One Way to Build Champs??

Can we talk for a second about people flaming for the way you build a champion?? In my experience people get mad over the way you build instead of focusing on the game as a whole. I feel that if there wasn't more than one way to build a champ, wasn't more than one way to play a champ, then there wouldn't be items and runes and masteries and you would just play the game. Instead of letting people be individuals and play and build the way that suits them, people are quick to say that you're "not building the champion right" or blame you for the game losing when you're supposed to be playing the game as a team and helping each other win instead of knocking them down for wanting to try something new. I feel this is a big problem currently and made me uninstall quite a number of times for it.

Experimenting with new healthy builds is one thing...building AP Darius is another. Idk which side you fall on but there is nothing wrong with trying a build that you think would be viable. Just test it in unranked....

the thing about building a champion right is.....It changes with each player. Think of an item build as a piece of clay..and you are its artist. No two artist will have exactly the same sculpture. Each artist must mold their clay into whatever they deem worthy...or necessary. Just like item builds it's unique from player to player based on the players needs.

I advise simply ignoring the people who bash on you for your item build. [slayer-jinx-catface]

Champions in and of themselves have highly situational picks in their build pool. Players have certain ways they choose to play a champion, and build them accordingly, to their situation and intended goal in a game.

It's ludicrous to think there's only one way to build a champion.

However, it is commonly accepted that certain champions have accepted items that are considered essential to them, known as "core" items. If you build your core correctly, they have little room to complain.

Build it anyway you like but be prepared to be flamed for it

Since is there one way to build? For Example, when I play Twitch you can rush item 3153 or item 3142 . They both work, but can be better given a certain situation. Some champs have a straightforward build path, like Gangplank . But others like Graves can be built a variety of ways.
Ultimately, your build should fit your play style, not someone else's. Builds depend on whether you're ahead or behind, as well as what your team needs (tank or damage, waveclear or seige, etc.).
