Well, the meta is there for a reason, but if you switch roles FOR A REASON, you can make really good plays. For exemple, you should not pick Garen as a carry, because you would probably find yourself against ranged champions who harass you too much. On the other side, you could use lux ap carry bot with soraka to reduce MR of enemy champs while using cait mid thanks to her range and so on.

I once played a good ranked game going janna top (because of a stupid teammate who locked a support while I had already picked her and called for support role). Thanks to good wave clear and nice harass I had an easy time. Sure, I could not outright kill the enemy kyle, but I defended my lane and had a great impact late game, bringing huge heals and shields and nice aoe damage to the team.
