I had a game where I was going an off meta build, they guy spam pinged my items the whole game repetitively and I couldn't tell who it was so I didn't know how to report them. Completely cowardly.
Muting everyone's pings also didn't solve the problem, the pings still went through in the chat.
Mal the Red7 votesI would just say. "I'm not getting rid of it, fuck off."
And hope they out themself as the spammer.
PearPearadox8 votesThey don't. They just keep on spamming.
Thryale2 votesat least longsword builds into gunblade ;) 15% heals from lux's burst isn't that bad :D
koshkyra6 votesMe: builds an ad item on lux while dead as a joke, undoes it a few seconds later
checks chat

PearPearadox5 votesAnd you don't even get to see who does it. Insanely cowardly and that's so tilting, the fact that your own team mate is able to insult you anonymously.

NCBuckets1 votesdid the off meta builld work?
Thryale6 votesnot likely cuz the team decided to focus on harassing the player instead of focusing on doing their job, so everything probably fell apart at the seams. an off meta build can't do jack if the rest of the team doesn't pull their own weight. I know this from experience. (I like off meta builds)
AllThoseInFavor1 votesgenerally off meta builds are off meta because they are bad, that's pretty much the definition, if they were actually the correct choice they would be the "most effective technique available" and would thus not be off-meta. People building off meta is basically playing intentionally with a handicap, it's fine when you're a 5 man and you and your friends want to screw around but when you're just solo/duo q and fucking over 3-4 other people it's really not cool.
Thryale1 votesthere's a difference between "bad" builds and "non-competitive" builds. AP Zed for example is a "bad" build as zed has NO ap scalings whatsoever. But AP tryn is a "non-competitive" build because it can work quite well up until where every little nugget of optimization counts (like around diamond or so)
and generally most all "non-competitive" builds are considered 'off-meta' as they are not meta defining, nor do are they designed to compete at a professional level in said meta.
Kai Guy1 votesSo how I see it, off meta builds vary in viability over elos. A example of this is I'm a huge fan of a more AP heavy nami build for pretty much everything up till plat 2. Been a fan of it from before they ever added utility scaling to supports. Reason is I would rather have 1 large heal to compensate for a less talented adc, the damage boost to her QWER all make it so my carry's don't have to do as much damage to snag kills on targets, and opponents make plenty of mistakes that I can be opportunistic with. A good adc might get 4-5 autos off in a brief fight/trade but a less talented one only managed 2-3 when they make mistakes like canceling the animation early or don't dodge ability's that are easily sidestepped so a build fully dedicated to enhancing them ends up being less effective the worse they play. This playstyle of mine eventually becomes harder to thrive with once folks are not giving you the same windows to play around or don't misplay their responses. That being said, something like what 95% of the ladder its viable so who really cares?
Tldr, if your winning 55%+ people might want to consider that off meta build match your playstyle better.
