I Am Leaving League For A Bit (And The Assassin Meta)

Chronomay··3 votes·1,170 views

Today I played a game of ranked in League of Legends and I was Annie Midlane. I Then proceed at lvl 3 to be one shot by leblanc even though I buy a Magic Resist Item to begin with. Then my team proceeds to tell me it is my fault for feeding later in the game after they hand leblanc 3 more kills. Leblanc ended that game with 19 kills, 6 deaths, and 13 assists and throughout this slaughter my team blamed me for all the mistakes even when they made some as well.

The reason I'm leaving League is that I was on the other end of conversation cursing out my teammates and being a jerk. I didn't really have this problem before the preseason. I'm a pretty average player (silver 3 in ranked if anyone is wondering) and the bickering as teammates is pretty standard in my elo, but as a mainly support player I have learned to deal with it. This season however is something different, the assassin meta that was recently rolled out has made everyone seem more aggressive and greedy. This is mostly due to how assassins are played and the consequences leave the rest of the team not really wanting to work with that team member and my main problem is that I have seen how other people treat each other in this game when they are out for themselves and I don't want to be that, so for the moment I'm stepping back and letting league grow out of this phase before I come back.

This is a personal problem for me probably but I don't want someone looking at me and seeing a toxic player so if anyone has anything to add please leave it in the comments I'm really curious as to what you think.

assassin meta when only leblanc and 2 ADCs are good assassins lul

Chronomay1 votes

which 2 adcs are you talking about because most adcs if you have the cc are useless all game or are being assassinated by the other assassins

Big Lincoln2 votes

vayne and twitch are better at assassinating than zed, talon and akali right now

Chronomay1 votes

your right about twitch but i disagree with vayne she is just to easy to be cc'd

I think it might be good for you to leave league for a bit if you are having trouble keeping yourself in line, but... I would not say that you can blame the game for your own behavior. You should leave the game for a bit because you yourself are getting out of line and you don't want to see yourself go down the road of toxicity. It has nothing to do with the game changing and you being toxic because of that. That's all I have to say, just put the blame on yourself, not the game.

yeah your right I probably need to step back and look at my own actions first instead of shifting the blame to someone or something else.

I'm not a fan of this meta either. It's all early game snowballing, assassins and mages that do ridiculous damage.

Chronomay1 votes

yeah it makes playing champs who scale into late so difficult

"assassin meta"

Every single assassin except Kha'Zix and Rengar are fucking trash or literally unable to assassinate anymore.

Okay.

I had no problem laying the pipe on people with Yi last season. They were fine.

Astôlfo1 votes

He's not an assassin. [zombie-brand-facepalm]

Chronomay1 votes

lol

How is Yi not an assasin? Let me give you pointers.

  1. He is a ninja.
  2. He has a sword
  3. He deals tons of damage!!

Okay.

You've never met a good zed, talon, or leblanc then.

Astôlfo1 votes

And you've obviously never met even a slightly intelligent enemy team then.

Your point?

Chronomay1 votes

hey dude he was just pointing out something don't get all offensive at that

Bro, this is pb&m not gameplay. If you'd like to complain about assassins, make your own thread there.

its not the meta its your elo. You have yet to understand how to deal with a LB. Get some wards play passively until 6

Chronomay1 votes

thanks for the advice, most people comment stuff like get good but real advice helps so much [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Wylderthanu1 votes

Its not assassin meta

Chronomay1 votes

it is in lower elo

Wylderthanu1 votes

Didn't think there was metas in low elo since pretty much everything works in that elo I thought

Chronomay1 votes

nah somethings work better than others, like most people are running high damage sups in the botlane right now just because its hard to deal with them in the early game

Kei1431 votes

LB really can't 1 shot at level 3 unless you were half hp.

molten shield when she comes in to proc her passive and you would have reduced a tonne of dmg.

Also, HP > MR for annie against assassins. Also, cos of molten shield.

Chronomay1 votes

thanks for the advice it really helps

I call it the instagib meta since more than assassins are capable of it. It really isn't fun. Basically, whoever can get their 100-0 champ ahead first wins the match. Whether it's Vayne coming in and tumble-f*@^&ing your team, or Syndra throwing balls of death from across the screen. You can't really counter-play instant death. You can only try to run aw...tumble thwack YOU HAVE BEEN SLAIN...nevermind.

Chronomay1 votes

yeah especially for utility champs that I usually play

Stephenizgod1 votes

I am not sure why people keep saying it is the Assassin Meta, I only ever see like 3 different Assassins, LeBlanc, Vayne and Twitch are like the only ones I see.

If anything this is the Bruiser/Fighters Meta since they are abusing CotC. CotC is 100x better on someone like Riven than its intended group of champions.

Chronomay1 votes

yeah i usually run CotC if i can, it just gives more tankiness that is necessary

SSJTribe1 votes

Everyone has games where their teammates tilt them. It doesn't happen that often, but it'll happen. I'd say chalk it up to random chance rather than being based on a certain meta.

Chronomay1 votes

see i would but it has happened more ever since preseason started

Azure Hamster1 votes

But it is still.... LEONA META!
