New Meta: Bully your way into a role you didnt pick and get bonus LP

Just had a Thresh who was jungle try and bully his way into playing Top (a role he did not pick) so he would get bonus LP.

Of course the game was lost with a troll like that.

I bet we will see a lot of this kind of shit.

I've been seeing people not calling roles in blind and bullying their way into the lane you already call. But in draft I don't see it very often. Is that where you encountered that? Or ranked?

Ranked. Who cares about LP in anything else.

lp doesn't really matter right now anyway. Play for mmr, as that's really the only thing that matters during preseason.

Lol. You're technically right, but that's moot. How do earn lp? Winning. How do you earn mmr? Winning. ~"Winning doesn't matter right now anyway. Play for winning as that's really the only thi g that matters during preseason".

its stupid he did that, he could have chose fill for the same effect. also yeah, it sucks but it just assumes you "swapped" roles no matter if they strong armed it or not, but just know it only works for about 2-3 games before riots matchmaking algorithm picks up on it and nerfs your gains. but used intelligently and in moderation this can actually help speed up a climb.

i wouldn't say that, its more geared towards learning and winning with a variety of roles. because being able to climb with multiple roles and champions takes some hardcore skill.

of course you have times like this where people just strong arm the role, and of course suffer. but just know its 100% NOT for trolls, because they are implementing a new system to help demote the unskilled and trolls faster. so no worries.

I don’t see how that would become more common. As another poster said, he could just have picked Fill.
