I'm all for off meta stuff but seriously

Having no adc bot lane is straight up trolling.

Also their are things like kill lanes bot that are off meta. Stuff like xin panth bot or j4 yasou bot etc.

Well, technically speaking the "meta" is adc with support in bot lane so if you don't do that then wouldn't that be appropriately called off meta?

Or are we talking like the smaller version of the "meta" i.e. lucian is the meta adc right now and jinx is off meta?

Or are we going further and talking about off meta like kennen or tf adc?

Damn the word meta gets thrown around a lot doesn't it?

I'm ok with stuff like Malphite support Vi mid blitz top or full ap zac. I'm even ok with someone playing adc Malzahar. But I've literally never seen an adcless team win. A team MUST have an adc if you want to play Teemo Heimerdinger bot than you better have Quinn or Vayne top or Corki mid.

First game was my friend and I going full AP malphite/alistar bot lane

Second and third match my friend and I went Malz/kench bot lane to spit space aids at them.

your argument is therefore invalid

Like I said I have never seen it happen the team with no adc always loses. I don't want to be on a team with no adc.

And I just gave you three examples where it did happen

When I'm in a game where we stomp with no adc is when I'll be ok with this.

I disagree with the must have an adc to win.

I feel like an adc simply gives the best chance of winning so taking anything else in ranked would be stupid but in norms? You should see some of the stupid comps me and my friends have done that work. 5 supports, 5 tanks with zzrot and banners, 5 mid etc. So much stupid shit works because people aren't prepared for it.

I will reiterate that having and adc is meta because it is the most optimal way to play the game (barring individual champions and skill levels) to get the highest win rate. That doesn't mean its the only way to win but again, you should always have an adc on your team in ranked.

Nothing necessarily means you will lose, its just noncompetitive.

Just because you can win something doesn't mean that it "works" or its viable

You've clearly never faced a competent Braum/Yas bot lane. That sht is SCARY!

I won a game as Katarina support with Yi ADC, anything is possible

If there is an ADC playing top, mid and/or jungle, you don't necessarily need another one bottom lane.
