The Theorycrafter's Dilemma

"This way of building a champion is really strong. I will build them that way and advocate for it." "Oh, everyone says I have poop where my brain should be because they don't agree and any time I do well with it is a fluke." "Hey the thing I did and/or stopped doing because I was tired of being verbally assaulted is popular because someone who is established did it." "Now it's meta." "Now everyone says I'm a copycat, and it's getting nerfed for being too strong."

Wash, rinse, repeat until you give up trying.

This is too familiar. I am constantly called a troll for playing experimentally, yet just within the last season or so, I've seen at least three of my tactics go from trolling to meta: Karthus bot lane aftershock Lissandra Fiddlesticks support (last season)

I wonder which of my strategies will catch on and be nerfed next. item 3302 support Kayle ? Shaco active item CDR support? Singed Rammus Shen My other map control and split push supports? Zac Hecarim Anivia Lissandra Pantheon Warwick support? Malzahar Orianna bot? It's only a matter of time as long as I keep on finding new ways of 'trolling'.

Using a build while it's sub-optimal isn't deserving of recognition.

See that's the thing, this is a STRATEGY game, but anytime anyone who isn't a popular person uses a strategy they get flamed. If only more people actually played the game like a strategy game and didn't just try to brute force win every game :/

I feel you, I had so many various builds way before they became meta and I got flamed for it... Mind you I play aram only... Id get ping spammed etc until I muted them, finished the game strong with a vastly positive KDA etc...

Problem is, so many of the youth today are followers and just watch streamers, pros etc and they copy their builds when in reality, they don't even understand WHY they are building what they are building.
