Even with the meta being what it is the game is setup for players try different things, different builds, different play styles, different lanes for different champs. So what have you tried that most people say shouldn't work but does?
Right now, in a bid to get to back to gold before time's up I've started playing Morgana in the Top Lane. With basic runes and masteries I've done either full mage or the super effective full tank with amazing success.
full tank suport leblanc ( max cdr rush is a must )
or 
first item afther ss
20 cdr on runes and masteries ( usualy frozen mallot is better than black cleaver but not always )
w - e combo where u use w as a gab closer to get in range gives litle to no counterplay to most people and comese verry unexpected
3 snares take flash with you have a shitload of mobility clone that automaticly baits you kils
free deepwards without even having to consider if the enemy jg might be to close and able to get u
enemy team just got a quadra kil ? rush there get spotted walk them around the map a few times without anny risk while they could have been getting objectives :P
Gunblade Jax, with AD and AP scaling runes, and AD & AP masteries.
Gives Jax an amazing early-mid game and allows him to snowball hard especially once he gets a sheen and start building Tri force. BOTRK may be optimal, but it does nowhere near the same amount of damage until late game, and that is only if the enemy team has a decent amount of HP. Gunblade Jax sustains for days since he uses spell vamp from his Q, W, E and his ult procs, and the damage is immense from a leap and ulti sheen proc with a W auto reset.
Surprisingly good in a Malphite lane as you can sustain his strong poke and you can burst him in chunks without being bullied away.
If you're in lane with someone reasonably squishy like Riven, Gangplank or a Mage, then Gunblade will help you dominate them.
i play
i see people build and on him
i find first building 
into 
into a second , 
. 
and when ever 
is done i prioritize 
so i can get both stacked up before 40 mins or shortly after but the surrendering meta in the past year makes that sort of difficult.
i usually dont fall behind just manage mana before my first back for tear and charge poke smartly avoid spamming e for him if you can before the enemy gets half hp and then after that use e for the sure q lands and the w for the shield's slow and once you get manamune you dont even have to spam q to charge the tear just basic attack and you get lots of damage when you build so you shouldnt lose lane. try not to be aggressive pre lvl 4 versus more aggressive guys and its important that you dont build before is done chargeing cause then 's transformation into 
will take priority and charges more slowly than and after is done 's passive where stacks mana builds on basic attacks will continue as long as you have or i still have yet to see if the basic attacks then charge 8 stacks since is done but even so it should be faster and safter unless you have spamming q while you moveing and even then still safer cause you can still run out of mana before you get
playing urgot you basically sit back and farm before level 4 and 2 points in your q after that harrass your oppoenet out of lane after you get a tear and save your ult until they make the mistake of trying to farm while you sit at the edge of your tower and they in range as you dont ulting automatticly active w and hit them to slow them and hit them with the e q combo to get kills with and you almost double the stats the passive on both gives you with stats you have a shield around 40%-30% of your max hp and another just incase
with you get tons of damage that even off between gaining and loseing some where around 40% of your mas mana while useing passive permanently on and spamming q while making sure to hit an enemy in the middle of q's to max damage and proc spell blade passive from and all in one its far stronger than the alternate build its also tanky unless your get 3-5 man ganked and self sustaining in both hp and mana
Edit: I thought i had left out an item in usually use 
for the extra life steal and passive shield but i did once and it was good 
seems like it would fit broken passive with strong synergy some times when people were getting through my sheilds or before my shield was done i and was also getting away from me and i got tired of it i got 
people can hardly get away. and when ijsut really want to wreck the enemy and they dont seem to focus me i the but seks sword
