@Taisiakat meta doesn’t mean naming decent builds that you enjoy using… see my incredibly wise post here Is the meta at its worst state ever? - #32 by Jainus explaining it, and also my views on the current state… Meta as in ‘variety’ is actually better… sort of…
In theory, by definition the meta should get beta over time simply as there are more troops.
The horrid meta situations we’ve faced over the last (almost) three years have typically arisen because of design or balance flaws. Sometimes these arose as unforeseen consequences of wider game growth and changes. Webspinner was great when troops’ max level was 10. It was broken as hell when that Magic stat grew and it could spam 13 gems on every cast. Other situations arise when troops that are stronger appear, as powercreepery is a thing too. Others are when things are done which are just clearly silly.
