But I was actually interested in discussing the bastardized meaning of flexpick from something purely about mutliple lane ability to something meaning more along the lines of a highly adaptable pick :/

For example, Lissandra can go top or mid, but nothing about her functionality would change due to that lane change. You would still pick her for the exact same reason, so is it really the pick being flexible, or rather just the pick being moved to a different lane for the sake of a specific strategy that requires her strength.

Compared to someone like Varus, who can go mid or adc, but if you take him mid, you build specifically for poke, rather than any real auto attacking...then again, he hasn't been built straight adc for a long time, but it's the thought that counts. Point is, he can heavily change his playstyle in line with the lane, or even his entire style in general, just through different itemization. In my opinion, that's a far better definition of a flex pick.

Although that would put someone like Ahri in a weird place on the spectrum, since she can also quite easily fit different items into her builds that drastically change the use you get out of her, but even without items, she herself is extremely adaptable due to the kit.
