Early game laning isn't that varied.

Once that's over (past the the first fifteen minutes) team coordination takes over and teamfights, Baron standoffs and wider team strategies start taking effect and that's the most fun part of the game. And it doesn't even have to be between you and your champion. There's champion roles, item choices and runes/masteries to consider. The meta isn't set in stone as it's shown over the years and other metas like on the Chinese servers are different too.

There's also Riot's balance changes to consider. :p
