User blog comment:Megames1/Against the Meta - Sheep Edition/@comment-5791947-20130321094017

So this blog raises a few burning questions: What on earth does picking Orianna and Kayle have anything to do with going against the meta? You picked Orianna, you picked Karma, you are still going mid. You picked Kayle, you'll be going Top Mid Bottom or Jungle depending on the build, so what does this have anything to do with not following the solo top, solo mid and duo bottom meta?

What makes you any different from a "metasheep" when you're trying real hard to be different? Aren't you an "anti-meta"sheep yourself? So many a time I see people trying to be different, like a Nasus-Renekton bottom, only to be crushed by the typical Ezreal Nami ADC-Support standard comp. Or pick an Alistar solo-top, only to be deemed near-worthless late game because of how bad his mid game is.

The average player don't even truly understand the game, yet they try to experiment new stuff without actually knowing the consequences of their picks. It's like chemistry, if you're not a chemist with sufficient knowledge, you'd probably try to put flourine in a glass tube, or add water to a sodium fire, only to have even worse consequences.
