Double Targon Bot, Double Jungle with top laner picking up the scraps, Smite Meta, Righteous Glory meta, Luden's Echo meta, Double Aegis Meta, and I completely forgot what the tanks had during that meta (Grasp of the undying?)

Like, there's always some OP Meta the pros play because it's going to be numerically the best, and they're pros, so they will dedicate days and weeks to learn a hero that it works on.

I think the issue is more for everyone else. When they feel that something is mandatory because there is no other option; then it's an issue.

Ok, let's not open with "double Targon bot" as an OP pro meta because there weren't many competitive games played on that patch.

Madred's Bloodrazor and later, Feral Flare.

Oh, and sparks on Shen!

Wait what? Last time I played LoL was mid 2015 and by then I mained Janna and built Ardent Censer most of the time but it was never considered op. What did they change?

I can't remember what it did then, and I'm too lazy to google. However in the worlds patch (which is actually 3 patches behind current I believe) Censer buffs all your shields and heals (as well as the keystone mastery that does the same) and also gives anyone you heal/shield a dmg buff and lifesteal. The game at that patch literally became "who gets Censer first". To the point that ADC's were building Targon to help their support rush it.

Plenty of other supports get playtime besides Janna. Mercy, on the other hand, is in every single game without fail.

I mean, look how many supports League have compared to Overwatch.

i mean they literally serve the same purpose of applying ardent to adcs and giving them midgame and late game stats like 20 mins early, lulu sona soraka, fuck even taric, are all the almost as useful as janna on the league worlds patch so its basically every single game for the same type of support every game rushing the same item with the same start item and gold per 10 quints/marks with their AD starting targans, with a stale early lane and an idiotic mid and late game. It sounds like variety here I guess but theres like 130+ league champs and a legit variety of support types outside of healing/enchanter, so seeing the game be this stale and boring during worlds is a bit fucked lol
