People that expect you to do bad...

...and they end up doing bad instead of you. Not saying this is always the case, but some people can't see the forest for the trees. They see you pick something off meta and immediately "YOLO ALERT R%%%%% TROLL GG ILL PICK SOMETHING SOOPER ON META SO THIS TROLL DOESN'T MAKE US LOOSE!" and they end up feeding off the bat while you dominate your lane.

Not every off meta pick's purpose is to troll. Sometimes it's not what youre playing, but simply how good you are at playing the game and/or the champion.

I'd be interested in hearing you guys' stories about someone expecting you to fail, but you end up succeeding while they ended up failing in the place they put you in :D

I played Fiora Post-Rework, Pre-Broken status. Many people considered me a troll for going Fiora top. I usually dominated most games... Then people found out she was OP.

lol really? Personally the worst time of my life was pre-work fiora top. Never heard of anyone having a particular problem with it, but hated going against it. Much like Riven.

people are always perplexed when I pick Soraka Mid or Jungle then they are even more perplexed when I proceed to kill a Yasuo or Lee or Rengar.

But yeah those people that start to rage the loudest in champ select are the ones who fail the worst with their OP meta picks.

I don't doubt it; i remember seeing some really good soraka jungles.

A few games ago in champ select i hovered Shaco mid. Guy on my team proceeds to ban shaco--wasting a ban mind you solely to spite and dissuade me from picking it. So instead pick Pantheon mid, and he and the rest of my team are "you had to be the idiot to pick something weird; gg" Soon as the game starts i get first blood while he--and his sooper meta pwning Xin pick--feeds 2 kills consecutively to a -TF- jungle ironically enough. I ended the game going 10/0/3 while he was 7/7/3.

Not at all saying nobody else could have done that good or better of course! But its just funny; he expected to be amazing and me to fail solely based on picks and not playing, and just the opposite happened.

AP Varus varus jungle at low levels, I was happy it worked but sad that I didn't get a leash because I was "baisically useless" or "not playing varus right." Also im only level 13.
