Untraditional builds. Viable?

[quote=Nighthawk]AP/Hybrid Tryn is the bomb. Seriously, the bomb. Does massive amounts of damage and heals like a beast. So underrated. Seriously >.>[/quote]

[quote=animorte]I stand beside Chaotic in our lack of traditionalism. Going with the unexpected and underrated is kinda my thing. Even moreso when nobody else expects anything of it.[/quote]

[quote=ShadowReign757]I also agree. It's like "Hey they have a Yi, rush Thornmail". *1 Thornmail later* "DAMN he's AP, well what a waste of money" Not too mention that while they build to counter what they think you were gonna do, you tear them up with what you are actually doing.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Here's what I think of the OP's suggestions: AD Janna - could be decent AP Pantheon - BAD AP Tryndamere - USELESS AD Anivia - BAD AP/tank hybrid Shen - Shen with tank items and [[Abyssal Scepter]]+[[Rylai's Crystal Scepter]] is a very good idea, but I think most people are building him that way anyway. AD/spell vamp Garen - bad AP Gangplank - could actually work. Tank Annie - Depending on what is considered tank it could be pretty decent. But only if tanky caster items are bought. AP Shen - bad AD Kassadin - Ok I got an idea that's actually kinda viable! :D Urgot with Manamune (he NEEDS it), Banshee's Veil and 3 Hextech Gunblades. Same build with Pantheon? Could actually work :3[/quote]

[quote=ShadowReign757][quote=Searz] There's still the problem of AP Yi being crap outside the lane... [/quote] It was an example.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Then it's also an example of how bad a champion can be outside their regular role.[/quote]

[quote=ShadowReign757]I never said it was good, I was just using it as an example of some of the things that can happen with non-traditional builds.[/quote]

[/quote] This almost always happens with me. XD[/quote]

[/quote] This just happened to me, except they got frozen heart and sunfire, AP yi just crushed them. He just does enormous damage to 4 enemies at once.[/quote]
