New meta should be a thing when a player has actual logical reasons to do it. Stop copying clickbait videos from youtube and don't try them at rankeds for gods's sake!

Since you are playing a teamwork game, DISCUSS your decision with your own team and if the majority of them don't like the idea then why would you ruin the teamspirit while the game is not even started yet?

There are "new meta picks" and there are "simply stupid ideas".

For example: Playing galio on support was a new meta for me, and i was flamed for "trolling" when i instantly started to play him as support after his rework. My reasons for doing this: He could pooke the enemies, he could taunt and CC them and his ult could be really useful in teamfights even when i was far... also that R could reduce the enemy's dmg (i know that it's changed now).

I had multiple, logical reasons to play this champ as a support while he was not designed for that. That's what i call as new meta.

Example for "stupid ideas": Playing AD soraka, Crit janna, or crit Sona jungle (i get this stupid guy at a RANKED GAME in my team) is not new meta. There are no logical reasons to play them like this since their spells are based on AP and their basic attackspeed is not enough to use that ad. When you play like this you ruin your own and your team's chances for your own personal "fun" what is clearly not acceptable in a teamwork game as i believe.

I encourage all of you to think before you want to try something new and if there are no real reasons to do that or your teammates don't agree with you then forget it or try it with other people who would accept it.

This is a game i know that well, and as many people say it's all about "fun". That's true. But lol is a strategy game, based on teamwork. IN these type of games using logic, communicating with others is essential so please don't forget that. Just because you are here for "fun" you can't ignore these things because this is the aim of the game.

Sry for my english i'm hungarian.

"Since you are playing a teamwork game, DISCUSS your decision with your own team"

When would you do that? In champ select? When people are busy making runes or checking shit on youtube or wherever they go? Unrealistic. So basically the only way to do it is do it with premades. And I do disagree, I think its fine to do it alone, as long as you dont first time something in ranked. If you see that weird clickbait video of Jayce support going 10/0 and wanna try it too, do it, but dont do it first time in ranked.

I get what you're saying, but sometimes you don't play a champ because it's meta, you play it because it's fun. Ranked is another story, but in normals? I'm not gonna stop playing marksmen in the support role.
