I will be downvoted, but is there anyone who would rather play in Zed/Talon meta than Ornn/Maokai?

I see this hate about assassins lately on this forum and im not assassin biased, but i always had easier time beating Zed (im mid main and i dont play zed) than a fed Ornn or Chogath.Yes i know Zed can burst you easily but he has weaknesses that you can play around even in lane as mage you can outplay Zed.But i never understood how you beat Ornn in his meta or cho who at the same time can burst you while having 4k hp. The only real counterplay is having ADC who knows how to play well and kite them late, you cant beat them even with champs that are supposed to counter tanks but are not adc , for with ex.Elise you will bring Ornn to 40% hp with full combo and than he will outdamage you and kill you 1v1.

Outplaying assassins is basically one-shot them before they one shot you, and no this is not a fun meta. Tanks have real counterplay (when they don't deal shit tons of damage) because kiting and dodging is way funnier than blowing each other up in less than a second

Which Maokai meta was this? S2 or that ludicrous 3 patch period which landed him a victorious skin?

Why the fk are you comparing a Mid Lane assassin with Top Lane tanks? You're assuming Malzahar or Veigar top is getting commonly played at top lane or something?

yas tank meta is when tanks are don't deal damage and are just as tanky as they are supposed to be....seems like everyone forgot what a true tank meta means

unkillable CC dispenser that outburst squishies,that's a tank meta,and it's almost as cancer as the ADC one

personally i don't have any problem with assassins,maybe only with the AD ones but after some nerf they would be ok,the thing really unbalanced that should be fixed as fast as possible is the true damage on the board,stuff like yi is out of control
