Champion picks and boring meta discussion.

Boomerangbro··3 votes·513 views

If you set foot into today's meta, you'll find yourself in a new world of diverse and interesting champion picks. Except..... they're all bruisers.

Top lane: Maokai Gnar Garen Darius Riven Shen Mid lane: Chogath Diana Ahri Fizz Jg: Diana Kayle LeeSin RekSai Skarner Shyvana Warwick XinZhao Udyr Elise Jax Support: Blitzcrank Nautilus Thresh Volibear Leona AdCarry: Jinx Mordekaiser Vayne

Out of all these champions, only 3 are not built bruiser. Ahri Jinx Vayne. What a very fun meta were all in.

Bruisers now have the strongest power spike in the game. Adc's are beginning to drop out of the meta like flies, only leaving the top two standing, one of which "counters" bruisers. Mid lane is beginning to be filled up with bruisers as well. Cho is seeing a lot of play, with Diana and bruiser fizz seeing tons of play as well due to their mobility. The only one left is Ahri, which only is able to survive due to her kit's well-roundedness. Jg is now nothing but devourer bruisers with only Elise and Diana going runeglaive. Thresh rules the bot lane and is now being followed by Blitz.

Tanks are dead. Asassins are mostly dead. Mages are mostly dead. Hunters are mostly dead.

BRUISERS ARE IN!

...and all the champions that you didn't list that aren't bruisers? Like Azir and Janna?

Azir is good, but I wouldn't list him as "meta". I don't see people rushing to get Azir. He's good, but after his last round of nerfs, people seem to like Ahri more.

Janna is still very good, but with the fighter item update, utility supports have fallen in popularity by a big margin. Janna still stands, but Thresh still rules the bot lane.

Janna Breaking news! This champion list has been edited to fit the OP's arguement. Yasuo That's right Janna, there are three champions in the top 10 most picked that aren't on his list, and he has 28 champions up there! Kalista The Oath to give false information has been taken...? Who writes this up on the teleprompter anyway?

Oh look 3 champions that you see occasionally. You make a valid point, but my message still stands, this is a bruiser meta.

I never see a Kalista or a Yas as much as any of the champs OP listed. Janna because I play her. But that's just me dont take my word for it.

Being a solo player with a 4-man premade is the most garbage experience.
