How many people actually play very very off-builds?

I don't mean stuff like AP Ezreal mid or Kha'Zix Top. I mean stuff like AP Jhin or the soon-to-be-gone AP Warwick. There's a lot of antipathy towards people who do this, and it seems that it's starting to reflect in the scalings of new reworked characters, with Riot being incredibly conservative with their AP scaling, and even removing it, as shown in Xin Zhao and now Warwick's case.

I think the main reason people are adverse to this is because they don't like having weaker teammates and having a bigger chance of losing, and people **definently **should not go these builds in ranked, or even without teammate permission in normals,.

I just wish they would keep the AP scaling on Warwick's Q, and lower it if they deemed it too toxic. Playing stupid, crappy characters is fun for me, even though I know others dislike feeling unpowerful, but now it feels kinda shoehorned into going these build paths.

This is my little rant. Sorry for wasting your time. :(

One of my favorites is AP Janna mid and AD/AP Eve Top/Mid.

It can be very surprising, especially in low elo, but you need thick skin, since you will literally get 100% of all of the blame if anything goes wrong.

If top lane feeds, it's your fault. If jungle misses smite, it's your fault. And you will get reported every loss, and if you do it too much you'll get in trouble just from the volume of reports (a la Smite Support singed)
