So is off meta ACTUALLY punishable? cause one of my teammates dodged when I was gonna be Ahri top into Teemo top, because my other options were banned/chosen already.
Banned: 
(nasus was a troll ban by my own team)
Chosen: 
and one of the others told me that "off meta is punishable" has Riot really reached an all time low?
Off meta is not punishable. However, if you've payed attention to boards in the past month I'm sure you've heard of the Nunu "support" that would take smite and basically never be botlane. That is punishable not because it's different, but because it ruins the game for the guy who has to now solo bot.
It's not punishable. "Off-meta" and "trolling" are two very different categories.
Rene isn't really a troll ban BTW, unless they were doing it just to spite you. But technically Ahri Top would not be bannable if you played the game as normal.
Off-meta =/= Trolling, so you should be in the clear as long as you're doing the former and not the latter.
XD no people are just dumb go for the meta champs just don't feed when you do.
No off meta is not punishable, as long as you play something that helps out your team. Top ahri would be fine.
I mean, I guess there are worse champs to pick for top than Ahri, buy generally you'll get smashed

The 
support who does nothing to actually support...
Your Useless Garbage jungle who runs around doesn't do anything all game, takes no green smite, no countering their jungler or anything lol...
The Jungle who forgets smite....
The ADC who Intentionally throws a game...
Like fuc* this im going to play Over Watch...
Oh and Riot does get mad at people playing NuNu support because people don't agree? with it and report?
But do you think I agree with the support like 2 games in a row lol?
If you play an off meta champion often enough and your teammates report for you for it, yes it is punishable.
