So on these boards I've seen plenty of salty post and people always complaining and wanting the champs that they dont like to be nerfed into the ground. Now take my post with a grain of salt, I am very bias towards this meta (I am a ADC main JG main) I like the very short games and the snowballing makes the game interesting. I have had more fun with Jhin than any champion since I started playing league and mained Varus. I feel i make an inpact in the game. I finally see now that each champion and each aspect of League has a weakness that can be exploited, this mindset has helped me not only rise in elo but ive enjoyed the game more. Probably the only thing i would ever get salty over would be my internet lol, but back to the point this meta right now even though its a sudo assassin meta Im enjoying the game more than every and Im happy that riot is changing things to make the game more interesting. I'd like to personally thank the rioter who gave me the gift of Jhin he is so satisfying to play he fulfills my methodical play style and long range high dps low mobility. This meta and state of the game might not be the favorite in the eyes of many people but to me its the most fun Ive had in a long time in League.

So im interested in what you guys thing so post in the comments what you thing of my post

Honestly? I do like that roles have more versatility in their picks right now, but I haven't played League in over two weeks for a reason. My opinion is that the snowball meta is ridiculous right now, with many games being decided at 5-7 minutes. The chances of comeback wins are tenuous and dependent primarily on your opponent making a series of mistakes, so falling behind even a little early on makes the rest of the match more than a bit discouraging. There are no real fallback options if things get out of control early, and grinding through another 12-15 minutes just so I can surrender is not my idea of fun if I or my team makes a mistake early.

Even the flip-side of this is not as enjoyable, where you crush your opponent strictly on the basis that the game is designed to make a team that has fallen behind lose. It steals some of the flavor from the victory, and you know that the slightest misstep early on in the next match would mean that's your nexus in flames instead. Don't get me wrong, I don't think a team that has fallen behind should be given a buff or boost in some form to try and fight back; I would like to see some strength returned to at least inhibitor turrets so that base defense strategies stand a better chance.

"Feast or Famine" is my nickname for Season 6. I enjoy close matches that could go either way at any point in a game based off a team's decision making, not steamrolls that happen because my enemy adc disconnected for a minute and a half at the start of the match, or because my jungler got caught out at blue buff by a roaming support, or my top laner misplayed that 1v1 at 5 minutes. Sure, those things should provide an advantage or disadvantage in a match, but they should not be the deciding moment.

In game I have almost no problem with the current meta. With the exception of Riot's need to make bruisers/assassins much stronger and "bruiser" than they were in the past.

All of my issues and alot of the issues I see on the forums are about the system from a technical perspective.

I play Top Mid and Jg primarily, I love the state of the game right now. Mostly because all my old-school picks from years past are strong again. The snowball is a bit of an issue, but if you play smart then it's non-existent. I started 0/4 against Fizz as Malz, then won with an end score of 14/5
