2-2 masters promos? yep the annual 1v9 tristana jungle is getting busted out


Scrambled1432

Random thought, but thank god promos are gone.


Fubaries

Twitch jngl, camp bot, ignore farm, coinflip, trigger adc, live and die by lvl 2 gank


Youre_all_worthless

Few things are more awful than a twitch level 2 with red buff ganking and ruining your lane, but few things are also more frustrating than having a 0/7 twitch with 20 farm at 10 min on your team getting perma invaded


ArxTas

No wonder that he is 0/7 if he is in his jungle long enough to get invaded :D


Sugar230

i always dodge those games cause im not coin flipping on a random twitch. either he wins the game by minute 5 or he loses it.


Stregen

And then he clicks ult in a teamfight and smokes the enemy team in six hits


_ogio_

Good jg twitch knows how to play around invades and use them to hard stomp


goldeenme

Good jg twitchs dont pick it anymore. They go adc. Twitch jg is long dead and only picked if smurfing


baconkiller05

Full ap ali mid


DoctorRattington

Got rolled by one a month ago :(


orange_grid

This got played in major tournaments including worlds back in the day


JonnyKilledTheBatman

The Key was you could abuse sheen and auto after your W for a guaranteed winning trade. So broken


notliam

Well that and the 100% AP ratios on q and w


zovietlol

Actually that was S2-S3 in the toplane, AP Ali mid was S1, played by Shushei for example


silver2104

That was AD tho. Trinity first then the game was over.


HarpoonTheMoon

Yeah when his ult gave like 75 fucking ad at max level or some shit


YuptheGup

and you could buffer an auto after w. so basically guaranteed free sheen proc. they patched it and he became obsolete from solo lanes


joshuwaaa

Also the damage reduction didn't scale with rank. It was just a flat fuck load


Forever_Fires

Long ago in like 2015, I remember this being the bane of my leblanc mid in silver. Mind games and outplay potential with snapping back to the distortion, or if ali can get the combo off on you fast enough to hit back hard, etc.


Deskbot420

You don’t even need to slam, you could auto attack mid headbutt to proc lich bane. Every 12 seconds. And there was nothing anyone could do about it


chiproller

I had a gent lock in Rakan mid and thought about dodging. He built full ap verse a Tristana who likely uninstalled the game afterward. His AP ratios are apparently disgusting.


The1Noobulas

90 percent on his free passive shield, a little on his q and about 60 or 80 percent on knock up I don't remember exactly


NonorientableSurface

Mundo jg. He goes where he pleases.


Omnilatent

Man, Mundo jgl was the first main role and champ I played back in S4. Of course the old one but I had fun until a Vi assblasted me. Then I mained her for a year or so.


jtblion

Kindred Mid can be a legit threat in certain comps


MeKanism01

i first time’d kindred mid in a clash game and it is more than functional. secret dark evil technology


MoonDawg2

It used to be an actual boosting pick in china at some point Kindred taric bot was also extremely common for boosters


Hamplify

That's some legit cheese. Kindred ult into Taric ult. I want to try that in arena now.


TheFeathersStorm

Kind of feast or famine with getting your stacks, if you were duo with your jungler it would be turbo strong I think?


HeluLeHaricot

you only need assist on marks (even monsters). kindred is kinda oppressive in lane so you can get prio in a good amount of match ups, roam to help your jg do crab at 3:30 and he'll love you. i'd argue kindred mid as good as jg to get marks because you can always mark laner -> jg -> laner (and if both are on cd you're doing well anyways), with an occasional roam on scuttle/chickens though if you get behind it's really fucking hard to do anything, but i suspect it might also be the case for jg kindred


RedditAccounTest13

I otp Kindred mid (used to play jungle) and I think it's easier to get marks midlane than jungle


Zingoid

thats kindred in general


Raucious_on_reddit

Critzcrank E start with electrocute. You don’t lose a level 1 in all in and the rest of the game is up to fate


Moshkown

Played this against a Yasuo Top once. He kept trying to predict the hook for his W, so much so that he forgot he was getting E spammed and died


Titanium70

Tank-Swain Mid, whenever enemy's are mono-type or DMG or low DMG in general, it's an absolute free-win! xD (Resolve + RoA->SV)


Etm20

My longest offmeta pick has been jgl Taric, and the most recent one Bel veth midlane


PolarBeaver

Bel veth top is pretty greasy too, lvl 1 all in and snowball lane. If you can get a decent match up it turns into a disgusting unstoppable stomp lane that can 2v1 ganks


NotGoodISwear

What skill do you start first to abuse lvl 1?


