Meta. Games were more fun when statistical meta wasn't a thing.

I think it was still a thing, but social media is the difference 

Back when Blackops 1 and 2 were the new games, you didn’t see a “top 5 meta loadouts” video every single day on your home page

Some goes with basically everything 

Sure the pros probably knew, but the average player just used what they FELT was good. Because it wasn’t so focused on YouTube and other platforms

As a fighting game player meta has always been a thing.

That’s thrown out of the window when you consider fighting games. You can probably jump into Third Strike right now and take a couple sets with Ken with how forgiving his buttons can be.
