Draft PreviewBo3LEC

Team Heretics

TL;DR: Movistar KOI enter their LEC 2026 meeting with Team Heretics holding the clearer draft edge: Anivia’s 76.9% WR over 13G gives KOI a high-value flex-style centerpiece, while Heretics’ most-picked K'Sante has only a 14.3% WR over 14G.

Movistar KOI Draft Profile

Opponents consistently attack Orianna with 29 bans and a 30.9% rate, followed by Nautilus at 28 bans and Varus at 27. Movistar KOI answer that pressure by removing Orianna and Jarvan IV 21 times each, while Jayce follows at 20 bans.

Their strongest repeatable cores are Anivia and Pantheon, each at 76.9% WR over 13G. Rumble is the volume priority at 20G and 65% WR, while Vi supplies reliable engage at 61.5% WR over 13G. This is a flexible pool: Rumble and Vi can enable early snowball, but Anivia gives KOI scaling and control when the draft needs a slower win condition.

Team Heretics Draft Profile

Team Heretics receive heavy bans toward Nautilus at 33.3%, with Orianna and Jayce both at 29.8%. Their own ban board is more defensive: Vi and Orianna are each removed in 33.3% of games, while Ryze reaches 26.3%.

The concern is conversion. K'Sante and Ambessa are both picked 14 times, but K'Sante sits at 14.3% WR and Ambessa at 42.9% WR. Jhin is similarly frequent at 11G but only 27.3% WR. Gnar is the exception at 57.1% WR over 7G, giving Heretics a more credible top-lane answer than their headline comfort picks.

State of the Meta — LEC 2026

Orianna remains the central contest at 76.2% presence and a 57.1% ban rate; that directly collides with both teams’ ban habits. Rumble brings 66.4% presence and 58.7% WR, favoring KOI’s proven 65% WR comfort. The strongest B1 signals are Anivia at 87.5% WR over 8G, Orianna at 65.4% WR over 26G, and Vi at 59.1% WR over 22G.

The patch trend also favors KOI’s options: Vi climbed from 44.4% to 100% WR this patch, albeit over 3G, while Jhin fell from 63.6% to 0% WR over 3G. Heretics should be wary of handing KOI that momentum.

Synergies That Decide Drafts

Local LEC data offers KOI two sharp routes. Rakan, Vi, Xayah holds 100% WR over 4G with +569 GD@15, an early snowball trio. Neeko, Yunara is 100% WR over 5G and +1230 GD@15, another proactive option.

Heretics can seek Ashe, Gnar, Seraphine, a local 100% WR over 5G trio with +1571 GD@15. For a global ALL_TIER1 scaling route, Anivia, Ornn owns 100% WR over 5G and +903 GD@15, reinforcing KOI’s wider strategic ceiling.

Who Wins the Draft: Movistar KOI or Team Heretics?

KOI have more viable answers because their high-frequency picks convert better. Heretics should likely ban Anivia, Vi, and Pantheon; KOI should prioritize bans on Orianna, Gnar, and Ambessa. The most likely B1 is Anivia for KOI and Orianna for Heretics.

Champion	Who values it	Pick or ban	WR	G
Anivia	Movistar KOI	Pick	76.9%	13
Vi	Movistar KOI	Pick or ban	61.5%	13
Rumble	Movistar KOI	Pick	65%	20
Orianna	Both teams	Pick or ban	56.1%	66
Gnar	Team Heretics	Pick	57.1%	7
K'Sante	Team Heretics	Pick	14.3%	14

If Heretics ban Vi, Anivia, and Pantheon, KOI should likely B1 Rumble and build toward Neeko, Yunara. If KOI ban Orianna, Gnar, and Ambessa, Heretics may default to K'Sante and Jhin, a route whose current results should leave KOI favored.
