iv been playing this game for a long time, long enough to have been one of the first people to use off meta supports, such as annie, fiddlestricks and morgana in the bot lane and i can clearly remember people getting mad and reporting me but then those champions eventually became the support meta!

i duno guys, just seeing you making alot of poor choices lately (removing jannas taunt, removing legendary nasus's skins spam taunt, ect.) and now your saying we cant play off meta stuff, when it is literally rule number 5 in the summoners code

" 5) DO NOT REPORT A SUMMONER FOR NOT STICKING TO THE METAGAME"

so faker recently said he wants to popularize an unpopular pick soon, u guna ban him too? probably not cus a bunch of noobs are going to copy what he does and it will become meta, meanwhile faker probably saw someone doing whatever hes going to do by watching a random person, like this SINGED MAIN, anyways rant over, rip to this guy i feel bad for him

edit: the community has spoken : no new off meta strategies unless a pro player does it first so they can copy them (miss fortune support recently became meta, how many players got banned before that happened i wonder?)

everyone that commented besides one person is bronze or silver lol i dont even care anymore, cya noobs

lol the "meta" everyone plays now was figured out by a small group of people and everyone copied them, people tend to forget that or not even know about it, they just simply think "im guna look up a guide for this champion" meanwhile before that person made the guide THERE WAS NO GUIDE

anyways once again, silver and bronze people only commented besides one person lol i cant take you guys seriously because you dont know what your talking about, too new to put in feed back about this because you wernt around when there was no "support" you just simply tried to DESTROY THE NEXUS THE ONLY POINT OF THIS GAME

edit: im going to add him and play with him so he doesnt get banned lol

[slayer-jinx-wink]

quote from someone who used to work for riot: eat your hearts out noob lords, its pretty much exactly what i said

"I don't work on League anymore so this is PERSONAL OPINION: Something I love about being in diamond is that players play random stuff all the time at it's generally accepted that if you've managed to get to diamond doing "thing X" it's legit and your team will adapt to it. Then I get matched with lower MMR players at the start of each season and suddenly the reason we're losing goes from "you played poorly" to "you didn't pick a real support." We actually did a survey a while back and found that a big reason people didn't play off-meta champs wasn't because they didn't enjoy them, or because they thought the champs were bad, it was because they were afraid of getting flamed by their teammates. To me, that's a HUGE problem. So much diversity of play experience is being stifled because of how strictly players conform to the meta. You're right to be upset though. It isn't fun to get ditched by a roaming "support" when you're not able to play safe and still get farm. I'm curious if there's anything we could do to the game to make off-meta (or off role) picks more palatable to more players, such that when they see something like support Singed the first thought is, "this will be interesting," instead of, "My lane is going to be miserable."

He wasn't supporting. He was queueing as support then jungling. He ruined multiple games and refused to stop. He deserved the ban

Singed support is off meta

Running double jungle without your teams consent is trolling

Off meta is fine

Ruining 4 other people's game is not.

When you fucking play singed support than go to fucking jungling thats trolling. The adc is 1v2ing bot which is insanley hard to do. They get little cs so no gold and they get dove and camped non stop since it would be 1v3 it would be easy to abuse the adc and put him behind so they are useless late game. If i get perm banned for saying shit to people like this who do it intent to lose the game instead of actually tryign to win. This dude should def get perm banned

Problem is he wasn't playing support, he just picked the support role and did whatever else he wanted.

It's like if I pick Jungle and the I pick Darius with Flash TP and go top every time. Then I go to reddit and say "DARIUS JUNGLE FLASH TP DIFFERENT STRAGEY RIOT PLS"

It's basically the same thing, he just switched some variables.

Ban deserved grow up!

he wasn't punished for off meta. he was punished for negative behaviour (manually reviewed as well), which is like ... a super large spectrum of stuff, which we don't have enough information to judge.

Riot did recommend for him to communicate his intentions, as it makes playing with it alot more managable.

If you read through there it's more so the way the guy is doing it, not the champion (even if the teams don't want it).

This explains 6 of my banned accounts in a nuttshel. A JUNGLE Katarina main has spoken.

so if off-meta champions in norms not bannable? cuz u see that shit every game

Your JOB as a Support is to help out your team, while not getting the conventional gold income from a lane. That is the only actual META thing. 3 lanes, 5 players. If you have an overal better impact on the game by countering their jungle, and snowballing other lanes with ganks rather than babysitting your adc. Then that fully qualifies.

I think it is now Riot who needs to relearn their own Summoners code now.

I do find it odd that they're doing this because it's just an off-meta pick. He should probably play in normals if it's really causing this much grief.

I don't know. If it was really working as well as he intended then he shouldn't be getting reports. He's probably getting reports because he's losing more games than he is winning. So might be a red flag of trolling.
