I've been away for a long time, probably about a year or 2. I'm not asking for anyone to waste their time typing a lecture just a basic summary of the current meta, especially top lane. are tanks still viable? which role is broken this time (one always is) and who's the broken champ to permaban for this patch (i joke,but only from a place of experience). thanks in advance.
A lot of defensive champions have fallen slightly out of favor with the addition of Conqueror (a rune that gives bonus damage and true damage on every autoattack), increased damage across the board, and multiple sources of true damage from things like Ignite and abilities on certain champions.
Generally, more mobile and high damage champions dominate the game right now. Slower paced champions can struggle sometimes but they still have their place in the game.
The general consensus is that Mages are the strongest role in the game right now, next up would be Fighters and then Assassins.
