I would say we are officially in the assassin meta...

High mobility High damage instant kills

Yep, sounds like assassin meta to me.

Just note that this is probably one of most hated metas since leagues creation.

Lets go back to something else.

It's more like a bruiser meta. Though the bruisers are more like assassins than assassins

Zed main calling their champion weak and everything else broken when they use R, miss every skillshot, hit one aa and the target doesn't die

More relevant than it seems.

Had one blindly dive me as Sivir, used my E to block his ult and dodged everything he threw and the moron had the gall of saying "ADC op, fuck this meta."

I didn't want any of that. I'm an ADC main and it feels like I've just been tossed out of the game all together.

^ The entire marksmen archetype is nearly unviable competitively when they weren't even op. I don't understand all of the adc hate on this board by people who don't even play adc and try to tell us how it is to play them.

Acheron165 votes

They got mad when they tried to 1v4 and the adc somehow survived that while they died.

Or when they blindly dive a marksman 1v1 and use abilities blindly while the marksman carefully dodges every single thing through skill and prediction and beat them back.

This clearly cannot be, so adc is cancer.

I didn't ask for any of those. I want tanks back in the game.

[sg-lux] Did you say tanks.

I love tanks.

Especially the low damage ones that take lots of damage.

I hated how players called "adc meta" a game which has a role that build only damage and base it all on autoattacks, which is babysat and is allowed to farm all game long

More like bruiser meta. Even the AP equivalent to bruisers (battlemages) are in meta

didn't know i would fight kai'sa braum mid in an assassin meta

Malix Farwin1 votes

I think the reason you are seeing a lot of assassins mid is because most mages are weak. The Mages that the mage update didnt hurt are actually meta picks. I mean the only huge Assassin outline i can think of that is legitimately overpowered is Talon but 1 champion is not enough to shift an entire meta. As far as the group that is the strongest right now, its the ones who use the conqueror rune aka bruisers.

Tbh it is more of a forced meta. Why should I play a tank when I just get melted by true damage? The only thing you can do is kill the enemy faster as he can kill you.

I'ma be honest here, I 100% consider both of those to be assassins.

Honestly I would put them in a class I like to call assassin tanks.

I can't kill them, but yet they instaburst me, while being hyper mobile.
