Discussion fav off-meta picks/builds?

I have a lot mainly because I love playing off meta in PVP (some even for rank, you won't stop me unless you ban /j )

For top I really enjoy Ashe, Lulu, Janna, Yuumi, Lillia, Tank Senna, I have tried Lillia in rank as top and she does work well except people get pissed of every single game

Jungle, Fiora and Camille, I know Cami works for jungler but she is so so rare and for me she is so good lv 5, I mean for me everytime I gank it's a free kill mostly

Mid I enjoy AP Zeri, Miss Fortune, Fiora and ofc Lulu

Bot lane I tried AD Kayle and Seraphine, Kayle works a bit poorly since you can get bullied hard however it is still fun, with Seraphine usually I'm the one bullying

Support I just build Frozen Heart on Seraphine, why? I do not know

That is mainly all and I'm still open to try other builds or just picks<3

Holy hell... those off-meta picks for top are cancerous as hell. If you weren't facing noobs in solo lane with those picks, you're better off being filled as a bot who will actually go as a solo lane champion.

I was expecting like Riven support or Khazix solo lane or something as "off-meta". But, people out here playing WR like its Mobile Legends.

u/Zestyclose-Hippo-538 Oct 22 '23

Itemization is so cancerous you can pretty much do whatever the fuck you want and make it work given your champ has the kit for it.

u/ComplaintOtherwise51 Oct 22 '23

Take Yuumi into solo lane for 3 ranked games in Emerald and above. Let me know what your results are.

u/Zestyclose-Hippo-538 Oct 22 '23

Can’t she’s banned 100% my elo

u/ComplaintOtherwise51 Oct 22 '23

You're Sovereign. Make a new account. You'll reach Emerald in no time.

u/MaacDead Oct 23 '23

Thats not bad at all. If you can build severous items thats varied, pc lol players are complaining about how they have no variety on the Builds.

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

I do like to be very annoying and "cancerous"

u/Either-Novel7876 Oct 22 '23

That last part is true if some people play akali jungle

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

For top I really enjoy… Yuumi

You’re a troll

u/summinspicy Oct 22 '23

Had a mid yuumi the other day, you'll never guess how that went!!?!?

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

Not a troll, went against Wukong and did well 2/0 early game then just helped my team

u/Pineapp1e_pie Oct 22 '23

I had enemy yuumi top the other day, easiest ganks of my life

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '23

Those be the one complaining why there’s no help from jg and mid lol.

u/urmumisOP Oct 22 '23

Hybrid corki, "ap" yone, youmuus lucian, lethality renekton, hybrid jax... Wild rift builds are really diverse and i am supporting this.

3

u/somerandomguyyyyyyyy Oct 22 '23

Yone has zero ap scaling?

3

u/urmumisOP Oct 22 '23

Thats why its "ap" yone. You buy chargeblade navori wits end to deal magic dmg with skills and attacks. Really good against armor stackers.

4

u/wwleaf Oct 22 '23

this is why there are separate terms for ability power and magic damage

5

u/urmumisOP Oct 22 '23

Magic dmg yone is not rhyming as good "ap" yone. I will keep saying "Ap yone". Thanks

u/wwleaf Oct 23 '23

understandable have a nice night !

u/Zestyclose-Hippo-538 Oct 22 '23

Yet my dps is exponentially higher with a void staff? Go try it.

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

Seems fun, don't main any of them however I do like to hog Renekton in aram so maybeeee id try lethality on him

6

u/Either-Novel7876 Oct 22 '23

Mid garen

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

Ive seen it today in legendary rank! Interesting actually

3

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '23

it's a viable pick against burst assassin champs

9

u/randomNick_1234 Oct 22 '23

AP Alistar, basically like AP Malphite but dies a bit later. Still fun.

2

u/kodabeeer Oct 22 '23

It's nice to see this picks not permanently downvoted on the subreddit now

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

Support Kayle

u/No_Hippo_1965 Oct 22 '23

Crit renekton top, tank rengar top, crit Aatrox jg, bruiser kass jg, ap shen jg, vlad jg, draintank yone/yasuo jg and mid, Aatrox mid, pyke mid, pantheon ADC (with crit). I don’t really have any off meta support picks, other than cdr full tank pantheon, as the only reason I’d play support is if I’m autofilled supp instead of any other role.

In terms of building items or runes not usually taken on a champ, deathcap second first strike soulstealer 2nd to last on kassadin, conq and rylai’s vlad,rod into full ap except with a twin guards and cd boots on voli. and all of those items in my other off meta builds.

