^ it isn't that the meta is bad. Because it isn't, there is a reason it is called a metagame.

The metagame right now does not promote singular builds because of the meta. It promotes certain placement of players and how they act in game (take towers fast, gain advantage through objective gold).

Builds themselves are a bit situational. Whether you take Wit's or Zephyr on irelia is mostly up to whether or not you feel like you have enough mr and if you see magic damage or physical damage as a threat in the game. Taking wits is when you need more mr, taking zephyr allows you to take tabi for physical damage.
