I put more of the blame on lack of meta shifts to the community . People seem to want to play according to the meta . Riot enabling and empowering most people to play the way they want only makes sense to me . The fact you can get banned for playing offmeta is a clear factor and it should be blatantly obvious that this is a big reason as to why you can ' t play anything offmeta , except for champions . As soon as you try something new you got people blaming the game on you and wanting to report you . <| sep |> I remember TBC being very competitive . Elitist Jerks forum in its prime . <| sep |> That is true . What games do you think is great with pacing on exposition ? <| sep |> Even when trying to wear an outrageous shirt it comes off as stupid and desperate .