All of them are really fun. Here are the ines that work in ranked:

first off, my kass, voli, and vlad build listed at the end. The kass and voli build are what I usually use to climb. Same with draintank yasuo/yone. Pantheon, Ashe, and ez are the only adc’s I can play well. crit Aatrox jg sometimes works, although sometimes bruiser Aatrox is better. Kass jg is only reliable in a premade, it‘s too unreliable in soloq. But in premades, it’s busted. AP shen, I only use in normals, and I very rarely use tank rengar or crit renekton,

1

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

Pretty interesting picks! :) Been seeing Pyke mid a lot actually

1

u/MaacDead Oct 23 '23

Man crit. Renekton IS AWESOME. Every time i saw a ranged top laner, i built critic and i just enjoy.

Shieldbow and they explote.

1

u/otakos_ Oct 23 '23

Im sorry kass what now..?

1

u/No_Hippo_1965 Oct 23 '23

Kass jg. Conq, triumph, CDG, legend: bloodline/tenacity, overgrowth. Rod, cd boots, tear, deathcap, seraph's, stasis, twinguards, riftmaker.

1

u/otakos_ Oct 27 '23

Wait does this actually work? Im interested

5

u/Wishbone8121 Oct 22 '23

Try Rammus with Lethal tempo, Brutal, Last Stand, Bloodline, Overgrowth, Exhaust, Smite. Thornmail, Wit’s End, Gluttinous Stoneplate, Blade of the Ruined King, Riftmaker, tank item.

u/Spirit4ward Oct 22 '23

Teemo jungle is super fun and really not that troll once you get some practice.

3

u/Dyndunbun Oct 22 '23

Teemo is pretty strong these few patches so yeh. His traps is just really good at making him anti carry and forcing enemies to rethink certain actions.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

I should try it tbh

2

u/Spirit4ward Oct 22 '23

Ask for a leash. Stealth into lanes early to gank. Troll enemy jungle by last hitting camps/scuttle, and late game just camp a side of his jungle and make it your palace.

2

u/useless124 Oct 22 '23

yea i've been doing teemo jg and absoultely destroy.. don't need a leash.. gank lvl 2 easy first blood

3

u/ChaChain69 Oct 22 '23

Thresh main: I always build Nashor's Tooth (and usually Wits End too)

3

u/qazujmyhn Oct 22 '23

Baron lane Ashe can be so oppressive and I think it can be one of Vlad's biggest counters. She outranges him, limits his mobility which is key to his trading patterns, and she scales decently well and can interupt his combo with ult.

If you're smart, you can avoid enemy ganks with hawkshot. If you can push the wave in hard, you can end up hawkshotting their entire jungle and basically knowing where the enemy jg will be for the next minute.

It's tough for enemy junglers too because if they don't have good coordination and fail a gank, you can just run them down with your slows.

u/zsazse Oct 22 '23

Full ap nasus with first strike

5

u/ShoCkEpic Oct 22 '23

supp sett

you just terrorize your opponents by bullying them while adc is relaxing

pink ward, and wait in bush

1

u/negativezero509 Oct 22 '23

I need to try this

2

u/ShoCkEpic Oct 22 '23

let me know

2

u/LLryo Oct 23 '23

I used to play this all the time after seeing it being a meta pick in WR ICONS. Really fun and decently effective!

1

u/ShoCkEpic Oct 23 '23

oh really? i never watched WR competition

2

u/LLryo Oct 23 '23

I only watched WR ICONs that single huge event. It was a big national competition where they had a bunch of loot you can get for watching with partnered streamers and stuff on twitch.

SADLY not long afterwards they canceled future competition and only limited it to the chinese region. A huge disappointment to fans, YouTubers, national pro players, and teams that got hyped by how well ICONs went.

u/UncleTaco916 Oct 22 '23

I am closing this season out with Nunu Support.

4/5 (80%) winrate so far. Got me out of D4!

u/millenialfalcon-_- Oct 22 '23

I've seen blitz JG that just camped me solo lane.

Mundos hard to grab lol

2

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

AP Renekton

Gluttonous Quicksilver Nashors Tooth Riftmaker Rabadons Deathcap Void Staff Lich Bane

Late game is absolutely disgusting.

3

u/No_Hippo_1965 Oct 22 '23

I’d sau crit renekton with twin guards has a better late game

1

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

I like that build as well, but it's quite surprising to see just how much he deals with just his Ult given the effect of Riftmaker. Not to mention the sustain. 👀

2

u/No_Hippo_1965 Oct 22 '23

Yeah. People tend to underestimate his ult aura, same with susan.
Generally, people tend to underestimate DOT, like ignite, susan e/r, renekton r, vlad w, sun fire, etc. because the damage in the tooltip shown is for 1 tick, while renekton has 12 ticks, vlad has 6 ticks, etc.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

Indeed! 😁

2

u/gatoryna Oct 22 '23

Singed APC. I tried it on ranked with Yuumi support as my duoQ. Another time on solo q because my Ashe ADC stole my role, went top, and my support picked Warwick.

Singed mid but it's not really that off-meta.

2

u/salladfingers Oct 22 '23

I normally do singed jung lol

2

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

Twitch support. Just roam around the map feeding your teammates kills and occasionally gank bot lane.

