck, giving all allies (including husks) +2/+0 if either Evelyn or kaisa have leveled, both have fairly easy level up conditions (especially ev)
I get 100% what you mean about people just playing the same meta decks, when i used to play magic duels of the planeswalkers i always loved winning with my own deck that i made, but i guess this was when things werent so readily available to copy online.
Your comments about high elo master is true. While I do think like the top few players are very slightly better as in they make less mistake (having better endurance and concentration), I think piloting skill more or less peaked at masters really, most people at 100lp master who climbed there by piloting suppression decks can pilot the deck as well as the high elo master who spam the deck. The difference is they just got bored and don't want to grind more because like you said it is just really boring mirror matches up there. Switching to meme deck at 0 lp master facing other meme deck is a lot more fun (while you can play unranked doing that, you get matched with weak low elo player who can't pilot well so it's not the same). In my opinion Riot should've just hidden all those play statistics from the public and not allow people to pull match history outside the client so nobody can figure out the highest winrate decks. Also the logic of letting everybody see what the top players are running makes no sense either, many people just copy pasting them just lead to less fun experience overall for others who don't.
I’d say that not everyone is a great deck builder but they still enjoy play patterns of the game. I think it makes a lot of sense in just jamming whatever you find fun
Take a break whenever you need it man. Burnout is a terrible thing. Dreaming about the mageseeker inquisitor is like after my fist day at a McDonald's summer job, whenever I closed my eyes I heard all the beeping and all the orders even without falling asleep xd. So yeah, the best videos are where you're in a good mood, because that energy transfers to the viewer!
My brother had this really cool idea when Kai'sa first came out of putting her in lurk decks to give her the keyword and let her scale super hard. Regrettably, lurk decks only stack lurk damage after you have the keyword and the keyword doesn't apply to all other copies of Kai'sa. Twas quite sad. :(
MOG, def take a break if you need one. Getting burnt out is always terrible. If you do take a break, I say either highlight some lesser known card games you like or do some single player stuff like slay the Spire. I'd love to watch either of those things. That being said, fun af deck and thank you for building it and showing it off
Completely agree with you! Unfortunately card games nowadays do not reward deckbuilding anymore because of internet etc, if they did you would be top 10 on the ladder without a doubt.
The same happens with tft everyone doing the same traits with the exact build that just searched up on internet . At least the champ pool forces the "unlucky players" to go for other traits a bit.
Really wanna see a deck where Evelyn shines, will try this out! Thanks for the cook :) Playing eve as a fun deck atm with Eddy, wincons are xolani (a lot of buffing units in there and siren song etc), the tortoise that doubles the first Follower or my personal favourite: the void abomination with deathless, scout and elusive, you can’t kill that dude because he always gets deathless again because it’s a keyword :D
Mogwai, you introduced me to both Legends of Runeterra and Marvel Snap for which I am most grateful. Why not take a breather and show off Duelyst or whatever DC and Warhammer have to offer?
please take a break and don’t quit. i love seeing new decks and different combinations. i definitely wanna try this deck because it looks like a lot of fun
It's an odd take. Playing the objectively best decks better than everyone else trying their hardest to do the same is, for me, one of the most accomplishing things to do. Sure you trounce diamond and even low Masters with Morg/Galio/Eddy especially if they are playing "fun" decks, but once you are facing lots of mirrors and optimized decks piloted by good players you have no excuses. If you are climbing it's because you are better. One tech choice, one pass, one open attack can be the difference and at least around that 400-500 mark it's been genuinely fun to actually have to try to be good at the deck (which I am clearly not enough yet). Running a Snnuy deck between 0-30 LP over and over is certainly a kind of fun, but definitely not my jam, and not everyone has the time that ^^ has to craft decks for a living.
That's enviably. I couldn't imagine having fun that way. It sounds like taking apart and putting together the same jigsaw puzzle over and over. I wish I could say I enjoy playing that way. It would make it easier when determining what game I'm playing after work. Also mogwai doesn't make decks for a living cuz he has the time, he makes decks for a living because he's built enough decks that people have determined they'd like to see him do it
Suppression should get its cost reduced by 1 at the end of the round, one time. Or curses in general. I feel like it would be a good way to nerf the card without destroying it, like many other nerfs.
