Trolling has strayed so far from its original meaning that it's hard to actually determine what it means anymore. If you're talking about trolling in its original meaning, it just means doing something negative deliberately in order to anger others. Going AP Soraka because you actually enjoy playing that way and believe it's viable is not at all trolling, it's just going against the meta.

So no, going against the meta isn't trolling. Those dudes you played with were just little kids who need to get off the internet until they learn to control their tempers.
