With a total of 61 legal votes, the new meta Sharing Is Caring is the Other Metagame of the Month for October 2023!
Leader's Choice of the Month is, Godly Gift!
I am sure some may be surprised by such a decision but Godly Gift has been facing extremely tough times due to this generation having only 2 gods to start with and remain that way for many, many months and as such we saw the opportunity to help it along by giving it LCotM in hopes of boosting ladder activity and overall interest in the tier.

Unfortunately, Sharing Is Caring's technical issues are not easy to solve in a short timeframe and the forum mods generally do not want a buggy ladder to have a spotlight. Thus, Sharing Is Caring will have its ladder removed, and the second place metagame in the monthly vote (Convergence - hi Zach Parrott and G-Luke) will take its place as October OM of the Month. Sharing Is Caring will remain challengeable for the foreseeable future while the bugs are worked on and will be the leader's choice ladder for the first available month after it's fixed.
