Meta's a guideline, not a requirement. Neither does it come with any sort of rules. Though speaking from experience, I can see why someone'd be so paranoid of non-meta picks, or picks that seem too unusual to them, as I've been there a few times, though I've only ever actually been open about it once or twice (that I recall at least). It's too common to see it go downhill, I guess is what I'm getting at. I'm all for non-meta, as I've done non-meta picks as well, and won games as a result. But I'm also for the idea that it has to make sense in at least some way.
That being said, Vel'koz "ADC" is fun to play, if it succeeds. Enemy ADC tilts so quickly.
If you need anyone but yourself to figure out that player is full of crap then you have bigger issues than worrying about what bronzie and silver players think.
If your taking an off meta pick then why do you care what anyone says. Don't respond, play the game and move on with your life.
Were you playing ranked? From my POV, I typically don't like people taking off-meta picks on my team because they usually require either a high level of skill to execute properly (and if you have a high level of skill, why are you in my elo) or an unusual amount of coordination in the team to be done successfully.
I play ranked to win, and I believe that players taking champs in roles they aren't designed for add likelihood that we will lose.
Cow in the Jungle!
My favorite!
Moo.
Well we were just Jayce Wukong against Morde Rakan bot lane.
There are no more rules as long as you're trying to win.
Yes, you CAN play Alistar Jungle. However, unless you're a complete god with Alistar or your team hardcarries you, you're probably gonna lose. It's not very nice to your team to just add another undeserved loss to their match history.
This drives me nuts as well. I play pretty traditionally as far as picking champions for their roles, but I've played multiple Ornn support games when the matchup makes sense.
is op bot lane
