The WEIRDEST Meta Champion Picks in League of Legends History

weekly uploads from a champion that one-hot your entire team to AP Ezreal mid with Smite okay these are my top three weirdest meta picks of all time in League of Legends history and also before we get into the list this is just a disclaimer this is my personal top three lists you guys can make your own top three and for this top three I only pick characters that I played against I'm not going to pick a twist of fate or even release zal cuz I wasn't there for that but I've been playing since season 2 so I've been through a lot of metas and I have dealt with a lot of [ __ ] that Ryan has thrown at me so without further Ado let's get into the list it's a Sit bag special I'll stting off this list got a man that's half man half machine is it Iron Man man shut the [ __ ] up we we in a League of Legends video the [ __ ] you talking about Iron Man the champion we talking about is tank Victor top and let me tell you guys something this Champion was a pure terrorist also another main reason why I picked full tank Victor was because I already created a montage for full tank Victor back in 2018 so if you guys want to check out that video just go ahead and click uh down the description you know what I'm saying but tank Victor basically played like normal Victor however he was way more durable and arguably he did even more damage because he was able to survive longer and be able to get more rotation his abilities off and the main reason he was playing top instead of mid was because of a little Rune called kleptomancy obviously it's not in the game anymore but back in the day kleptomancy gave you gold and items depending on if you hit your enemy opponent and it's way easier to hit your opponent Top Lane cuz usually melees play Top Lane so he was able to abuse CL man against the melees who played topling also ktoy was perfect for Victor's trade pattern because after you Quee you get an enhanced Auto so he was literally incentivized to Auto the enemy to stack his kleptomancy and the main reason why tank Victor was good was because he had really good base damages over season 8 Riot was buffing his base damages and on top of that there was really good tank items back in season 8 for him especially iceborn Gauntlet which he abused heavily because basically Victor was already fast with this Q after you evolved it and then now after you q auto your enemy it slows them so Victor's fast and you're slow and he's running laps around your [ __ ] ass glor I think we could all agree it's never good when a champion is impossible to hit but they could hit you sir sir oh sorry got the sniffles but back to Victor his fun lasted for a couple patches until he started getting Nerfs on patch 8.22 and then another Nerf to his base damages on 8.24 basically turning him back to a AP champion because Riot buffed his AP ratios so that people can leave those poor top laners alone and go back to playing AP Victor and most importantly going back to Mid l oh damn it seems like you guys are enjoying this video and you're not even subscribed man you weird man I'm just saying it'll be pretty cool if you subscribe you know what I'm saying man just right there just subscribe man what the [ __ ] and at the number two spot we got Riot's poster boy since season 1 Ezreal and not just normal Ezreal we got AP Ezreal mid with Smite this is one of the often forgotten meta that existed back in the day mainly because it only lasted about a month this pick was just straight nasty work and there's a great YouTuber called Exile who has already done a full comprehensive video on this pig so I won't go too in depth I'm going to include the link to his video down in the description box down below if you guys want to watch it out now you might be wondering why the [ __ ] was people playing AP Ezreal mid the simple answer to that is R glave it was a new AP jungle item that Ry introduced halfway through season 5 that replaced another one and this item was pretty good with certain AP champions in the jungle because it used Sheen and depending on if you Auto or not it might be a very useful item or a very useless item like Fiddlesticks fil couldn't [ __ ] really use it cuz he didn't really want to Auto attack but the one person that also likes to Auto attack was AP Ezreal and because run glaive was really good on Ezreal and you had to have Smite to buy R glaive that's how AP Ezreal Smite was born and the main reason why run glaive was such a good item on Ezreal was because it was an insanely cheap Sheen item and because Ezreal loves Billy Trini forest and even the old Essence Reaver that had the sheen it's because it procs on your queue however R glaive only costed 1,625 gold so why the [ __ ] when I build all these other items when I can get the same amount of value in only 1,625 gold and the most important part of room glaive it converted some of your physical damage into magic damage and what that did is that it basically turned ezreal's attire kit to Magic damage so now you're able to build magic penetration even more effectively making him into a monster into the mided lake game you'll basically blow up your entire team with his kit by throwing his alt t w and Q and also keep in mind his W is not his current W that it is now his W back in the day was was a AOE damaging spell so it's a fat AOE it's basically like it's q but it hit everybody and it was on a fat 90% AP ratio basically had the full safety of Ezreal being able to dash away but he had the damage and the burst power and the AOE of like a zra and like I stated before it only lasted a month because backto back patches it got nerfed and especially the biggest part that they removed the conversion from ad to AP magic damage so basically making the item not that efficient on Ezreal anymore causing ezreal's reign of terror to end and that's why he's number two on this list okay now at the number one spot this pick holds a special place in my heart because this Champion was one of my first Mains and back in season 2 and three I wasn't the best player actually I was I I I was in bronze 5 yeah yeah I I was always in the bottom rank of bronze 5 this Champion helped me get all the way to Silver back in season 3 that is the wuu master himself AP Master ye now let me tell you guys with ap Master ye this Champion was simply different this version of AP Mas lasted from season 1 all the way until uh the Midway season 3 on patch 3.10 where Mas got his entire visual update where he is basically the same Champion that he was all the way back in season 3 however they've taken away most of his AP ratios so that AP Mastery can never be a thing you can still build it but it's not going to be very good and during the entire time from season 1 to three he only got nerfed once and that one Nerf was on patch 3.01 and it was on his W where they turned his AP ratio from 400% yeah you heard that right 400 [ __ ] per all the way down to 200% still a big ass ratio but a lot better than it was before and during this time AP and ad was practically being played the same amount it was that you're either getting your ass beat by ad attack speed master E from the jungle or you're getting molested by AP master in the mid lane get him up let him get up let him get up let him get up it was either pick or poison and for AP Master it was mostly played in the mid lane he played kind of like Katarina where he wasn't the strongest early however if you waited until you got one or two items I'm telling you you were going to be in big big trouble cuz he's going to be Penta killing your entire team over and over and over and over again also I forgot to mention that kerina didn't have a 400% w heal where you get full HP during the laning phase you can't even poke out AP Master E and he was able to poke you by Alpha striking the minions and he would be able to get the wave as well as hit you at the same time it wasn't a good experience for the enemy team however he did obviously have his counter if you were able to onot him before a team fight then you were able to be safe however if mashi got one single kill it's pretty much GG there's no way out of this one you're done he coming for that ass and AP Master E wasn't even a big secret it even got pulled out in Pro play by an old player named Alex itch especially for you oldheads you guys will know who Alex itch is he was on the Moscow 5 and he pulled it out in a game against curse and the ie pl5 Las Vegas and that happened around season 2 or season 3 I didn't really check the date for it and Alex it got a pensac kill on AP Master E against team curse and if you guys don't know team curse turned into Team Liquid later down the line simpler days rest easy King you are definitely worthy of the number one spot thank you for watching my video guys if you made it all the way to the end make sure you hit the like And subscribe button honestly I didn't think I would go 10 minutes yapping
