This meta needs to change badly.

Imagine in a perfect world where every champion has a use somehow, there is no nonmeta champions, and every champion has some sort of outplay potential in a fight. That is not what I am asking for. That's what people think I ask for when I make these posts but I don't. It's become fairly annoying.

All I want is a game where tanks are strong but don't outdamage the assassins themselves. At the same time, I don't want assassins to just be able to do what they want without consequences. There is a very unhealthy balance of this.

I am a Kha'zix main. My main account is Amort. I am silver three. Please take the time to ignore my rank for just a little bit and just think about the argument I am laying out logically.

Kha'zix needs a nerf. I am being completely honest. There is one reason why his nerf cannot happen right now. Tanks are too strong at the moment. That is obvious. Everyone knows this. But based on damage alone to squishy targets Kha'zix simply does too much. What I do think is not fair is the part where Kha'zix cannot even reach their target. People like Alistar Maokai Chogath Thresh Zac TahmKench just have too much cc. Too much damage. I have seen games where a cho'gath can literally flash ult a FULL HEALTH adc and kill them. It does not matter how fed/unfed you are. If you are both within a few levels of each other, that is bullshit. there is literally zero way to outplay a point and click LITERAL instakill.

You could argue "but dude, veigar's ult does the same thing, so does his other abilities!" But is veigar a tank? His weakness there is that he is squishy. Cho'gath is not. but he does the same damage. That just is not fair. Yes, playing non-meta champions isn't the best way to climb and win games, but the current meta shouldn't make it IMPOSSIBLE to. Kha'zix is an assassin but the only reason he is meta compared to champions like rengar or talon is because of the overwhelming damage he can do. And they can't nerf him without making him, one of the only assassins besides kayn, completely useless in the meta. There is a serious unbalance in the current meta. Riot, do something about this. The game is barely enjoyable anymore.

Let's put it this way. Balanced is BORING. Every season is going to have rotating strong champs and weak champs in the "meta". If the entire game was balanced people would just play the same 4-5 chanps every time. By having stronger and weak champs you force players to expand their champ pools. It keeps giving the game a "fresh" feel season to season. Don't worry the "tank" and "support" meta will leave soon enough.

They aren't going to do that big of change as preseason is coming up, as they don't know what meta shifts all that will cause.

There's already a big change coming with the new runes, what exactly do you want.
