GC meta is ass - so few champ option + Ai dependent

Even if u have a good counter - ai can f*ck you in the match
If u draft certain champ like jean + onslaught for 3rd round GG

I will take your word and along with Beroman’s on it. It does look like zero fun, but I was planning on being a bottom feeder Uru one and done summoner anyway.

Kinda unrelated but where I’m at (below GC) that power lock is sooooo annoying

The glitchyness and frame-skipping is in full force on this one.

Yeah they need to stop with these AI dependant metas and just complicated ones in general especially when they're just throwing a bunch of bs nodes together and calling it a day. Maybe when Maw Korg Hulkling and Bishop were top defenders metas like this one were required because defender kits weren't so heavily packed with bs but now? Most meta defenders already have a **** ton of built in nodes we don't need more, take Jean for example (and I'm not saying she's an op defender by any means just that she already has so much on her kit it gets ridiculous when they add a tough mix of nodes on top what she already has) she has built in random reversed controls, she has a shield which makes her VERY tanky and if you use a champ whose main source of damage is crits she applies a **** ton of stacking exhaustions on you which makes your damage worse after every crit. This wouldn't be so bad if that was the only thing you had to worry about but thanks to this bs meta not only do your have to worry about that but you have to make sure to line up your main source of damage with her shield being down and the protection also being down which you achieve by dealing with the reversed controls while you also attempt to intercept and make sure you don't go over the bar of power you need because of polka dot which only gives you power while the defender has a damaging effect on them. I mean this is just absolutely **** ridiculous and don't even get me started with Serpent and Dark Phoenix cause those two are a guaranteed lost round straight up purely because of the fact that even their best counters in the game struggle taking them down in under a minute.

Im not reading all that so congratulations! Or sorry that happened to you

I’m assuming this is just really bad RNG, but I’ve literally gone 15 matches without seeing my Spiral in the draft. Multiple times I’ve checked my deck to make sure she wasn’t dropped.

I feel your pain. I know drafts are rng but I’ve literally gone days without seeing certain champs in my rolls which sounds ridiculous but it’s genuine

^adding to the above, I haven’t seen my CGR in weeks (yes he’s still in there) 😟

You missed the 3rd possibility,

As someone who will be happy with whatever rank I land.... I'm finding this meta funny. Yes, and I personally don't mind it.

Many timeouts. Yay.

I read first two line in clobs reply, I agree they should save the ai dependent metas for week 1/2, not 3/4

This is a hard meta.

My 5k point grind just got more tedious and longer....shii

My main issues are that (1) the AI seems to interpret protection falling off as time to turtle and (2) the AI suppresses even the most special-happy champs from throwing their specials.

All those summoners who can't seem to draft the champs they would like, make sure you are aware that if you ban a champ, they are banned for both players. So if you banned your opponents CGR or spiral, you can't use them yourself.
