User blog comment:Bgscurtis/Unorthodox playstyle - countering the current meta game/@comment-3450702-20120722110545

I would upgrade/change this a little bit more: On bot, you'd have the high sustain current solo top champion, such as kennen, vlad, etc., preferably a ranged mage who can last hit safely against 2 people. Alternatively a tanky AD or a champ with low mana issues who can last hit under the tower with last hits and use his range to not lose all the gold.

Top would be a bruiser or mage, they could be changed up etc.

Mid would be the ranged DPS champ with MR glyphs, and the two supports could be strong roam/supports like taric, alistar, karma etc. who can constantly go ganking and not steal the carry's exp. Alternatively you'd have an aggressive support like one above, plus a jungler, and go counterjungling and ganking constantly, like we saw M5 do with urgot soloing bot and ali going with lee.

The reasoning behind my shifts is:

1) Surviving bot lane is not the goal; you want to win it, at least in terms of CS. It is unacceptable to lose one lane to win another, so you need someone who can play 1v2. Kennen and Vlad have good sustain once they get revolver, and can last hit from a distance; morde and heim, for instance, could just let them push out and then push back the whole minion wave, not missing many creeps. Shen has spammable ranged Q to last hit everything, mundo too.

2) The reason we have a support with the AD carry is that he scales with attacks, not abilities, therefore he doesn't need levels as much. So this way we're stealing your own AD's exp., while the enemy mid is losing cs and some exp, but the enemy mid relies on the levels much more, so even if he's a level up on our AD it's not that big a deal.

3) The reason we want to gank and counterjungle is to counter jungling altogether, and two jungler (or a jungler+support in our case) do the job much safer than one. Soraka+Sona do make sure a lane has 0% chance of dying, but aren't nearly as helpful as an alistar, taric etc. when it comes to killing people.

That's my thoughts.
