Nah, even though I hate this meta, it's not quite as bad as the unkillable juggernaut meta was.

Was that during cinderhulk? i thought that was when the game was the most balanced other than a few champs that just needed to be toned down.

Those "few champs" were so bad it was gamebreaking. And they could be found in practically every match. Darious, Mordekaisder, Tahm Kench, Garen, Skarner. These champions usually made or broke team comps in champion select. It was infuriating as a burst mage to be incapable of neutralizing the one thing doing the most damage on the enemy team due to their tankiness/infinite sustain.

i think we are referring to different periods of time, cinderhulk meta was in season 4 before tahm Kench was released

They didn't even have smite upgrades in Season 4. There was feral flare* and spirit of the lizard elder. Adding 4 smites and the upgrades was the big change of Season 5, along with the new map. The 2 patches immediately following were the "vi/xin/lee sin" meta, and after that in 5.3-5.4 the meta was variable/a bit odd while Riot deleted DFG, gutted Veigar, and nerfed Tristana. All I remember is that Ahri was OP.

The Cinderhulk meta started in patch 5.5, when Riot intentionally buffed it, and ended 4 patches later when Riot finished gutting what they buffed.

Cinderhulk meta was like the current meta: unkillable tanks with tons of damage, but at least some other thing are viable atm.

I loved Season 5 it was fun and fights lasted longer But now fights last a average 2.5 seconds and I constantly see tanky teams like Shen Diana Irelia Ekko Jinx And you never get the chance to take out the adc because the tanks do Ridic dmg if you try to hit her
