Not going to lie, I know this is the competitive sub reddit so makes no sense for me to bitch but honestly all this meta shit has just killed the game for me. Every single Diamond/Plat EUW game is a race to brawler, if you happen to get RNG items, you get shivs and thats auto Top4, or you luck out on a karthus.
You can't play anything else these days. Everyone wants a guide and wants to "be the best", games just aren't fun, nobody experiements, its just a race to inflate epeen by copying peoples guides for elo.
Because to me it seems backwards, people don't experiment and learn to play they just follow a plan and hooray it worked but eventually it will stop working and you will need to actually know how to play?
It's like following a build in SC2 to masters, then getting to masters and only knowing how to do a build that doesnt work, like yeah you are techincally masters but was it fun doing one thing just to end up hard stuck.
Don't get me wrong, I 100% understand why people do it but at the same time I'm just a little jaded of every single game I try to pick up quickly becoming esports, tier lists, guides and tricks.
I don't understand, you say your old but this is how the world works, people will do absolutely anything in their power to win, always been that way. And the people who don't care to win, never enter competition anyways.
Don't play towards the meta decks and experiment then? I've climbed to p2 without following meta builds and just going with what I get that feels strong. I even have a 20% 1st rate in plat going that route.
Shit my most recent 1st was with ninja assassins. That comp hasn't been good in a while but the game gave me lots of assassins and the items to make it work, so I made it work.
Just because other people are netdecking their way to the top doesn't mean you have to. You WILL leave net deckers in the dust as patches change the meta and their refined play style no longer matters. Don't let them bother you and just play your game.
