You're entitled to your opinion, but I hate Tank meta.
You're entitled to your own opinion, but so am I.
I cant stand tank meta. I've played through two of these already since I started in season 3 and I despised it both times.
I will never ever play top in a tank Meta. Tank vs Tank is without a doubt the most boring lane of all time. Fights are legitimately just a stat check. You click your buttons on each other multiple times and whoever has the better numbers wins the trade. Until each person gets 1 item that is and then you legitimately just ignore each other and farm because there is zero point in fighting. Wet noodle fights are miserable and boring. Let alone trying to take anything else into the lane that isnt a Juggy. Lane becomes "do I have enough numbers to knock down that wall?" and the answer is almost always no. The ability to outplay your opponent and punish mistakes is significantly reduced.
I dont get this "skill expression" thing going around. Maybe if more tanks were designed like
instead of them all being braindead
I would concede, but they're not. Guess which ones get played more by far? They're insanely easy to use and without a doubt the most forgiving class if you mess up by far. Its not even just mechanical difficulty, its the extreme low risk that goes along with it.
"Skill expression" is NOT just fights taking longer. Three wet noodles on each team slapping each other around for 10 seconds does NOT make it "skill". Its infuriatingly boring and actually takes significantly less skill. Just point and click your abilities on each other for awhile. Yeah so much fun.
You're entitled to your opinion, but I've been through this already and know how miserable it is. This is going to end up like the last few times. The community thinks they want it, but then they get it and demand it be changed. Just wait.
