Tank Meta

Yes this is a bitchy post on the forums, but yet I continue to explain my opinion.

 The tank meta is annoying as hell.  At least from the Support roles eyes.  I've always prided myself on being a great peeler, but 2 tanks on my adc have made the task far to difficult.  Honeslty the tank meta does make the team fighting more collaborative as a team, but thats EXACTLY why I hate it.  I have to now rely on not ONLY myself but my jungler to peel my adc in fights or he is just gone.  It's so hard for me to do anything in the support role playing carry champs like thresh.  

Oh you hooked nautilus support cool nothing happens, oh you hooked urgot adc cool nothing happens, oh you hooked cho gath mid nothing happens, oh you hooked gragas jungle cool nothing happens, oh you hooked darius top cool nothing happens.

When I hook someone as thresh its just highly not as useful.  I hate shifting my gameplay over to the tank meta and playing only tank supports because it's honestly such a less fun play style to me.  I just feel like its become harder to carry in solo que from my position because the game is 70 PERCENT YES 70 PERCENT about CHAMP SELECT.  Champ select has always obviously been important, but literally if we have only 1 tank and they have 3 to 4 tanks the chances of us winning is like 20 percent.  Everyone who disagrees reply and tell me how the boring 5 minute long fight around baron with wet noodles is fun.

Oh i made a smurf to troll on in the meantime and am only playing ranked 5s on my main, because we can have teamwork. Waiting for cinder hulk to get nerfed before I go into solo que again flat out because the game just seems less exciting.

Same, I enjoyed the mobility meta because it was the healthiest. If you had mobility? Go you, you get benefits. If you didn't? You were at a slight disadvantage, but there were ways to get around it. Tank meta? I see whole team comps that are tanks. Tanks just completely ruin the fun of teamfights. Rather than it being a 10-second showdown, it turned into a 30-second trade to see who can kill the tank fastest. So bland and boring. Sigh..

I play Vel'koz support and melt the tank rather than peel it. He's good fun right now.
