So what meta is it?

Some say its assassin meta with zed who keeps getting buffed and being able to delete players while being totally safe. Other assassins may also be op such as lb and talon.

Some say its tank meta with ekko and darius and voli because of their resistances and huge health. (ekko is actually part assassin).

Some say its adc meta with lucian, ez, and caitlyn dominating.

Finally, some say its mage meta with vel doing true dmg, malz being near perma banned, and brand near the same as well because of his passive.

So what meta is it? Can boards collaborate on this? Or will it forever be one thread saying its tank meta and one thread says its adc?

it's tanky damage items meta, whatever champion that can use items that deal damage while makingu unkillable is meta

Isn't it something like sustained fight meta?

Most definitely not the assassin meta due to bullshit supports. Janna makes ADCs untouchable. Soraka instantly heals and silences. Alistar heals, tower dives, tanks, cc, and combos better than malphite.

And Braum pretty much blocks any skillshot or ranged ability with his shield.

Thresh just knocks you away or hooks you towards him.

Naut hooks you and stuns.

Then we have Leona with her dble stun.

Shall we continue???

Do you even read patch notes? Zed has gotten nothing but nerfs for the past year not buffs... research before you try to use facts.

There is no meta. People are too narrowminded to consider even one single factor, let alone the dozens, if not hundreds, of other factors that go into every scenario.

If Zed ults a squishy, barring some divine intervention (Read: Taric Soraka Bard ), the squishy is probably dead. HOWEVER, if he ults a tank, the tank has a pretty damn good chance of living. That is not a binary indicator that Zed is underpowered or that the tank is overpowered. Zed's an assassin; he's meant to focus all his might on squishies and get the fuck out before anyone is able to catch him. Why? Because he lacks crowd control and durability; if he gets caught, he's DEAD. Tanks and anyone with good crowd control are his natural enemy.

Likewise, tanks are good at taking a ton of damage, but at the same time, they tend to be outmaneuvered pretty easily by groups, and outranged. They're meant to attract enemy fire and lock down the enemy while the rest of their team focuses their firepower on that unlucky soul. People, however, are stupid, and they try to equate every champion to Zed or Yasuo, in damage terms. If they don't do as much damage as Yasuo, they're terrible. If Yasuo can beat them, they're terrible. At the same time, if they can beat Yasuo, they're overpowered and need to be nerfed.

The game is actually more balanced than it ever has been, but the community is still functioning off of the lone wolf, all or nothing, pentakills forever mindset. That's why you see mostly assassins and ADCs these days.
