You can't get punished for playing off-meta, can you?

I've been threatened with a lot of reports lately because I've been playing Ezreal support. They're not gonna do anything, are they?

Why would you play ezreal support...

JaspersMay 8, 20192 votes

Good damage. AP ratios are high. Endless poke. As long as he is doing the job of support he can play any champ in the role (just some are better than others).

0 peel 0 cc 0 engage 0 disengage 0 damage without farm Only his w and ult has ap ratios Definitely not endless poke without expensive tear items

ezreal is not a support

I've been doing Ori Support since some time before Season 7, and still haven't been punished for it... by Riot anyway. You do get a lot of immature losers throwing the match because they tilted before it even started over your offmeta pick though. Luckily LP disincentivizes this behavior somewhat. Play Ranked.

well as long as you are playing to win you can't get banned

He got unbanned shortly after because they realized how stupid that was...

xDogMeatxMay 8, 20191 votes

but still it happened. thats not also mentioning the threats to perma ban his account despite playing off meta.

They only adviced him to play with a duo since the strat is so off meta that most people wouldn't know how to play with it. And people crying for reports because they don't understand the rules.

actually its "if your whole team dont want you to play support singed but do it anyways its reportable" Riot is not forcing the meta on you its just that your teammates dont like your pick summoner spell smite while supporting with singed basically.

he got only banned because of an insane amount of people that reported him he got unbanned shortly after getting banned

if you play to win, generally no you will not get punished. I've played neeko adc since her release and I haven't been punished yet (over 600ish games across 2 different accs).

Nah, Unless you do what i did last night you won't get punished Just mute the players instead of retaliating and you won't get a suspension like i did for snapping and cussing out my team for harassment which led to a 4x

Just play to win and you'll be fine : )
