Yah I’m gonna peace out until the meta changes

I’m pretty indifferent to Hashinshin and didn’t watch his famous rant until today to see how he views the game state compared to me.

Before this patch, The top meta was kleptomancy users/ranged champs, tanks, and then bruisers (the worst group).

Top lane has been going down the drain over time ever since the Support/assassin update and got significantly worse after the tank one.

The two classes that synergized the best with a ADC’s were modernized but at the same time that was when riot decided to stop the class updates. So now we are in a state where tank and support item have modern toys but bruisers/juggernauts are still stuck with old half broken ones.

Well aside for some kelpto users, tanks have been reigning supreme top with bruisers being overall the worst. With the only reason kelpto users being viable is because they can farm the tanks for random items and gold to get ahead of the tanks, even if they can’t kill them even though tanks have more itemization choices and cheaper items.

Well now that klepto has been gutted and minion aggro made worse against ranged champions there is nothing that can compete with tanks

Now top truely is a shit hole where if your not playing a tank you’re trolling because as soon as mid game comes you are just going to get CCed and blown up because you can’t afford to go full defense items lik the other top without being irrelevant unless you snowballed out of control because the other jungler didn’t come and you were a lot better than the other top.

This all assuming that your bot lane didn’t lose either because otherwise you are double fucked. The only time top lane is now relevant is in the first 3 minutes when junglers are making their way up there with double buffs and full health to try and kill the other top who still isn’t even 3 yet. The same time period bruisers and lane bullies are strongest and tanks are weakest.

So now bruisers and lane bullies have to play passive instead of aggressive when they are strongest because as soon as one pushes the wave the other jg beelines for you and runs you down the lane.

I will be back try out my boy Swain once his VGU goes live but it won’t be on ranked until rito fixes this awful state of the game.

It's the same shit with the support... you are forced to have sightstone no matter what... my playstyle has been completly wiped... I can't play this new meta and I agree... I should take a break while the meta changes or the other items get back... this is bs what riot doing to this game and it's players... players get used to one meta and then they change it to something nobody ever expected

I can play support but its not like i enjoy it at the same level of mid and top where I can keep playing it consistently. What I'm saying is that even though I'm a elo whore, I just can’t force myself to be that much of a elo whore. Why climb if you cant have fun consistently while doing it.

Yeah having fun is the point of playing a game xD... it's not like you're gonna play janna 10 games in a row... if it was someone like thresh or bard with some cool mechanics then it's fine for me... cuz that's fun :D
