Role Meta Snapshot

• Top Lane: Tank heaven – Sion, K'Sante, Poppy, Rumble
• Jungle: Early-game duelists – Xin Zhao, Jarvan (recovery arc), Volibear
• Mid: Control mages – Azir (ban-or-ruin), Orianna (78% WR Week 1), Syndra
• ADC: Hyper-carries faded – only Jinx & Varus saw >40% WR
• Support: Engage or die – Rakan, Neeko, Poppy flex, Nautilus

Fearless Draft Impact

93–100 unique champions projected across the tournament – highest diversity ever. No repeated champion picks within a Bo5, forcing teams to reveal deeper pools. Poppy's triple-role flex (top/jungle/support) and Yunara's 71% win-when-picked terrorized drafts.

Grand Final Prediction (T1 vs KT – Nov 9)

Expect first-pick Sion wars, Yunara perma-bans, and heavy Poppy flex battles. The team that abuses tank engage + scaling mid the best lifts the Summoner's Cup.
