Anyone's Legend vs Invictus Gaming: LPL Draft Edge

TL;DR: Anyone's Legend enter their LPL 2026 meeting with Invictus Gaming holding the clearer draft edge: their Sion has delivered an 87.5% WR over 16G, while their deep mid-jungle pool can punish an Invictus Gaming core that remains dependent on Lulu, Yunara, and Xin Zhao.

Anyone's Legend Draft Profile

Opponents target Anyone's Legend's control options first: Orianna is banned in 32.6% of their games, ahead of Varus and Jarvan IV at 27.9%. Anyone's Legend answer with a similarly meta-aware ban list, removing Vi in 30.2%, Orianna in 24%, and Jarvan IV in 20.9%.

Their pick pool offers both early pressure and scaling. Varus is the headline efficiency pick at 84.2% WR over 19G, while Sion sits at 87.5% WR over 16G. Mid lane is especially flexible: Ryze has a 71.4% WR over 21G, Azir has 70.6% WR over 17G, and Naafiri provides an earlier attack angle at 61.9% WR over 21G. That breadth should let Anyone's Legend flex between proactive ganks and a scaling front-to-back setup.

Invictus Gaming Draft Profile

Invictus Gaming also draw heavy respect for Orianna, banned against them in 33.3% of games, with Nocturne at 26.1% and Jarvan IV at 23.4%. Their own bans are more defensive against jungle and bot pressure: Orianna leads at 30.6%, followed by Vi and Varus at 28.8%.

The concern is conversion. Jarvan IV is their strongest recurring signature pick at 69.2% WR over 13G, and Rumble follows at 62.5% WR over 16G. But Xin Zhao has only 37.5% WR over 16G, Jhin only 35.7% WR over 14G, and Lulu is at 47.4% WR over 19G. Invictus Gaming should seek a clean engage-and-carry draft rather than rely on their most frequently selected champions.

State of the Meta — LPL 2026

Orianna defines the board with 80.9% presence and a 67.2% ban rate, making her an obvious denial point for both teams. Varus has 62.3% presence, while Jarvan IV reaches 59.8%. For B1, Anyone's Legend can credibly prioritize Ryze, who owns 58.1% WR over 43G, whereas Invictus Gaming may favor Seraphine at 75% WR over 12G.

The patch trend matters most to Anyone's Legend's alternatives: Corki fell from 100% to 16.7% WR this patch over 6G, and Pantheon dropped from 60% to 0% WR over 7G. That should increase the value of their Ryze, Azir, and Sion routes instead of forcing outdated comfort.

Synergies That Decide Drafts

Anyone's Legend have the local LPL ceiling. Bard, Ezreal, and Naafiri are 100% WR over 7G with +1121 GD@15, an early snowball trio that fits their signature pool. Ashe, Naafiri, and Seraphine are also 100% WR over 7G with +1864 GD@15.

Invictus Gaming can answer through Gnar, Jarvan IV, and Seraphine, which have 100% WR over 4G, but their -881 GD@15 marks a late-oriented recovery composition. Globally, Camille and Lulu are 100% WR over 6G with +1585 GD@15, yet that ALL_TIER1 trend is less convincing than Anyone's Legend's directly proven local combinations.

Who Wins the Draft: Anyone's Legend or Invictus Gaming?

Anyone's Legend should have more viable branches because their Ryze, Azir, Naafiri, Varus, and Sion records cover multiple game plans. They should consider bans on Lulu, Jarvan IV, and Rumble; Invictus Gaming should prioritize removing Varus, Ryze, and Naafiri.

Anyone's Legend's likely B1 is Ryze if Orianna is removed; Invictus Gaming should likely B1 Seraphine when available. In one scenario, Invictus Gaming ban Varus and Naafiri, while Anyone's Legend ban Lulu and Jarvan IV, then Anyone's Legend build around Ryze, Sion, and Bard. In another, Anyone's Legend ban Rumble and Jarvan IV, allowing Invictus Gaming to take Seraphine but leaving Azir and Ezreal available for a scaling response.