9:20 Same, I play card games to test and improve my own deckbuilding, so winning feels rewarding. Playing metadecks feels like using a car to win a street marathon, like wow, you won with zero effort from your part, here's your medal, now what?
Well, unfortunately in card games, 90% of players are usually not very bright people who, because they don't understand synergy and assemble their own decks, simply go through the list of the best decks xD In fact, it has been getting stronger lately due to completely ill-thought-out mechanics and cards they added. :c
love your videos so much! don't be afraid to take a break to avoid burnout if needed! we will always support you no matter what ❤❤ p.s. there's a new tft set on pbe if you're interested!
Whenever there is a set in Stone meta on ranked matches I would suggest you to do content with viewers or others streamers or concept that doesn't involve ranking so you have refreshing gameplay and content as well as not being bored
Do a climb where you can only play the deck of the last opponent you beat until you beat another player with it and take over that other player's deck !! Could be fun since you can easily copy an opponent's deck with the after-game screen.
If you want to remove a card to add a one off or 2 of siren's song that card is so fun in this deck. In one of my earlier Kaisa eve decks I played 2 in a row and then Kaisa and she got insane buffs off 3 3/2 husks because of domination.
Maybe it's worth playing other modes of this game, just to distract yourself a little. Or maybe (more difficult) create some kind of unofficial tournament format with others?.. Unfortunately, I haven’t entered the game for a long time (I don’t know all the changes), but I deeply understand this state. The content you make is very interesting and the decks are really creative!) Stay strong, MegaMogwai. You are a beam of light among the impenetrable darkness of meta!❤
The last game was s3xy af, I ain't gon' lie, damn supressions and curses BS, and you just said, nope.. No Taxes for me, and still smacked the living daylights out of your opponent. That was INSANE! (Stop that though, Riot will not nerf the bs like this haha)
i agree about the morgana/morde and other abusive decks, i think we as community need to complain directly to LoR team at all times for them to finally do their jobs and not just half ass it with just nerfing heisho
I couldn't agree more with you, I can't stand people that just play meta decks to win like sheep, especially when they are already in masters, i just don't understand them
The reason a lot of people just copy paste decks and play them is because the only thing they care about is actually playing the game. To a lot of people creating a fun and unique deck that doesn't totally suck is time consuming and not worth it. They would rather spend their time actually using their cards. Especially to top players, understanding what makes a deck work and perfecting their technical play is way more important than innovating the meta.
I guess that’s why PoC is so popular, cause at least u can counter the bs with your own bs. Honestly Mogwai u can try some PoC content like Snnuy, the videos were pretty fun
Don’t feel bad about it. I actually just returned to this game about a month ago. Want to know why? It was the Azir and Irelia meta. It was so unimaginably bad and unfun that I quit playing for multiple years lmao. It always rubbed me the wrong way that they promoted the game saying, “One of the benefits of digital only is that we can patch stuff that is broken!!!” Yeah except they wait way too long to do certain balance changes IMO. Nevertheless, the current meta is not too bad, I’ve seen a pretty wide variety so far but I have only climbed into platinum so far
Mogwai I know what u mean, when u are high elo like over 200 LP matchups are always the same...try some path of champions man or TFT. Lor after u climb a lot is just shit, I completely agree with u, I lost my mind when I hit top 60. Btw thx for ur lor videos. ❤
Riot should have just limite evolved Kai'Sa "deal 1 per each keyword" to being used like 1 time per turn to nerf her instead of nerfing mostly non-demacia variants
Regarding your rant about meta slaves what are your thoughts on rethinking the ranked ladder? What if we could queue up with 3 decks and when you get matched you ban an opponent deck (or two opponent decks) and then play a best of 1?
But this doesn't really solve the problem (if you can even call it a problem). There will ALWAYS be a "best lineup" and then that's what you will see at the top of ladder. I think it's inevitable for any type of competitive game to have a best deck. And this best deck will always be more prevalent at the top of ladder, because best decks win more often.
