Its Jasensational, back at it again to review the latest patch together with all of you. With patch 2.18 introducing a whopping 25+ nerfs and buffs to cards, there’s a lot to cover.

With the Beyond the Bandlewood Expansion, we’ve had, in my opinion, one of the most diverse and quickly evolving metas in RuneTerra, both on ladder and in tournament formats.
