**Summarise the meta in four sections:**
1. What is dominant right now: the one to three strategies, characters, decks, or loadouts that are overperforming
2. What to avoid: approaches that used to work but no longer do, or that are countered by the current dominant strategies
3. The underrated option: one non-dominant approach that is viable and being overlooked
4. What to expect from opponents: the likely strategy a random opponent is playing and the mindset to counter it
Keep the focus practical: what should the player actually do with this information?
