I know that enjoyment is super subjective, but in my experience, enjoyment has been about what’s fun. I’ve always tried to do fun stuff in games, but meta has taken over games so much that I’m thinking of taking a break from them.
Obviously, in PvP games, there will always be optimal things and things that won’t, but even in Co-op games and some single-player games, everything is focused on a meta until it gets nerfed and then a new meta arises. One of my favourite games of all time, Destiny, was a victim to meta, and it got so bad that if you didn’t have a particular weapon or armour piece or upgrade, you’d be kicked from the game and sometimes even from the friend group.
For any game, you can look up “most fun characters in whatever game“ or “most fun builds in whatever game“ and get a sea of tier lists for what’s optimal and what is garbage, and maybe three videos on how to have fun. Is anyone else having this problem of pushing away metas and just trying to have some fun?
