The META (please read and comment)

I don't know if this is just me or many people feel this way, however i believe that this new meta after the cinderhulk patch has done far more harm than good to the game. Champion pools have dramatically been contained and even in low elo, blronze and silver you see people pick all these meta champions whereas in the past people would pick anything.

Junglers have disappeared. You hardly see lee sin any more. Pantheon, nocturne (dispite his recent buff), elise, evelyn, fiddle, jax, kha zix, master yi, rengar, olaf, trundle, tryndamere,wukong. And all that because of the cinderhulk.

In the mid lane even zed has been sitting aside since the tankier compositions usually make it to the late game where he isn't as effective. Kassadin's nerf has also affected the lane as there are even fewer champions to counter leblank and aome other mid laners making the picks even more standard.

The top lane is also been shitted on. 2v1 in the lcs making the top lane a boring thing to watch. Top laners that take smite only to build cinderhulk thinking it's the answer to laneswap gold depletion. And top laners have become the secondary slteam support, bringing cc for the fights.

The ADC pool has also narrowed dramatically. More and more ADCs are put to the side because they can't handle the increased cc and mobility from the opponents so they require mobility themselves and self peel.

The only role that might have been in a golden era is the support. More and more top lane and jungler tanks have allowed some room for supports lile nami, janna, annie to take over, however it's not necessarily good as other supports more fresh like braum are usually put to the side aswell.

All i am saying is that this meta feela boring. It feels limited to the champions played. I mean having kha zix in the dumpster and lee ain aswell but nunu been thriving can't be a good sign. Having so few ADCs active because all the rest don't have the mobility to keep up seems like a ridiculous excuse.

I have one hope for this game i always had. I have posted it manybtimes before, my dream of the game is to see all champions played. All champions balanced. I want to see teemo being the meta, yorick being the meta, quinn, miss fortune, darius, evelyn, nocturne, gangplank, karma, poppy, skarner, soraka, syndra, ect. I wanna see all champs being picked and a meta that is actually fun to play.

Lots of champs are still strong, but people are too busy copying LCS to care. The worst thing about this game is being pigeonholed into the small pool of champs that are considered "viable", just because you don't want people to lose their minds over picking a champ that isn't played often.

Teemo meta: He was built to be an ANTI-META. He's literally an Anti-AA Champ... he is a counter to AA champs that lack gap closers and gives global map presence... he's a hit and run master... you want a hit and run meta? How the hell is that exciting?

Yorick being the meta? He's an absent team fighter sending in his minions to whittle you down and then finally engages when you're low and wades into the fight as being an unkillable TANK - Cinderhulk benefits Yorick hugely... sweet mother of panda... I haven't tried Yorick top lane with Cinderhulk... must do this when I get home.

I really like the game where it is right now - tanks are useful, I can play Shen or Garen and not be mocked. Thx
