Champs out of their 'normal' roles Yes or No?

[quote=Chaotic Bliss][quote=SatansFate] Tankeon would be a good example. His ultimate is a good initiating tool, and his stun is decent CC. However, just taking tank items doesn't make you a tank... I mean, eve with tank gear? :L [/quote] Pantheon is item dependant. That said, so is TANKEON. I built TANKEON to tank, and he does just that. He fills all the requirements to be a tank. He takes dmg, initiates like a beast, has CC, can sets up for who gets focused down. He keeps people from dying, and gets enemies killed. Dont say TANKEON cant tank if you havent tried it or seen it work effectively. And tank Eve? Yeah Ive seen it, via Scrax. And i must say its a lovely sight to see. Eve is Scrax's Love Toy, and he will do with her as he pleases.[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995]Sion was built to be a tank (though the recommended items suggest tanky DPS), but he's played most commonly as an AP champion nowadays. Same with teemo - he was meant to be an AD champion, but his mushrooms have such good map awareness that doing 3/4 of a squishy's health with them, and using his poison darts to do amazing damage as well, was just too good to pass up. So, in effect, many champs end up being better for a certain role than they were designed for.[/quote]

[quote=Footyballs]Such as how Kassadin was meant to be built hybrid so he could destroy casters. He still destroys casters, however he is usually built pure AP because he has good ratios. Most of the champs people are playing are already being built untraditionally. Zilean is meant to be built as support, many use him as an AP nuke. Singed is meant to be off-tank, some build him straight AP or straight tank. Kassadin (see above). Teemo (in another post). Sion (in another post). Master Yi, some build him AP. I'm sure there's more too... So I guess the answer to your question is that everyone is already doing it.[/quote]

[quote=Kael312][quote=Jebus McAzn] However, playing champions in unorthodox ways could prove to be more effective than the way they were "meant" to be built - like offtank Swain vs. AP. [/quote] i always thought swain was made to be like a tanky caster, i thought i remembered riot saying they made three casters in a row, to fill various roles, lux for support, swain for tankiness, and leblanc for burst, i may be insane though, its happened plenty of times in the past[/quote]

[quote=Chronosking]first off i play ap trynd whenever i can get the chance (im determined to fine tune the order and strategy to get him as a legitimate threat), right now its more of a pray to god you get rolling or you fail, secondly iv seen a as/ad taric and he quite honestly scared me and even won the game for us with a backdoor all by himself. i think role swapping is something that should be tried out more, keeps the game fresh, keeps you from going oh theres a kennon gotta do such and such. i love seeing all these ideas people come up with then get trolled by everyone during there match only to emerge the victor at the end. at the same time i think you should have a farely competent team who can know you and work with you to make it happen.... cause let me tell you ap trynd in solo que is pretty much begging to be flamed.[/quote]

[quote=Chronosking]also chaotic i love your guides keep the chaos and sweet sweet bliss rolling[/quote]

[quote=Chaotic Bliss][quote=Footyballs] So I guess the answer to your question is that everyone is already doing it. [/quote] I mean to the extremes like TANKEON. I know I keep bringing that build up, but its the best example that I can think of lol. Chronosking, Ive got something in the works that will turn heads... Im making a Hybrid of a champ. Its not uncommon to see this champ Hybrid, but the things this champs can do are uncommon as far as I can tell.[/quote]

[quote=Footyballs]You making a tanky/dps Kat Chaotic? Guess it would synergise well with her W, E combo damage reduction... And with a Rylai's slow she couldn't be ignored when she ultis... I think I'm on to something here.[/quote]

[quote=Zeprido]Tank Teemo with his global taunt would be pretty good. In response to OP, AD Soraka is actually really strong if played right. I've had moderate success playing as AD Alistar, he can BD like crazy late game. Same with Cho' Gath in terms of building AD and being successful, not BDing.[/quote]

[quote=Chaotic Bliss]No its not Kat... But you can keep guessing if you like. hmmmm I think Ill compile a list of builds that are extremely out of role.... It will make for an interesting thread... I dont think Ill post it on the Official forums though[/quote]
