I as an AP 
support main and 
jungle main and usually play really well in both positions decided to give it a go in ranked and both teams threaten to report me for playing these positions and roles, occasionally my friends get pissed off when i play this . So I thought it would be best to see the boards general opinions on this topic.
Any comment would be appreciated.
Dark Nephthys2 votesI can see the Shen Jg being acceptable since it's a more useful later on especially when your team needs a tank (if top isn't one). Though the Shaco support might be pushing it a little bit, since he doesn't offer all that much to peel for the carry besides for damage and a (situational?) fear.
DrCyanide1 votesIt's fine, but it usually helps when you have a positive win rate to back it up so you can point to that to silence critics.

Eh, doesn't help that much. I get blamed and reported in probably 2/3rds of my losses tbh.
1wolfpack1 votesI personally dont mind as long as you know what your doing and play well enough to back it up. I find most of the time you can convince people that you can do it, but the minute you mess up people are gonna hammer you so hard in chat. so you gotta be confident with picks like that.
Kukan Seishin1 votesrecommend dropping the Shaco Sup, most people consider it troll and he falls off to hard. However jg shen still works well. Just my opinion though, no flame.
Mecha MaIphite1 votesI usually just ask my team if they're cool with me going something off-meta. It's better to just change my pick than to have to deal with flaming teammates for 20 minutes.
Mizuki Zahra1 votesI forgot to ask if sion jng was ok cause I got flamed for going off meta my team raged at me lol
kennen adc main here my fav off meta choice
MasterDClone1 votesI forgot to ask if sion jng was ok cause I got flamed for going off meta my team raged at me lol
kennen adc main here my fav off meta choice
i have done sion jg before and i have to say it work's pretty good in game but kenne adc is something im gonna try
Mizuki Zahra1 votesKennen adc with everything focused on attack speed crit and ad damage and a rage blade cause you can land stun quickly and then they should be dead it's really fun and he's not mana reliant
Yago1 votesNothing wrong with breaking the meta. People threaten to report you for all kinds of things. Ignore it. Their reports aren't worth much of anything. To be honest, one of the most frequently used toxic phrases is 'report x'.
MagicFlyingLlama1 votesAs long as you do it in a way that does not inconvenience your team or totally tilt them.
Mizuki Zahra1 votesI use thresh as my support of choice but I don't use a keystone because I like the way I have my masteries set up...as soon as we get into game I get hit with "gg no keystone" "omg report thresh trolling" and then someone afks
woodvsmurph1 votesIt really depends. There are things you need to consider. Ex: Does your team need... a diver, a tank, a peeler, etc.? Does your champ fulfill what your team needs? Do you know it well enough to pull it off? Have you practiced it a ton or did you just play 2 pve games (if that) and see it on some YouTube vid by a streamer or pro? Will it work vs their team comp if they play effectively? Ex: Shaco jungle is nice... if the enemy doesn't get a lead, group 5, and push towers. If they do get a lead, group 5 or 4,1 with a tank/bruiser, and push towers and have enough hard cc, you die for engaging, your split push isn't as effective as theirs, and you can basically do nothing. That's just one basic analysis example, so hopefully you see what I mean. Take a look at the recent article by Riot and their analysis of the kha pick in 2 games for more examples: http://www.lolesports.com/en_US/articles/na-lcs-2017-week-2-what-exactly-team-synergy
