AP Yi made too much sense seeing as he didn't actually scale off AD (sort of like Trist where the advantage was triggering critical hits with AS steriods) and his ratios were really high and was never nerfed so it was more logical than AD.

AD Lux I've never seen that work. AD Sona is sort of weird but it does work. You'd have to get alot of mana because the passive damage benefits from rapid toggling.

The only problem with unorthodox builds is that people have to trust you and you have to know what you are doing.

I know that the idea to break the meta is always on the mind of people because it's dogma effectively and that feels oppresive to free expression but without Meta we have chaos. Nobody knows what anybody is doing or what to expect from them until after it's done. We are all also strangers so it's hard to set up a winning balance when no one knows anything about anyone.

That's why you must have order. The meta exists so even if you don't know the player you know what to expect from them because they aren't going to drastically divert from whats expected of the role.

AP tanks. Incredible magic damage with heavy CC. Build ability power? Uhh Your team will be expecting you to take at least 1500 to 2300 damage aggro at any phase of the game and trust me. AP tank for early game is bad news against a team that does damage.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that you have to obey meta at all times far from it. You just have to embrace it enough to exploit it. Meta says that assassins are the best choice for mid? Play the champ that does well against assassins. That sort of exploitation I can get behind.
