THE gamestate
League of Legends. Refers to a current occurence in season16 (aka SZN16) where you are very ahead but can't progess the game through objectives like towers, inhibitors, baron or dragon and throwing results in a very massive goldswing. Often refers to the scenario where you took 2 inhibs but can't end the game versus high waveclear but can't take anything for it. A "gamestate" champion refers to high waveclear scaling champions that capitalise on a single throw (Jinx, Ziggs, Aurelion Sol, Veigar etc.)
We are in the gamestate now, we can't throw or they will farm inhib waves for 5 minutes and be 2 levels ahead of us.
