News for you buddy. It's now a bruiser meta. The kinda meta where hey hit as hard as assassins and are durable as tanks. You have been warned

At least you can kite them... right?

Troll for TrumpAug 22, 20151 votes

Skarner and Morde? That's it. Darius is crp, Morde, although having a high winrate(hes a new champ it'll drop), is ok. Skarner is pretty good, and is getting nerfed, garen's more or less the same as he was before.

Except Olaf, Shyv, and Renekton all like Deadman's Plate and Titanic Hydra as well and are back to being fairly strong with said items.

Ariel the CruelAug 23, 20151 votes

Sivir has seen an uptick in use. Olaf normally follows in her wake.

Assassins like Syndra and Bard? They're my favorite assassins.

Imagine Bard with Zed's ult and Leblanc's dashes.

And with armor getting nerfed, it is only ad assassins. On the PBE basically, if you play the 6 new PROJECT champions all on one team. You win. Zero to little counterplay

AnidanAug 22, 201529 votes

Fuck me sideways, I can have SIX people on my team? No wonder we're winning. 6v5 is a pretty steep challenge to overcome.

I enjoyed playing Janna and Sona in lane again, but I guess that time is over.

LajneenAug 21, 20154 votes

Last time I checked every Assassin had been nerfed to trash. Not sure how Bruiser buffs are gonna result in an Assassin meta. I guess it's a good thing that I don't understand the mind of a Bronzie.

Like life League is a cycle. When I started playing was at Darius release. Tank meta was dying and bruiser meta was forming. They then buffed assassins to kill the bruisers. Then the tanks to sustain the assassins. etc etc

plantersAug 22, 20153 votes

that literally doesnt make sense. examples of brusiers are Jax, irelia, renekton, darius. I cant see anyone of them dying to a zed. They get so tanky that they would take a dump on them in a 1v1.

BhagswagAug 22, 20154 votes

The only assassins I like are Shaco and Diana. Leblanc is a bit too difficult for my taste.

CubedJusticeAug 22, 20152 votes

Too difficult? Can your face not reach your keyboard or something?

Singing LarkAug 22, 20151 votes

To be fair, if you actually wanted to perform well with Leblanc, it does take some skill, especially outside of the laning phase.

Meeks011Aug 22, 20154 votes

Well you gotta do E > Q while E's in midair > Second Q after E hits which takes a lot of timing and low ping. This is NA where everyone has 100-400 ping constantly so LeBullshitanc is a little hard.

CatastropAug 22, 20154 votes

Lissandra I wouldn't mind.

Ariel the CruelAug 23, 20152 votes

Lissandra is never weak. Just one of those perks that comes from being a "poke mage".

. . .Right, Riot? XD

Sniper 0Aug 21, 20153 votes

Not too worried about an assassin meta. The armor nerf wasn't that bad and the mr buff was nice.

Indirect nerf to ap assassins Indirect buff to ad assassins

Psi21Aug 22, 20153 votes

It still very much is a Tank Meta

terkmcAug 22, 20151 votes

Pure tank is dead. Bruiser tank reign

So such thing especially when you have tanks that have 1:1 ratios, AR/MR per level, Some of the Best CC/Aoe CC and hell cho's got True damage.

There is a reason why Riot calls Bruiser's tanks. Because they are completely interchangeable with the right gear.

Meeks011Aug 22, 20153 votes

I saw a full build Taric get killed in one combo by a Zed. Taric walked away with 1000 health and a death mark above his head and it killed him.

I just love it when the enemy spends 2300 gold to reduce the effectiveness of all armor I buy by 35%. Or when my armor is reduced by 30% for the whole team to rip me to shreds. Or when they buy item 3153 and their DPS against me doubles.

doombotMECHAAug 22, 20151 votes

ughhh as a taric main that sounds freaking awful. even with dazzle?

TyaldanAug 22, 20152 votes

I really am looking forward to the return of the assassin meta, as someone who wasnt around for it the first time. I already love killing people with Shaco and i hate how people complain that hes a cheese champ. Hes only cheese if you let him get fed, and stopping that is as simple as 20 wards on the map. The perfect ideal, totally reachable with just upgraded trinkets. Vision really is the key to stopping assassins. Even more so if they dont know its warded. Dont call out hi shaco when im sitting in a bush, make me waste my time sitting in that bush thinking its not warded. Vision is the key to getting kills as assassins, and also catching assassins trying to get kills. Also the key to making a clean get away from kills.

BottleCapsterAug 22, 20151 votes

I'm missing tank meta already. Bruiser metas are almost worse than Assassin metas. They're basically tanks that can instagib you :\

CoolKnightSTAug 22, 20151 votes

People where banning assassins even in the tank meta. Now it's more like ok their perma banned again. I can't remember a game where Katarina Ekko Leblanc Zed Yasuo wheren't banned. While I still think that their not all ban worthy yet. MR got buffed hard so I think maybe a yasuo ban could be fine but I wouldn't use any other bans for them.

CoolKnightSTAug 22, 20151 votes

Btw if you want to go OP try Janna with item 3069 item 3117 item 2045 item 3050 item 3504 item 3041 item 3364 . Than than shield a Vayne . Their probaly on your ban list next game.

Hard PenetratorAug 22, 20151 votes

Good Janna with 40% cd reduction makes me wanna cut my stomach open and pull my insides with about every character I play.

Almost killed carry... nope. Perfect initiaton... get lost. Ignite running 140 hp enemy, shield, heal speed up/laugh Running to flash hit somebody, speed up with slow and knockup, (fuck this i will flash), MONSOOON MUTHAFUCKA!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck you Janna, Fuck you.
