This post is the foreword of the topic "Role & lane: meta", which dedicates to the concepts of roles and lanes and meta(s). These concepts cover a large amount of the most important knowledge needed to know for every decent player of League, in my view. That is the basic information explaining how the game would be and a little bit of how the game could be designed; it helps us figure out how to play a champion the right ways, and many other basic issues on playing League.
In this topic of "Roles and lanes: meta", I try to cast some light on by conveying my understanding of the knowledge I did master on the stuff. Starting with the most complicated concepts: roles, lanes, and meta(s); and then discussing the two important related issues: (1) summoner spells and (2) the very fist game phase of bans and picks. Finally, I discuss a little bit more on the two roles I think to be really different and special and somewhat more complex in comparison with the remaining ones: jungle and support. This topic includes five posts, relating to each other and together covering the basic issues of roles and lanes and meta of League from my point of view:
Post 1: "5/1 Roles and lanes: how and why? Meta breakdown!" lays down the foundation of how the roles enter the lanes and how they are combined into the formation of meta(s), with a little bit discussion on how the map were designed for strict reasoning and more clarity. This post would explain how the game would be like by providing an overall look of strict reasoning.
Post 2: "5/2 Summoner's spells: which, how, and why?" discusses an other important factor of playing League, which also contributes to the formation of meta(s): summoner's spells, with some further suggestions.
Post 3: "5/3 The 'null phase' of a game: bans and picks. How?" discusses on of the most important phase of a game. In my view, how to pick the champions for a game is one of the most important factors deciding the final outcome of the game. The decision making must be based on the understanding of roles and lanes and meta (and summoner's spells, of course), so this post follows the two previous ones and servers as the discussion of the very first game phase.
Post 4 and 5: "5/4 Support: master of the river" and "5/5 Jungle: what is and how to" discuss the two particular roles: support and jungle, which in my view are quite different and special in comparison with the remaining ones and so need to be discussed a little bit more.
In my views, these 5 posts together would provide the necessary and complete understanding of the most fundamental issues on playing League, as decent players.
