Stuttgart: Riven is 43% of the decks

Riftbound Organized Play posted the Legends of all 291 decks at the Regional Championship Europe this afternoon, a day before round one in Stuttgart. Riven, The Exile accounts for 126 of them: 43.3%, almost one player in two. At the Orlando Showdown in late October she was at 16%. Next come Kai'Sa with 51 decks and Kennen with 44: together, the top three Legends make up three decks out of four.

The jumpFrom Orlando to Stuttgart

At the Orlando Showdown in late October we counted the Legends in the pairings: 85 of 556 players were on Riven, 16.4%, already the most played Legend. Then the final turned into a Riven mirror, and Europe took notice: within a few days her share nearly tripled. Riot had already said there would be no bans before Stuttgart, so Riven arrives at the Regional untouched.

The questionRiven, or the field?

Riftbound Organized Play posted the table with a question: will Riven be the favorite, or will the field beat her? With almost half the room on one Legend, much of the other 165 decks were built to beat her. Kai'Sa is seen as the most direct answer, and it's no accident she is the second most played Legend. Kennen struggles more against Riven but does well into Kai'Sa: the classic third wheel.

Decklists in Stuttgart are open, so every player can see the opponent's list before the match. With one Legend this popular, though, knowing what's coming doesn't help much: most matches will be against Riven anyway.

Why it matters for us. By our count about 25 Italian players are registered, and anyone who makes day 2 also scores points for Italy in Saturday's Nation Clash. And if you play Radiance at your local store, expect Riven at every table: what happens in Stuttgart will shape the lists at the next Nexus Nights. Schedule and stream are in our complete Stuttgart guide.

In short

  • Regional Championship Europe: 291 decks, 126 of them Riven (43.3%).
  • Kai'Sa (51, 17.5%) and Kennen (44, 15.1%) follow; eighteen Legends in total.
  • At Orlando in late October Riven was at 16.4%. Round one is tomorrow, Friday, November 6, at 10:00.
