some times its hard to figure out if off meta works,, i mean you can bully lane ( like i do with top lulu vs like dar//riv,,)
but then the meta champ gets 1-2 ganks,, you get zero help cause your off meta,.,.then it all goes to crap and your the games bitch..
so it seems to me that no pick matters,, only thing that matters in top lane is what jg gets drags,, what jg gets kills top//plates//tower...
