2 types of victory- Discussing the meta

So i've noticed over the last couple of days that the meta results in two kinda of victories

Snowball Or a thrown game

Either you snowball the other team, or you throw the match from being severely cocky.

I miss the days where you could turtle shell a match and comeback for a last second victory. Or when the match was neck and neck the whole game and you were able to keep going at eachother without having to completely worry about losing the entire game after one engage.

I miss being able to have fun and to do weird combo's or plays and still being able to take a victory. It seems the further you stray from the way riot wants you to play, the more likely you are to lose your games. Thinking outside the box doesn't work all that well anymore...

I mean on the off chance it does but we're talking about the MAJORITY of games. You might have a rare game that is different but right now its pretty much a game of snowballs.... omg.... league became... a GIANT SNOWBALL FIGHT XD haha
