That moment when your in champion select and not only are you last pick, but your team consists of Eve jungle, Soraka mid, and Blitz top.
No. This isnt nemesis draft. This is ranked. FML
THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DODGE
Sozan51 votesYou are able to dodge.
Don't see why you should be able to dodge without penalties though.
DorkunedAuras1 votesEve is a viable jungler, Soraka mid is perfectly fine, blitz top can certainly work.. it's idiots like you that insist that every champion have ONE role, and never break the mold, that keeps this game stagnant. I got flamed for soraka mid, then I killed everything in mid, then the LCS did it, then I get praised. Just because it's not the current meta doesn't mean it can't work.

I am not a meta only person.
If you want to play someone who is only slightly viable in a certain role. Thats fine. But you can not honestly think a soraka mid, and Blitzcrank top will do good in a ranked game.
If they had at least played champions who's roles matched where they were going IE Velkoz mid, Swain mid, Talon mid or any other medium/low tier pick. I wouldnt have minded. Blitzcrank and soraka are support champions. Not mid or top lane champions.
DorkunedAuras1 votesBlitz has a 1.0 AP ratio on both his pull and ult, along with another .2 on his ult's passive. grab a lich bane for his E, and you have respectable damage. If you want to go AD, he has a strong AS steroid, an AA reset with bonus damage off of AD, and a pull. Also respectable.
soraka mid can be quite annoying. Sure she can't heal herself the same way she used to, but if her Qs keep landing, she will harass you out of lane while keeping healed. Along with a silence/snare, she is quite helpful to jungle ganks. A solid pick of played right. Just because something is a "support" champ, doesn't mean that they can't do other things.
Nidalee was a "support" champ for a long time, until people figured out her spears did insane damage when AP was built, and then she became a mid laner. And then you know the rest of her history from there.
Alistar was an OP top laner for a few patches when people figured out you could proc sheen after a headbutt. Still a support, solo laning like a champ, and being hell to lane against in that.
Supports are put in that role because they have CC that can be used to get carries fed. There is nothing in that that says they are weak or vulnerable, or incapable of solo laning.
Just because someone is taking a champion outside of the place where it seems they make sense, doesn't mean that they're trolling. It can just mean that they have an alternate and unexpected strategy to abuse.
wolfax1 votesYou're more than welcome to dodge. You have penalties for dodging though, as it should be.
