Nasty gross Meta

To start, I've loved league of legends, and i will always stand by it, as a player for 8 years. This meta is disgusting. I can't even relatively believe, how Marksmen/Adcs aren't even a thing. There are people who have played League of legends because THOSE champions feel right to them, it isn't even about the ROLE. it's just about being eligible to PLAY a marksman without telling your team that you lost the game because 1. you don't do damage WHY? 2. Because you get slaughtered by a swain/vladimir/brand/heimerdinger/yasuo so you can't get items to DEAL damage. SO even when you DO get damage 3. Those champions stated above, are better at teamfighting and 1 banging marksmen. One does not SIMPLY dodge a brand/swain/vladimir/(yasuo if their team comp is knockups). It is the end of those champions all together, until RIOT figures out how to Balance this damn game. it's been going down the crapper since the new mastery update. (I've gained elo with the update, but it's truly trash) before fanboys attack that, how about you STOP and WATCH ;) what i did there. Fk this meta/recent updates. I pray to god 1 patch fixes this mess, or i just won't play it. (that isn't a threat to anyone, league will survive) just saying.

I think it's interesting. but, the games are going way too fast and nothing seems normal, so abnormal that i think ranked games look like normals. It really must be nerve racking to people who play ranged auto champions.

In this 25 min game meta, crit items need to provide a stronger mid game spike. Infinity Edge currently feels too weak.

Remember this beautiful old philosophy before they moved the good dev that would do what the game needed and not what tencent wanted?

I agree. Although, I appreciate the diversity in the bot lane. Do you have any ideas? Games were almost predetermined by which support got Ardent in that meta, now they're still being determined by botlane. *vlad, swain etc.

Probably thats how every other role and lane felt when adc were dominant some days ago.

marksmen are still a thing. theyre just not mandatory anymore.

no class of champions should be 100% mandatory to a role. its only a hand full of bruisers and mages that can lane on bot with a support at the moment.

Wait wait wait. Didnt this all happen about 2 years ago before the assasin update, and th n riot updated the assasins, then we came to adc 2k17 meta with this. How history repeats its self on single choices

I dont take it too seriously this season, doesnt feel like a teamgame at all right now

I think that Heimdinger is fine, he is the counter to these bruisers. Swain Vlad Irelia need to be removed from bot lane, OR give ADC's a higher base hp/armor, OR nerf conqueror. (my opinion tho)
