Sounds like you are having an issue with Meta. A problem with the game being treated like a professional sport is sort a misnomer. Quite a lot of games have pro scene. I'm of course referring to things like Football and Baseball but it can also include things like Chess and Monopoly. Yes. Monopoly

The problem is certainly the Meta Dogma. Nothing you can really do about that to be quite honest. The people who don't know how to be clever or creative will play this game by the book (as the pros do) despite there being plenty of other viable options that are untested or against what the pros consider to be the best course of action.

I have a friend that insists on going anti meta but to be honest the best choice is to just gather the data for it and give it a go when allowed to. When you gather friends the option is much easier. And eventually we should get team builder which will make anti meta stuff a more seamless option.
