The worst part about this meta

There is no incentive to play as a team ! When its all about one-shotting each other, no one bothers to play as a team. It's a deathmatch out there and thats not what drew me to this game. most of my games there are 3 - 4 assassins running around going lone wolf trying to rack up kills. It's which assassin gets fed first, and the toxiciy is through the roof if people don't get ahead early, and even worse when they fall off after a lead. It's spam ff till the game ends after one mistake and its so boring to play in. At least in tank meta or shield meta you are required to use some form of teamwork.

Bottom line i had more fun in this game during ardent and tank metas then in this high damage assassin mode. Feels like blood moon or urf mode just fighting for kills, and the towers and other objective are just after thought.

Tank metas are the best kind of meta because it facilitates diversity. Bruisers can bully tanks in lane, but tanks defensively out scale them. Assassins can skirt past tanks to kill an ADC or APC, but late game tanks can lock them down and use items like Locket. ADCs can shred down tanks, and if they build too much armor, mages can take over the game with burst. The consistency of tanks facilitates every other role's success. If the game is short and tanks can't scale, bruiser/assassin compositions win. If games are long and tanks scale, the best ADC/APC and mid lane combo wins.

So play an awesome champ like Ekko who is an "assassin, but can team fight.

Cassiopeia is pretty good in this meta and she can definitely help her teammates, she can prevent enemy dashes with ground/aoe stun. She also has a really good dps after her first item so I end up building deadmans and visage afterwards only to orb walk and dance into the enemy team , drain tanking anyone that manages to touch me...

Idk, in most of my recent wins one team will have everyone or almost everyone with a really high kda, on the enemy team almost everyone has terrible KDAs. At some point everyone just grouped and started fighting/taking objectives as a team.

Honey, nobody ever played as a team.

Instead of it being the yologods Zed and Riven of S3, it’s just other newer champs in their place

Yeah this is why I don’t like assassin meta, if people really like this “only care about kills” meta, then why can’t they just play ARAM, Blood Moon, Ascension, or URF. I’m tired of playing a game where the only way I can have fun is by playing an op damage champion.
