What are the most fun/ridiculous off-meta picks?

After only playing ranked for full months only wanting to win (90 games in 3 months), I decided that I'm done with everything related to tryharding for a while (especially because I've been really busy period lately, so I don't have enough time for that).

So now I'm looking for fun challenges to roll out in normal matches! But Im looking for your ideas guys, since I lack inspiration in the moment... What are your favourite 'dumb' picks?

I lack some champions, especially the 'popular' ones like Zed, Yasuo or Riven, but just tell me your suggestion for weird, yet viable-ish builds and/or stupid strategies to use with some champs (like tank Heimerdinger pushing everything with Banner of Command and ZZ Rot, Kindred ADC or support Ashe kiting everything). From those, I'll select the ones I haven't tried before.

This should be interesting.

Karthus or Morgana Jungle

Sona Mid lane

Varus item 3124 item 3115 item 3091 item 3158 item 3157 item 3135

Shen item 3153 item 3812 item 3078 item 3142 item 3147 item 3006

Nidalee with the Wrapter build, though that's actually viable in ranked too, basically just armor, AD and AP in the runes, 12/18/0(used to be 30/0/0) masteries, and only offensive items with the exception being item 3157

Full AD Yasuo , have a support build item 3050 and don't build any crit yourself, only AD

Galio item 3800 item 3065 item 3068 item 3025 item 3111 item 3102 this one is actually viable now

Irelia mid, full damage items, she wrecks a lot of the meta mid laners and can play like an assassin late game

Aatrox Darius Ekko Gangplank Hecarim JarvanIV Maokai MasterYi Olaf Pantheon Rengar Riven Tryndamere Warwick as melee ADCs

Cassiopeia Malzahar Karthus Ryze Bot lane with a support

Quinn with item 3147 bot with an Elise support

(like tank Heimerdinger pushing everything with Banner of Command and ZZ Rot

I've played against that before as Trundle and took an early advantage thanks to a lvl 3 Skarner gank. The opponent proceeds to lane shift their Alistar to supporting Heimerdinger (Their Ezreal already held a strong lead in bottom). That was quite the oppressive laning phase. I kept farming up until I could waveclear quickly with Titanic Hydra and Shiv which made him decide to start pushing another lane.

Big mistake... I ended up farming to lvl 18 while everyone else was 13-15. Their main issue was that they couldn't duel me, so they had to send ganks to stop my pushing. I always had Farsight placed to warn me well in advance. My team was struggling but managed to hold their ground in middle while I cycled and destroyed the side waves. When I finally joined in middle the enemy fell apart as they could not kill the troll nor could they ignore it.

I like it when the game becomes such a strategic battle, rare at my elo...

aaaanyway... I always did like playing ADC Sona She can be pretty strong in the role once you get past the weak early. I've had a few 20+ kill games with her with less than 5 deaths

AP/Tank Leona Top is a lot of fun. People tend to underestimate the power of the sun. I heard AD Leona can be really powerful as well but I haven't tried it.

Urgot . Just in general. People have no idea how to deal with him and losing to Urgot is like losing a slap-fight to a man with no arms. There are NO excuses to be made... you just suck.

Full-HP-regen/split-push Heimerdinger . He has the highest base HP/5 in the game, and since Riot changed HP/5 to be percentage based, he's even better. Couple that with his passive, and the regen masteries, and you're set.

Masteries you go at least 12 points in Resolve, picking up Recovery, Runic Armor, and Perseverance. From there, the rest is up to you. All trees are viable, and you can take Deathfire, Thunderlord's, Grasp, or Strength. Runes are full AP.

Summoners are up to you. summoner 12 for objectives, summoner 7 summoner 21 summoner 3 for combat.

Start with item 1006 then item 1001 . Now rush just one cheap AP item for damage, like item 3165 item 3027 item 3152 item 3030 . From there, build item 3512 -> item 3060 for uber splitting power, and for HP regen. Now, you can build even more tank/regen: item 3083 item 3065 , or more tanky AP: .

You are literally impossible to poke or gank, you can outheal Vladimir just by standing around, you can solo Dragons and kick Baron's ass, you can jungle and be full health by the time you're back in lane, and you are an extremely good split-pusher. Teamfighting is great too. Not as damaging as full-AP Heimer, but way more fun, and can be just as effective.

Honestly, jungle teemo is pretty fun, and it actually has upsides! Post-6, he has some of the highest map control out of all junglers and has strong damage once he completes runic echoes (although that could be said for most junglers with it), red buff works really well with his e, and he also has nice movespeed with his w, allowing him to wait a little longer for boots if need be. Max E, and while fighting blue buff, you kite it down until you see it lose a tick of patience, then you blind it and run to the other side of it while the blind is in effect, and start attacking again and basically repeat for kiting up until it's dead. His biggest weaknesses are weak ganks in terms of cc, and if he gets invaded, he will most likely have to burn flash to get away depending on who it is. Core build is runic echoes into nashors plus liandry's, switching runic for bloodrazor against at least two tanks (if those tanks are the ones that like to mostly stack hp, aka mundo, zac, voli, etc., otherwise only grab it if they have three). You can delete squishies lategame with an aa-q-aa combo if you get in range of them, and you also have strong splitpush potential due to nashors and shroom safety. Can't really think of much else to add anymore, but I might edit this a bit later.
