I'm happy that it states in the code that not following the meta isn't bannable.

I play AD Malz every once in a while, almost always get crap in pregame lobby for it. I miss the days where there was no meta, and you picked the champion you liked and went to any lane you felt like. I wish I could be back in my pre-30 days but I'm not going to make a smurf because that isn't fair.

And I definitely agree with the damned if you do, damned if you don't. If I play AD Malz and do bad, it's because Malzahar isn't supposed to be AD and I didn't follow the meta. If I play AD Malz and do good, it's because the enemy ADC wasn't good enough. I will however admit that some roles obviously don't make sense, and shouldn't be attempted for any reason.

All champions can build AD because everyone has an autoattack, but not all champions have an ability that scale on AP, so building AP on an AD champion is usually useless.
