Games stopped being about actual skill and started being who picked the more broken champions

How the hell do you fight a three lethality item team? Lethality shouldn't even fucking work on yorick but why the fuck not it works on everyone. I play well almost every game and it boils down to absolutely nothing because I try to play champions I like and not the same brain dead lethality champions every single match.

To be fair, I tried Lethality in Jinx once, and almost immediately regretted it. Moment I swapped to her usual ad, crit, and flat pen build, my impact skyrocketted. I do agree that Lethality still has an usually strong hold on the game, somewhat bottlenecking and already strangled item system for the game. But this has never not been the case for this game, and in all honesty, is still more diverse than it has ever been in its past seasons.

I do strongly dislike how snowbally the game is though. Losing games due to a few deaths in someone else's lane, despite how well you're off, crippling your own strengths and exploiting your weaknesses due to that unfortunate circumstance. It sucks. I like the game, but the feeling I'm typically left with whenever it comes to the reason behind unanimous losses sucks, and not for the right reasons.

I never said it works on everyone I just said it works on too many people. AD brusiers/skirmishers shouldn't be building it and Juggernauts sure as hell have no right to.

I just read the part where I said it works on everyone but that was sarcasm. My point stands that it works on too many people.

To be frank, the only crit champion that's stable in the meta is Yasuo, and he's not even an ADC. He's a crit based melee carry with a lot of free stats, mobility and damage in his kit.

why wouldn't armor pen work on a physical damage champion?

He's a tanky juggernaut not an ad assassin. Lethality should be tailored and better suit people that should actually build it and not be something several champions in the game can have success with.

so? all juggernauts use it; lethality was core on Illaoi until the recent nerfs to GB and precision, and it's still fantastic on her. Yorick benefits from flat pen and cleaver thanks to it making ghouls hit harder. core on garen, etc

there's no reason they shouldn't take it; tanky AP mages use magic pen, nobody has an issue with that.

League has been about picking the top-tier champions for a long time, honestly.

Yes, you can still win with "normal" champions, but you will always have significant disadvantage compared to playing the top-tier ones.

The problem is everyone worships the meta like it's about to come to life and suck them off. The issue with that is that all of a sudden, 'breaking' it is taboo-- which means that the answer to the builds and champions you want are probably very much out there. They're just hidden behind an unending wall of players who screech like challenged raptors the moment someone does something that isn't meta.

Nobody in League cares about the game. They care about how other people think of them in the game.

But breaking it is what we're suppose to be doing. We need to abuse the meta, its items, and what the champions are capable of. It's literally the only way to offer proper checks and balances to what we currently have in the game. Only major problem is, there's an unfortunate bias to those check and balances.
