I totally agree with this. The current meta is technically the most effective way of building a team comp, but much more significantly it provides a framework for total strangers to work as a team in solo queue. To be honest I'm kinda disappointed by how rarely the top teams break meta in big tournaments. You'd think they'd come up with something good considering how much time they spend practicing together.
