Off Meta= Mild Toxicity

Supposedly i get reported all the time for trolling as support or jungle. Why? Because I use off-meta champs like zyra, brand, karma, annivia, ezreal, ashe as supports. Why the reports? Because i must be trolling? But wait you ask, i see those supports being commonly accepted as support? Right! I used them as supports many seasons ago and now they are accepted, but back then, i got reported as a troll. I'll still get reported now if use any support champ that doesn't heal AND have cc so my adc doesnt have to actually do things like kite or notice a gank.

I think it's a failing in the system that when people don't like the champ you've picked, that they report you. If you couple that with the current level of chat bans that Riot has, then a couple of comments like "jungle leave that camp and help us" or "why did you not fight, you were full health" can get you chat restricted, because, well, your always being reported, anyways.

The sad thing is, I in no way as judged by my game play am actually trolling, actually far from it. At the end of the game i'll usual have the or near the top amount of damage dealt, the most peels, the most wards, the most wards killed, the most kill participation and i'll be at every drag and barron, but still get another mildly toxic report added to a long list of other mildly toxic reports.

But why would you be worried about being reported?

The system has the ability to filter out false reports. Who cares about people whom report you when you haven't done anything wrong?

People can report or say they will report for any reason, but that doesn't mean that you will be banned.

Just had a flex game with a 3 man premade, 1 of which went top nami going attack speed, opens with 6 deaths and 9 CS at 10 minutes and they're flaming me for "being negative" for saying hes a troll pick inting, but nah I'm supposed to accept that he's just "off meta" https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2842157547/245972091?tab=overview

A lot of people who try to be special snowflakes with their hipster off meta bullshit are literally just handicapping the team and expecting handouts to be carried. If a champ can go in that role and do ok but not the best, then fine, but if its a straight up full inting no chance to win pick then fuck off

@OP ashe and ez doesnt support in any way and are huge liablities more than anything

^ I run DH on everything with my main, and I probably go off-meta about 50% of the time. I'm positive I got reports given the flame I got for some builds but I reached Honor 5 fast and was probably one of the first because I didn't see others with H5 until like a week later. Never have had a punishment or anything. I'm pretty happy go lucky person though.

Just because they report you doesn't mean it counts.
