and start picking actual, viable team comps again?
I'm so fucking sick of this "Pick 5 squishy assassin carries and hope someone can put the team on their back" meta.
And then we have the AUDACITY to be like "Games are too snowbally these days"
ITS OUR FAULT!!!
No, we can't. Because despite what you seem to think it isn't a community issue, it's a 0 sum balance team issue. When you make an entire group of champions(assassins) who's sole job it is to 1 shot in a game that's designed in theory for counterplay what you effectively have is an impossible situation. You can't solve a problem by wishing it away which is what you're suggesting. The community has 0 control over the direction the "balance team" goes and since the "balance team" can't tell which way is up, let alone actually get any sort of balance right. We're stuck with a game that will progressively get shittier until it falls apart completely.

I understand your viewpoint and I support the same ideology, but I'm afraid you are fighting against windmills.
Of course everyone will play the stuff that works the best. That's what meta means haha
it literally can't happen until we address skillgaps in the community.
This is not a community issue, its a balance issue. Why play so or so champions, when this champion is just better in almost every situation. Thats where we are at right now. The "meta" has become who can 1-shot the fastest and most efficiently or who can do the most damage to the most targets. Those champions are mostly assassins like Kha, Rengar, Eve, Qiyana, and Pyke. They not only 1-shot most champions instantly but they can kill multiple champions at once by themselves and are incredibly hard to pin down or peel against. So again, why pick a mage that has to land skillshots when you can jump in insta-kill the carry in 0.1 second, and then kill anyone who chases you. The other problem champions are like Yasuo, AP Malphite, Draven, Sylas, Fiora, Riven. Who do a shit ton of damage, but are also incredibly difficult to kill which gives them an advantage over a champion that is only one of those things.
Its a lot itemization, but also individual champion balance. Champions like Pyke who see no nerfs for months despite being pick/ban, are overtuned and have ridiculous damage numbers.
Sure it would be nice if everyone just agreed not to play the clearly broken champs, but this is a competitive game and thats totally unrealistic. They need to balance the game properly and move away from the 1-shot meta they have now.

game is for 'casuals' - not 'players'
All I play are tanks and juggernauts and still find the lack of defensive options disturbing. Champs that typically stack health and resists don't feel very rewarding to play, which is why most people lock in squishy bullshit, then start flaming once they inevitably lose any semblance of control over the game.
Are you telling me to play Nasus tank support?
I'll do it, don't tempt me.
Edit: Actually I'm going to try it next game. The absurd slow, the e poke, and I can stax with relic shield? Lets go!
I don't really care about what your post was about tbh, but I gave you a like because of the title of the post.
Again? LOL Again
