Brief rundown please guys

[Cheah18]

Ok so after a super long hiatus (to everything, not just this game, thanks to a certain MOBA) (LOL) I was hoping you could all help me out with some notes re. the state of the game.

So guys...

What's the meta atm? What is weak? Or OP? What builds for IG specifically are currently the most viable? etc etc etc

That's a touch broad...

Check out the ESL:

Some fun stats there too:

Get a little more specific and you might get more back. Also, the forums are literally full of people talking about these topics. Try some of them.

Broad is good!

Just want anything from 'X is used a lot right now' to 'y is really strong because...'

Blimey, you've been gone a good year and a bit.

What's new? Hmm.

Can't speak for meta, but content is up.

We have:

• BbBoS is a new caster who releases more than Indrid does nowadays
• Maestro came back
• Rupee came... and went
• Lots more maps, more so for 3v3 but all may change soon™
• ESL is up and it's big
• DoW III has been teased, trailered and gameplayed
• Latest is patch 2.5.1 which has been part of a long run of redesigning GK into Ordo Malleus

Not sure what else. A lot anyway. If you want something to sum up the latest patch (shameless plug incoming) you should check out these videos:

BbBoS and Atlas really helped me out with these so three cheers to them. They're basically big long fat talks on all the new stuff in 2.5.
