Gimme your decks, your draft strats, and answer the questions of why all the most obnoxious champions got turned in to control pieces? and why the best deck in format doesn't have any champions at all?

Bonus round: Why was Shurima completely ignored?

Apparently single region decks are best in expedition.

I have seen a lot of Ionia and Demacia deep in runs so that checks out. Elusive and Elites are strong for both drafting and constructed. I've just started playing ranked with hard control. Freljord/Shivering Isles.

Managed to outlast some other control decks. Beat a Karma based free minions deck. Was getting multiple free forwards a turn, ended up unable to break my huge Braum and death triggers and milled themselves out passively.

Oh that's a good idea. I'll pass on my control list when I get home.

Not keen on warmother. You lose to other control decks. Bc if you are in Ionia you miss out on the win conditions in SI, and if you are in SI you lose the option to win by deckout to win the mirror.

Love seeing Anivia, means I can play my control cards during combat instead of after. Also lets me refill my board.

Ruination is ok. I have all my shadow isles stuff that comes back. Like you can't remove my Rhasa or whatever their name is. I don't play Ionia.

Uhhh I have more freeze than that, and rimfang is just for challenge. And no this is the deck in full. A lot is for a good curve so I don't draw dead against evasive.

Braum is the single best control card in the game.

I'm climbing Gold at the moment with a Midrange Evasive deck. Need extra Shens, but it's been doing me decent at the moment.

Really bad against Ez control, really good against heimer control interestingly. Defs not a top tier deck but deals pretty well with what I am facing atm.

Shen is there to force through safe buffs. Transformed Shen means I can respond to removal with spells that also buff my dudes, especially with PZ control variants being the top decks in format.

Best comp resource is Meta Mondays, just google search LoR Meta Mondays.

Mobalytics is also the best resource for basic decks with a LoR version of a public deck library.

I think there's an issue with people onceeding where they have the out unless the control player is holding any of 10 out of 17 win plays. But it will come with experience.
