That’s a funny pic mine if I save it?

There isn't a single game with a competitive element that doesn't have a meta of some sort. A meta isn't some inherent property of a game, it develops in response to people interacting with the game.

Yes, trying to mimic those who are better than you gives you an advantage. That being said, 9 times out of 10, everyone in your game (including you) are shitters, and playing the meta won't mean as much as understanding the game well.

A meta will always exist, even in single player games

It's not required you autistic faggot you can literally play sub optimally if you truly want to instead of following the meta you fucking degenerate sack of shit how fucking retarded are you that you can't wrap your stupid fucking head around that simple fact that YOU DON'T HAVE TO FUCKING FOLLOW THE GOD DAMN META IF YOU DON'T WANT TO IT'S NOT REQUIRED YOU DOUBLE NIGGER

The week before people realized how powerful he had become through meta changes was the only week I ever enjoyed league. Quit after he was nerfed.

This. Meta is for meta game, not some retarded zoomer backronym. Its an inherent part of competing.

Yes, but singleplayer metas have nothing to do with actually playing the game, retard. They're stupid shit like speedrunning metas that have no bearing on how the actual game is played. There is no DMC meta.

I wish I could confidently say dumb shit like you, kinda jelly

yes? this is normal and how it should be.
However, the difference should be minimal and only be noticed at the highest levels of play.
In league of legends however, as an example of a game with shit balance, not playing the meta puts you at a disavantage no matter what level of play you're at. Because the developers have no idea how to balance the game, more often than not, they will gut down, not just nerf, but flat out make unplayable any offmeta picks/builds.
inb4 in low elo you can win with whatever you want, YES, you could also win harder, way easier and more often if you were playing the meta, in your stupid smurf account, because we all know you can't play offmeta on your main because it isn't viable.

this bitch got fat after her 15 minutes of fame
many such cases unfortunately

Is the way to outgame the metagamers to just make everything a one hit kill?

isn't that the average spic after reaching their 20's?

>He/She is really cute!
That should be what all you should be saying.

>he fell for the competitive gayman meme
dringe, enjoy being a metazombie

>inb4 in low elo you can win with whatever you want
quite literally the opposite
in league the higher the elo the more you see creative offmeta stuff

Every game will have an optimal strategy to beat it user.
You getting mad over it is like getting mad at the rain falling.

This is true but it doesn't happen all the time. Players with greater knowledge of the game and its mechanics feel comfortable picking offmeta champions or playing wacky roles because they know how to make it work.

Yeah if anything, meta that dominates just make off meta picks shine even more.

name one game where this is not the case
no pure luck games like coin flips allowed

So are rouge builds a thing in MMOs and completive games like TCGs or is it meta or lose/kicked?

>bending the knee to the meta in any game
free your mind