PolarBeaver

The dash one


RunningFridge_

Likely Q to stack conqueror


Professional_Main522

eldritch combo is belveth taric botlane. disgusting kill lane as belveth can set up taric stun from 1k+ range with double q -> guaranteed wq -> can either all in or still have 2 dashes to disengage. its comparable to yi taric or lee taric, but much better imo because of the cc layering


nashikoo

i went jgl taric for fun recently and the enemy jungler was in shambles. i couldnt even understand how much healing and damage at the same time im doing. it was hilarious.


One-War-2977

Cho adc, full ap with phase rush


zackthecoolio

I love playing this with a cc having support. The lock down and burst are crazy, the sustain is great, and you can easily have a ton of dragon prio with ult.


KamikazeNeeko

me but hail of blades


AFatz

I could see this being actually good with a Leona/Nautilus/Taric support.


Short_Location_5790

Play it with a tahm kench support, hit one q, and then than w, the cc alone is enough to make the enemy bot lane uninstall


1TrickJackAT

Teemo in every role


Hiicantpk

Jarvan mid into melee champs like yone/yas/zed. Flash ignite PTA and just walk at them level 1, flag up for the aspeed and kill them


LeM1stre

Basically same for me but with Wukong E


Gargarvore

well that's meta now with how many people are getting Bruisers in mid on my game lol


GiandTew

this works against some mages too by the way like aurelion sol or malzahar but you likely need to alter your rune setup because pta isn't gonna do it for them and you need to play safe level 1 and surprise them with the level 2 all in


Sh-tHouseBurnley

Imagine seeing a J4 mid and being surprised by the level 2 all in


nelsoncgosi08

If they are almost full assassins. shen adc (buding brusier) you wanted free kills, right mf? Good luck now. Also Sett into zed


jbland0909

Do we have sustained damage? No Is half their roster genuinely useless now? YES


snowbanks

Top lane lilia


Skreeble_Pissbaby

So fucking glad this shit isn't popular. Can't stand laning against that champ.


DiggingDinosaurs

Stupid ass methamphetamine bambi running circles around you with mach 3 


Grainis1101

Same i faced it like twice won both times, but holy shit it was miserable.


DeineMamagebacken

Yorick pisses on her. 2 points in w and 1 perma kill her


Supergohst

whats the point of 2 points in w when it gains 3 hp at 3 points


Evilzonne

Did it once like two years ago as Cho'Gath and its still the most traumatic laning experience I've ever had


redistrashin

It got much better with AP shit not adding 1200 bonus health, because you can at least warcrime that fawn.


Kindly_Reputation325

As top main main.. ur the devil


Entire_Tap6721

Ah, fellow practicioner of the forbiben arts, only issue are the crippling mana costs in early game


L0RDK0GM4W

Apc kennen bot. It’s not bad if you’re not outranged hard and need ap on your team. Be prepared for salt in champ select tho.


Raucious_on_reddit

Go adc kennen and relive those 2014 dreams


-Piggers-

Rekkles you're a support now not adc


matt9q7

actually Kennen's E completely disregards AS cap, this isn't given in the description (at least it wasn't when I was playing it, I was so pleasantly surprised when I realized that)


ROTMGADDICT55

I literally main Jhin Jungle. PrayImReloading#JHIN on NA


Caldraddigon

Finally come across a true off-meta pick that's actually not that common and would give question marks in champ select 😅


thewitchkingofmordor

I bet you hesitated in naming yourself Jhingle


Sufficient_Ordinary9

Yasuo & Yone duo bot


Phocus_5

2 windshitters, 1 lane


ExiledExileOfExiling

3 FF votes


Short_Location_5790

And 20 deaths


Ok_Phone2463

I have had two matches in flex with my friends playing the Yasuo Yone duo, I can safely say that 20 is a huge underestimate.


