META - 3v3: Time for a Change

I've always enjoyed playing ranked 3v3s with friends on occasion, it sometimes makes for a nice change from solidly grinding The Rift. The 5v5 meta changes regularly and for me it's what keeps the game interesting.

I've noticed a problem with ranked 3v3s, and it's that the meta hasn't actually changed since season 4, getting on 4 years now.

The lack of a changing meta makes me feel like the creative state of it has deteriorated. It's now unwinnable without following the support meta. Any division past mid Gold now means it's played every game.

Point - ranked 3v3 has been dictated by the support meta for 4 years. Problem - it was fun at first but It's now grown mundane and lacks any further room for composition creativity. Reason - the support meta is unavoidably strong, teams are forced to follow it in order to stand any chance of winning.

Possible Solutions - reduce the effectiveness of support items - remove support items from The Twisted Treeline - further decrease the experience gained when duo-laning - I'm sure there are various other options and I'd like to know your thoughts

Point to note

I know that before the support meta The Treeline was dominated by bruisers and that introducing supports made for a refreshing change. However I think it's gone on for too long and an update is needed. The game has come quite a way since the bruiser meta and I think it would be interesting to see how the new champions/re-works and items would fair in an equal environment.

Thanks
