Reminder assassin meta was more fun, you're kidding yourself if you think otherwise

So fun seeing cinderhulk and full tank builds every game. At least you could actually turn a losing game around in the assassin meta because assassins couldn't build tanky without trading off damage. Now whoever rushes cinderhulk + full tank items first while doing carry tier damage wins with no chance of the losing side to come back.

I love how individual tank junglers couldn't have just been buffed enough to create jungle diversity. No, that was too hard. now we need cinderhulk to be the only viable jungle item and everyone to abuse it. League of black cleavers all over again.

That's still happening in the tank meta though...honestly, at least before I had a small chance of slaughtering the assassin before they got to me.

Yep, I'm kidding myself when my personal preference differs from yours. Boy was I mistaken. Thankfully you came along and corrected this little problem.

In all seriousness though, you do understand that different people like different things, right?

Because assassins 1 shotting everything and anything is more fun and is clearly more healthy to the game in general eh?

Wat.

Tanks are supposed to be tanky when building tanky, shockingly enough. You don't know the age old saying "don't focus the tank", it's like gaming 101 by now why don't you get it bud?

"fun" for literally only the assassin players. They made anyone without really good or multiple gap makers totally useless in every role. I still see plenty the same warrior enchant junglers that were around before, we're still at 50% useful enchants, but it's better than the like, 6 patches where warrior was ACTUALLY the only thing worth getting after devourer got nerfed because of Godwick
