[@theSato]

true, but as someone who hasn't been playing league ever since Mythic items launched (i knew the update would make me quit and it did, such a stupid direction) , I appreciate this meta update in case I want to jump back in. even if 1-2 champs change between now and then I still have a vague idea of what's up meta-wise.

[@ok-iy6pw]

​@@theSatothe mythic update was just a new title for items. It didn't change anything. It just made people cry because of "scary changes". The game was the same during mythics. The game is the same after mythics. Choose a different excuse.

[@LilItaly]

[@QMrir420x]

​@@ok-iy6pwhe just said he stopped playing during the mythic items season and just wants to be updated on the meta in case he plays again. Why are you so pressed abt it

[@ongxuwei]

Rengar, Taliyah and Karthus are actually good junglers, but as what he's said it requires you to be REALLY good at the champ to bring out the best in them. Karthus - how to kite camp with Q, how to balance mana, how to Q ahead to the next camp to minimise travelling time between camps, how/when to gank (is where most Karthus players struggle, and end up playing him like Master Yi and playing Farming Sim) Rengar - How to do animation resets, the triple-Q combo, who to jump on from ult, who not to, when to use each of the empowered Q/W/E. Many rengars tend to only use the empowered Q due to damage, and don't know when to use the heal or root. Taliyah - How to maximise clear damage from the E > W combo. How to balance between normal Q, and the single shot version of it. I think the biggest difficulty is how to use the ult. How to utilise her wallriding passive to run from camp to camp or even gank a lane faster than people expect.

[@metalmagerin3]

Oh good, he hasn't realized the Quinn synergy with Synchronized Souls' enhanced recall yet, giving a free ult reset every 4 seconds and making Quinn a manaless champion.

[@maxij469]

LaBlancs biggest weakness is wave, you either do damage to wave or enemy team. When playing her support you don’t have to worry about wave, genius.

When skarner rework released, I had a friend who said he needed buffs because his winrate was low. I was like bro just wait lmao. From what I've seen, most new champs/reworks have a low winrate at release but man. He's so strong. Knew it the FIRST game I played against him. Repeated nerfs kinda confirms

[@yukinohazuki9918]

I like old Yuumi more. Old Yuumi is like a Sona/Seraphinex2 but she buff only one champ while doing some dmg and buffing. Also more skill expressions because the shield is on her passive + Her mana restore + her e heal + her old ult is a better peeling tool.

[@allykat5931]

Yes, everyone knows that old yuumi was better, thats why she doesn't exist anymore. It was an intentional removal cause she is fundamentally broken. By concept.

[@gonaldocr24]

I hate her in every single state she's ever been or ever will be

[@dracolich345]

That champion is either turbo busted or useless. Not balanceable

[@rayseodium]

I love how Milio is mentioned twice as an amazingly strong support, but is just not talked about in the support part at all. Like Milio is probably the best all around support right, because of the interaction between his passive and Echos of Helia. Great lane, great mid and great late. The moment you finish Echos of Helia you simply cannot die 2v2, you always have fantastic synergy with most ADCs (Ashe, Twitch and Corki specifically) and you can win a lot of 2v2 against engage supports by simply pressing R at the right time denying them their CC I've been abusing Milio for the last 2 patches now and I have a 85 % Winrate in Diamond with my longest Winstreak being 12. I do not understand how this champion dodges nerfs again. The moment you get EoH you press W on your ADC and you win the fight. It feels like I am boosting myself with random ADCs players.

[@thed-man2223]

I think League is in the best state its ever been in. It‘s very rare to have this much champion variaty in every role. That doesn‘t mean that there aren‘t some champions that di better then others, but every champion is playable.

[@biglittleboy9827]

I think you are very low elo. Because there is not a single high elo players saying that.. the game is horrible rn.

[@elig6972]

@@biglittleboy9827 There are always players who say that the game is in a horrible state, but I don‘t think every single high elo player would say that about the game right now. There isn‘t a single strategy, item or champion that is completly meta defining and can‘t be countered. But I‘m obiously no expert, so I would like to here what the high elo players find so horrible about the game right now and at what point was the game in a better state.

[@vietanhhoang7898]

Your video is as high effort and quality as always, but I do think making content about stuff that changes every two weeks isn’t really the way to go. I actually really enjoyed your old video essays where you went through the entire history of old League champs, gamemodes, items,… and still revisit them from time to time. Those videos definitely stick around more to me, and does stand out from all the meta analysis videos that other channels pump out basically every new patch. Just some thoughts. I’m still watching, and if you’re more comfortable doing this kind of content I’m still supporting you.

[@nicklasveva]

I hate that LoL has become item and damage based. Items do more damage than champions themselves. The best way to win is to one shot the opponent before they one shot you. Lethality Aatrox should not be a thing, but it's the most viable.

