User blog comment:Deshiba/Solo Queue: Against the meta./@comment-9463023-20130704120112/@comment-4022742-20130704132556

People that don't intend to play what's required are just trolling, which is innately different then let's say, picking up Twitch to jungle with Ignite and Smite (that level 3 gank with ignite red and poison...)

The meta is what champ is played where most frequently with which spells they equip. A while back mid lane was dominated mostly by AP casters, aside from the occational counter. Now it's not weird to see a jayce, kha, zed or lee mid, not even as a counter. Hence picking up Galio, Kayle or Nidalee as support is strictly against the meta as they are considered mid champs. Picking CV or HEAL as lulu, would be against the meta, as exhaust is pretty much manditory (people tend to flip if you don't take it)

When picking up something unorthodox I usually tell people about my 70% win ratio in over 50 games, note that; no, you can't win them all, but that the winratio is high enough for it to not be a bad pick.

Tnx for reading, a lot of time and effort well spent, glad you enjoyed the read.
