What kind of build do you go that's not used frequently and can be seen as odd, but works sometimes?

Personally, I love going

riot shadownerfed all my favorite unorthodox builds. 6 boots? gone. 5 jungle items with grail? gone. DFG + garen? gone. AP Yi? gone.

anything actually strong(better than a real build for 'reasons') gets removed, and only troll builds are left that are suboptimal to doing anything normal.

Riot would fucking remove 6 boots before 6 gunblades and 6 ROA and let people troll rather than stack Mpen, something actually useful. It's just ironic that you get reported for being smart in this game and building extra cheap Mpen, and you can have a 93% wr and people still report you and bring it up to riot and cry about not your winrate but that you are 'trolling' with 3 pairs of boots until they remove it. It was basically nerfed out of jealousy, hilarious. And after multiple seasons of it being a 'thing' for many players that beloved it, they decide out of no where boots need to be limited to 1 because they are so strong!

riot likes to claim they don't cater to the meta, but changes like that can make the game unfun sometimes because utilizing the items in ways they didn't intend can be the most fun.

the 5 jg grail build item 1039 item 3174 for example had no end game plan, just that you could get 350AP at 12 minutes. Obviously it's not orthodox, but it was fun being a temporary juggernaut mage at the 15 minute mark in exchange for your late game. it was FUN. and it was removed because some pro fiddlesticks had to 1v9 in challenger with it over and over and ruin the fun for everyone else. That's normally how these things go if something unmeta is working. It's abused until removed from the tears of nubs. The telltale sign that 6 RoA sucks is that it's still in the game.
