Since Riot appears to think Off Meta Champs/Not communicating your off meta Champ is ban worthy

Guy Fox Teemo··10 votes·786 views

-Am I allowed to report Malzahar support since its "Off Meta?" -What about when Bard roams? He's obviously not with his Adc 80% Of the time, so he's trolling right? -Ivern support? The guys obviously trolling -Oh MF Support? This just keeps getting worse, better report (Since you know they're playing something off meta) -Also any time someone doesn't play how I want them to play (even if they told me what they were going to do) I can report them because it frustrates me and I don't like that (Even if they're trying to win).

This is essentially the Logic the Lead Support Specialist (WookieCookie) seems to have, regarding the Nunu Support Smite Case "Players didn't like it, despite it being a winning strategy; So were going to ban him because people don't like how plays" - Pretty much saying "Play the dam meta and be held hostage by 4 other players if you dont want to be banned".

Who's to say the other 4 players are right in reporting him? Just because they dislike his strategy? Just because his strategy is something different from the Norm of the past 6 years, doesn't mean he shouldnt be allowed to play it. As long as a players intent is to win, he can very well dam play however he wants. And you cannot argue in anyway his intent wasn't to win, the guy is currently DIamond 3, Diamond 1 last, year and Challenger in Season 4 when he played more.

Riots getting ridiculous with these bans; Despite always saying we can "Break the Meta" they go ahead and ban players, who very well do that.

Can you people please stop using Bard as a "example" in these threads. Take one look at his kit before you speak about "roaming". Malzahar, nunu, singed etc etc doesn't have the kit to support a roaming strategy but Bard does. Stop comparing a literal roaming support, created to support roaming to champions who aren't made to roam inherently.

You don't play much league do you? Any support champ can roam just like bard. mobi boots + speed buffs ftw.

You,who play League more than us,teach as the right way to play.Explain the mechanics of Bard,Malzahar,Nunu e.t.c.The roaming potential differs from champion to champion.About his ultimate maybe?

Bard is one of the top,if not the top one of the game when it's about roaming.Yet again,no matter how mayny times we explain it emo rage players won't listen.For the love of god,it's not about off-meta picks.It's the decision that destroyed his adc's early game(maybe whole game) that banned this guy.

Sona roams better, nunu can roam equally if not better, nami has faster roam. Off the top of my head.

Go play Sona with smite then,leave your adc alone,roam the whole map to heal to team mates and gg.I'm sure your team is gonna enjoy it.

I play league. More so than you. Do not insult or question my considerably questionable knowledge of the game. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

I have over 800 games this season on one account, so no, you don't play more than me.
