this tank meta support meta BS is getting really annoying

it's kind of ridiculous how you're basically forced to play certain champs, specifically in ranked because i feel obligated to do everything i can in my power to win, just because some champs are so much stronger than others. honestly riot you need to fix this, it's not right. all champs should be viable. sure there should be better champs for certain situations, and even some champs that are just flat out better than others, but NO champ should be considered obsolete.

As opposed to the jg mid meta we've had since season 7 started?

metas have always existed. The reason for this is something has always been better than something else. since the inception of this game.

Honestly Preseason right before the tank update where Lethality had been nerfed was the most balanced id seen it in years, but there was still a clearly defined meta.

Not gonna lie, I prefer the tank meta over "Everything dies in 2 seconds" meta we've had all season.

I miss the days where you had to actually be good to deal damage, now you just get handed % health damage and % damage amplifiers like they're candy as well as high armor/MR piercing.

League needs to revert back to how it was in Seasons 3 and 4, those were way better times.

They can't do that it's practically impossible without getting rid of the diversity in what makes champions different. Often when champions suck it's not that they don't do their job well it's that other champs do their job better.

A meta will always be a thing it can't be avoided. Though (idk what elo you are and I don't feel like checking) for a huge majority of the ranked ladder the soloQ meta differs greatly from the pro meta and gets closer to the pro meta the higher up you go. In soloQ you won't find as much effectiveness in 3 tank 2 adc comps as you will in the professional setting because the coordination isn't there. Things that are strong in soloQ right now are also things that are weak in pro play. In soloQ there are way more champions that effectively work without one tricking that champion compared to pro play and in the end you can make it very far without being a meta slave

There is no possible way to achieve perfect balance where picks are only chosen by specific counters and playstyles it'd either remove generalist champions and force everyone to have their own specific thing or make every champion a generalist

i know the meta will always be in effect when there's a problem when some champs are vastly superior to others, making the latter not even playable. like why play certain junglers when you have rammus? maokai? they literally do more damage than fighters, with a shit ton of cc. makes no sense

That's a balance issue not an issue with metas. And yeah it's really annoying for example in the jungle I really like Kha'zix but if I get jungle I have no reason to pick him when cho or Rammus exist. Luckily enough for me the meta mostly right now favors what I like playing for bot lane with Twitch (entire reason I started playing) and Janna so I can take a nap then wake up with 23 more lp
