Meta-Predictions

Major environmental changes are expected in patch 15.3.
First of all, Ash Carry, which was a rage in 15.2, will not be directly weakened, but its firepower will be indirectly suppressed by the nerfing of Guinsoo, and it will not be able to do as much damage as before.

Academia Reroll, which had also been a top meta player, is also expected to see its power settle down with the nerfing of Caitlin, and while it will still be competitive, it will no longer be as stable as a “top player when completed”.

On the other hand, with the Senna Yasuo Viego buff, the Mentor Senna Reroll andDuelist Reroll, which have been somewhat buried until now, have emerged as viable options, and with a wider range of 3-cost rerolls, the importance of winning progression in the early to mid-game is likely to increase.

Even more noteworthy is the significant buff to Jinx.
This will likely lead to the rise of flex configurations centered onStar Guardian andJinx at a rapid pace.
We can expect to see more and more people flexing to Jinx depending on items and stores, and this will put them at the center of the environment.

Finally, not to be overlooked are the significant changes in power-ups in general.
The priority of power-ups will be changed significantly by adjusting values and adding effects, so it will be essential to make choices based on the latest information, rather than relying on the “fixed solution” of the past.
The ability to update your knowledge of power-ups will directly affect your chances of winning in the future.
