State of the Meta
Asked by Biperspectival on January 6, 2018
Iβve been on break from League for some time, and I was wondering whatβs the meta comp. When I went on break, it was Tank jungle and toplane, scaling adc, ardent support, and some high damage AP midlane. Has there been change?
Supports right now are pretty balanced, as masteries were put in place to help enchanters to deal damage and protect teammates, while melee supports were given runes to take the edge off poke in lane.
Catch up experience was removed, so early to mid game farming monsters like Shyvana, Xin, Udyr and Warwick have really stepped up to bat, since now even successful ganks can set a jungler irreparably behind.
Overall, right now while a solid meta is yet to present itself and will most likely emerge proper when the LCS starts up again,champions who can squeeze the most of the new runes seem to be dominating. For example, Gp and Ez get a lot out of kleptomancy to help rush those early item power spikes, successful Malphite ults are more punishing and more often, and champions that can auto reset easily are getting a lot out press the attack. Hope this has helped you understand the horrific yet entertaining car crash we call "pre-season" :D
