The meta is only here as it is a superb tactic. If someone finds out a way to counter this meta hard, people will get some tactic ones again. But this meta is strong, I mean, come on. Solotop is the bruiser/tank, getting lots of levels and items to built tanky and damaging, which they need, also top can escape ganks easier than ap carry's, so they go top. ap carry is mid as they also need levels to deal damage, jungler to have second bruiser who helps to balance other lanes, adc bot as the adc only needs gold, not exp. If adc goes top he gets levels, but most certainly loose against the bruiser, especcially malphite -_-. support is bot as support doesn't really needs levels that bad and the adc needs help to perform.

It's obvious, isn't?
