Only way to win this game is to be a meta sheep.

Season 6 dynamic q, season 7 ardent meta and who's bot lane is better, and now this you die in 0.2 secs from every champ season 8... Literally the only reason I'm still plying this game is because my pc is old and I can't play anything else. I would like to grind league, but I value these last few nerve cells I still have left. And I don't want to be a meta sheep, so I guess I can't win games anymore. If I pick something immobile, I get kited and killed in 0.2 secs by every god damn champ. I don't see how can you measure a skill to climb, when every champ can just kill you in half a second and you have no time to react.

Not true. I exclusively play Nocturne top this season. 68% win rate. 150 wins. Currently in promos for Diamond.

Find something you enjoy that really resonates with you, and make it work. If youre having fun, odds are youll be playing well, whether youre following meta or not.

the thing is I don't have fun on anything anymore. How can I have fun when every champ 100 to 0 me in half a second.

And I start playing talon in botlane and I get disgustingly fed 4 of 5 games and can carry it (if team listens). I just started on another acc in silver and climbed 3 divisions in the first day, I also played him support and still carried it. It is true I wasn't that successful on my main acc with this in d5/p1 elo (barely 50% winrate and mostly lost lane but that is mainly because I really am just starting learning how to play melee in bot and talon himself and most support players trolls in soloQ on purpose because "fk you talon adc we lost").

Who says your pick isn't actually the current meta? I played many off meta champions, hell I am/was Soraka mid/top main but the second part of this season it is just really bad. It was already tier 2 at best but now these picks are completely potato tier. Brand jungle, Soraka mid/top, Teemo bot, mage bot, double support bot. Hell even Teemo himself is hard to climb with af because while he has assassin potential it is really hard to use his stealth for engage and almost impossible to use it for escape as well even in silver my winrate with Teemo is under 50% because he has no outplay potential besides flash to fight those assassins who are meta right now.

EDIT: seeing you are EUNE you should join my club fMeta [slayer-jinx-wink]

I don't understand why people like you have the need to make idiotic comments, when one look at your account and I see you're silver for the last 4 years and this year unranked. What the fuck do you know if Im skilled or not.

because a skilled player (or a smart one) would not open such thread about offmeta pick being unviable, when streams are full of OTP players that played the same champ for seasons and seasons winning regardless if fotm or bad champ.

but ok.

develop a greater awareness to avoid such things from happening? Its not that hard to not be THAT guy that gets caught, instantly murdered, and causes your team to lose objectives and ultimately the game.
