I just went into normals, and wanted to mess around a bit. I decided to go orianna jungle. Sated devourer orianna jungle. The team i had was extremely skeptical at first, but were praising me when i killed the enemy akali in 3 autos. Needless to say i was carrying that game. We still lost, but my god that was the most fun game i've played in a while.
Tldr: went devourer ori jg, didnt feed, awesome team, off meta=/= troll.
Edit: Off meta not off mets. I can type!
Incredible HuIk2 votesCherry picking, 99/100 times i will end up having to fill the shoes of 4 people when people pick off meta. (Apart from the usual filling the shoes of 3 people required to even have a chance to win a game)
I had one good game as Cassio ADC so its not troll guys!
lilpokfluf2 votesOne game, which you didn't even win, isn't proof that anyone should play sated orianna
LittleBlast1 votesBut you shouldnt hate it! Its fun and not completely troll!
Lapis2 votesPeople even hate what should be meta picks. Orianna is super fun to play as support. She's even listed as one, if only as a secondary, but whatever. People still get mad.
Very Hard Engage1 votesive been taking wukong mid, <3, most.... fun... ever!!!!
ive said this before, but i just want people to be conscious of their team mates and try it out in bots/custom first, and then when they've understood what it is they accomplish with their "off meta" pick, then they should go to normals to learn matchups, because if it doesn't even work in bots.... then it just isn't worth trying against real players.
LittleBlast1 votesI dove right into it in normals, however i have a habit of being able to make anything work if i try hard enough. The game before i carried as ap lucian adc. My main in ranked is tp/smite rammus top. Fuck the meta÷
frigginmurlocs1 votesI haven't seen a Rammus in ages unless you count a troll last week
LittleBlast1 votesHe does a suprising amount of burst damage between his w, r,cinderhulk,redsmite,thornmail,and gromp buff.
Jungled1 votesSona jg bitches! No one can deny the sheer godliness of a flash r gank.
LittleBlast1 votesWait that works? I need to try this!
Jungled1 votesDammit. The secrets out...
DrNova1 votesMets are OK, more of a Mariners fan myself.
Zone of Endless1 votesI don't care about off meta pick as long as people know what they are doing. I do ziggs support sometimes but that's because I know how strong and similar he is to velkoz
Linthe1 votesAgree with OP. We went off-meta basically all night Friday. Absolutely hilarious. Most fun I have had in league... probably in forever.
Decrit1 votesI went as support Veigar midlane... and it went pretty much well, and was fun as heck!
It doe snot mean it should be done always, but remember that this game in the end is very flexible in the end, even tought there is a "meta" that can be followed. As long as you do not surprises while in champion pick ( at that point 99% of the cases is just trolling ) and you do what' s good for your team is fine!
