What I want from league of legends

SlampieceHawke·Jul 9, 2016·1 votes·398 views

I want to see balance as a priority over creating new champions.

I don't want to feel pressured into picking a quarter of the whole champion roster when I go into ranked. I want to feel confident in picking the champions I enjoy playing and feel like I have a chance to climb. I want to feel ok with picking top instead of

Just some examples...

I want to feel ok with picking jg instead of Mid surprisingly feels somewhat balanced to me although some would argue that are abusive right now. i'd like to feel ok with picking or adc instead of

I can't recommend this game to anyone right now and I'm considering a long break from playing ranked, maybe the whole game.

This is something that we call META: Most Effective Tactics Available. As of the moments, the champs you listed for the "Instead Of" category are all the Most Effective in the role they are in. But the people you did list for the ones you want to be able to play, were all META at one point and are simply out of META right now.

All of the people you listed that you don't want to play, were all out of META at one point too, except Kindred and Jhin since they have been out for a lot less time.

What I am trying to say here is that there will always be META champs. And some of the champs you listed that you want to play, may become META in the next couple of patches. But in a game like League, DoTA, HoTS, Smite, or any other MOBA. There will always be certain characters that are better than others in a certain role at a certain time.

Well if you already know this, then why are you making a thread about it? Not trying to be condescending, but if you already realize that META exists then you should already know that you have to adapt with that META. Look at the pros, look at people in Diamond+. They all adapt their play styles to fit the META. Hell, every time a new patch is released I go on a losing streak, because I need to adjust to a new META. Eventually the META may favor the champs you want, but until then just adapt to the new META.
