Either every champ should be allowed to go in 3 lanes or no champ should be allowed to go in 3 lanes

either nerf him/change him so he can play one lane

or dont touch new spicy stuff like morgana mid,adc neeko, viktor top. overcome and adapt. If enemies pick adc neeko, pick an assassin into her and let someone like lucian go mid vs morgana. If enemies pick viktor top, pick something that counters viktor like ,-, an assassin or a mage with longer range and let your bruiser/tank go mid like lets say maokai, or irelia/jax.

That is one thing i simply love about league. you can still find a hidden gem that is so overbearing in some lane that you either force riot to gut it or actually found a new meta. Its like season 1,2 people changed metas so often its insane. now we are forced into 1 meta and if we dare change that meta people cry for nerfs and riot are like "if its not yasuo, sure we gonna nerf it back into its lane but make it weaker than before". Like come on that logic just isnt right.

Improvise,overcome,adapt. Not every comp must be 1 tank 1 mage/assassin 1 adc 1 support 1 something. why not let someone find lets say a 4 tank 1 adc comp that is really powerful yet to be discovered let it happen and let others figure out how to counter it like taking shredding adc's like vayne or something idk.

all ima say is that is crazy fun tbh.

Game is shit just accept it

Here's where this mentality falls apart: The players decide where champions go, not Riot. Sure, the game is set up in a way that encourages particular playstyles. However the champions you take where are entirely up to you, not Riot. They can try to tune champions to fit certain roles all they want, but they can't stop you from taking whatever down whichever lane. The only thing this doesn't apply to is jungle really, because it operates differently. All three lanes are just that: lanes. You don't get a buff for taking the "right" champs down a lane, you go where you go because you want to go it. That's why whenever there's a huge role shake up, people lose their shit. Most people don't realize that there's infinitely more potential to play than just all these champs go in these lanes and that's it. It's almost like it's a strategy game and almost no one actually makes interesting strategies, and anytime someones does, all hell breaks loose.

Yasuo doesn't oppress any lane to the degree your picks mentioned.

I agree that RIOT should take a step back and reevaluate their balance policies, since I too believe that the meta could benefit from more organic rotation. But I think your title is very misleading, you don't actually want RIOT to enforce lanes right?

Tbf, Neeko was legitimately 57-58% winrate, and Viktor top basically ruined the lane on his own.

The others though I do agree.

The only allowed to playnone role phenomenon only counts if the abuser is an adc or they happen to go top.

Oh, a Yasou thread.

I thought we were going to adress Quinn once and for all.

Yasuo is basically played only in mid his play rate in top is very low and playing yas adc is like playing teemo support right now and in every lane he is basically played the same unlike Morgana mid which plays differently then support, Neeko adc which plays differently then mid, and especially Viktor top who was played as a fucking tank and in all of those situations but Neeko they were op because they were ruined the lane for the other player since there basically cheesing the lane.

the reason why nobody does that is because a comp like that is just bad. go ahead and try to do that but there's no inherent advantage to a traditional comp

Because we are already too far in to let this happen. Too many champions have been gutted into garbage tier because of it, Riot can't just back down now after years.

They remove multiple roles from champs that become utterly broken in those roles, and because its not their main position, it results in them getting nerfed targetted for that role, hurtting the original position and the champion itself.

ex:

Viktor top was legit oppressive despite him being a mid laner, they had to kill it while shifting him in a way mid benefits.

Irelia warped mid lane around the fact she could all-in any immobile matchup, counter assassins with her W, and basically turned mid lane into top lane with the picks that normally could toe-to-toe with her (such as urgot and aatrox) being flexed mid. That had to be killed so she could be more focused top lane and so mid lane could look more like mid lane again.

Elise Countered literally everything league had to offer when she could lane, at least in the jungle she's now at the mercy of the jungle pathing options themselves and junglers can counter her in the same manner as countering any other jungler (avoiding/counter ganking/tracking).

Camille warped the entire fucking jungle meta, on top of riot's negligence when it comes to balancing how to delay junglers that only kept making her even more appealing due to her lack of reliance on actually farming.

Yasuo is pretty much always the same in other roles, and his ADC role isn't really that strong, mostly just a "potential" location for otps and autofills, similar to how quinn or corki aren't particularly good there but players are capable of flexing them bot lane (T1 picks quinn a lot). The only thing riot could really target about him is his main role. (who gives a shit if he goes bot, the real thing you are probably complaining about is him in general in mid lane lol)

Regarding Morgana , imo i think eiot pulled the trigger too soon. I don't think people ever banned morg for morg mid (black shield is the only reason to really ban morg.. nullifies a lot of comp options), and I don't think morg was even high tier mid laner at the time either, wish riot let that go a little longer until somebody brought it up that mid lane is a problem over the fact morg's spell shield countering half if not more then half of the game in the support role is what correlates to her ban rate.

new spicy stuff

morgana mid

I'd love for them to make support jungle items and a support smite so supports could go into the jungle reliably.
