Imagine if health pots are removed
Including things like refillable and corrupting.
How do you think the meta would be affected?

goodbye weak laners and anyone with no sustain
Prob some health regen, spell vamp, lifesteal to start a bit from now on.
He'll vanish 
Well for one thing champions that are supposed to be weak early will ACTUALLY be weak early for once
Only a handful of champions would be viable
Champions with built-in sustain would dominate the game.
Riot is completely overworked with the amount of balance changes they have to make.
If the potions are overtuned, then botlane will become a kill lane meta, whose main weakness is poke. If you remembered the days when relic shields were OP, you know that everyone resorted to tanks because they can do everything (including sustain), live longer, and have tough CC. Buffing the sustainability of botlane would only force supports to go "kill lane or bust".
If the potions are undertuned, then poke lanes would be a nightmare to deal with. With less sustainability at a time, poke lanes would have a much greater advantage.
And this is only botlane, but in a 1v1 situation the problems would be much more escalated.
Crappy predictions.