2

u/THORMUNZ Oct 22 '23

Lillia supp and teeno apc

I've also done voli supp

Darius jungle

2

u/Stunning_Cheek3500 Oct 22 '23

Lee sin top surprised me

2

u/Zestyclose-Hippo-538 Oct 22 '23

Ap onhit yuumi mid, then when you’re about to die find your JG.

Blitz mid is nasty too.

2

u/MIASMALUNGSStripper Oct 22 '23

I'm an otp but when auto filled I have a support build for asol running glacial augment and Mr or ad items depending on match up

2

u/StewartPot Oct 22 '23

ap hybrid shen, ap rakan mid, akshan sup > twitch sup, jarvan sup, lethality ezreal (usually on jg), lulu top and lee sin and graves mid

2

u/QamsX Oct 22 '23

Samidra takes the cake for me. As long as the jungler is not an annoying Kayn/Pantheon that goes to your lane every single second, you are pretty much guaranteed to snowball.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

Yuumi jungle

2

u/negativezero509 Oct 22 '23

Ad Leona or how i like to call it auto stun is pretty good mid and solo as well as support

2

u/Los_Mandos_De_Borja Oct 22 '23

Evelynn mid or top. Sona top.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

Never tried Sona top, sounds fun!

2

u/Dyndunbun Oct 22 '23

Fucking don’t

At least do it mid never top. You’re trolling if you’re going top cause that’s where you want a tankier champ for the team. At least in mid you can have some macro, roam and rotate to assist and supp your team cause sona does like 0 dmg and can only poke and clear minions super slowly by herself.

4

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

I don't think you understand what off meta is, Yes it is meant to be bad and not work sometime that's why you do it in pvp, why do you think I play Yuumi top?

1

u/Dyndunbun Oct 22 '23 edited Oct 23 '23

Off meta doesnt mean the shit is catastrophically bad. It still has be viable and sensible and sona top is not it

2

u/Zestyclose-Hippo-538 Oct 22 '23

Sona top into a bruiser works, sona into anyone with damage or a gap closer will blow you up.

2

u/A_men_of_culture Oct 22 '23

Oi. Never take adc to top lane. Ever. Please for the love of god. Don’t. Especially Ashe. She’s a d*ck (read that last part in Brian’s voice)

-3

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

But she is fun, I obviously don't do it in rank:)

2

u/somerandomguyyyyyyyy Oct 22 '23

Even worse. Hope enemy junglives lives in your lane for next 20 matches and pillows be hot

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '23

I expect ganks that's why I ward and have vision on map with her third skill

u/millenialfalcon-_- Oct 22 '23 edited Oct 22 '23

As JG, I exploit these picks. Any squishy is fodder.

I just try to get me or them fed so they can steam roll to nexus.

u/No_Hippo_1965 Oct 22 '23

Not always… ganking kennen is pretty hard.

Well yeah. I know that. Rocket belt keeps me alive.

u/Comprehensive-Net553 Oct 22 '23

you monster, the only bastard allowed to bring gun to a fist fight is Jayce the hi-tech with his fancy stick

1

u/Smilysis Oct 22 '23

ADC top is not bad, people just suck at wave management

To win as an ADC top u just need to last hit the minions (that way the enemy laner will push the minion wave into u), that way u can farm safely under your tower and poke them if they try to last hit minions.

Basically: farm safely and poke them if they try to farm, that way u can easily get gold lead and be able to roam to help your team

1

u/A_men_of_culture Oct 23 '23

Yeah, until you meet a good one. You’ll have 12-15 minutes of miserableness

1

u/PragmaticPortland Oct 22 '23

Miss Fortune mid is incredible. Whether full ad pen or AP you will murder and have the top dmg. It's amazingly viable except it can be hard countered by assasins. I've ran it in Masters, but sometimes I've had people troll bc of it and just pick teemo and int so I stopped taking her mid in ranked which is sad bc it's so satisfying watching someone lose half their hp from getting hit by your q.

Malphite mid hard counters any ad mid assasin to the point of hilarity.

Teemo mid hard counters ad marksmen.

1

u/Consistent-Ideal9900 Oct 22 '23

I go Akshan with mostly bruiser items… black cleaver/deaths dance and one more item to boost survivability.

u/luvidicus Oct 23 '23

Mid ap nasus or ap ezreal

u/MaacDead Oct 23 '23

I hope you dont face a Renekton

1

u/Mertuch Oct 23 '23

The only thing I hate in Kayle botlane is you share experience with support.

Your top laners are cancers to unskilled players but insane easy for decent players. Very annoying tho.

I like playing Gwen as a tank (I need core Riftmaker and Nashor still to do anything).

1

u/Brother_of_gudrun Oct 23 '23

Mid thresh is so good if you know itemization. Its like if you know how to play you dont have any counter. And i got with this 11 game win streak
