You clearly did not understand the idea of meta.

My personal experience that all those "I hate (the idea of) meta"-guys will not change their point of view anyway, no matter what you do, but give me a shot at it.

Meta has two basic ideas. The first one is maximizing effectiveness. The more a game is balanced, the more likely it is to evolve a meta. Look at chess, it practically only consists of Meta, and chess is arguably the most balanced game in existence. As soon as the game can have a winner, a meta will evolve. So, even if you would destroy the entire meta, a new one would evolve. Thats how ALL games work. Every game on earth will evolve a meta as long as a human being can influence its outcome.

Second basic idea is that you want to make it possible to play the game in an organized way. Imagine the meta was gone. What a horrible mess would every game be? Counterpicking, and the whole idea of Draft would simply vanish, because everyone would go everywhere. Imagine, 10 people joining a game lobby, and everyone has a different idea of what setup they want to play in, but they got only roughly 3 minutes to forge a strategy? And the strategy they forge can not even adapt to the enemy team, because they will also have an unknow strategy (if they manage to set one up in 3 minutes). Believe me, if lol did not have a meta, it would not be a place you like to be in.

You wont change your opinion anyway, just because you desperately want to stand out by not enjoying the meta, but i said my phrases anyway, maybe you're the first one of them who starts getting rational. cheers.
