Best Off-Meta Stories

What are some of your best off-meta stories? You know, that one time your whole team took smite and lost lane hard, only to win "late" game (taking EVERY dragon and baron at 20 min). Or the Sona top, or TwistedFate bot that carried your ranked game even after your team complained in champ select Or dominating a 2top-1mid-2bot after jungler forgot smite. Let's here them!

I would have to say rotating triple jungle(sadly i cant remeber our champs... we had a Kayle and i think i was WW but i dont remeber the third)...

pretty much we had 3 people with smite and we all were "junglers" however one held bot well two went to gank and farm jungle(we also would triple gank and leave bot open) and we would rotate holding bot so everyone got to level effectively and during that we secured every drag and a baron with ease(this was pre jungle changes) so the global drag gold kept the 3 jungs from falling behind in gold

our top and mid more or less did really well because of the constant pressure from ganks

we also shut down the enemy jungler because he couldnt stop us from stealing his buffs,

long story short the enemy couldn't react to our strategy and we ended up winning easily.

One time in Normals, I was the very last pick and watched video's until it was my turn. I assumed I was either going to be Support or Jungle. so I accidentally picked Vi when I had the ADC role. I felt awful for not paying attention. my team adjusted though and Malzahar went bot while I went top. Despite not having an ADC, we crushed that game(that poor Koggy). it made me pay more attention in champ select.

Admittedly, I'm too scared to do any Meta Breaking. :(

In ranked we lane swapped our Vayne + Nami top to save them from the Graves +Leona and sent Gnar bot. Jungle ganked top and Vayne got a double kill and we won. I guess it IS meta for LCS, but I've never seen anyone else do it in ranked.

I went support Tryndamere with a Kalista at bottom lane. What was amazing was how easy tower diving became with both of their ultimates. Didn't even have gold issues because of how many kills we got.

Went jungle Soraka against a Fizz, Nidalee, and Rek'Sai on the same team.

Got invaded a lot. Pinged for reverse ganks, silenced+rooted them, laners killed them.

Went 3/2/14.

My favourite was that we had this guy troll us saying he'd ad but then he picks a jungler after the other guy who could adc picks Pantheon thinking he was jungling. So Panth switched his summoners and we went Leona/Panth bot and absolutely WRECKED.

Ashe support has crazy poke damage. Maybe even more than Thresh Flay passive.

I was laning duo with Draven, and I read that supports who can slow goes well with him, so I picked Ashe. Enemy had Ashe ADC, and by 20 minutes, I (the support) was more fed than the enemy ADC. They had Blitzcrank before W nerf.

I realized objective control in the current meta involves tanks and dive comps just running at each other, so I play jungle Teemo.

Yeah, the first clear sucks, but by midgame that river is locked down pretty hard. Usually the enemy team stops contesting drgn after a bit.

Played Poppy ADC once, with one of my friends going support Mundo. We were against a Lucian/Sona combo. Think my other friend was messing around on some weird jungler (also definitely off-meta) that I've long-since forgotten.

Somehow, we didn't actually lose lane very hard, and my favorite memory is the only one I really still have from that game: I was chasing Lucian after I caught him messing around in our bot lane, trying to push the tower. I started the chase from the Purple tri-bush next to the downed tower from much earlier, and he took off, kiting me as I relentlessly pursued him. He eventually made a mistake: He stood near a wall while I was in tackling distance. So I leapt from my position, and FINALLY got to start hitting him. By this point, I'm at about 300 of my 1600 HP, and he's at full before the tackle. After the tackle's stun took place, I hit him with a Q and went to town. He died and I stood at 200 HP left. He then complained that Poppy was OP, despite the fact that it was his own mistake that killed him and the fact that him kiting me practically forever totally didn't feel like complete BS to me at all or anything.

Still though, we managed to win that one. I don't know how, but we won. And that chase had a glorious end.

My last promo to S4 after spamming ranked all weekend and we get an instalock Vayne who says they are going to jungle :| . She built item 3718 item 3153 as her core and proceeded to carry the team like no other, finishing 17/0. I love you vayne wherever you are sorry for the doubt <3.

I played support syndra with adc tf on a smurf today,it was stupid but we won anyway cause we were better players.

does this count for anything?

I also have 100% winrate in ranked on free week,first time,support vayne in some ranked 5v5 trolling,does that count for anything?

I remember i was 2nd pick and first pick wanted top so I went mid as Zed. #nocounterplay. However third pick decided to troll and also went mid. Since I'm a support main, i decided to Zed support and give the troll mid. We all died alot. But we won bc i split pushed every tower and somehow became fed.

Full AP Nunu mid. I know it's been done before, but you should really do it if you haven't yet. Anyways, went against a LeBanc mid. It was prolly the worst lane she'd every done. She had no assassination potential before finishing items, so all I did was throw my E at her, auto 4 times, then repeat. Missing health? Q. By mid-game I was legendary and could kill her with two snowballs of death. However, we lost that game once two people DC'ed and Vi got really fed somehow.

Played ad lb in Season 3 silver. People would be raging at me while choosing another adc to bot. Other adc would feed while I farmed, and then I would rekt as soon as I got my shiv ;)

Jinx jungle, when item 3715 was first released it was pretty crazy on high attack speed champions, jinx has pretty decent ganks as well and global presence after 6, though it's hard to find a team that will let you play it.

Getting fed as fuck as nami mid

I remember that one time in ranked there were 3 people who wanted mid lane, I was one of them. We ended up picking Orianna, Syndra and Ahri. I said "fuck it" and didn't dodge. We let Ori go mid while Syndra and Ahri went bot. Since our top lane was iirc some AP bruiser(I think it was pre-VU Sejuani), we played quad-AP comp. They surrendered at 20.

I think one of my favorites was the game Swain wanted mid and I already had Ziggs locked (older meta, when Swain was top more often than mid).

Turned out to be a very bad day for the enemy Nasus.

When I was some level in the high 20s I played AD Heimerdinger. I got extremely fed and throwing 3 wrenches was enough to kill someone. (I built trinity force and barely ever proceed it and their Zed seemed to be feeding and I had gotten a lot of kills from him, but still :P)

Also, last week we had 5 mid laners. The enemy Cho'Gath and Sion were both fed and extremely tanky. However, we never gave up, and after me ( Katarina ) getting fed, as well as stealing Baron and getting a double, and a lot of teamwork (as well as a second Baron), we won at an hour and ten minutes.

There was this top lane or feed guy, so all of us just said screw it and we were all supports. I was mostly blitz mid, we had a zilean that constantly roamed, while annie and ashe bot lane (nobody cares about the top). We were very cheesy and destroyed the traditional meta picks like zed mid, and they surrendered at 20.