[@ibrahim5463]

personal opinion i don't like current meta, mostly because i main top and i fell its gotten stale with almost zero new changes(excpet for skaner, yasuo and yone nerfs and all three of these were not even intentional)

[@tmithoth8956]

Amumu will always be a secret OP pick... he embodies the forgotten champion.. his kit is perfect, his outplay potential has no end.. he compliments or dovetails beautifully with so many other meta picks.. but everyone thinks he is weak or not as good as he really is.. the problem is people who can master his playstyle, lean towards other champions, like Maokai. So the only time you see Amumu played, its not by an efficient player who fully understands the mechanics, the player's who can fully showoff amumu potential are bust tearing up the rift with Nunu... he can one vs one anyone in the meta at any stage of the game.. but he isn't super animated or has crazy wtf outplay moments, he just simply out trades and out sustains everyone... Any champion who can 1vs1 a Baron Gnasher without damage items or runes should never be slept on... its as if the LoL community made a secret agreement to make Amumu lore the reality... he is crying and looking for a friend, so everyone avoids picking him 😢 but honsetly, any tier list that doesnt include Amumu as A/above and potentially OP, is lying 😉

[@SouthernPossumVic]

Didn't expect to hear the COTW anthem for NZ.

[@hozimina]

Skarner got passed around too much, and is now a poke mage that builds tank. I feel that the only way we can make this version "balanced" is to hard nerf his base numbers and give him JG mods as compensation which if you are giving a jungler, let alone a tank jg, moster mods then you really fked up this champ.

[@cursedwyvern3044]

Poppy support? Bro I was playing that in 2018 with a 70% win rate. And I know it wasn’t just me.

[@Fgekc]

You should have seen Zyra on release if you think she does damage now. She was....ridiculous.

[@pablopandolfo8446]

would be nice to see velkoz and xerath be good in pro play for once. xerath's entire kit has less text than veigo's passive.

[@lubue5795]

Not sure I agree with your take on Skarner. In my opinion it's not something that's inherently wrong with his kit but is just the nature of a tank with OP numbers, which Skarner clearly has right now. Take Mao, can easily be flexed into the same three roles, benefits greatly from Fimbulwinter, can also deal damage on semi long range with E and even his Q which has about the same range as Skarner W, might not be quite as disorienting as Skarner E but is certainly far stickier with his W. And the same would also hold true for most other tanks like Ornn, Seju or god forbid K'Sante if the just had OP numbers. It's just more noticeable with Skarner right now because he's newer so people haven't gotten that used to him. But if they nerf him, I'm quite sure he can fit into the game like any other tank.

[@cloudwalker9572]

They are right in China, honestly Caitlyn feels horrible, they gutted the skill expression. Don't get me wrong the one shot on the squishy champ with the headshot rfc is stupid I 100% agre but if you stepped on the trap you deserved that head shot coming. Base headshot should have been nerfed not the one that needed the cait to play well because let's be honest it takes no skill to rfc headshot someone compared to landing a trap.

[@h2o848]

Corki is so ridiculously busted, he basically brought an F22 Raptor to a sword fight

[@dillytheguy130]

Great content as usual buddy

[@tmithoth8956]

I genuinely never build lethal tempo on Yone. It feels kind of troll and useless and actively reduces dps... his entire kit requires him to build attack speed items, if you're not building attack speed items, your combos will be clinky and lacking, if you do build attack speed items, you combos will be devastating, all thats needed is a little extra damage on top to cleanly execute people... pta or conqueror are much better... if you're still trading when lethal tenpo is stacked, you're not playing yone, youre just spamming buttons 😂 sure it helps in the early game when you lack attack speed items, but your laning phase will be the exact same with or without it. And it falls off horribly after 2 items, the more items you have, the less benefit of lethal tempo... pta/conquerer will still help you assert pressure in the early game, while also giving you a big dps boost in the late game.. honestly, lethal tempo Yone's are trolls

[@samhorstead4758]

Thank you, I always enjoy and appreciate your videos mate. However the statement “is the best ability/champ/item/rune even before being nerfed in the next patch” is a non statement, it’s redundant and just words to pad the script…. “Is the best x even after being nerfed in the previous patch” or “it is the best x and as such is being nerfed in the next patch” is a statement and something worth saying.

Warmog's is Busted right now, so many people on different champions are building warmog in high elo because it's game breaking, obviously you would never see it in low elo because no one even understands it

[@SepehrKiller]

just to explain it so you understand, Health and Mana are resources that you can't just use them without thinking and if you are low on mana or low on health you would have to recall in bad spots, TF never has a mana issue because if you know what you are doing with TF you have infinite mana with his W Blue Card, but after teamfights or duels when TF is low on health he has to recall, warmogs allows TF to stay on the map and heal back up to full hp this gives TF alot of Tempo and Map Pressure which is really really important Fundamental in the game specially in higher elos this is also why supports and so many other champions on different roles are Building Warmog or even rushing it as their first item the reason why this has never happened before is because riot changed Rune shards to give 150 health, so its way easier now to activate Warmog's passive
