the entire meta right now, more than ever, is based around being as disgusting as possible with your champion picks and builds. top's a range v ranged oneshot fest, jungle's focused on the most degenerate full clear/invade/duelist potentials, midlane is more meta slaved than ever, adc is ACTUALLY unplayable for the first time in 15 years since they're all carbon copies of each other except for samira, smolder and ezreal and support is more subhuman than top or jungle combined.
sanitizing the game has led to it either being a snoozefest where
>you sweat your nuts off to win 50/50s
or
>the game plays itself off of something absurdly broken
so, it's no wonder why APC's are coming back with a vengeance and why vayne/varus/aurora/quinn/kayle are assraping everybody top. i can't even fucking play toplane anymore without any combination of dshield/rejuvbead/absorb life/fleet footwork/bloodline/revitalize/second wind/65hp if i want to play anything else that isn't yorick or mundo (already degenerate picks), and i can't engage or farm because i know the second i do the enemy ekko/diana/zed will instagib me while my trundle/ww/voli are 1/3 with one stolen kill going BOTRK into thornmail
