Meta watch

The reference point for reading this meta is patch 16.9. Rumble, Varus, Karma — the champions the draft returned to most this week. Rumble led the way at 96.0%. Jarvan IV was picked 5 times but returned only 20.0%, so the attention in the draft did not turn into wins. Compared with last week Nocturne gained +18.8%p in presence, and the rising group runs Nocturne, Nautilus, Bard.
