Anyone can do any role, you just need to change how you play them

False. I don't even need to explain why.

Ok, then your statement doesn't really matter? If you're gonna tell someone they are wrong but then give no reason as to why they are wrong because "I don't need to explain it" then your statement means nothing really..

Anyone can do anything, its harder for some champs in some roles but it can be done. I never said it was easy and I never said it would be done well, but it can be done.

Sometimes I take junglers top or take mages as support. Hell I've seen adc Sona and Soraka work. I've seen some toplaners go support and mid. One time I saw a Blitz jg. Adcs have gone top.

Anyone can go anywhere but you have to be more wary about that champ's weaknesses and strengths and you may need to change how you play them....I fail to see how I am wrong when there's nothing stopping people from going anywhere they please? People have been doing it for a while...

You can keep it going, but you know that this is not a real thing. You cannot expect to win any matchup just by playing hard enough. Knowing the meta is square 1. If you are cleverly inverting the meta, and have a sound strategy, that's a thing. "Anyone anywhere" is you misinterpreting either very skilled players leveraging very specific angles of a champ, or very bad players not knowing wtf to do and getting lucky. Or, these examples were games that just got rolled so hard it wasn't even funny. There is nothing in this game that promises every champ everything.

You obviously have a hard time at reading.

I never said that if you just play hard enough you'll always win. In fact I said it may not work well and it may be harder depending on who you are playing. My point was, you can make anything work but it might be hard or it might not go well all of the time. If you play a champ in a different spot than they usually go, odds are you'll have to change how you play them.

I never said all champs are promised everything and I'm confused as to what you are trying to get at. I never said it would work out well all the time.

Literally anyone can go anywhere, they aren't restricted to one spot. I fail to see how that one statement is "misinterpreting" anything? I've explained it multiple times and you've failed to actually say anything intelligent and it seems like you're not understanding what I've said or just not reading.

Like I said, you need to play them differently and know how to play them in the role you've selected so that it works the best it could for you, this includes builds and how you play against the other person in lane, is that not coming up with a strategy?

Oh and btw, all those examples I mentioned? High silvers, golds, and I've seen some plats bend the meta aswell. I'm not throwing in a couple of lucky bronzes I saw do it.

McKeifusApr 18, 20161 votes

Right. Bend the meta. Not anyone anywhere anything. That's fine, you're right, you can do anything anywhere. But you can also throw every game in doing so.

If you practice it enough and work on a strategy, it can work. I never said it WILL work, but it can. And for some champions, depending on where you take them, it might work out really well or it might be harder.

But saying "it doesn't work" is wrong, because people do it every day. Some champs excel at different roles, others you really need practice with.

Since I'm terrible at jg, but there are junglers I like to play, I take them other lanes. I've done the Naut top (and supp), I've gone Kindred adc, Sejuani top, Shyvana top, eventually I want to try Kha somewhere but I'm gonna try him out in customs first to get a better understanding of him.

You've gone from "Anyone can do any role" to "Obvious role changes for certain champs sometimes work if you play hard". All those you listed have obvious strengths that lend them to other roles in the current meta. Many champs can take on other roles just fine. I think we actually agree, you're just misstating your position.

My position is "Any champ can go in any role. For some champs, the role may work out well and for others it may be challenging. It may not work out the first couple times or it may go great. It may seem easier than you thought it'd be or you may need to come up with a specific strategy and plan in order to do better."

I think you can take any champion anywhere but for some champions the new role may require more practice and more strategic planning than others.

"Playing hard" wasn't really ever in what I said until you started bringing it up. I don't think you'll automatically win if you just try, no. To help win you definitely need to try, and depending on the difficulty of what you're doing you may need more practice and more of a strategy. It won't necessarily work out all the time but it can work.

The point of all this was just "you can take anyone anywhere" and depending on what you're doing you may need to change how you play. It isn't a false statement, there's literally nothing preventing you from mixing things up, and how well it works depends on the person, the role, and the champion. I don't really know how else to explain it because it wasn't really a 'deep' thing in the first place just sorta a general statement

"This week, ALL Chat asks the age old question: will Soraka jungle? Find out if Dash can overcome his teams’ less-than-spectacular performance and effectively jungle the GOAT goat."

Uh, no. This version of Soraka is definitely not the GOAT goat of the jungle.

Brownie points to people who actually recognize the season. Man, what a hell of a time it was for junglers...
