Another definition refers to the game universe outside of the game itself." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metagaming I believe both of our definitions are correct, but, please, hate as you will. On the topic of metagame/metagaming, Chill wrote a giant post about it before, because he was mad: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=130447 The only time I use the word metagame in a game of League, is when I first/second pick (before the enemy has picked a mid-laner) Kassadin for fun, and the enemy team sends a squishy AP mid instead of counter-picking, because it's the standard lane set-up. Then, as I get horribly fed, every time I kill the enemy, I yell 'METAGAME' (even though I'm misusing the word) into all-chat. That's about the only trolling I do, too. :3 | ||

Not playing within the meta also has some consequences. Because there is a jungler in LoL, you can break lane counters by picking a ganking jungler and actively ganking. | ||
