Riot's own hypocrisy

Riot teaches us to play whoever we want wherever we want. Riot teaches us we shouldn't be restricted by the meta and we should just enjoy the game as it is. Riot then threatens a support singed player with smite for "negatively impacting" his team for playing what he wants and how he wants, even though hes not (The guy has a good win ratio with singed) I've heard that this player was not toxic or did not have negative behavior and he even stopped "trolling" after being threatened by Riot. Can you just tell us the rules to gameplay in league rather than passive aggressively beating around the bush? You tell us free play and when we do you punish us.

If I queue up for jungle, and then I run down and proxy top lane because "it's my own strategy", I deserve to get reported and banned. It doesn't matter if it works or not.

It's very irritating when people glorify "breaking the meta" like it's the best thing you can ever do. Yes, you can break the meta, and yes, you should have fun, but you shouldn't harm anyone else while doing so.

Another thread...ehh...

Ok. So.

League of Legends is a TEAM game. Where 5 players battle 5 players. If you want to play singleplayer, you hurt your team thus limiting their experience with the game. Saying "Hey, I want to do this" in champ select and ingoring that your team doesn't want that, hurts your team, thus becomes toxic behavior where you intentionally handicap your team's chance to win the game. While I support "lets play all the champions" mentality and as much as I like off meta picks - during ranked games you should co operate with your team to make sure you get best results possible. If you leave your ADC in 1v2 situation when he isnt comfortable with it, you put him behind, allowing enemy ADC to get ahead. That's punishable. Not playing Singed support.

there is a difference between doing it in unranked, and doing it in ranked. this is a team game. if he is on a ranked team of 5 players in flex que and everyone on his team is ok with him doing that then go ahead. if he is playing ranked with 4 other solo players. he ques as "support" and then proceeds to grab smite and jungle.. he is refusing to work with his team. not being a team player and that IS bannable. if they TEAM is "ok" with it then its fine. but say i am going to take a full AD Nami as ADC. and i try to take that RANKED? i would be EXPECT to get banned then they are NOT working with the team. if this is a 5 man premade in ranked and u want to do that and your team is "ok" with it.. fine" be the fact that he is getting MULTIPLE reports from his teammates every time he does it, and his teammates do NOT want him doing it.. is him REFUSING to work with the team.

if he wants to signed support? FINE. take summoner 3 and summoner 6 / summoner 4 take a support item such as item 3303 item 3302 or item 3301 and then build item 2049 . stay in lane and flip them backwards and snare them in your sticky field skill thingy. and play AS a support, dont steal cs. and any SANE player would say.. he is building as support build. and that is completely valid even in ranked as long as you are decent at it

but taking summoner 11 and just flat out jungling... ISN'T being a support.. he qued as support.. he isn't supporting.. THAT is the issue. if he wants to jungle as singed.. QUE AS JUNGLE... my god its THAT EASY...