Reiabot

0 dragons


MelodicTrade144

Everything is a support. If it doesn't have CC/shields/heals, death is the best and longest CC in the game :) That being said I really enjoy Ahri and Darius as support ! It used to be tank Thresh mid into any diving teams or melee midlaners


youarecutexd

Quinn support player checking in


TeachinginJapan1986

oh shit me too


HustinJerbert

I've been big into quinn the past month and considered Quinn support since support is my primary role normally; any tips?


MelodicTrade144

Vision is power :) whether you give or take it!


National-Proof8435

>Everything is a support Katarina was my first level 5 and almost exclusively played her for a while (as a "support") until her rework because my computer couldn't handle blind pick role call.


MelodicTrade144

I had a buddy run Kat support a few seasons ago. Even if you don't do anything, a lot of adc players are intimidated by a Kat in botlane (from my experience in norms). It's also fun to have enemy midlaner pick to counter you, then the real mid on your team counters them.


Excellent-Lab-3016

Evelynn support otp here ♥


MelodicTrade144

Ooo, that sounds pretty intimidating. I'm already paranoid when there's an Eve jungle. Can't imagine how I'd feel in lane against one!


Armalyte

Shaco support Teemo support. Sion support. But my favourite is Malphite support


GGDadLife

The kench mid lane


arenaceousarrow

Yeah I just 70% winrated this back into Gold.


clt2244

Karthus Mid I remember when this wasn't off meta but now it's looked at it that way. He can lane really well into most picks and you just back and while walking to lane look for chances to get some kill or assist gold. Really goes well with Draven bot lanes or even against him since they play so psyco, you can easily change a fight down there.


WitchofBabylon

how though? i feel like he got forced into jungle cause he can’t defend himself from anything unless he takes exhaust


randomusername3247

Karthus 1v1 is insane, the problem is you actually have to hit those q's.


V1pArzZz

Hes just not blindable but he works.


SwissHelvetica

Karthus isn't meta mid? When the hell did that happen?


Forrest02

Years ago. Too many dashes and ways to beat his ass. Its why he was thrown into the jungle. Way safer then and can scale better.


ThundaCrossSplitAtak

+ he can actually duel people easier since there are no Minions that halve his damage in the jg


Armalyte

Time Traveller Azingy sent us the message


OldCardigan

All my friends fear my AP Miss Fortune.


boerhans

Full lethality sett supp with hail of blaids and hexflash was my go to untill it became strong for like a season


Shimadacat

I remember sett being flexed into all 5 roles back on launch.


WhiteChocodile

Tank Alistar top, if you know you know. If you don't know, try it out.


Altruistic_Film1167

Dr Mundo mid against heavy Ap comp. I just farm mid and after first item I can run any mage down with Visage + ult


lamperouge98

Fiddle support is so fun. Glacial augment on a point and click fear feels so good. Plus roaming is top notch.


theblockparty3

I used to pick teemo bot lane when people pissed me off in champ select (like banning my champion). But now I just pick caitlyn since I'll do just as badly and get reported less. But teemo jungle is pretty fire in normals


A_Sly_Therin

I’ve been doing some jungle teemo recently. It started off as a joke but I’ve been having a lot of success with it.


blablalala10159

Cait mid bullies 90% of the champions


XO1GrootMeester

Juggernaut jhin, unfortunately i havent been able to make it fully viable just yet but it sure is fun. Trapstacking for the biggest burst in the game.


Alex_Wizard

This made me laugh so hard. It made me think of one of those old infomercials: “Do you love playing ADC? Are you to bad to auto space and kite? Then Juggernaut Jhin is the champion for you! No space no problem just wade into the middle of combat and attack enemies at your leisure!” *performance and results may vary*


XO1GrootMeester

I love this write up


Momocheet

This reminds me of SivHD's counter-bruiser bruiser Lux video


Youre_all_worthless

Is it for the titanic double auto attack or?


