Riot, I have a serious question about off meta and banning

Let me quote some things Wookie said first:

> {quoted}

• Q: Can I get banned for choosing a champion or strategy that is outside the current meta?

• A: 100% no. Choosing a champion or strategy outside of the current meta is not a factor we take into account when reviewing accounts. On any given day tens of thousands of players are making unusual picks in the game and they’ll never receive penalties in any form.

• “...common sense and good sportsmanship say that experimenting players need to clearly communicate intent and win conditions to their teammates.”

• All of us need to be aware of the difference of communicating “with” someone vs. communicating “at” someone. Telling your team what you’re going to do and then ignoring them isn’t really working with them it’s holding them hostage. Telling your team what you want to do and actually working towards a common plan is a central part to playing any team based game.

• The message was pretty clear to us, this player is serious about_ Making Nunu Great Again_ but they are leaving a trail of dissatisfaction, frustration, and anger in their wake.

• If a player is consistently forcing “their vision” on the rest of the team **and **refusing to adapt to their needs we reserve the right to intervene.

If off meta is allowed, and a player clearly communicated what they would be playing and doing in champ select, who gets to decide whether that player can go through with their pick?

How to compromise? There's no middle ground here. You either pick an off meta champion or a meta champion. A lot of Wookie's comments implied that the player should adapt to their team, which means that their pick needs to be a meta pick. If this becomes a majority rules situation, then why is off meta allowed at all?

I'd like a more thorough explanation on how to avoid player negativity/getting banned while still playing an off meta champ. How about when I'm playing an off meta role?

Edit: Why is a question being downvoted?
