I'm not really sure what answer you're looking for, but I can give you two examples of anti-meta champs:

Season 3: The Assassin Meta - in season 3 we got Zed and Kha'zix and classical midlaners got pushed out of the meta by assassins. These champs collapse on a high-value squishy, kill them, and get out. Champs like Zed, Fizz, Ahri, Kassadin and Kha'Zix have become really popular midlaners and they still are nowadays, although people are trying out new things. The popular assassin's got one hard counter in lane, although, and that's Kayle. Kayle has damage, she can chase and because assassins rely on burst she could block pretty much all damage with her ult. She also has waveclear so she doesn't easily get shoved out of lane and she can poke the assassins down since most of them are melee.

Season 4 (so far): the tank meta - Nowadays you'll pretty much only see Shyvana, Mundo and sometimes a Renekton in the competitive toplane. These champs are mobile, they get incredibly tanky, they have a tiny bit of cc and they'll still deal damage lategame. These champs are pretty much invurnerable lategame. That's why Trundle has become so popular. He's really good against the strongest tanks because he steals their stats and does pretty much the same as they do.
