(Questions I would like to ask RIOT) Bard, new champions, and the meta.
Hello Riot Games. First off, I want to say that I love this game and am always looking forward to new changes. One of the things that I absolutely love about league, is how fleshed out all of the champs are in every aspect. The way they look, their lore, their kit and play style, and how they all interact with one another all flows and comes together. I just saw the new page for Bard and had the same glee I had when I saw 
for the first. I have been a support main for over a year, and will always get excited for a new support champ. (If anyone ever needs a support add me Summoner name THE ZERO ANGEL.) But then I noticed something I was hoping RIOT could clear up for me. The last 5 new champions to be released before Bard (not counting reworks like 
and 
.) have each had a role that fits with the meta without repeating. 
for the jungle. 
for ADC. 
for a mid lane mage. 
for the top lane and for a good tanky support. When i first noticed this I thought this might be a coincidence but when I saw Bard today as a new support champion I saw how the cycle SEEMS to be repeating itself in some way. So I wanted to ask a few questions.
- Was having the last 5 champions forming a solid meta team intentional from the start with ? Or an idea the you rolled with after the fact?
- Will this trend continue in some fashion going forward for new champions post Bard? If so why, If not, why not?
- If this trend does continue, will it be in the same order of Supp, top, mid, ADC, and jg? Or will Riot like to leave some wiggle room to play around with. No matter what happens, I will always love this game, the new changes and champs, new skins, and the amount of love, care and over all fun added to and around the game. Thank you for answering these questions and for continually being awesome.
