When you play a champion in an off-meta position

And you have one bad game Everyone hates you

But when you have 72% win rate with it or have a 7 game win streak Nobody gives a flying fuck

ADC Kennen is my absolute favorite thing to play and I knew people would never let me play him in ranked unless I had a rank 5 mastery (so it looks like I'm not horribly trolling). Although I'm really scared of ranked and how I might be treated if I fail I'm going to get verbally harassed really hard but in normals where you have (although I never really say it unless I know for sure someone is doing it) have a sheep Trundle support who goes 1/12/6 and I go 3/6/3 (still a significantly higher kda) they still blame me. I also had a 3/6/0 Yasuo top who harrased me and a 1/8/3 Lee Sin. They even got the enemy Jinx to talk shit to me.

I even posted my match history with Kennen and still called me a troll.

I've played 37 games as Kennen (excluding Bot and special event games) all time 24 of which as an ADC and 1 with and ADC build top (classic WTF dude I didn't know you where ADC, you should have said so idiot, which I still won)

Only 7 of which were losses my KDA in which is still 1.84 with only 1 game where my KDA was 1 or below (the story i told above)

My KDA during my 7 game win streak was 5.22 with 3 games with 15+ kills 19/8/24, 15/4/15, and 20/5/12

Yep, I'm totally a shit player

I will stand up for you Jungle Karmas mains and Taric Tops cuz I know that you are good at what you do and you have the actual urge to play an off-meta champion strictly for the fact that its, what the word, its on the tip of my keyboard, oh yeah

FUN

Some people just want to play the game for fun you know

(I only fight for Taric tops that actually pick their matchups correctly, like playing Taric vs Ryze is like Ganondorf vs Meta Knight in Brawl, its not good, and I know that as a Ganondorf player)

Anytime I pick Zilian I receive RL death threats. Feels good.

if you think ad kennen is strong, or fun, play it. the worst that can happen is someone will get mad at you.

My friend and I used to do Braum and yasou bot, but stopped because we would have like 5 good games, and then get yelled at the whole game during one bad one.

People are going to hate you for off meta picks long before you do poorly with it. Regardless of whether or not you are good with your off meta pick, they are going to hate you for it because the last 10 they saw were people doing random stupid things.

Off meta picks are just a shitty situation. People should be able to play what they want and how they want to, but at the same time its almost universally hated by everyone else. Imo teambuilder is the only place for that kind of thing because it allows people to know in advance and opt out.
