I'm always going to play non meta champs

slippykitten·Mar 26, 2015·5 votes·1,173 views

Honestly, I like that there are certain champs that are just not played very often, and those are always going to be my favorite.

I can pretty much always wreck face with fizz, but it just isnt satisfying. But destroying a Sion toplane with eve just brings so much more joy.

What i'm saying is that yeah, balance should probably exist, but i really like having virtually unseen champs to play and there is nothing like listening to the enemy team rage on someone for losing midlane to an urgot.

don't pick anything just to pick it, Learn the champ select mini game. Eve vs. Sion makes sense cause sion hates people who can break his slow and therefore avoid his q. Eve vs. Pantheon is going to hurt most likely.

the champ select mini game is deep, the best thing to is find whats meta then find off picks that shut it down

I'm pretty similar. I always tend toward the unpopular champs so I can make them my own and people tend to remember when an off-meta did well.

I was main Cassiopeia before it was cool. And now I'm spamming Gangplank , although I don't really hope for any rise in popularity for the pirate before he gets any important changes.

I don't play off meta, but I do go out of my way to avoid fotm.

the fact that there is a "meta" clearly says these are the stronger champions. and people who know nothing about the people they're with, all agree to pick these champions regardless.

it means that they are in fact stronger better champions with more utility. its not just "one handed ahri" or "a yay i shot a rocket in your face jinx" but rather they bring more utility to the team, and the team is all around better for having those champions over a lux or a miss fortune.

all champions should be equal in winrate to pickrate.

You are the person i love to play against for that reason. You just cannot conceptualize how you lost bot to a support skarner, because it wasnt in lcs. Makes me giggle just thinking about you.

Nonono: Support Yorick. His ghost is infinitely better than that crappy lockdown-surpression-switch Urgot has :P How could that even be used as a support?

makes me laugh hysterically how you think skarner sup could possible be useful, im going to pick cait bot, have a leona sup, and im going to take pot shots on you all day and super pressure/punish you two for not being able to engage/heal yourselves and im going to shut down your adc. and post level 6 im just going to last hit and going to get you ganked because you have no escape outside of flash, so our jungler will purposfuly camp bot knowing you cant do anything about it. so ty for feeding me.

edit, oh wait, your summoner level 7.... sorry for educating you.

I'm not summoner lvl 7, not sure why it says that. Also, this is an alt so it doesnt matter anyway.

I agree with you in reality though. There is a meta for a reason, and in optimal circumstances, you would be right on the outcome. But thats what i love about league - It's NEVER optimal circumstances. Youre team is never 100% cooperative, and you never perform like you expect to. This means i can outplay your team with anything, and it is just so much more fun to.

I hate picking the flavor of the month champions with a blind passion. I used to play Akali before the boards started raging about how OP she was, then some of the fun of it just kinda died off because Akali was everywhere. I don't necessarily choose break the meta picks, but more so off meta picks. Every once in a while though i'll pick up Quinn mid, or Hecarim mid, jungle Cho' Gath, and just have fun :D

As a person who mains Varus, Karma, Zyra and Twisted Fate (the most popular of whom is picked 3.6% of the time) ... trust me, I know the feeling.

Same. Its just a bonus that alot of people forget how to play against these champions since they are so focused on being LCS sheep and copying 100% of what the pros do.

Alot of people do not know the terror that is a fed