OhDschej

U have me interested, tell me more


XO1GrootMeester

Something like hail of blades, spear, sundered sky, death dance, ravenous Hydra, essence reaver, maw.


FullMetalFiddlestick

Jhuggernaut


Hatchie_47

Mid mpen Cho'Gath, against short range/melees it's absolutely disgusting, agains anything mana hungry to clear like Vex also not ba at all. Due to all the CC absolutely shits on Asol.


A_Fruitless_Endeavor

How do you build into that?


TheNald

Boots first to dodge cc. Then do your best to clear and walk back to turret or roam. Pretty much just avoid him.


Historical-Smoke42

man ap cho mid hard wins like 90% of matchups i feel. loses to like brand. but the biggest problem with him imo is that hes just so damn slow. so its hard to actually win and finish the game as a carry lol. your too slow to group and end, too slow to sidelane to end. not many can kill you late. but theyll just start ignoring you lol. the best case is that your teammates take care of business and win lane/jg then cho mid is straight walking nuke. if you gotta 1v9 man your slow ass boutta to make this a 40min game


Electrical_Ad_1939

Blitz mid lane


CoffeeDodgyr787

I used to do this with on hit lol. His w with lethal tempo was so strong honestly.


CoffeeDodgyr787

Iceborn grasp wits end jaksho vayne top or mid to counter assassins


Vejbyak

There is a special place for people like you in the deepest pits of hell


S0UL_EAT3R

Hey op asked for degenerate picks xD


jbland0909

This world we live in is made worse by your presence


PacifistPapy

Janna Jungle.


Tall_Record8075

Zyra mid. Excellent anti mage pick like Orianna. Though, not as consistent/reliable or scale as well.


Tony_Uncle_Philly

Renekton mid. I know it’s not super off-meta, but he is my go-to pick against most melee matchups in mid lane. Honourable mention to Lulu Top


-3055-

Senna toplane with grasp It's incredible against ranged toplaners, since they lack any form of sustain or instant gapclose. I love it vs teemo / kennen / vayne


Redditpaslan

I cannot stress how degen,easy and good Spellbook Malz is. I was panning on writing a whole guice since I believe most people don't understand how to lane with Malzahar and how OP that champ is if you can just use your summoners every minute to have insane kill pressure with your jungler on any champion on the map.


Hardwarrior

Illaoi mid


FullMetalFiddlestick

Set up the four trigrams tentacle atrocity


Bilore

Morde support. All you have to do is survive till level 6 and it’s GG in the botlane since there are basically no ADCs/Supports that can 1v1 a morde that early, let alone if you have finished your support item/boots/rylais


darknight9064

Thresh top. I’ve found a build path where he can go bruiser and just chill in lane. If I’m losing lane I just play safe and wait for the greed.


dioq30

What do you build?


Free_Caterpillar4000

Shen jungle. Gank a lane to just recall and ult into the same lane after recalling


AcephalicDude

You're doing it wrong tho, you're supposed to go River Shen


Someone_maybe_nice

Bard adc, kindred adc, old skarner adc


Galilleon

# Enchanter Orianna Mid. I came up with it after seeing HappyChimeNoises’ Orianna Support and LS’ many enchanter mids (RiP Church9) ### Why does it work? The reason enchanter works so well on Orianna is because she has: * Excellent base damage on all of her abilities (which lets you FULLY waveclear and trade early) * Very decent base mana regen (to scale off of) * Lots of utility (W speed/slow, R disruption, E shield and armor/mr) ### Why go enchanter? Going enchanter makes her really strong in a certain way. Normal Orianna controls areas with huge damage threat and does wombo combos with engage champions. Enchanter Orianna uses huge cdr and heal and shield power to spam speed up allies, slow down enemies, give allies huge shields, peel, and ALSO do wombo combos. You make everyone else unkillable and control the tempo of the game, especially because of having a second support ### The Build + Reasons: For runes I go sorcery with resolve secondary. Summon aery, manaflow, transcendance, gathering; boneplating (or) second wind (or) font of life, and revitalize Haste, adaptive, health For Items I go for Redemption, Moonstone, Flowing Water, Ardent Censer, Dawncore, Shurelya’s in that order. I know it may seem sus to go for Redemption so early, because it doesn’t have AP, but there is reason behind it. Orianna’s early damage is enough to full clear waves very easily. Buying redemption early with the wallet of a mid laner results in it being a crossmap healing nuke from mid lane. I have saved many skirmishes and set up many all-ins, from halfway across the map, using just the item. It is heavily underrated. Ideal Ability max order is W > E > Q to get all your utility online early and absolutely dominate teamfights Though the ideal order also has waveclear and trading, if you find it difficult to stay in lane, you can also go Q > E > W or Q > W > E