@@sagittariusa2145 it would at least allow people to have answers to multiple strong decks. There would also be the gauntlet rule of a champion can only be included in one of your decks. Think about how much more balanced this meta would be if you could ban Morg and or Mord.
@@SeexDub We actually know exactly how much more balanced this meta would be if you could ban a deck. Look at the most recent Runeterra Open! It was a tournament with best-of-3 and ban 1 deck format, no champ dupes, exactly the gauntlet rules you're talking about. The meta was wider than high ladder.... but there was still a LOT of Elder/Morgana/Galio. But yes, you're right that there was a little more variety.
If ranked Standard has you down, building an Eternal deck or two might be a fun break? Visit some old friends we haven't seen in a while like Braum, Yasuo or Twisted Fate...
Personally dislike Evelynn Kaisa it's just boring to me but most of the fun ones got rotated out. Kaisa Viktor was SO fun 😔 Waiting for if Mogwai's brain comes up with a new Kai'sa concept cause I'm not sure personally there's probably options but can't really figure a fun synergy out with what we have. Great video tho and glad to see Kaisa! Please take breaks when the meta gets stale also! It's all good I'd rather long term for you, potentially try the new TFT set in a week?
Came back to the game recently and after like 200 LP masters it's all the same 3 decks. I like to brew my own decks but curses are so toxic to creativity its brutal
Yeah I think it would be good if you start taking little breaks when meta gets old, if I can make a suggestion I think it would be cool if you show sole of your old games, TFT I think is the easiest but maybe even Gwent, I no longer remember why you leave (maybe Homecoming, that was my reason) but since the game no longer recive developer updates (only community ones) maybe it can be a fun and worthwhile experience
To the topic you menioned Mogwai about the repeating Decks: That is not only in masters but in every elo! It´s so boring! And it got even worse with the introduction of standard and eternal. I think that ruined the Game a bit. At least for me. I cant make any of my cool ideas in standard because all the cool combos are eternal. Sure, i could be playing eternal but not ranked.. For example i love the champs Azir and Irelia, but never even once played Azirelia back when it was Meta BECAUSE it was Meta. I dont enjoy overhyped decks and instead try to win with my own creations. Much more fun and rewarding! :D Thanks for listening to my Ted-Talk^^ Edit: I just remembered i once built a Mono-Shurima Deck (By far my favourite Deck) with all 4 Ascendeds. Now with standard i cant play it like before :/ I had a list that noone else had and i had a blast with it (i think 85% W/L in plat-dia) That felt so rewarding doing it with a non Copypaste deck!
Please take a break and don't burn out on Runeterra again! What makes you such a fun creator to watch is how much fun you have. But when you're not, you're right about why the game is off, but salty Mogwai isn't fun. Take care of yourself and make sure you're having fun!

Yeah I enjoy seeing Saltwai but I'd rather he be annoyed at certain decks or games but I'd hate to see him get salty or burned out on the game as a whole.
I agree, if he does get burnout or not in the mood of playing LoR, maybe play TFT for a while once again

Havent tried dune swallower yet
They need to bring back quick attack
Dune swallower doesn’t work out for me. Dead card almost always
Sadly Evelynn is just ass since half of her region is in SI. And you can have a lot more variety in deck building

Mogwai wanting to lose games to be able to have more fun is the definition of suffering from success™
Hi Mogwai, I think i can provide some clarity for some of the questions you asked at the beginning about why people play Meta.
*First,* it can be fun to learn a deck inside and out, learn the deck deeply, and find a sense of satisfaction from mastering a deck. And if you wanna master a deck, what better deck to pick than meta?

You probably wouldn't get bored from the repetition, since it's so little per day. The difference is, this game is your job, while for someone else it's a _break_ from their job.
Such great points. So sad to see repetitive, dreadful, complaints. It’s a card game- meta will be meta.
last point was amazing
Kinda hard to believe people 500+ masters don't play about as much as Mogwai
You know what you gotta do? Go the Grapplr route and make a meme deck centered around some niche, hyper-specific card synergy. Then title it "Climb Down to Masters 0LP" and get some good content out of getting back to the better elo xD
Taking a break sounds good. I'm right there with you. It's been one of my favorite metas ever, and I love both morde and morgana, but they've been in the sun for a long time now. I'm playing other games waiting for that balance patch

That's why i only got once masters, and never touched ranked ladder ever again.
love your videos so much! don't be afraid to take a break to avoid burnout if needed! we will always support you no matter what ❤❤
p.s. there's a new tft set on pbe if you're interested!
