Current Meta

In  LoL the current Meta is a huge role in what people play. For example, last season the meta was all about the tanky champions.  This current meta the jungle plays a huge role in deciding the meta. right now we are all about the assassins. How is the Meta decided? Everytime Riot creates a new patch/ change the meta could change. This season the Meta had changed because the creators buffed the jungle and support allowing the to gain gold easier. Riot is always trying to balance the game out. Last season they took a look at supports and junglers and saw they never reached their late game goals since they always soaked up gold to buy wards. So this is a good thing Meta changing means the game is evolving.
