There's a difference between Meta and the same 10 champions (Discussion)

I understand that working for a balance team at Riot must be extremely difficult, because of how champions and items work together, causing nerfing/buffing one thing to completely skew another thing. Recently though, it seems that there has just been roughly the same 10 champions over and over in a game.

At this point, it's no longer queueing up for a match to show off your skills. It's whoever who can grab the most OP champions first.

If you look at the following champions, you'll notice the win rate, general low difficulty, but crazy stats. It's no longer a meta, it's just turned into a 'clown fiesta' where it's overpowered champions killing each other, just in different team configurations.

Let me know your thoughts on how you feel being the "Season 6 Lab Rats", based on current meta, if you can even call it that.

You're not even at an elo to understand the power differences between Tier 1 and Tier 2 champs, and how did Amumu even make it to your list (he's been 53%+ WR for multiple seasons anyways)

You can still play GP, Fiora, Yi, Gragas, Jax, most ADCs and still win games, so complaining about the "same 10 champs" beyond what you spectate on LCS is not applicable to your gameplay.

Unfortunately looking up my rank won't help your argument with me. Those champions that you listed are pretty strong, but if you actually read my post, I'm not talking about balancing champions. I'm saying that I'm seeing a lot of the same champions and I'm beginning to think that it's not a meta if it's only those champions.

Actually most of the meta champs rn are Elise, Ekko, Maokai, GangPlank, Ryze, Nidalee, etc. The champs you listed are mainly champs you see a lot in low elo. Mainly because a lot of people like playing the for the montages they've seen, like yasuo, and Zed. Others are just easy I guess. If you tell yourself that you lose because the other person grabbed the OP champion first, then you certainly have an attitude issue. If you practice enough you should be able to destroy people with yorick, or galio.

Just stop.. You know fully well the popular champions are the ones listed above + Graves . These champions aren't played because of some silly montage. They are played because people know that the champions are extremely powerful, so they use them to climb in ranked. Just like your doing with Jhin.

Half the champions on your list aren't even popular, deeming you having no fucking clue what you're talking about and you're not at the elo to truly see why meta picks are stronger than slighty weaker picks.
