The meta has made the community a bunch of mindless sheep

Seriously, No one knows how to damn well think for themselves anymore. They are ruled, dictated by the meta. Its like a god damn death cult where anyone who doesnt abide by the dictated meta (which is little more than a "Flavor of the month" option) is deemed a "Troll" and is reported and harrassed to no end. People arent allowed to have their own strategies, thier own intentions behind their builds? their own way of winning?

Yeah, The LCS meta has made this community a bunch of brainless sheep. They do what the meta dictates and ONLY the meta. Anyone who doesnt build accordingly is deemed an "outsider' and reported for "trolling" Sure the reports dont do anything, But it still a pain in the ass to hear these little fundamentalists going off on how much of a troll you are because you dont build "like everyone else" Its rather sickening that this is how bad its gotten, and makes me less likely to follow the cult of meta.

You can take your precious LCS meta and stuff it in your own "Shadow isle" I am not a sheep, I still know how to think for myself and adapt to the enemy.

Can you give a specific example?

If I need to count on my mind or the professionals that it's literally their job to decide what is the best strategy and build, I will go with the latter, tho the lcs scene and solo Q aren't the same. .

I personally have this problem with Ahri. I rush tear on Ahri so I can spam skills and having a stronger late game, and half the playerbase goes into a butthurt rampage cause of it. It's amazing how many people don't realize the potential of Archangel's when it's so obvious.

Your ways of building in some games is just not called "thinking", i would call it doing bad stuff intentional.

What exactly did you "think" when buying a Sunfire Cape on an adc?

lol okay man. You're right -

  1. Deathfire is the optimal keystone on Kayn
  2. Kayn Support with berserker's totally works; hence your 14 deaths
  3. Sunfire cape Ashe is overpowered

All of us are meta sheep and have been blinded to these truths you have found. Thank you for bringing that to light.

Rito should make a troll rift like summoners rift but for everyone who wants to play way off-meta troll builds like support that way everyone wins

Yeah, It's gotten real bad but you shouldn't let that stop you from playing whatever you want. Get in game and mute all. It works wonders and sometimes it even boosts your gameplay.

I love how no one builds BotRK even though it's like the best anti tank item in the game...
