I don't like playing meta when the meta goes against what the class or character is actually supposed to be about

>Uh... the meta build for the wizard class is to go into swords and not use magic
Fuck right off.

For instance, I absolutely understood all the paladin players who absolutely refused to go into healing back in Vanilla WoW because who the fuck rolls a paladin to be a healer? Vanilla WoW might have been the only game in existence to make the paladin class a primary healer, and I understand the players who refused to go along with it.

If I'm playing as a paladin, I want to be a holy warrior that smites evil and protects his friends.
If I'm playing as a fighter or a warrior or whatever, I want to hit the dudes with my sword.
If I'm playing as a wizard, I want to cast spells.
If I'm playing as a cleric or a priest, I want to heal, buff and do various other "holy" things.
If I'm playing as a rogue or a thief, I want to sneak around and murder dudes.
If I'm playing as a ranger or archer, I want to shoot dudes with my bow.
If I'm playing as a summoner, I want to summon dudes to fight for me.
If I'm playing as a witch or a warlock, I want lots of evil spells and hexes.
If I'm playing as a monk, I want to be a kung fu master.
So on and so forth.

And the "meta" can absolutely go FUCK itself if it doesn't let me do that.
