I'm going to rofl if Drow becomes new meta. I doubt it will happen... but it would be funny as hell.

I personally feel Tusk will show some appearances at the professional scene. I really don't know about Drow Ranger though. I just hope she doesn't become the new meta. She honestly makes the game less fun.

That's because the update is for the test version. The update for the main version isn't out yet.

When there's money and fame involved who wouldn't go drown? She can go mid easily and avoid harassment. Actually I could see her as a support in a trilane with her slow and aura mix in her silence to keep escapes under wraps. Then after the laning is over have her go jungle to level fast because she stacked the camps while in lane.