Whenever there is a set in Stone meta on ranked matches I would suggest you to do content with viewers or others streamers or concept that doesn't involve ranking so you have refreshing gameplay and content as well as not being bored
Do a climb where you can only play the deck of the last opponent you beat until you beat another player with it and take over that other player's deck !!
Could be fun since you can easily copy an opponent's deck with the after-game screen.
man the coven demcia husk makes me feel things
If you want to remove a card to add a one off or 2 of siren's song that card is so fun in this deck. In one of my earlier Kaisa eve decks I played 2 in a row and then Kaisa and she got insane buffs off 3 3/2 husks because of domination.
Did you try the 1x Siphoning Strike instead of Void Seeker? Seems really good in this deck in theory
Maybe it's worth playing other modes of this game, just to distract yourself a little. Or maybe (more difficult) create some kind of unofficial tournament format with others?..
Unfortunately, I haven’t entered the game for a long time (I don’t know all the changes), but I deeply understand this state.
The content you make is very interesting and the decks are really creative!)
Stay strong, MegaMogwai. You are a beam of light among the impenetrable darkness of meta!❤
Surprised you don’t play the void landmark, surprisingly good imo
The last game was s3xy af, I ain't gon' lie, damn supressions and curses BS, and you just said, nope.. No Taxes for me, and still smacked the living daylights out of your opponent. That was INSANE! (Stop that though, Riot will not nerf the bs like this haha)
Camo Horror is my favorite evolve card, Tried forcing it in many non kaisa decks.
i agree about the morgana/morde and other abusive decks, i think we as community need to complain directly to LoR team at all times for them to finally do their jobs and not just half ass it with just nerfing heisho
I couldn't agree more with you, I can't stand people that just play meta decks to win like sheep, especially when they are already in masters, i just don't understand them
I'd love to see some TFT stream for the next few weeks while we wait for the balance patch
1:50 Trust me Mog Platinum and Diamond are the same
0 Lp Masters must me a blessing
The reason a lot of people just copy paste decks and play them is because the only thing they care about is actually playing the game. To a lot of people creating a fun and unique deck that doesn't totally suck is time consuming and not worth it. They would rather spend their time actually using their cards. Especially to top players, understanding what makes a deck work and perfecting their technical play is way more important than innovating the meta.
respect the honesty. first thing, make it fun for you
Can you try ryze shurima version?😊
I guess that’s why PoC is so popular, cause at least u can counter the bs with your own bs. Honestly Mogwai u can try some PoC content like Snnuy, the videos were pretty fun
Yo Mogwai, do you think you'd have fun making a series in Path of Champion?
Don’t feel bad about it. I actually just returned to this game about a month ago. Want to know why? It was the Azir and Irelia meta. It was so unimaginably bad and unfun that I quit playing for multiple years lmao. It always rubbed me the wrong way that they promoted the game saying, “One of the benefits of digital only is that we can patch stuff that is broken!!!” Yeah except they wait way too long to do certain balance changes IMO. Nevertheless, the current meta is not too bad, I’ve seen a pretty wide variety so far but I have only climbed into platinum so far
Mogwai I know what u mean, when u are high elo like over 200 LP matchups are always the same...try some path of champions man or TFT. Lor after u climb a lot is just shit, I completely agree with u, I lost my mind when I hit top 60. Btw thx for ur lor videos. ❤
Take a break if necessary, the meta is still not changing for a bit and I fear it's going to be rough until then.
i dont understand how curses didnt get nerfed... good thing heisho is a reptile at least that fixes things
Would you be interested in playing some ryze? Very niche deck that's quite fun
Have you finished all the content for the Path of Champions? That could be an alternative if the meta gets stale
Riot should have just limite evolved Kai'Sa "deal 1 per each keyword" to being used like 1 time per turn to nerf her instead of nerfing mostly non-demacia variants
20:11 - why not blocking the 3/2 with the regen unit?
