Picked a ranged toplane/ a tank? enjoy being impactful Picked a bruiser? Most useless lane ever because of Exhaust and armor penetration fucks you over because you don't have 300 armor like tanks

Eventually you go top for 50 min and 1v1 the enemy toplane, going 10/5/5 if he's alone and let you destroying him+pushing top, or going 5/10/5 because people gank you and let your team carry you

Hopefully the damage nerfs will allow fighters and bruisers to function better in high elo (since I guess Maokai has been taking their place).

Kinda sad that (by your experience you've shared) master tier is more constrained to the meta than anyone else. I thought they'd be better at making the meta.

Mid is the only lane that has a huge meta, 90% of the mages(corki is a mage) are viable+talon+jayce+yasuo

ADC is varus/jhin/mf most of the time, sometimes you see cait and ez and that's it Support is malz/zyra/karma and sometimes thresh/nami Jungle has been more balanced since last patch, but the same picks continue to dominate because the other junglers suck And top is poppy/maokai/jayce/fiora

i have faith in meddler, with those changes and he is buffing bard after seeing how the support meta is dominated by mages

meanwhile exhaust

Gee, I wonder why?

Salty joke aside, hasn't that usually been the case with mid because of how big the assassin and mage roster is?

How do you see Kat as a mage beyond her building AP?

And I don't mean in recent seasons. I feel that mid is always allowed to have the most diversity, though that diversity gets Ignored when either assassins or mages are stronger than the other.

ignore what i said, kat isn't a mage but still she builds ap which annoys me because few ad mid champs are viable

How many AP top or jg are viable?

Ahristocats1 votes

every AP ranged top are viable, which means also rumble because he's ranged Singed is viable cause he's a tank, you build full tank nothing else do a retarded amount of damage in midgame and fall off in late game

Elise is balanced in the jungle Same for zac

that's it

Rumble is only ranged if you consider his abilities, he's mainly melee though.

Yes that sounded dumb.

Oh I'm sorry exhaust is just as balanced as flash... with damage so high right now it's not a surprise exhaust is picked up so often. I personally don't like getting nuke from full by everyone when exhaust is down. Honestly if anything sucks it's the 2 second ramp up for ghost.

Even plat is a shit show in toplane. Either your jungler tanks or you get camped. I've been having a better time botlane as full tank adc than tank in toplane. Everyone else does tons of damage anyways, and you really don't need an adc... if you do it's not like you can Quinn top adc jungle or mid...

I really can't wait for the damage to get nerfed...

it's ridic how squishy juggs actually are right now

Illaoi 4k health on her and I still get popped like a grape if i even dare to teamfight. splitpushing was the winning play that game but jfc it'd be nice if I could at least contribute to fights without being a suicide bomb even though I build nearly full tank

what the fuck do they think making them health-stackers is going to do when everyone and their mother has % damage

Bruisers belong in the Jungle. We have no business being in top lane right now.

Idk, I don't think Darius can really function well in the jungle anymore.
