So, I wanted to try out AD Malzahar jungle today...
I watched a video showcasing AD Malza jungle and I thought it would be fun to try it out, especially considering that Malza is in free rotation right now. So, I went to normal draft (I would never do it in ranked, of course), called that I would like to jungle and got the role. I locked in Malzahar... I never got such a backlash from my teammates, not even when I was picking Mordekaiser to jungle. I was immediately called a troll, got warned by some of the people that they're gonna report me, everybody was saying we already lost and Lucian exclaimed he's gonna troll. The situation ended with somebody dodging (probably one of the guys from my team).
I've never, ever saw such a saltiness. Why in the game that is supposed to be fun everything is taken so seriously? I would understand such behaviour in ranked, where everyone plays competitive, but in normal? The game mode in which you are supposed to train for ranked and try out new things? Why can't we chill out? Let people try out new things? Play FOR FUN?
Now, I am aware that there are real trolls, who like to do things like Disco Nunu and it's sometimes hard to recognize in champ select if someone is trolling or just wants to try out something out of meta. Also, in my last match, I had Blitz supp who took exhaust/teleport and was asking us if we are going to report him for not having flash. What the fck? How bad the community is that some people ask if they are gonna get reported just because they didn't take flash?
Are only pros allowed to try out new strategies, everybody else will get reported for not following so called "meta" ( I know I wouldn't probably get banned, but it's still sad)? Let people play what they want, don't take a goddamn game to seriously, especially in normals.
EDIT: Well, still no luck. This time, I told my team mates before I made a pick that I'm going to take an unconventional jungler. I talked with them after picking, kinda seemed like they accepted my pick, but again, someone left (sigh). In next champ select, one of the guys from previous one was banning and banned Malzahar just to prevent me from picking him :( Maybe I'll really try in team builder, I just hope it won't take eternity to find match.

in the jungle, I can confirm this happens. I don't get too much crap for it but it's not uncommon. I'd encourage you to try it more (his clear is insanely good) and just ignore everyone else.
