Been to S4 before but S3 is highest I've been, Just to show that you don't need to be a meta sheep.
Also what made the climb so hard is mostly my teammates would flame and tilt and sometimes even TROLL because I took Tryndamere support. I hope some people in low elo can understand the stupidity of this behaviour, but from my experience many low elo players don't.
If they see a non meta pick they start tilting, flaming and trolling.

Bobloser35551 votesDid you even read my post? I haven't been to S3 this season so its the highest I've been.
Bobloser35551 votesOh and I am not talking for high elo players obviously, but guess what, off meta picks are first "TROLL" picks according to meta sheep, then they become meta picks and the meta sheep follow...happens all the time.
BeatzBoyFTW1 votesBronze & Silvers stay Bronze & Silver because of this exact reason: Unnecessarily picking off-meta in the wrong elo. Congrats on your climb, but this is honestly not a really big thing to celebrate about.
Bobloser35551 votesWell my goal was to get to s3 with a "troll" pick. I have not managed to do so with a meta pick in my previous attempt (I probably would sooner or later) but I think the pick is not that much of a deal, it's more about making the correct choices, game knowledge which I admit I and people in my elo don't have.
Bobloser35551 votesyou didnt get the point that off meta is not necessarily bad, I've played Malph and Brand support when it was considered a troll pick...
elo trash2 votesTBF you can do anything in low elo. a friend proved that to me by playing thresh jg, soraka mid and yasuo top and absolutely fucking people that were bronze-silv range over.
Bobloser35551 votesI disagree, while in high elo the margin for error becomes less, in low elo you will be at the same disadvantage if you make a bad pick.
elo trash1 votesDepends on the players skill rating. as I said my friend proved that anything can happen, he created a second account to see where he would get placed and went 10-0 and got placed silver 1, a week later he was plat with a 90% winrate
Bobloser35551 votesOh a plat player can play Soraka mid against silver players? nothing new there, you're just stating the obvious. I am pointing out that if someone picks off meta don't flame him because it does not automatically mean he is trolling.
elo trash1 votesim not blaming him? i literally said to be fair anything in low elo is possible?? Im not sure if you didnt read my message or just interpretted it wrongly.
Bobloser35551 votesI am saying a bad pick is not possible even in low elo, but stop to consider that it might not be a bad pick at all?!
BEK Makadur1 votesThe thing is, ifi you climb with bad picks, that is not due to the pick but rather your skill. At sole point tryn sup just wont work anymore because you get punished.
The lower you go, the more it depends on your skill and passion about a champ.
Bobloser35551 votesexactly but this "Elo Trash" guy doesnt get it, he thinks you can just pick anything and win
