This meta is actually pretty great for high elo

It's finally rewarding to play aggressive

no more crit ADs stalling out through unlimited sustain to hit insane late-game powerspikes

no Ryze being only beatable through being piloted poorly or outscaled, because you weren't outshoving or outtrading him ever.

Now we've got an actual meta that rewards aggression and doing more than just stalling and baiting, and encourages the losing team to play aggressive as well to pick up huge bounties.

No more 8 man stopwatches, no more ardent meta, no more funneling, no more discouraging interaction until 3 items in. I'm finally able to solo carry again when I do well and I feel like my role is impactful as more than a TP bot.

Is it perfect? Ofc not, there's rarely ever a perfect meta. I want to see Kindred dropped back down to a C tier jungler ASAP, and I wouldn't mind if Zoe and Fiddlesticks mysteriously vanished from the champion list. That being said, any time Azir and Ryze aren't meta and being aggressive isn't discouraged by sustain and constant shields is a good time to be alive.

But what if I don't like playing aggressive?

The game is in a pretty good state right now imo. The only thing I don't like is the gold funneling strategy, but thankfully that isn't really prevalent outside of LCS. A shame all people are doing is complaing.

How about how weak towers are right now? Basically lose a tower if you get ganked and die and their jungler stays to help.

How about how summoner 14 got buffed so people started taking summoner 12 instead of summoner 7 so instead of fixing the problem they're nerfing summoner 12 ?

How about how the game is literally about whoever one-shots their opponent first? Especially with this ridiculous combo: item 3147 item 3095

How about how Riot refuses to return games to their original length and is instead pushing for even shorter games?
