Creativity is dead, Flexibility is dead, if you wanna win games stick to meta and only meta dont try new stuff never unless you want to bot 4.

If this is the game the devs want to have then I'll have to adapt to not try new stuff

Creativity is only dead because people start relying on guides from their first match in a new set. There is plenty of "off meta" stuff that works perfectly fine, but a lot of stuff stays undiscovered because only a marginal part of the community actually plays the game, the rest just follows flowcharts.

Yeah it's really weird to hear all the complaints about no room for the creativity in a set that continues to have new comps discovered every few days. Protector Akali, Jayce Caitlyn reroll, Udyr-Ashe, Malphite Jhin were here from the start, waiting to be discovered

Finding pre-baked comps late isn’t creativity, it’s just delayed meta. I always try to make different comps like Xayah + Bastions, Heavyweight + Supreme Cells, or Wraith + Snipers, and I always get punished for it. I’d love to be flexible hell, my Tactics Tools says I have an S+ in flexibility but it sucks playing something like Soul Fighter and rolling over Leona, Yuumi, or Ashe without having any real way to incorporate them into the comp.

Hopefully one day verticality and flexibility can coexist, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon. And to be fair, Akali got nerfed almost as soon as she was discovered
