Please Tell Me The Meta

Pathfinder Yasuo··2 votes·537 views

So far what I experience is this is the "No-Skill, lick your keyboard the fastest to win meta". Such champions include Ekko, Rengar, Kha'Zix, Yi, Jax Ahri, Leblanc, etc. Am I missing any? Are these accurate?

I remember the days where the team actually had to coordinate and use skill to make plays. This was known as the Cinderhulk meta where Sejuani, Amumu, and Malphite had to peel for the carries and try to position for their teams a way to get to the enemy carry. This made teamfights crucial and take allot of skill. Now the "teamfights" is a group of 10 people 1v1'ing eachother like CoD. It is really no fun at all, especially if you are solo queue. And by solo queue I mean a group of 4 vs 5 solo players.

IMO Riot needs to make Tanks the most important people because they encourages team play and coordination rather than, again, a bunch of assassins hopping on some poor kid in the back before he has the chance to move.

U included Ekko, Rengar, Kha'Zix , Ahri and Leblanc into "no skill" category? Even tho they are some of the highest skill cap champions?

If they are supposed to be hard then I must be so good that I think they are easy.

Well it all depends who u play against. If bronze player takes rengar and beats even worse bronze player, he will think " rengar op rengar easy". But more skilled opponent, harder it becomes. Because most know how to deal with them, so you have to outplay and outsmart them.

This is my smurf. My main is Plat. Rengar is easy as fuck. Literally 0 still involved. You press R while your bar is at 4 and walk up to them while you're invisible, get your free jump, and mash keyboard.

Once you know how to do anything, to the individual it becomes easy.

I can't for the life of me figure Riven out at all yet I think I'm a pretty decent Zed player and I've seen far more QQ threads that involve the "no skill" argument towards Riven than Zed.

Incidentally I'm not saying it's easy but the junglers you mentioned (and you only mentioned junglers) posses CC that is far easier to use and access than the likes of Ekko or LeBlanc, which in turn opens up your damage to the enemy.
