What are your favorite off-meta solo/duo picks?

EvilUnicornLord··3 votes·3,049 views

I know posts for fun and games should probably go in Memes and Games, but I figured this had enough Gameplay elements to go here instead.


Like I said in the title, what are your favorite off-meta picks and how did they turn out? Doesn't matter if it's a one-man show or botlane gig, just as long as it's off-meta.

And, just so you know, I have no intentions of using the builds in Ranked games. So you can breathe easy knowing that I won't go AD Fiddlesticks top in your promos.

Anivia Tahm bot lane. Poke all day... if you do happen to die Tahm eats your egg and you're fine.

Swain Morgana bottom lane.

Land a snare, apply melting, land another snare, and you are left with pile of melted goo.

honestly I just love Yasuo top so much, I know he's not meta and he's under powered at the moment but he's just so much fun haha

...

Yasuo is not a juggernaut Lincoln.

Why have you betrayed your values?

We all have our sick tastes from time to time.

I like playing mid assassins for example.

TyrekGoldenspear2 votes

Hmm. Not sure what my sick taste would be, as I like playing all of the champs.

Ohh, I know. Sometimes, I play off meta. In bot games.

Tango Eve + Tango TF, any lane. If I see someone on my team pick TF, I pick Eve no matter what and follow them around.

Wouldn't it make more sense for TF to follow Eve because she dumbed him?

Even when a woman is done with you, she's never done with you. She will Facebook stalk yo ass. Heaven help you if you had any kids cause she will take all ur golds too.

Morgana top. Works for me most of the time.

Also, not something I like, but I've seen Thresh Volibear destroy bot lane.

It's not actually a Pick, but recently I have alot of fun - running 1000AP on everyone I can.

AKA: The complete Bronze Carry Set - Scaling AP yellow and blue - Full DMG 18-12 Masteries - item 3165 item 3040 item 3285 item 3089 item 3135 + any major AP => equaling 1000+ AP, zero defense, zero HP. But hey, the DMG is hilarious. =P

Wprks, if you're able to position your selfe good. ^^

I Love OffMeta picks....

AD Blitzcrank Top..... Have not played this recently, but with lethiality i bet it would be killer. I don't think I've lost a game playing this. item 3025 item 3031 item 3748 item 3147 ect. It does work.

AP Blitzcrank jg.

Brand jg. So strong.

Anivia Illaoi Jhin Orianna Veigar Yasuo Ziggs Support... These are all so good if played right. Don't build any ap on Orianna, you get max cdr and build for your shield. Yas, you build semi-tanky and max his windwall, it is so annoying for the enemy adc who goes to last hit a cannon and you windwall the auto (it tilts people). Vieg you max your baby cage and spam accordingly.

Fizz jg built for AS/DOT was fun. item 1416 item 3100 item 3124 item 3153

Leona Top built bruiser. Also have built her around attack speed Pretty effective.

TwistedFate jg...aslo tf support with smite. Your goal is to steal all majors buffs from enemy jg. When it comes up, (make sure it is warded and be smart) ult and kill it. Blitzcrank also is very annoying to do this with. Take summoner 11 and pull every buff away and smite it for a free win, since the enemy jg usually afks.. haha

:)

Hope you enjoy my builds. HAHA i know i enjoy them.

i love Rammus support into people like ez. pop w walk in front of minions and watch his q deal more damage to him than me. sion support is also fun when the enemy is an immobile adc.

Daizumi1 votes

Sometimes into a melee match up ( like Ekko or maybe zed) I pick Ap Jax mid and I usually do pretty well when I do

Mid wukong. Don't disrespect the mid monkey (Or his silly high damage)

Not even Zilean can revive that one.

Varus AP, an oldie but a goodie. I love the responses I get when people first think I deal no damage and then watch their HP evaporate.

Leona bruiser top, really strong with Titanic/Trinity force for burst trading, then going straight tank.

Shyvana Rageblade build. It's actually surprisingly strong if you get a couple early kills, synergizes well with Titanic and her whole kit really, for the same reason she was strong with devourer.

Trundle with my duelist build: item 3074 item 3153 item 3078 item 3065 item 3742 item 3047 / item 3111 Kills towers like nothing (excluding a Nasus) and you can 1v1 or sometimes even 1v2 anyone in the game.

Tristana/Zilean+Sion Bot. This is pretty cheesy as far as duos go, but I love punting bomb minions into the enemy duo lane, it can be very effective. You play as either support or full AD depending on which of the two non-Sion champs you're laning with.

Let's see.

Braum Top with item 3091 item 3748 . Works well against many ranged tops, horribly against juggernauts. Yorick Jungle. Play like a coward and kite enemies while they get shredded by your ghouls. Plus you can 1v3 in the drag pit. Warwick assassin withitem 1412 item 3074 item 3156 . Much easier to reach and kill the squishies, plus the defense to stay alive afterwards. Nautilus Mid. Takes some practice but stomps assassins who don't know your weaknesses. Varus AP botlane. Since his nerfs, I no longer build ad. Bad sustain early game but the burst damage is insane, plus a kill gives you lots of dps. JarvanIV Support. Build full tank, farm assists like janna, and you become unkillable. Fun as hell. Fiddlesticks Support. I'm truly bad at him, but it's fun to troll engage lanes with your reliable cc.

About half my picks are offmeta. And I plan on playing Galio jungle once I figure him out well enough.

Azir mid. :^)

No way! I did Poppy top once and that was some real off-meta stuff right there.

(It was probably because I built ADC items)

Heimerdinger Mid Cassiopeia Top (its cheesy and cassiopeia is just fun in general) AD katarina top Nami ADC

Here's an off-meta I tried on Yasuo back then: Pure Lifesteal: (Inspired from Youmuu's build on Yasuo) Main Items: item 3153 item 3072 item 3065 item 3046 Boots: item 3111 or item 3047 Last item: item 3143 / item 3022 / item 3026 / item 3156 / item 3812 Keystone: Warlord's Bloodlust (2nd rework, not current Warlord's) This build grants you >40% life steal and that's not including Warlord's and every attack and Q heals for around 200-300 HP. Pretty insane if you ask me.
