recently me and my friends started doing some anti meta set ups, mostly trilane bot and duo jungle. we've been having a lot of fun because honestly we get to play how we want. yes we do this in standard queue and we do alert whoever we queued with to our intentions before the game starts.



how about you all? anything fun and antimeta you've done recently?

I've always wanted to try the roaming taric who just chills with the jungler for xp. Or have two strong counter junglers that are always terrorizing their jungle.

I've seen Darius/Blitz bot and I've always wanted to try that too. Or the Blitz/Thresh. Blitz pulls and hits lantern pulling under turret. Knocks him up, pulls him back. Free kill

We also played tri man bottom with BC+AListar combo.
To make it better we added Thresh and there it was the ultimate annoying kill botlane :D

I played two games today with Ziggs at solo top. Everyone lost their minds at me. I ended up carrying both of those games, and clearly dominating my lane.

People are awfully locked in to their idea of what the meta should be. I suspect most of them don't even know why.

ive played a fair bit of these things and always had fun doing them. Last i tried was Riven bot lane with a Soraka support. used the shield from my e to go in then used q and w for harrass then walked right out with barely any damage while alot of damage done to leona or jinx. More of a kill lane setup instead of a farm lane. ive also tried solo bot lane Singed. though in the end the support went ahead and went mid where our adc and support were at. all fun:)

They don't. That's the worst part. Sad to say the majority of LoL community are sheep.
Personal habitual activites? Utilizing gargantuan idioms to fabricate intelligence.

Haven't done it recently, but I've done a 5 smite team lol.

Invades go down amazingly well because we can 3 man secure their blue, secure our jungles blue
, mid and top go secure their red and our jungler can be left to his own affairs.
Everytime we'd have the chance to go into our jungle to clear a camp it'd be np

Taking control of the jungle like that really set the game in motion and drake and baron were by 20. The gold lead got us really ahead and pushing turrets down wasn't a problem.

It's a fun thing to do ahah :P

Elohell is like Irelia's stun: if your real level is equal or lower than the level you are in, you're STUNNED there forever. If your actual level is higher than the level you are in, you're just SLOWED in your way up.
