I miss the old League
Ever since season 5 started, everything went downhill. Riot staff says that they are opening a new variety of ways to play and mechanics. But really, they are just introducing these new metas and ways to play, and trashing the old ones. Really the variety hasn't changed at all, sure the content has changed, but not the number of ways you can play. I remember in season 3 and 4, where you could go glass cannon and it would the the best thing ever. I used to play Kat, Riven, Zed, Lux, and all these other champs that could go pure damage and dominate. Now because of the new meta, nothing is the same. Everyone just plays tanks. LITERALLY EVERYONE. Top plays tank, mid builds the most sustain and health possible, jungle is also probably tank, support is usually a tank(if not then a healer, who still goes tank), and adc now builds some kind of banshees or steraks or some bs like that. What is with all the tanks? I see people going tank akali now, I used to play AP Akali all the time and she would dominate, now she is played as a tank, which is disgusting. If my Kitty Kat(aka Katarina), starts being played as tank then I will strangle myself with my own tongue. She isn't a tank and she never should be, neither should Akali. This new meta is changing all champs to tanks now, its ridiculous.
Its so ridiculous that even vayne players are starting to struggle with killing off all the tanks because it is just a matter of time before all the thornmails and randuins negate 90% of the damage, even with her silver bolts. Armor pen barely does anything, it does a good amount, it it isnt nearly enough to penetrate all the tanks and all the armor. Same with AP champs, once the tanks get their items that give 70 MAGIC RESIST(THATS RIDICULOUS), then it is game over for them and they wont be doing much damage anytime soon, even with void staff. It is just not enough for the amount of mr that they can build. Damage dealers are being left in the dust and the reason they are being played as tanks is because damage is just not working with the defensive items now. Why? Idk. The tank items are stupid cheap and for some reason they give a shit ton of stats.
Not only that, but the tanks that are played are just assassinating anyone who is trying to play a champ how they were designed to be played. Nautilus, Darius, Poppy, Amumu. They all just rek anyone who tries to build damage. No one can build damage anymore because the meta wont allow them to. So now, champs who are meant to burst cant even burst the adc most of the time anymore and they end up being useless because they just cant deal enough damage. Its the scariest thing seeing multiple health bars on every single member of the enemy team. And once you see that 2500-4500 max health on each champ, then you know in your mind you will not be able to deal jack squat to them.
So please tell, me how has this new meta benefited anyone? If it just forces people to play a certain way in order to be able to have a chance at winning.
