Lovely Meta-Shifting Right Now

I’m just here to express my feelings toward Riot Games’ most recent patches. And I want to say: THANK YOU! Finally this game is starting to ventilate, letting some fresh air enter its servers. For example, one of the most identical mid laners, Taliyah, has thanks to Riot’s changes, made it into the JUNGLE, which is interesting, and fun at the same time (and she’s REALLY GOOD, to be honest). Pyke support and heavy nerfs to shield supports, killing off the remaining ardent censer meta and finally letting variety fill the bot lane, such as Duo Bruiser/Tanks. New ADC items, doran’s ring changes, heavy reworks, buffs, nerfs. There are changes EVERYWHERE. Many of you may be thinking: WHAT IS THIS META? But to me, this is a revolutionary period of time filled with innovation. Good job Riot! I’m excited to ser the outcome of all this! :)

Close, but not quite there. This has the potential to become the best meta this game's ever had IF the rampant damage creep is addressed. There's a lot of variety but when the average lifespan of a champion in fights is 2 seconds it kinda doesn't get enough time to shine.

Its a meta, where i have seen a lot of challenger adcs get dropped to diamonds. It would be like dropping down damage of every mage by 70% on every skill.

Rito literarily deleted a whole class of champions from game. Its like, we have top lane only players, who can now play every single lane, because their champs oneshot anything that aint a tank or bruiser.

Immagine if midlane only players would get stripped of all assassins and mages, and be forced to like play bruisers or adcs in mid, they would drop divisions fast.

There are certain roles for people which they love, and which they can actualy play for real. Now its easier to go play dota2 for me, than to start learning new bot/jungle or top as good as i know adc or mid, and in mid i can get like 1 out of 15 games in ranked que.

Too few viable champions.
