So we're in champion select for a ranked game. This guy calls top lane. No biggie. He's pretty low on our pick food chain, so we can secure support, ADC and jungle to ensure they don't get counter picked. Low and behold, they pick renekton for their top lane. Tough top yeah, but honestly, renekton is a trash champion for solo queue. I'm going to assume this guy will pick something decent top to vs renekton. Low and behold, he reveals in champion select "Lol, should I go Soraka top or ryze top? x3". We tell him no. To everything. Just no. Renekton will rape soraka without the use of any sort of protection and Ryze will.... well he'll do okay, but honestly, once renekton gets his three hit wombo combo up and running, it's a matter of "When he gets MR" until you're going to get your ********* widened. So we protest to our teammate. Please pick a decent top lane. But then he goes "The pros do it! Let's break the meta!". I'm a fan of going against the meta, I really am. So I inquire "Have you played soraka top before?" "NOPE!"



Yup. This ******** saw it in a pro stream and decided that he wants to try it. Guess what?




I practically had to drag a body bag with soraka's corpse in it. She was 0/5 when laning finished up. And she had the nerve to boast about how Renketon lost to a top lane soraka. Despite Renektonton being 3/1 by the time laning was finished. And his one death being by my wooden stumps. Yeah.




Don't be that guy. These bizarre champion picks that pros do are done by the pros because they practiced these champs top before. They know the game that well to be able to manipulate it as such.


The other key point is that "They know what Soraka can and cannot beat".


You honestly don't think people will watch a game (Seeing how people honestly believe e-sports are legitimate sports, lets use a sports example) of [AMERICAN] football, watch Payton Manning (Football man*****) throw an 80 yard touchdown pass and be like "Wow! I can do just that! I'm going to throw 80 yard passes in my next game of flag football! :B". They know when to make those plays. When the odds are simply right to chuck a hunk of leather 80 yards down the field with the hopes of success.


Be real. Don't be a burden on your teammates just because you're a stupid wanna be. Play what you know. Quit being a tool. Stop being the cancer that is the copy/paste material that makes up the 90% of this god awful community.




I need to quit LoL.

It's not a matter of doing it. It's a matter of not even playing it and thinking you can do right your first time trying it because some pro did it. Though, I honestly detest FotM but champs are FotM for a reason.

I'm learning how to play Lee atm.
And they're gonna nerf him soon.
I'm sad. :D


EDIT: If you got a choice of lane and pick something your uncomfy with, in ranked, you suck and should mebbe rightfully be banned.
But if u can't choose and are forced something ur uncomfy with, then just try to play a decent game and don't feed (on purpose).

What i really hate is when someone is picked into playing a role they aren't good at, and when they play poorly, their teammates give them **** for it. Just seems so disrespectful of them
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!

Says the fiddlesticks jungle?

1). Ryze counters Renekton. It's the reason he is picked and banned now in the LCS. Always has and always will. Ryze is just a positioning champ if your positioning sucks you will suck.

2). People who still play fiddlesticks jungle shouldn't talk about others sticking to the meta. Especially if that team has no CC or way to allow you to use your ult at its most effective time. Granted you still played really well, just pointing out that you argument is flawed in that you did exactly what you told him not to do. Yes I understand you have a lot of fiddle games, but the rest of your arguement was completely contrary to your own pick.

3). The opposing team didn't invade....who doesn't invade when it's fiddlesticks jungle and you have Thresh, Renekton, and Pantheon wtf!!! and played like **** and you won so your argument and reason for posting this are just to stroke your own ego and whine?

@SOAC Bas: Fiddlesticks jungle still works, I don't know what you're talking about, honestly.
The fear nerfs are real and they absolutely SUCK, but he still works. Especially when, like you said, no one invades. A lot of decent junglers can have a tough time early, like Sejuani and most junglers vs Lee Sin, Olaf or Pantheon.
If he is a good Fiddlesticks player, why shouldn't he play it?

I do agree with numbers 1 and 3.