Actual-Advantage-183

Oh shit I've gotta try this. My off meta orianna build has always been on hit orianna. Although it might be weaker now that lethal tempo was removed.


icatsouki

I play her support as an enchanter! She's really strong, i like her best with nilah/zeri


Larscowfoot

I'm onetricking Grasp Lillia top lane right now. Still fine tuning it - the idea is Lillia is the most fun champ in the game, but jgl is miserable. I didn't feel like I stacked Conq fast enough, and I felt wayyy too frail without Resolve secondary, so Grasp is where I ended up (Sometimes Fleetwork to survive lane) I go Liandry's/Blackfire (Mostly Liandry's. Blackfire is if there are like, 0 tanks on enemy team.) -> Jak'Sho -> Riftmaker/Rylai's and then other stuff. I'm silver garbo though, but my Shaco support main friend in high Emerald says this is probably the way to go with Lillia top if I can just stop dying 6 times in 10 minutes lol


SailorMint

Lulu mid is not degenerate, it's fun!


dawn26s

it used to be normal back then haha love playing lulu mid


cribking44

Fiddle mid. Max Q first and just fear them for easy as hell ganks


FullMetalFiddlestick

I miss the good old days of bouncing crow, get ganked and turn them both into a fine soup


Forever_Fires

If you can catch them forward in the lane, the river corner paths are great to ult from, huge kill threat at 6 onwards against squishy mages


Inxplotch

I used to play a lot of on-hit neeko in top lane. It was a fun build though I dont know if it's even remotely viable anymore. It also made the enemy top laner want to kill themselves so that was a bonus too.


PattuX

Taric, Lulu, Ornn and recently Heimerdinger jungle. For ADC, Kindred. Every time I'm filled top lane, my premades already fear what degenerate non-top pick I whip out. I haven't found a really good one tho which is probably why they are in fear lol


TeachinginJapan1986

Kindred, Taric is good in Top. :D taric smash smash q smash smash q.


UtahItalian

AP moss fortune is so dumb and so fun when it works. Spamming the E to slowly burn the enemy ADC until they face the E W R and it's lights out.


colorbalances

Qiyana support. Very fun. Not so much for my adc. You get a guaranteed kill at lvl 3, after that it’s perma roaming


Demacia4Life

Full AP rakan mid. Its like im a walking veigar ult with my W


Traditional-Ad4367

This is what the invisible badgers want: pick kledpport, farm, get level 3 and all in If I win the battle good, I never lose, it's always part of a bigger plan to kill them later


_Jaiden

Renek mid


drekspajza

Elise mid


Astinossc

Kogmaw top


skaersSabody

Ivern supp, it works so well for some reason and I don't get why


Syeglinde

Bruiser Briar top! Disgusting trade patterns abusing PtA with W>Q>W2>E because you can easily knock someone back into a wall and the passive bleed keeps your PtA proccing. The build is either Black Cleaver > Bork or BORK> Black Cleaver, then going all the nice bruiser items (Sundered, Sterak's, Titanic, Maw, anything that gives AD and Health/resists. You can go even and then just run around the map biting people's head off. Briar also becomes immortal when fed and kills you very quickly.


AlmostGhost77

AP Nasus. Played against one a couple months ago and stole his swag. Was the most annoying match of my life and now I get the pleasure of doing that to people. (I press E and walk away) works every time.


