Potential ban for off meta pick..

Boo Koo God·Nov 19, 2016·2 votes·1,702 views

I saw this video today and he is potentially going to get perma banned because he is playing an off meta pick. I want to hear some people thoughts on this. I can't believe that a guy who takes something like singed into bot lane and plays him support and gets to plat with it is some one who is negatively impacting this game. I think he is playing something that works and is working efficiently enough to get to plat. It is refreshing to not see someone be a meta slave.

False premise, false logic and untrue.

Stop bringing up this troll post.

He didn't get a ban for playing an off meta pick. No one has ever been banned for that... including this guy.

I never said he got banned but Skyaldehart has posted the post of him being told that his off meta pick is basically for his suspension. I didn't say he got banned

It's not the reason. You can understand and accept that or not. Your name right now is fitting. Totally mindless to think you can shove an IF A then C argument down our throats.

I just think now that when people don't have anything else to bring up they point out my name.I mean I just wanted to have a conversation about the idea that if you play something new or fresh your only met with and unchanging meta oriented environment that doesn't allow for growth. Everyone is just so hostile I'm not here demanding anything all I want is to actually have a conversation about a game I play.

That's like me saying I don't think you were ready or that your the first player or something.

It seems what they are banning him for is the majority of people breaking Rule number 5 by reporting him for this offmeta pick. Everyone thinks singed players are trolls to begin with but whenever I see this guy play via the few videos I have seen from LoLHounds, He's not a troll. He's got a very good idea to help his team. If the ADC wants to be a little bitch about it that's them. There should be no reason for you to be that selfish and get all of the support when your team needs you.

He made it to plat by playing mostly singed top and moved to support for shorter queue times (it should be noted that he has like a...44% (?) win rate with singed support and quickly got demoted back to gold due to playing singed support)

relating to the first point, his +50% win ratio is from climbing through bronze and silver which any decent player can do. He barely made it up to Plat only to be demoted again shortly after

He almost never went bot lane (left his adc to 2v1 for the majority of the game, unless he felt like ganking)

he stole camps from his own jungler, not just the enemy

he never grouped

never bought sightstone (mandatory? no, but just something else to show he wasn't really supporting)

actively ruined the experience of the game for other players

so ya, he was queued up as a support be he was really just a 2nd jungler

"Also he uses report system as a weapon against teammates, falsely reporting them for intentional feeding as petty revenge.

And it's hard to even consider him as a 2nd jungler; considering some games he didn't even take enemy camps past Level 2. That's just co-opting another player's designated which is a bannable offense, without even touching everything else he does."
