Worlds is probably going to be a slow meta

Given that riot is nerfing damage, nerfing early game champs, and buffing tanks we are probably going to see a tank meta at worlds because it takes riot several months to notice things. Phreak mentioned the other day that early damage is down, so they have the stats and we can tell where this is headed.

Fun times ahead. If you think a tank meta is fun.

Last worlds meta was stoneplate/locket tanks + enchanters + hypercarries. That's why that meta sucked.

8.16 top lane in pro play seems to already be a tank meta Sion Poppy Maokai Gnar

And mid lane has been a slow meta for years now, just wave clear and never fight. There was a Zoe literally ending a 44 minute game 0/0/0 xd

I do like tanks to be playable. However they have created a coin flip meta bot lane again and nothing about the whole game requiring a bot lane carry to get ahead is fun to me. Mid lane, top and jungle carries should be just as possible. Coin flip meta is garbage.

I'm fine with tanks being playable. I'm just thinking we might end up seeing games where there's 2 or more tanks on both sides and games will devolve into protect the kog/vayne.

tank meta obv.

so assassin whine about no dmg

and adc are blamed as tons of damage characters because slowplay helps them.

basically riot will nerf more tanks and adc assassin will shine again, and what u do to counter assassin? u build tankiness. etc-
