Okay, maybe we've gotten off the wrong here.

I don't HATE the meta, nor do I want to drasticallly change it. I'm just sick of the fact that it's getting so goddamn boring. When I play any lane, I want to have free choice what I pick and what to build. I don't want to get forced to buying particular items, or picking particular champions because it's the meta that tells me so.

I, for instance, believe that Support Gangplank is a valid choice, depending on the matchup, and that it can help win certain lanes easily. And, of course, in most cases, picks like would be better, safer and whatnot. But I don't always want to pick the best and safest way, simply because it#s boring.

I mean, see it like this. In normal games, blind pick, my Pc is slow so I enter the chat last and of course, everything but support is already taken...for the Xth time in a row. So I have the choice of playing my trusted supports over and over again...which gets boring, OR I just pick an unusual support (I went support once, and it ´worked perfectly, zoning the enemy Ez and Leona and tanking skillshots). And it turns out to be fun sometimes. Other times it doesn't because the enemy is way too careful or experienced, or my ADC is simply not good enough. But at least I had some fun trying something new.

I should note that I don't do stuff like this in ranked usually...but I also don't play ranked usually. Ranked is the only case where I actually play to win, never troll, and always do the best I can, even if it's futile, simply because otherwise it would be a waste of time.

In Normals, this is different. There, any form of boredom or frustration is a waste of time. I play this game for fun, and I won't stop doing so...and the meta is useful, but not always fun, adn that's a fact!