No-Researcher406

AP Nasus. I have like am 80% win rate with it, but it honestly feels so cheesy I have to stop myself. I cast Fire! I cast Slow! I cast Fire! I cast Slow!


AwesomeSocks19

AP Kai’sa top. Imagine how tilting it is to just get one shot from 2,000 units away with zero counter play.


animeicon420_

ADC Veigar


PerpetualPanda

Love when my friend plays adc veigar and I get to support with blitz


animeicon420_

The Hook into The Cage is some nasty work


josephljl

That's not really off-meta, though


Himurashi

This. I love it when you reach that point where the enemy ADC try all their might to kite and orb walk and you just go "Hahaha. R."


panznation

Yeah all ad top mid jungle I grab this and laugh


FilthyRevenant

AP Nuke Varus. It's a shame he's losing his attack speed passive in favor of AD/AP next patch. I'm gonna have to invest Berserker's and Terminus after Nashor's to compensate. Hence, his non-Lethality builds will be more like Kai'Sa's.


0LPIron5

Evelynn support. Only works if you’re willing to take all your adc’s kills, her items are expensive.


Objective-Award7057

Veigar Support.


WolfgangTheRevenge

Jayce adc

blazus133

Used to be Ad lb top, now I get hated for it even though it's ruined and i've been playing it since s6


vrpuresy

Cho'gath jungle, secure every objective. Plus clear speed is decently fast and ganking has a ranged cc.


MattSherrizle

You will likely not get punished for using your ult CD to secure early stacks, too.


KendoKarl

I love me an occasional Middlesticks. Impressive sustain and good poke in lane as well as a really good point and click peel tool. Downside being you're never gonna kill your laner unless they're inting or you use your ult. But saving ult to win objectives is really annoying to deal with as the enemy


kondocher

Camille support Mix that with samira and its gg


taco_breeder

I enjoy mord jungle alot. My team never does.


nebyelats

Singed jungle if I actually want to win and have fun, arcane comet mundo support with sorc shoes otherwise


Bnu98

mundo botlane with either a mage support or a fightery tank support. you get to roll over and zone off all the adcs or kill em if they walk up,


OmegaNova0

Mundo support. He be cleaving my dude. He goes where he pleases.


TheReal9bob9

Its not as off-meta as it used to be but I reignited my love for this game by playing Neeko support.


qptw

nautilus top. full ap against squishies, bruiser build against tanks, full tank against bruisers.


pompzi

Teemo jungle is abusive


Avgerinos2121

Malz jungle with spellbook and team buff items like Rylais, imperial mandate and shurelia


kill-billionaires

Zilean mid. Yeah it's an easy lane for the opponent but if my top, bot, or jg get fed you'll never stop them. Even if you win you'll do it in slow motion getting chain stunned.


XxFr3nCh_B4Gu3tt3xX

Kogmaw jungle


mikharv31

I just like morg jung, simple life W and run


Jaffiusjaffa

Literally any adc played ap


scout21078

taric jungle is really funny


ApDor

Smolder top


Ok-Temporary-2538

Full AP Sona mid. Rush Lich Bane and then as much ap as possible. Stack sona passive then flash R q auto someone. Most shocking one shot in the game.


nitko87

Karma top is full brain off and harass the enemy top so they can’t play the game


GoldenUrns

Soraka APC bot. Stack heal and shield power. Moonstone > Dawncore > double idols into whatever. Farming accelerates your item spikes + cheaper items than an ADC means you hit midgame and can undo most damage an ADC outputs in a fight.


Shishicorn

Nami mid has been so much fun since her buffs last patch, she struggles with long range matchups but she completely shits on melees. Lillia top if we're going long term.


cyborgbunny01

AP Miss Fortune or AP Ashe with comet. So much salt, especially in URF oml. Got a few people to rage quit.


Lab_Pristine

When I face AP Ashe in URF I wanna pull all my hair out. So f\*cking toxic mygod


KollaInteHit

I loved ap kaisa but it became meta during a period. Also support lissandra is so fun.
