If you're going to pick something off-meta, or different. You better be dam well good at it (Ranked)
Recently had a Sivir top lane, okay didnt' rage at her in chat, said it was a bad pick but fine. Let her play it, but she ended up single handly losing us the game, because it was basically 4v5. Was an 0/10 adc that contributed nothing, coudln't split, deal damage, no cc, nothing. Absolutely useless.
I can understand if you feed and do poorly as a regular laner, because you can't win every match up. But if you're going to play something off meta, that if it loses severely hindrances your team to the point of a 4v5. Then you better be dam well good at it. If a Malphite loses lane, okay he lost lane, he can still do stuff; If a Malphite feeds his ass off, okay, thats bad be he can still do stuff. But off-meta picks can't, because they generally ruin the comp, and don't contribute much unless they're in there norm lane/lanes.
Point is: If you're going to play something off-meta like a Sivir Top Lane, they you better be a god dam fucking god at it. Because your fucking your team over 2x over if you lose the lane, vs a playing a Regular laner.
