Would it be that bad if we had a Juggernaut meta in S8?
Now it might sound crazy because of some notable juggernauts such as
(I know Vi is more of a diver but she has a few Juggernaut qualities) and
with how strong they've been in the past...
But right now might be a good time for a juggernaut meta.
The juggernaut class is one with a simple condition for beating them
stay out of range
And this counter play can be accessible to all the ranged champs and a few of the more mobile melee champs(
and
first come to mind) Juggernauts don't build a lot of defenses until later in the game so they have a clear-cut way to be beaten if you get another lane ahead.
ADCs will still be able to kite Juggernauts and counterthem which will put them into check.
And having a juggernaut meta would open up botlane to shenanigans more crazy than
bot which as been a request for riot by quite a few players.
Also having Juggernauts be more prelevant would mean less tanks in matches which leads to less chain CC complains (even though chain CC takes quite a bit of co-ordination and trust with your teammates and is pretty balanced even if it IS unfun).
Mages would be as relevant as Assassins because they'd be able to force some of the enemy Juggernaut's gold towards defenses earlier in the game rather than after a main damage item. (take
or
and now the enemy
makes those two have to buy a
which will delay their damage item)
Every class in the game would be more relevant as a result of Buffing Juggernauts(or jugg items) to a point where they are a big part of the meta from my guesses.
Comment below and remember to keep the discussion on the civil side of things.
