New meta sometimes require different summoner spells. For assassin meta, you wanted exhaust, for mage ignite. Which one now?

Taking thing how are for real rather that meta checking? ;P

I suppose you mean what summoner to pick against a yasuo? personally i prefer exaust, it helps early and late game by reducing his killing and dueling potential by a lot. Else ignite can be very good, but you have to stomp him early and play around that.

Same discussion if you want to play yasuo instead, only that barrier becomes a good choice when against/afraid of poke/nuke mages.

If you go blind/TB and don' t know what is the enemy pick, i prefer to bring exaust because has a more generic utility, or barrier if i am more afraid of nuke mages.

I was actually referring to Yasuo with Exhaust or Ignite for blind pick :) When I refer to the current meta, since people are meta crazy they will pick mages or assassins in the mid lane more often (so you can expect either more in blind pick).

I don' t play yasuo, but when i play melee mids like him i prefer exaust - it helps in short chases, in trading against their burst and so on, but it can be tricky to use against mages.

You might get against a champion you can' t play well against, and at that point ignite is basically useless.

Barrier is a good choice too, safing early game against a more variety of enemies.

Exhaust is usually more defensive and anti burst and ignite is usually more offensive. Barrier is complete defense or dive (but falls off late game). Heal is for safety. Flash is just too versatile. So you know. Basically, pick the one that suits you most in your match up. If it's blind just run your standard.
