Free Meta.

[quote=FalseoGod]I would like to note that even among champion role and distributions, there are various strategies used to exploit different strengths during game phases. There are teams that bet on early pressure and snowballing, comps that rely on protecting a carry (usually only effective as 5 premades with good synergy), siege comps, poke comps,... The problem with [[darius]]//[[jarvan]] botlane is that not only they have very few escapes, but they [b]need[/b] to get it going and they [b]need[/b] to control midgame really well - their strongest moment. Marksmen are usually oriented towards latemid - midgame, and since the meta itself is favoring longer games it's counterintuitive not to do this sort of lane. At best, you can leave a carry in a sololane, but that means that any half-competent jungler + toplaner can simply gank that guy to death and leave him parched for gold. One last thing: midlaners are not there only due to their ability to roam, it's also for dragon control and because midlaners scale really well with levels too (since their main damage source is/should be abilities)[/quote]

[quote=ThreadOfFate]Eyy, KodY. Good to see you join the Masterrace (kappa) [rule] In all honesty, the meta is there because it's what works. There's a reason i don't even bother trying to 'break' the meta, and it's not the flames you will recieve from your teammates for doing so. If you do happen to play an unorthodox champ and it's the best thing ever, good on you; go and show them unexpecting adcs who's superior! But mostly you'll just end up with teams that hate you for 'troll' character picks, then they will feed on purpose to spite you, saying that 'game was thrown when [[Gnar]] bot pick'. Personal experience of mine. In all actuality, the insane poke of mini Gnar, and the heavy CC of mega Gnar is very powerful against squishy adcs/supports.[/quote]
