This happens way to often. Someone gets support, doesn't like it and picks an ADC and goes to town. I'm curious as to why, specifically for the Support role, there isn't a list of champions that can be played. If you're in a support role and you pick something thats obviously not support, you've done your team a great disservice. Why even play draft?
Who says marksmen can't be played in support? Oh .. it's not META.
Riot doesn't have any rules saying which champ can be played in whatever position. You can play an enchanted in top lane and a marksmen in support if you wished.
Off-META is not a punishable offense.

Mostly because the meta isn't set in stone. If you want a support to play your preferred champion and play it the way you like, your best bet is to duo.
Its like this in everylane, people play off "meta" all the time, Ill say this much, I would rather a auto filled player play a champion there good with even if its off "meta" than 1st time a champion that is "meta"
The meta is actually whack right now. There are some who aren't even taking a marksman into the bottom position.
Anyone can play any champion in any position they want.
Last season I played Pantheon support when I was autofilled. Was it good? No. Did I manage to win games with it? Yes, and more than you'd think. I've seen Keegun do it in challenger and people usually didn't complain.
Better let people play what they want. Most players you meet want to win, and even if you dislike their picks, you're probably better off letting them play a champ they know than first time Bard support.
People can play whatever they want.
