When you get back to playing league

and realize that you can't play any fighters top lane anymore. Riot, how am I suppose to play the game now? Are you working on a fix for this? What the fuck is going on top side. I don't own tank champs, how am I suppose to measure up when I'm actually useless right now? I can't split, I can't lane it's like I'm a walking minion the second the enemy team picks a juggernaut or a tank.

It has nothing to do with that. That's not even REMOTELY close to the point. The point is, the viability of champs is the LOWEST it has EVER been. ESPECIALLY in the top lane. Let me show you some statistics for you to understand how BAD this shit actually is:

Tryn: 45% Yas: 46% Ren: 46% Darius: 46% Aatrox: 46% (funny how Aatrox isn't actually in last place, lmfao) Fiora: 47% Trundle: 47% Mundo, Gnar, Riven, Naut, Nasus: 48%

These are all champs that have, for the most part, been balanced around a 50ish% winrate and now they've fallen under save Nasus and probably Naut, Trundle, Aatrox and Renekton.

If you're not playing Maokai, Sion, Malphite, Garen, Panth or Ornn, you're pretty much inting. You know it's an even MORE serious issue when Malzahar top is a top contender.

Kennen, Jayce and Kayle are the only fringe cases being actually overpowered right now because of the new rune set ups. Don't EVEN get me started on how substantially bad the melee vs ranged fights are now. And Teemo... for the love of god that champ needs to be gutted right now.

I don't give a shit how the meta changes and the game evolves. If it keeps going down the current direction it's going, things are going to be BAD for this game. And lets not even talk about the one tricks and how if they one tricked any brusiers or fighters last season/ Poor guys don't stand a freaking chance. The fact I had to buy tanks to have any sort of relevance top is unacceptable. The current changes of this game is fundamentally wrong and I'm hoping riot does something about it.

Last season you had multiple champs with a 50% wr or above in lanes because things were nice and balanced. That's only top lane. There are currently only THREE adcs with a 50% or above winrate out of SIXTEEN. That means if you're not picking any of the 3 mains one, or in this case, the TWO main ones that are drowning out the competitions, you're fundamentally ruining your chances of success.

So please, don't come here with that weak ass shit if you just play this game casually once in awhile. Some of us play this game as an extensive hobby. And these current changes has me generally concerned.

Since when there is a meta where no one complains? The meta will switch in time... it always had been. Support meta, adc meta, top meta, mid meta, jungle meta, blah blah blah it will change... I'm not liking the meta but I got so used to these changes that I don't really bother complaining about it for the past years since season 4.

The meta is one thing. The way the game is set up right now is another. I'd be fine if it was a meta thing. But this is more of a "Only select champs can be played right here, right now". And it's never been like that. It's always been, "You can play this champ and if you're good enough, you can make it work". That isn't possible anymore. Regardless of how good you are at that champ, you can no longer make it work unless it's one of the top champs to play.

Happens quite a lot in the past similar to this. I'm not disagreeing with ya but just find it pointless. Fighter will Come back in time just like how adc are consider bad during the tank meta 2 years ago.
