Like with the common saying 'Rules are meant to be broken' there's a certain presentiment that feels like the meta is meant to broken and change rapidly.

How do I explain this? The argument where the 'meta' is what seems to work at a given time usually holds, but it feels like it's meant to be a promotion for something else to pop up.

For example, Twitch wasn't a very common pick in the LCS. However, many factors brought rise to him to make him the 'meta' now. This included the fall of Draven, the downplay of Runic Bulwark, the prevalence of "Early Game > Late Game".

I constantly look for holes where I can exploit things that work 'against' the current meta and take advantage of it but some things just don't work that some people try and push for the sake of being 'anti-meta' - there are still limitations, AP Caitlyn will not work no matter how many times you try and slap an argument in.
