I never implied breaking the meta, simply getting flamed for what people assume is going against the meta, yes I build more like a bruiser when I go as an adc top lane, because a normal squishy top laner is suicide, plain and simple, but at the end of the day, I'm still a ranged carry, just a bit more difficult to kill than usual, for example, my top lane corki compared to adc corki: same skill order to level  (roughly, I don't always level everything exactly the same) the only difference is roughly 2 items, if I am bot I get LW, because I don't want to get close enough for gattling gun to hit them, because more often than not, they can hit me too at that point. However top lane I get a black cleaver, less damage true, but more health, some sustainability to go along with the damage. the other changes can be simple, instead of say Trinity force, grab an iceborn gauntlet, it makes you harder to kill, but you still get good damage out of it, you are still a carry, just sturdier.

Technically, I am not building as a bruiser, just an adc that can take a bigger beating and come out alive, but still a ranged adc.

The strange champions in the jungle do the same thing they normally do essentially, they farm, get items, and try to kill people, only difference is, to try to kill people they get help, and the element of surprise.

As for playing weird champions mid lane? Well..... actually you got me there, you have to have magic damage from somewhere, and a lot of AP top laners aren't as good, though I did try Ryze top once and it worked fairly well.
