Trolling because one of your allies is going off-meta is so much worse than just meta breaking

Please stop thinking you trolling is justified just because someone on your team is breaking the meta per-say.

What kind of moronic logic is that? feel free to complain flame and report all you want but don't take it to the extreme and intentionally hinder the game for not only the meta breaker, but yourself and 3 other innocent people, how can you claim to be justified by "punishing" one person but also victimizing 3 others..........................

Besides the point that meta breaking is not an "offense" and you should just grow up and get used to it, griefing allies and assisting enemy team is quite obviously a reportable offense and vastly worse than breaking the meta.

I would say two wrongs don't make a right but meta breaking is not wrong and trolling is beyond wrong, to the point of malicious.

Basically grow the feck up.

The meta is there to be broken, something people can't understand for some reason

This happens to me all the time. I play support shaco and top lane ap shaco and generally do well. Every few games though I get trolled because someone doesn't like my pick. It's usually:

A) I am one of the first picks and call top then someone who picks after me tries to pick another top and force me to jungle B) People pick champs they have zero experience with then do horribly and flame me in chat all game C) If I'm supporting adc's have been known to do things like chase a blitzcrank ,who is low from stepping in the bushes into my boxes, past the minion wave to get pulled into a turret. Then either abandon bottom lane or start intent feeding or flaming the rest of the game. Somehow they decide their stupidity is because I picked support shaco, whose hidden passive allows you to steer friendly champions to their doom.

So many games where I play shaco and people just are total asses about it like I'm trolling. Won't gank my lane if I should happen to be down a little or anything. I stomped a trynd in lane 5-1 last night and he still ended up carrying the enemy team because my team managed to feed him after I had effectively shut him down. 2 people on my team ~15 deaths each. Me....like 7 4 and 6. Yet these mfers were talkin trash to me like my pick is what lost us the game. Even though I was getting double kills on trynd and yi when they ganked me. People are such dicks about what you pick that they don't even bother to look at your history or anything to see if you are trolling or not before they rage. When someone picks something crazy in champ select and says they aren't trolling I just go look them up on na.op.gg. It takes like 15 seconds. If theyre trolling I let the team know. IF they aren't I also let them know. I wish other people had the same courtesy. So tired of people saying "oh shaco top or shaco support, how can I make us lose to prove to him picking Shaco was a bad idea."

With that being said, if you are going to break meta in a ranked game then you should let your team know during the lobby. Preferably you ask and see if they are al right with it there and if they are cool, if they are not then save the meta breaking until a game where people are ok with it, or expect reports.

I see this refusal to teamwork daily; if people want to win by themselves they should go play call of duty or some other lamely made pvp game. I agree, spot on.

I when people take top dmg champs as support breaking meta. Then they take every kill bot lane, if you want to be a dick at lease pick a roll where you are meant to get kills. Like people say Brand can support he really can't he steals kills so easy that it's dumb.

Teemo support is not an off meta thing. It's not a thing at all. Don't do it. People deserve to recieve negative feedback for bad choices.

There's a line, but this is a competitive game. Winning is fun. Losing is not, especially when it's not in your control.
