Meta Breaking - What do you guys do?

Its never fun to just sit there and pick the same champs over and over and play them in the same lame. Makes for a stale game.

So what do you guys do to spice things up?

I play a lot of Counter Bruiser Bruiser Lux as season 2 as it is. Managed to beat Fioras and Garens and Dariuses galore. And Jungle Ahri has been my latest main meta break. Runeglaive resetting is really awesome with her.

Leona, Nami, Zyra jungle. They all have pretty bad clears, but the ganks are insane. And people rage so hard when they die to them. Also ADC Master Yi is freakin hilarious.(only works cause im in silver)

just played Heim support and ended up with something like 1/13 lol but team was being cool about it so that made me feel less bad.

I tried Anivia support, Poopy support, Kalista top, etc.

I have played half of the champs full AP in mid. Like Ashe Blitzcrank Corki Elise Hecarim Irelia Janna Jax Leona Lucian MissFortune Nasus Nautilus Nunu Poppy Tryndamere Udyr Varus XinZhao

You won't believe the off-meta jungle picks I've done.

Just this season alone, I've done jungle Garen Malzahar Brand Viktor Lux Zyra Tristana and full tank (with Cinderhulk) Fiddlesticks .

Anivia Azir DrMundo Ekko Fiddlesticks Gnar Gragas JarvanIV Lissandra Orianna Rammus Shen Sion Yorick Zyra Supporting is fun :)

Zz'rot portals everywhere!

People underestimate how far those little guys can run. You can place it under your inner turret and they can still fight in the center of the lane for some time.

Sivir mid, its really fun to just afk shove lane,back,get wards, repeat. I can not get kill by Yasuo, Zed because I had no mana.YAY

Shroom Junkie10/13/2015, 12:53:33 AM1 votes

I usually only do things that make sense. So, not like jungle Braum, because he has no real DPS, no ganking potential, and his shield only works for Gromp and a few of the birds when fighting them, and his armor/mr boost is pretty low. But, I might do like jungle Azir, or Annie top because Azir has consistent AOE damage and ganking potential, and Annie is pretty tanky with her basic build and has CC and poke.

Me and my friend love going full AP Blitzcrank and Alistar bot. Makes the enemy ADC's life a living hell. It once caused a graves to rush thornmail......

Karma jg

has huge sustain, a root for lane, aoe speedboost for ganks and longrange harass/slow

I play tanks. It's so out of meta because little girls with flimsy swords (Fiora) apparently can destroy a gigantic rock behemoth (Malphite) made of the most solid rock because he has "vitals."

Both might work one time but honnestly they are really struggling for another reason in the current state of the game:

  • Lux is a champion that is really item depended. You could pick her in situations where you have an early jungler & strong laners but your jungler basicly will have to camp your lane the entire time because that is exactly what the enemy jungle would do. If you are facing an low pressure jungler like Yi or Shyvana give her a try in the toplane. In the midlane she's actualy really strong right now but mainly because she's strong in certain matchup while crumbling certain other ones. As an support I would suggest to play it till gold devision. After that it becomes a little bit harder since you are so gold depended you really have to work for every penny. This mostly leads into falling behind since you won't have the damage to play the support role effectively while still been more effective than another AP support.
  • Ahri jungler is intressting but faces a really big problem. Mainly gold income, the jungle role isn't the role you go for where you get an xp or gold lead. You really have to snowball & start hitting those charms. It's risky & that's why you don't see her that often in the jungle.

Typical unusual picks for me:

Top:MissFortune Sejuani

Jungle:Twitch Zyra

Mid:MissFortune

Supp:Cassiopeia Sejuani

Evelynn Top. The W nerf is going to kill me though. Galio Top/Mid/Supp (not sure where he's supposed to be) Janna Morgana Mid Sona Karma Top/Mid (is Karma relegated to support now?) Syndra Rammus Supp

Syndra Support. Her stun is fairly easy to land, plus that huge slow on her W. Pair her with Jinx and you've essentially won the game.

ChaosThief10/12/2015, 8:56:29 PM1 votes

Gangplank Full AP

"Oh, you're trying to kill me? I'll eat an orange and be K"

That and the 210% scaling AP ult (with both upgrades. 120% no upgrades, +60% from fire at will, +30% from death's daughter)

Attack speed/on-hit Chogath is hilarious. Max E, get Nashors, Wit's End, Rylais, and even Botrk if you want. It's like a melee version of Teemo, with tons of cc.

Anivia ADC. Build like blue Ezreal, and you're a 600 range, self-reviving ADC with lots of utility and waveclear.

Full AP Nunu mid. WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW???? Probably one of the most rage-inducing lanes ever. Eat minions for sustain, and spam the hell out of E. That's basically it lol. Dem squishy mids will be spending more time in base than in lane.

Full AP Shen mid. "A wild 1500 HP shield appears! It's super-effective!"

Alistar AP or AD, either way. Top, jungle, mid, support. Corki AP Corki, babyyyy. Gotta get them Luden's procs. Mid, mostly. Diana item 3710 item 3153 ayy Graves Mid. Not particularly metabreaking, but he does good burst and has decent waveclear. Hecarim AP. All you need is a Spirit Visage and your W heals you a crapton. Top, jungle, mid. Irelia AP again. Top, mid, jungle. Jayce ADC! He's actually not that bad. I've tried him jungle too. Kassadin jungle! KogMaw I played him mid before it was cool. :c Leona AD or ap jungle and ap mid. AD top works decently, too. Lucian pure AP or hybrid, depending on who I'm against. Works best mid. Lulu Devourer jungle, ap/as, ADC, tank, you name it. Malzahar AD! (mostly done during URF) MissFortune AP. Make It Rain actually hurts a lot. Nasus AP. Very oppressive laner, is even worse in ARAM. Nautilus AP, anywhere. I've also played him jungle with item 3078 when Feral Flare was in game Nidalee ADC with item 3078 item 3072 or item 3508 . She does a lot of burst. Nunu Played him top, AD/somewhat bruiser. Didn't work out so well, cuz all our lanes lost xD Orianna ADC or AP/AS. She has really high as per level naturally. Pantheon AP. Mandrop can damn near one-shot squishies. RekSai AP. Works better in ARAM, since Q is good poke and she has high sustain. Shaco AP Mid/Support. I personally don't like it all that much, but I've done well with it. Shen AP. Yo, the shield you give with your ult is like half of a health bar. Shyvana AP or AP/AS. Hits like a ton of bricks, but has trouble sticking to her targets. Thresh AD. Used to work better before flay nerfs. Tristana AP, pre-rework, when E was a DoT. It still kinda works, but damage is more hybrid. Tryndamere AP top or mid. Splitpush for days! TwistedFate ADC. Hasn't been the same since Sword of the Divine was removed. Varus Full AP mid. They don't expect 3 W procs to chunk half your health. xD Veigar Tank. You still get good damage from farming AP, and you can setup plays. Vi Devourer/on hit. What's better than punching hard? Punching hard and fast. :D Volibear AP/AS. Nashor's works well with Ult. xD XinZhao AP top/mid/jungle/support. Honestly, he just needs item 3115 + item 3065 and he goes off. Ziggs AD. Didn't work as well as I expected, though. Zyra Jungle. Clears are somewhat slow, but by god, those ganks.
