The Meta

I see a horrible problem with this game that has persisted throughout the past few years, and that is simply the meta. It revolves around fifteen champions at a time and if you use anything but them, you typically are at a steep disadvantage or your just plain lose due to inefficiency.

These champions and plenty more are basically just crappy versions of more meta champions.

You play a competitive game like this, whether in blind or ranked, to do well and have fun. You cannot have fun or do well when using a champion that is outdated and at a disadvantage. They are just outclassed by others and simply have no reason to be played besides "Fuck it, let's do something weird" or "I have a weird urge to play this champ". This usually ends in you not doing as well as your main, which is probably a meta champion, and you never play them until the next urge.

The Meta is way too strong in this game. You can outright just lose because you picked a lower tier champion, and in a game like this? That is bad. It's not hard to change numbers around in coding. Literally would just need tweaks here and there for balancing but I suppose Rito is too busy looking at the next event, skin or champion to bother fixing the older/unusable ones.

I win games just fine on certain champs but struggle on others simply because they don't do enough in their kit. I just want a fun, balanced game; Instead of the top heavy farce this is.
