@Riot: The AdellaideSkyhart V. Riot Case

Presented here is likely the most important point of contention the game will ever see. This is the Brown V. Board of Education of League Of Legends, and like the famous case, the final statements on this will set a massive precedent over the game that will affect everyone in the community. its important, so lets talk about it.

A singed main, rather the singed main with the highest mastery points on his champ, an above 50% winrate, and clear evidence of general sportsmanship in his games (rare i know), greatly enjoys going off meta on his champion roles and general stratedgy. he takes smite, and counter jungles at lv 1 to set back the enemy jungle --burn a flash, pressure an early smite miss, or just straight up steal camps-- then roams for a gank on another lane, and finally goes back to his adc for the rest of the match.

Now he gets reported by his teammates, THE ADC's likely as they dont like the fact that to do this strat he isnt in bot-lane for those crucial early lvs nvm the extra exp that 2 v 1 lanes would give.

the main conflict is this has brought to head is, the question of whether we the players are truly free to play off meta, and develop our own ways to play and win our games.

so what do yall think?

Does the Singed Main, DO WE, have the Right To Innovate?

Or Is The Singed Main Wrong, DO WE, have to keep ourselves from Straying From the Meta? and is doing either a BANNABLE OFFENSE?

the answers to these questions will change the game forever, chose your words carefully.

The problem is that Singed Man was pulling out a strat in Ranked that required the cooperation of all 4 teammates to work. This was not him choosing an "off-meta" champ, he required that all 4 people change their way of playing to accommodate him.

He did not have an >50% winrate with Singed support. His winrate was due to top-lane Singed.

His support games made his teammates suffer, as he would ignore the role he had (Support), and not play support.

He was not banned for "off-meta". He was banned for refusing to cooperate, as he was presenting a strat that needed the cooperation of his teammates.

If i had a singe smite support id be down for it becuase 1. Hes helping my other lane and in my opinion thats supporting other lane and a support is suppose to support right? 2. Adc if he/she is smart then that person would take advantage of the 1v2 and get ahead with exp not really with gold but the adc would be able to reacch 6 before they do and that would make it more in your favor. 3. Singe is a tank hes your average tank and not only that he could easy bait people into your team because well hes singe everyone has the urge to chase a low health champ :p 4. The smite wpuld be helpful since if youre jungler die the support smite can still tale objective and obviously why wouldnt you waste it

I am a main ADC and I am in the silver/bronze ELO I am going to speak honestly, I probably wouldn't be TOO HAPPY with a singed support, and I don't think many others would be either AT FIRST. I do not think he is a good support, BUT, if said player believes he knows what he is doing, just as I believe I like to know what I am doing then who am I to judge. I do not think someone should be reported for going an off meta champ unless they really did something harmful to the game, if the ADC dies for the few seconds or minutes that the singed player is out of lane that's probably the ADC's fault for being so far out in the lane (in some cases).......... Also the rioter in the thing says "your team doesn't want you playing singed support" so..... what if I dont want my mid laner playing LeBlanc? and she says she wants to really go LeBlanc because shes good with them? Can I report them? I think that's kind of dumb :/ but, i mean I am not surprised riot has been destroying their own game recently this is just another step toward destroying it.

Riot should really consider on changing their staffs, for example look at the plants changes : they have a silver player change smite buffs for the only reason that he probably doesn't know how to use them and put the plants that give no strategic value, even the vision plant that is an unfair tool to get vision after teams deny it with trinkets. An this case is absolutly insane. From now on if i dont like what my team picks i am going to report them ( not joking ). If they put silver players to make big decisions on what the future of the company is going to be then they should hire me to be the CEO, i am platinum 5 playing since 2010 and i will make "Riot great again". They talk about comunication and teamwork and punish the wrong players while there are milions of 10 yo out there that do nothing but spam chat and swear. I really like their policy ... about RP . As a platinum i have great ideas like that silver that changed jungle for season 7 and i say the change summoner spells depending on the roles you play. If you go support you must always get Flash and Exhaust and make the other summoner spells unnavaible, same should go for the other lanes too. Also Riot should make items avaible only for the role you play, i mean if you play Zyra support why would you need Death Cap , Rylais and Lyandris?? YOU SHOULD BUY SUPPORT ITEMS RIGHT? I am also looking foward to Riot's offer in my future CEO position. I know that they read the posts but only answear to them if you lick their asses and say how great LoL is , i stoped wating for an answear from an Rioter telling me their policy on things. I send tickets to their support team and all they do is tell me to post on their forums where noone ever says anything. "We strive to improve the game experience for every player" but all that they acctualy do is making it worse, taking all the attention from real problems with flashy new client and a few skins.
