Can we stop saying this. Just because developers say it doesnt make it true. I'm literally flamed every day in low diamond high plat whenever I want to play what I want and I'm constantly forced to attempted to play meta picks by kids who are willing to throw whole games by afking because you didnt listen to them. I dont know what planet you guys live on where you can play whatever and no one cares because I will literally get an afk 50% of my games trying to do that. The meta is simply the most effective strategy it exists at every elo whether kids play it or not and whether or not jeff wants to believe it or not. I dont play this game due to bad balance, ragers and afks, and the development team not understanding those things and then just saying I dont know what I'm talking about then switching the power level of characters by 40-50% every 2 weeks and saying I'm stupid for not getting it. I'm tired of this dumb shit. Literally none of this ever happens in other games because they are actually trying to a achieve a form of "balance". That's literally the point of the fucking word. Balancing doesnt involve changing your meta every 2 weeks that's called "bananas" Let the meta handle itself just stop making your characters in your game so shitty to deal with and making them shittier on a more rapid basis doesnt help. Fuck.
