BREAK THE META: BATHE IN THE TEARS OF YOUR ENEMIES

In this thread post true stories of champions you've played in either crazy roles, or lanes, or build. And WON. I'm not talking games where some amazing player carries you to the win, but a game where you actively benefit your team in a role that makes most people think "what in the name of sweet baby Jesus are you doing here?".

I'll start us off with an amazing game I just had.

Karthus Karthus Top. It was a total accident, I thought I'd cued for mid, but I realized once the match started that I had cued Top instead... oops! Rather than being an ass and demanding mid from Kat or throwing a fit I silently walked into toplane and stared down the enemy Riven (Not someone I wanted to fight Top as Karthus lol).

Laning was boring, but I played smart and only died twice the entire time. "Twice? That's two times too many!" True, but ending laning with a score of 1/2/1 as squishy Karthus against bursty-leapy-shieldy-stunny Riven made me damn proud to be the undead litch.

Having avoided a most miserable fate I began to roam the map, ganking, killing, plundering the enemy jungle, having a jolly old time. By the end of the game I was 9/6/8 and quite proud of myself as a toplane Karthus. That Riven was amazing mid and late-game, and I survived lane against her pretty well. I was proud of myself.

Karthus is a mid, and I had heard of the elusive jungle Karthus, but I've never heard of a toplane Karthus being viable... so I was pleasantly surprised.


What are your out-of-meta successes?

DoesLissandra support count?

I know she is much more suited for mid and top lane occasionally, but the amount of CC, all in potential, and jungler assistance is great for getting your AD carry rolling. Only way to make this really work is going for a super tanky Lissandra build though due to the lower gold income.

I remember a game where I called midlane but couldn't decide what champion to play. So I just always klicked in between two champs until the timer ran out. Unfortunately just as the timer stopped I missclicked and picked Nami mid. I can't remember who I was playing against but I won't forget that I totally owned that game. I once even landed a blind ultimate on low enemies which resulted in a triple kill. That was huge fun.

Support Sona + ADC Raka bot.

The sustain + poke is real. You never have to leave lane.

The best part is they can carry as well.

I went ahead and got a PentaKill with AD Karthus on the Howling Abyss, pre-VU. Where the windup animation for the autoattack was literally 1 or 2 seconds.

I do have... one... other oddity, that I'll share. Back in Mirrored All-for-one, we got Jinx, and me, being the special snowflake I am, decided to go AP. Yeaaaah. I outdamaged 7 of 10 Jinxs. You can go ahead and fight me @ LAN.

I did Soraka top and forced a surrender. That is the new updated Sorraka, but soraka top is nothing new. Kayle support is not new, Jungle Karthus is not new, mid fidle is not new. OH I got it!

Heimerdinger + Karthus bot. I played support as Karthus . We destroyed their last turret bot before 20 minit and in another game we won before the enemy team could even surrender. This is such a strong meta breaking bot lane combo.
