Massive roster-based titles like Apex Legends, Dota 2, and League of Legends usually carry a popular meta. The viability of characters defines the meta, and their innate strengths and weaknesses also play a key role. Usually, off-meta picks will attract negative comments from teammates, who do not see the same value as you. It often raises an important question, whether players should take up out of meta units or follow the trend.
