Problem of people narrow minded of only meta works. The word is toxic!
I've always played all my champs out of meta many times before and I have won and loss many games but its frustrating when everyone on my team all refuse to cooperate and giving the chance to let it play out because "It is not the META." the word META is more toxic than the people. That word is an illness. That word is not only in LoL it is in every competitive game that has a selection of characters, items, plays, type, class and ect. A lot of games say be original but lets be honest no one is and the good players can win in and out of meta cause if you copy something you're using a strategy you did not create or came up with and you're just following instructions on a premade product like a frozen dinner with is consistent in being good compared to a homemade meal that be a flop or a gourmet meal
