"It is so boring trying to get past the front line to assassinate carries."

Wait... so you don't like the meta because you actually have to play well in order to assassinate? Must suck not being able to press R on just anyone and get a kill.

Poppy : There was a front line in front of the carry?

Assassins are supposed to do that in the first place. -_- If you can't sneak past the frontline to assassinate a carry... well damn, you're supposed to outplay the tank whose job is to keep you from doing that in the first place!

Tanks promote strategy over mechanics, and remind us how to counterbuild and position properly again. It's less dodging now and more forward thinking ("Is our adc strong enough to destroy their frontline? Do we need to force a teamfight? What objectives can we trade for?").

Tanks just became viable with one or two strong outliers and suddenly all tanks are OP. Just because tanks can be played and aren't worthless doesn't mean that anything is broken. If anything the game is healthier now than any time in the past year at least.

I hate this meta because a sejuani or amumu will deal more damage in the game than anyone else while sitting on the front line taking more damage than anyone else...

I'm not going to lie and say that I love the tank meta, but it's just a shift. I'll change my champ roster up a little bit, and find new fun things that worked. I do like seeing mages in top lane. I've been playing top Swain and Lissandra for a while now.

I give the boards 1 more month until everyone gets bored of the tank meta and starts calling for nerfs to every tank. You people are impossible to please.

I hate this meta, and just metas in general as any off-meta pick I take, people flame me for "trolling"

I've hated tanks and bruisers since season 5 started, not just since 5.5. ADCs are supposed to counter them, but I can't even 1v1 them. I just get 3 shot.
