when your main becomes "meta"

SwiftKitten88··1 votes·564 views

eventually pretty much every champ reaches a stage (for at least one patch) where the champ becomes contested

whether it be people imitating champs they see at worlds aka Syndra

a champ that is just absurdly op for a patch or a few patches akaMasterYi XinZhao Vladimir Viktor Zac Hecarim Gangplank

or in the case of my main Nidalee getting a 100% pick/ban rate at worlds now in most of the "op" cases it means the champ is pretty much permabanned and u really cant play it if it is contested at worlds you see it banned more often but it still goes through a lot but in the case of Nidalee (my main). i have not noticed ANY increase in ban rate in my elo due to worlds.

but what i found interesting is her PICK rate in my elo has shot up tremendously. I'm not used to being in a game where the is a nidalee and it isn't ME.

but what i find funny, is that almost everyone i meet playing her, are the new people..are trying her because they think she is "OP" and i think the best part of any game i see her picked in is: i get the see the reaction of the people who think she is "easy".

it is always really funny.

every so often i do have to put up with some people who think the fact that i did good on her when I play her is "just me playing an OP champ"

but still every time i see a nidalee, i know chat is going to be entertaining. XD

he is right now, and has been for quite a while. were at a point, where hes actually op. his playrate has been increasing and he peaks out at 61% winrate at plat and upwards.

he has ben powercreeping for about a year, partially due to direct buffs.

and last time he was nerfed into the ground, because his kit is toxic as fuck. and i dont mean that in the sense of a pun.

Ahh.. well Personally I'd sacrifice a bit of his power like spell wise maybe on like his Q or E

for about 50 range.. making it 550 range.. making him more "Meta" Botlane.

I had one person even agree with me on the range over power saying "his range is a tad low. he just barely stays on the safe fringe of poke top and is too low for bot. agreed."

That's where I take him. I feel like he should be bot lane to counter AA-dependent ADCs like how Vayne is always pretty powerful, well teemo can shut her down... Whereas casters like Ezreal, Corki, Varus, Jhin... Counter him...

I play him as support as I hide in the bushes.. and this stealth update will help him out a lot with just that. Bot lane is perfect because it has much larger bushes for him to hide in.


This is just one of my ideas of getting rid of the range creep at top... Make them more viable in a different lane...

I guess when I asked about teemo being meta.. I kinda meant botlane meta... xD


Though many people enjoy play him top... Personally I don't...

I stink at him top. I don't know why. I can pull him off as a support bot lane but playing him top is like...

Im feeding.. All the time...

Met a pretty good MonkeyKing who knew what to do against me.
