Amusingly, there are a good number of situations where if you're careful about what you do, ditching the meta can be surprisingly effective. I've seen a few games where swapping top and bot works because the ADC can kite the melee top they're up against, and the bruiser gets to do ridiculous bursts on the squishies in bot lane. Darius/Nami bot lane can be kind of glorious, depending on laning opponents.

Two junglers also works quite well if the other team has a jungler. One's a conventional jungler, the other's a counterjungler, and everyone gets their own lane, so to speak.

Supports in mid, depending on the support, can be nice. They offer more team utility than your usual mid, and they don't have THAT much of a drop off in power.

I sometimes go Lux/Morgana bot lane with a friend. We have this fun little thing where we mirror each other's spell rotations, and it's basically move-or-die, except you can't move.

So yeah, sometimes the meta can be abused. It's kind of hilarious to do so. Just gotta know how.
