titles says it all,
For me Dual ineptitude was worse and my favourite was the dervish smite meta.
What about you?

When Mesmers had Incoming and Blinding Surge.

The one just before Factions was released, You were never sure what style of build you would come up against. Split, Spike, Front Loaded Preassure, Balanced or combinations of the first 3 with heaps of variations in how to go about any of them.

Plus The one thing you never saw was highly defensive stalling builds which just want to sit there till VoD since everyone wanted to get rating as quickly as possible.

I loved it when the first, titled anyways, Eurospike was rampant. It was around when the Celestial Tourney was after Nightfall was released. I couldn't say what my least favorite meta was...when I gvged I loved it all

Fav-BoA Sin
Least-Lingering Curse/Heavy Hex meta

tigros · May 28, 2009, 07:30 AM // 07:30

Any kind of meta that favors split play...

lolcopter · May 28, 2009, 09:12 AM // 09:12

I loved the late 2007 meta. Trying to get around multipile layers of defense was pretty fun to do, especially as a Ranger or Mesmer.

Sineptitude/Omegaspike meta's tie for my most hated meta.

JR · May 28, 2009, 10:32 AM // 10:32

Favorite meta... Any of the ones in which it was feasible to run 3 Warriors and 2 Rangers.

Least Favorite... Grenth Dervish train. Was the most annoying shit in the world to play against Dervishes that hit for big domage and you couldn't use prot.

I honestly didn't know a person like you existed.

Favorite

Before bsurge with ether prodigy powering a utility midliner, or with the 5 energy bsurge and un-nerfed melee ward (eurospike!), good times to play elementalist.

Worst

Asian builds, TACT style builds that relied on the massive lag caused by playing on their servers or the usual Me style crap (sinsplit, a/d spike)

As much as people worship the asians for their play i don't think i will ever miss games with 5k ping and some of the lamest builds ever created.

[Lightning Orb][Lightning Strike][Blinding Flash][Windborne Speed][Ether Prodigy][Heal Party][Healing Breeze][Res] <3

Worst meta was the spike meta before the May update. The current one is pretty boring, too.

Burton2000 · May 28, 2009, 02:24 PM // 14:24

Euro spike meta was definatly my favourite.
Worst was definatly smiters boon,Ineptitude/clumsiness npc farm meta.

distilledwill · May 28, 2009, 02:39 PM // 14:39

I think the meta where everyone was a freaking water ele.

Or the one where it was best to just get all dmg to run the flag till VOD.

Favourite, I actually like Turret rangers! I also liked spiritway, with the two ranger spirits and /rt healers. Good times!

Adding to that probably anything pre NightFall, post NightFall the above at rare times, after Nightfall there was a time/meta that was semi balanced when primary water eles were being used with mind freeze+a rage+splinter fun fun.

Worst meta probably the grenth trains with searing flames, jagged bones, paragon meta just after Nightfall that were energy engines for casters, especially monks and no one died.

I Angra I · May 28, 2009, 04:59 PM // 16:59

DF honor/dR split times were pretty fun.

All of the metas right after nightfall were really terrible (spiritual pain spike, sf eles, grenth dervs, etc)

Burton2000 · May 28, 2009, 05:34 PM // 17:34

Oh damn i forgot shadow of haste sin meta that was damn fun to play.

MaaKotka · May 28, 2009, 07:38 PM // 19:38

I liked almost everything before Nightfall

Worst: Grenth dervish trains, paragorn meta when no-one died or ritualist spirit meta.

Snow Bunny · May 28, 2009, 07:48 PM // 19:48

LoD meta.

I miss you soooooooooooooo much <3

Morgan Crowe · May 29, 2009, 11:20 AM // 11:20

Best Meta was when almost everyone played with Mo/A and Ranger, Mesmer, Paragon Midline. We are close to it at the moment, if there weren't more paragons or more hexers.

Worst Meta was the last one. Twice a victory of this stupid omega spike in a monthly (thank god it was a guild that deserved gold at least) and way too many overpowered builds.

Also I like most metagames after balance updates when there aren't really op builds and you can try a lot. So I really loved the metagame when nightfall came out until Mesmerspike became famous :s
