That's not how reality works. The current meta has been around for years, because people settle into what they find comfortable. It's also thankfully what allows the broadest amount of choices. When they try to fuck with the meta you get shit like how toxic quin was because they wanted adc's in midlane and top or how binary the previous mordekaiser was when they wanted to stick him in bot.

THAT'S them trying to force metas, and if anything, pyke is evidence of them trying to widen role types for bot lane considering his playstyle is skirmisher and assassin. It also causes issues because it opens up shit like full assassin or engage teams that completely screw scaling champions because they don't get to. And in some circumstances some counters are too hard to allow and they get nerfed until they function within their playspace without screwing over the others. Besides, his scaling is weird but he seems to do fine within his niche.

Let's say they hypothetically make a champion who's made to fit in botlane, but simultaneously eliminates the eligibility of every previous comp for botlane - how do you think they're going to balance it? Redo every champion or nerf this one? Forced meta my bearded, pimpled left ass cheek.
