I was flamed for rushing Bork on Jinx when it first went live

But look at what the pro LCS players are doing now.... rushing the new bork on everyone including jinx. And guess what everyone else is doing now?

Just a cool story, i know... but thinking back on that irritates me. Having a good idea to do something on my own and someone goes "No FUCK YOU YOU IDIOT YOU SHOULDNT DO THAT THATS STUPID" but then it actually DOES become meta and its like "I never said that; its a great idea i do it too"

Imitators will be imitators. It's why people would flame MF Support before it was exposed at Worlds Why people would call Gunblade Ahri/LB trolling until it was played in even a single game Ziggs in the bot lane period!

That's how absorbing pro play is on the minds of viewers. It's not always the solution to be a good player to your own right.

that's why flamers are often the dumbest players of LoL. 100% always ignore them.

Teams used to say stuff like "gg trash champ mid" when I used to play Syndra before she was popular because of the 3 sphere pick up

Now look at her.

Why do you even listen to what random and in most cases 5 year old kids have to say to begin with? Do what you want to do in game and mute them if they give you any lip.

Funny story about that actually: after the bork changes I immediately tried a bunch of adc's top in an attempt to see how big those were (did toplane bork+runanns jinx, bork+cleaver lucian, and even did a kog game). Although it was frowned upon by many of the players I played with ("Kog top, you're an idiot!"), I think I had like 25 kills pre-15 in the 6 games I played with them, ultimately showing how powerful that item is/was into the tank meta.

Yep. People from every elo can predict and create the next new meta. Not saying all or most off-meta builds are great, but some of them turn out to be brilliant. As well as off-role picks.

Ex: morg support (was 1yr ahead of everyone before it first became the rage in pro scene), naut support, naut top, item 3022 item 3153 item 1419 jungler builds, etc. Just waiting for high elo players to bust out a new item 3053 item 3078 build for jax or irelia... or go 40%cdr item 3078 item 3053 item 3071 darius build. It is disgusting. item 3102 item 3001 Chogath vs a double ap comp also seems very strong - potential final items item 3116 plus either item 3110 item 3193 (if going tank) or some combination of item 3135 item 3151 item 3089 item 3091 if going ap
