Metas are not inducive to fun
The meta evolves with what's strongest at the moment. AKA: Play this or you lose. I'm tired of seeing Jinx all the time. I'm tired of getting 100-0 by tanks with one or no damage items. It's not fun.

Pray tell what can be done to stop this then?
Well, counter the meta, then. If you're sick of tanks, play tank busters.
etc.
But I do agree that playing by the meta is not fun. I almost always try to try new things (and probably won't start playing ranked for a while), and meta doesn't help with that.
And that's why perfect imbalance exists, and why Riot continually, constantly tweaks everything.
You do realize that the meta is just what evolved because that's what works best, right? There are ways to break the meta that are legitimate, though you have to plan for it since you're one person trying to take down years of evolved/emergent gameplay.
