The biggest issue I have with LoL. Riot DOESN'T condone unorthodox picks!

I'm honestly afraid to play any more. I refuse to give up my Twitch top over this.

Meanwhile, posting ಠ_ಠ is easy.

look him up. (If you guys missed the whole "finding out the real guy" part)
he troll builds, and then talks **** to his teammates.


So no, I don't think you can get banned for unorthodox champions (but I don't condone it in ranked matches), only for the way you carry yourself.
Say you were on my team. If you did go AP Hecarim mid, I would most likely report you. Why? Because you picked Hecarim while there are so many other champions that could fit that role better. In ranked, I want to win. By choosing a better champion for the role, you have just increased my chance of winning. By going a champion that does not fit the role, you're just asking for a report. By all means, go try your build in normals, ranked teams, and bots. But don't bring that stuff into solo queue.
For your one game of enjoyment, you've just ruined the game for 4 others. That's just selfish.

Oh no Riot, better hurry up and say something before you lose 1 guy.

It's not that I'm afraid insomuch as I believe the adoption of WookieCookie's banning criteria as the status quo will result in the permanent hegemony of the current meta.

I do not wish to be a part of that system.

I see gold elo. And I've never seen the logs. I don't think anybody has.

You can only report people after the match. Just saiyan. If he successfully beats the other mid, I wouldn't report him, would you?

Solo Q ranked, Randoming picks, talking **** to his teammates, picking troll picks and then feeding horrifyingly badly.


Nothing wrong here at all, nothing at all. Don't mind the other 4 people on your team losing because of you.

What if I want to AD Carry on MF but you think Graves is better suited? You'd be right, as he is pretty much flat better...but am I subject to being reported by you since you had a different idea as to what I should play? According to WookieCookie's posts and sort-of according to his vague email reply, I'm punishable if enough of my teammates agree that MF was a bad choice and that I ruined the game.

A better example might be, what if I want to take AP Ezreal mid? Is he "good enough" for you not to report me? Where do you draw the line? which champions can I pick? What items may I buy on them?

you see now how this behavior when backed up by riot suspensions/bans, is enforcing a certain meta on a game which is all about an evolving and growing new strategies. Surely you can see why this is a bad idea.

i'm glad i trolled so many ppl on the earlier posts, i realized my purpose was to chase away the dumb ppl who suck at arguing


xD


127 still no riot post


i think they are ignoring this one. its all about HOW THEY DONT THINK before they act.


i admit i liked the tribunal when it first came out

they said (we made sure it can't be abused)

they were wrong, it is abused, regularly. i think the tribunal needs reworked/ taken out. or made riot exclusive


they gave us the power, and look what happened, all hell broke loose
