I take a very simplistic approach to new builds.
If you're convinced
Trinity Force should always be rushed over
Hextech Gunblade then make a compelling case for it. Prove to me that you've reached this conclusion over the course of hours invested into the champion you're writing about.
Game statistics, replays, whatever. If you're against the meta, you're going to meet resistance unless you're putting a convincing alternative on the table that people can actually relate to.
I'm actually very open to new ideas and have no qualms with looking past things like ELO/etc. I just want to see that your approach to the champion is plausible and isn't just going against the meta for the sake of doing it.
tl;dr Keep your build the way you want it if you're convinced it's the best way to optimize your champion. You then need to prove to the masses that your way is the right way if you want to make any progress with upvotes.

I just don't want to be cookie cutter you know,but I don't want to be too out there? You know what I mean? I never go against the meta,unless I'm just playing around. I saw a support Ahri a few weeks back and I'm like ._.; they also built AD on her.
I also believe when you write a guide you're not 100% right. That there are somethings that you can not be right on. It's hard to prove to people that your way works without it being cookie cutter. I think I saw a guide for taking ashe to the jungle,I don't think it was on Moba,but somewhere else. I do agree there are a few flaws in my guide and I'm working on fixing them.
I always love feed back though and like asking questions.