Would love to see you play the monthly challenge in path of champions if you are bored in ranked!
HOLA MIGUEL! Bro te amo, te ves una gran persona saluditos
Could i recommend a card game is this pause time? Foretales is a history card puzzle game very cool
It's a good moment to take a break!
Balance patch is due to arrive soon
Love seeing you destroy these meta slave decks in masters, keep up the good work!
Regarding your rant about meta slaves what are your thoughts on rethinking the ranked ladder? What if we could queue up with 3 decks and when you get matched you ban an opponent deck (or two opponent decks) and then play a best of 1?
But this doesn't really solve the problem (if you can even call it a problem). There will ALWAYS be a "best lineup" and then that's what you will see at the top of ladder.
I think it's inevitable for any type of competitive game to have a best deck. And this best deck will always be more prevalent at the top of ladder, because best decks win more often.
@@sagittariusa2145 it would at least allow people to have answers to multiple strong decks.
There would also be the gauntlet rule of a champion can only be included in one of your decks.
Think about how much more balanced this meta would be if you could ban Morg and or Mord.
@@SeexDub We actually know exactly how much more balanced this meta would be if you could ban a deck. Look at the most recent Runeterra Open! It was a tournament with best-of-3 and ban 1 deck format, no champ dupes, exactly the gauntlet rules you're talking about.
The meta was wider than high ladder.... but there was still a LOT of Elder/Morgana/Galio. But yes, you're right that there was a little more variety.
If ranked Standard has you down, building an Eternal deck or two might be a fun break? Visit some old friends we haven't seen in a while like Braum, Yasuo or Twisted Fate...
Personally dislike Evelynn Kaisa it's just boring to me but most of the fun ones got rotated out. Kaisa Viktor was SO fun 😔 Waiting for if Mogwai's brain comes up with a new Kai'sa concept cause I'm not sure personally there's probably options but can't really figure a fun synergy out with what we have. Great video tho and glad to see Kaisa! Please take breaks when the meta gets stale also! It's all good I'd rather long term for you, potentially try the new TFT set in a week?
Oh also the Lost Finds synergy from before but I guess that might be doable again now with the new cards 🤔
Hi Mogwai, maybe you want to try Phobies. Its like Duelyst maybe you will like it.
Came back to the game recently and after like 200 LP masters it's all the same 3 decks. I like to brew my own decks but curses are so toxic to creativity its brutal
Yeah I think it would be good if you start taking little breaks when meta gets old, if I can make a suggestion I think it would be cool if you show sole of your old games, TFT I think is the easiest but maybe even Gwent, I no longer remember why you leave (maybe Homecoming, that was my reason) but since the game no longer recive developer updates (only community ones) maybe it can be a fun and worthwhile experience
what about playing the monthly challenge of PoC and make videos of it? 👀
Love the deck... Though if i want to play evelynn, i'd rather do it with Maokai. Far less absolutely awful deadpan lines from Kai'sa...
would u like to try pvzh? while taking a rest of the lor meta
I only play broken decks to climb. Once I get to gold, I start to have fun.
To the topic you menioned Mogwai about the repeating Decks: That is not only in masters but in every elo! It´s so boring! And it got even worse with the introduction of standard and eternal. I think that ruined the Game a bit. At least for me. I cant make any of my cool ideas in standard because all the cool combos are eternal. Sure, i could be playing eternal but not ranked.. For example i love the champs Azir and Irelia, but never even once played Azirelia back when it was Meta BECAUSE it was Meta. I dont enjoy overhyped decks and instead try to win with my own creations. Much more fun and rewarding! :D Thanks for listening to my Ted-Talk^^ Edit: I just remembered i once built a Mono-Shurima Deck (By far my favourite Deck) with all 4 Ascendeds. Now with standard i cant play it like before :/ I had a list that noone else had and i had a blast with it (i think 85% W/L in plat-dia) That felt so rewarding doing it with a non Copypaste deck!
Hey mogwai. Why not add a copy of ancient prep?
