Went from 1450 ranked to 1300 ranked in 2 days. Bleh.
Grats Jozzy on the job!!!!!!!!!!!
Joz what do you think about the current metagame? People have been describing it as the tanky DPS metagame but I honestly think it's gone even further than that now. I think right now the current state of LoL is jungling. Which team has a jungler, which champ is it, if both teams have a jungler then which is better, which team suffers FB to a jungler, etc. The kiting metagame has moved on and the tanky DPS has emerged but I'm finding it directly correlated to jungling. In normal or ranked nowadays you never see a match without a jungler. Usually both teams have one! I remember 6 months ago it was rare to see a jungler period.
Maybe it's due to the fact that there are so many champs that can jungle now? People have started to abuse jungle Amumu (Dragon dead before 5 minute mark). I think the reason he's perma-banned in ranked now isn't because of his "tanky DPS" but because of his ability to jungle and what he does to the game when he does jungle.
I'm not really saying it's a problem but I'm finding a hard time grasping how to put matches in my favor. Buy 3 wards in each lane at level 1? Hell if I know! I can put a ward in the river in my lane and the jungler (who almost always has ghost) still comes out like a bat out of hell and FB. Lanes without a ward give FB every single match to the jungler.
One match I played over the weekend was decided because we DID have a jungler who kept being ganked repeatedly by the enemy team who bought wards at 1.
I'm very surprised that the community hasn't picked up on this meta shift already.
