Off Meta Picks

So a lot of people are going on about getting troll picks in their ranked games, draft games, whatever they play. A far fetched example would be Cassiopeia jungle, Nami mid, etc. But whoever does this isn't trying to mess up your game. They just think it's good. But that being said, I certainly do NOT want these people in my games. I'm sure you don't either.

These people just want to try these things out, see how they perform, in other words. They want to mess around without being reported. So why can't we have a game mode that let's us do this. Draft pick, but extremely, and I mean extremely laid back. Go ahead, lock in your Warwick support, or your Rumble jungle. But by choosing this game mode, you know what you're getting into. You're not gonna have your, marksman bot, tank/fighter top. You're gonna have what you want.

I think, this would help people flex their creative muscles outside of training mode against real people and keep them out of mine, and your games.

Naturally, I would feel there would be discussion around this and I would love to hear it. So please do in the comments.

Play nice

I get where the sentiment comes from, but part of off-meta picks being so interesting and fun is trying to make them work against strong meta picks. You don’t help further develop strategy in the game by ignoring the meta. You do so by defying it.

What about already existing mods: _Co-op vs Ai _(extremely laid back game against bots, best for off-meta picks, trying things out and messing around), and _Custom game _(where you choose everything to your taste: Blind, Draft, ARAM, Tournament draft, SR, TT, vs Ai, vs real players, vs your friends, vs random people, number of players etc)?
