The smartest thing RIOT ever did was label balance issues as the term "meta"
That's all the meta basically is. Whoever is the most favorably unbalanced at the time due to a lack of foresight by riot or intentionally to "keep the game fresh". If we simply started to label these issues as "balance problems," it would showcase that these changes aren't welcome by the majority. Then, people would have better experiences and the boards would be full of more creative and fun additions than the complaint-fest it has been all season.
I don't want to call the next few patches "the dueling jungle meta." I've already had to call season 8 the "mac crashing era" and if I have to play through any more metas this year I'm going to flip out.
meta will be most balanced.
