pro player played AP Yi in a stream, then suddenly we had the AP Yi epidemic happen, one odd pick and the meta changed, then Riot killed it because it was honestly the easiest pentakills gotten since release Tryndamere and release Darius.

While this is not normal for how the meta changes, it CAN happen, and regardless I never said that the meta was dumb, or a bad thing, just people that treat it like the only option are annoying when you like playing strange things, which are not always worse than something else as your wording would imply, sometimes a srange pick will counter better than a more typical pick.
