So what's wrong with me trying something that's against the meta?

Simply put, I feel that the LoL community is more lethargic than this guy

when it comes to trying out an new strategy. Today, I plan on going mid with Darius...in PvP.

Any guesses on how well this will turn out?

my guess is the team will flame you in lobby, if you are the sole cause of why you won they'll basicly you say you were a big "help" and if you lost going 30/6/12 its your fault vayne had 43 cs and was 2/19/9. then the rest of the team will agree with vayne.

take it from someone who doesn't play the meta

Well the flaming part did happened, but they cancelled that game.

In the next match, I called mid with Darius but I gave up and went jungle after seeing MissFortune and Varus in my lane. Of course, our Olaf wasn't happy that I was farming his Gold...

Its funny that people do this... best you can do is record it somehow and just report them via ticket. Such behaviour is toxic and gets banned very quickly.

I was too lazy to film the lobby, I preferred to film my match instead.

It's not wrong to try something off meta, but it is wrong to go off meta, then try to take over a teammate's role when it doesn't go your way.

i'm getting threatened for being reported after I annoucned I'm going mid in Darius.

I went darius mid plenty of times before his rework and it worked pretty well (with flash+ghost as summoner spells) but new darius is nothing like the old one so it probably doesn't work as well in a lot of matchups (his damage relying on him getting 5 stacks of his passive in a short lane where you can't chase is pretty harsh compared to his older, more bursty playstyle)

I don't think "lethargic" is the word you are looking. And also, I think Brolaf would be down for trying new things.

ROADTRIP!

The reason I said lethargic is because the people I play with tends to freak out when I play off meta or do something "creative."

Yeah. That means "lethargic" isn't the right word at all.

"In PvP"? as opposed to what?

PvM...? though I guess "Player vs. Bots" is a thing.... so that kind of throws away any potential validity the original post had. In any case, troll picking is a valid reason for reporting.

What is this "troll picking" that you speak of?
