The ups and downs of being a meta breaker

So I started playing early S4, and even when I was just starting to play I noticed that I didn't really enjoy playing champions where they were "meant to be played." My first played champion was Janna, and after taking her support a couple times I decided that I wasn't having enough fun with support and decided to take her mid. This is where I met my first and most-hated type of person: the "gg"-er. "gg"-ers are the people that, when they see something even remotely out of the meta or seen as not so strong, rage in all chat and repeatedly say "gg" at every little thing that you might mess up. Being as inexperienced as I was back then, I made quite a few crucial errors (blowing my ult, shielding the wrong person, dying to blue) which led to the "gg"-er being on my a** every 20 seconds. This tainted my experiences, but not enough that I would stop playing, and thank GOD I didn't.

Being a meta-breaker, while it does often warrant me reports and raging, isn't all that bad. Every game that I play something no one expects is a fresh, new experience and makes the game infinitely more fun. If I go AD Twisted Fate jungle and do well with it, I'll keep doing it until I'm experienced with it and move onto another thing (jayce adc, anyone?). Each and every game I play, whether I'm playing in the meta or out of it, feels fresh and new because there's so many other things that I can play if I get bored of something.

TL;DR: Breaking the meta might seem like a bad idea, but don't knock it till you try it----or at least wait 25 minutes to see how it goes. :3
