#off meta

[hun9rybug]

There's a lot of speculation about what the everyman (UT/DR) is and represents but am I insane for thinking it's just a reference to Japhet (OFF) and nothing else

I'm not going back to tiktok just on principal.

I love off meta picks more than anyone, but imagine being filled into ADC and picking Lulu. Most tilting game of my life.

Another odd OFF thought:

Hugo's presented as the guardian of "meat", if memory serves, but since OFF is all about perspective, then couldn't Hugo's "title" also be interpreted as referencing the fact that he's the last human individual? He's not a fabrication, he's not an animal, he's just a living person.

OFF TOMORROW

[leagueoflegends-confessions]

Way back in the day when I was a fledgling League player, I used to play Caitlyn top. Okay, a little off-meta, but nothing unusual, right? Here's the kicker: I built her full cooldown reduction. With the standard resolve rune page.*CRINGE*.

I love playing off meta champs especially in top lane like Yi, Warwick, Aphelios, and Senna to name a few, but without fail no matter how well I've done with them in the past and no matter how many times I ace the enemy team or objectives I get. the one time I get a bad matchup, get camped or otherwise not do well is when everyone people wants to talk in chat. What worse is that even if I catch up I'm still the bad guy.

The thing that humors me most about Xayah and Rakan being ADC and support respectively is that Xayah is one of my favorite off-meta supports. You thought you were safe by banning Rakan? You aren't. You thought it was going to be a Xayah and Rakan duo? It isn't! It is Caitlyn and Xayah!
