Meta Monday 10/28/24: Votann Take the Lead

A huge weekend with the new Data slate in full effect. We had 20 events this weekend with 956 players. A very exciting first weekend with some surprising results.

I will be attending a GT next weekend so I expect to get Meta Monday out late Monday if not Tuesday morning next week.

Lists can be found on Bestcoastpairings.com or other sites as listed below. Some events are sponsored and thus can be seen without a paid membership. Everything else requires the membership and you should support BCP if you can.

Please support Meta Monday on Patreon if you can. I put a lot hours into this each Sunday. Thanks for all the support.

Votann take the lead as the best faction of the weekend with a 58% win rate. 2 event wins and 5 of their 26 players going X-0/X-1. This seems to be a case of the top coming down and Votann taking advantage of the new field.

Guard is perfectly balanced with a 48% win rate this weekend see…. They won 3 events this weekend, including the largest event of the weekend. They were the second most played faction of the weekend with 67 players with 10 going X-0/X-1. Honestly I think they might be the best faction out there with a lot of Guard players doing Guard things to keep that win rate down but only time will tell.

Chaos Daemons had the second best win rate of the weekend with a 56% win rate and 7 players placing well but no event wins.

GSC maintain they winning ways with a 56% win rate and an event win. This weekend we saw 23 players which is a sign of players returning to the faction.

Are Necrons the best faction in the game now? As the most played faction in the game they had a 54% win rate this weekend with 4 event wins. 19 or 27% of their players went X-0/X-1. We saw both Phalanz and Awakened do well this week as well as Hypercrypt.

Black Templars were the worst win rate faction of the weekend with a 39% win rate but they won 2 events which the seven factions above them did not. They saw a ton of play with 46 players but only 3 of them going X-0/X-1.

World Eaters had a rough weekend in this new meta with a 43% win rate and zero event wins. 4 of their 48 players went X-0/X-1.

Space Wolves won 2 events while earning a 51% weekend win rate. It’s interesting to see that most players this weekend played as Champions of Russ.

New Blood Angels had an ok weekend with a 47% weekend win rate. No event wins but 5 players going X-1. Liberator Assault Group was by far the most played detachment and made up 4 of the 5 X-1 players.

Custodes won an event and had a 50% weekend win rate. With Talons winning their first event. 5 of their 31 players placing well

Thousand Sons were the 4th most winning facton of the weekend with a 55% weekend win rate and an event win. With 7 players going X-0/X-1.
