Well, hello time traveler.

Here's my two, quite uninformed, cents. To my mind, a solo ADC bot would be slightly unviable unless your new meta works and the other team does it as well. The general perception of why it doesn't work is because the meta IS duo bot. That guy's gonna get rolled. However, someone who can soak up the combined damage of a support AND ADC might do well. I'm thinking either a second traditional top laner goes bot or even a dedicated tank role.

But in other news, to me, the main thing about breaking the meta is that there are two outcomes. One, it doesn't work, and you never try it again. Or two, it DOES work, and it takes off. Yeah, for a while, you get your new OP strats to yourself, but eventually other people will start doing it, and then it IS the meta. And, let's be honest, if everyone's doing it, then it's no more OP than what they were doing before, because the only reason they're doing it is because it worked against the previous meta. But that's beside the point, because the sheep that comprise fifty(Conservative estimate.) percent of the players only do what the pros do. And unless you're Challenger, I doubt that will happen.

Just realized my first paragraph is pretty much what you said in your post, lol.
