Meta will exist so long as Riot continues balancing. The only reason it changes is because somethings become worse while other things become better and it happens every balance change. In fact, our popular use of the term meta is simply an abbreviation of metagame, and based on the definition of Metagaming, these number give a dynamic change to metagaming, so it never feels old.
