Meta champions have a full kit, they can do everything better and easier then non meta picks, they have more damage, survivability, and require least ammount of skill. High elo meta whores dont play this champions because they are fun they do sobecause they are strong and they want to win at all costs but even they have spoken out about how shit some champions are that its almost a certain lost if you pick them.
PhDs Nuts19 votesMeta used to mean that the strongest champions were the strongest at their particular niche that was valuable for the playstyle at the time. Now it feels like it's just whichever Jack of all Trades has the highest numbers.
GayFluffyUnicorn17 votesThat's because this game is only and pretty much solely build around runes and items anymore. So the champs with the highest numbers (meta champs) are so overbearing OP since they just statcheck you to death. There is no balance in this game anymore. There is no early game or lategame or anything. Levels and base stats/kits don't mean shit anymore. It's a simple fighting game where you pick the highest number champ available or you lose.
Skill isn't existant in this game anymore.
DexterDougglas13 votesexcept that wasn't always the case with meta. Damage and mobility creep kill some champs completely for solo queue.
FireDrizzle10 votesYeah playing most off meta feels like playing with an arm tied behind your back.

Especially in jungle these days which wiped out a good 3/4 of good picks.

That would be... the entire point of Ranked. You play the best champion you can in the best position you can using the best methods and builds you can. You're not playing Ranked to have fun. If you want fun- you play Normals.

That's what it means to be meta- that's not something that happens because you're meta.

Shadow Gilgamesh1 votesAs a 
player I can ASSURE you that meta picks do not require "the least amount of skill", though it is bullshit that new champs have a tool for everything just so the player can always FEEL skillful.

So you are saying you can play the following and at least reach diamond?
Ap Kennan Jungle Ap Rumble Jungle ADC Ivern ADC Shaco
pixelvoxel1 votesI used to be in a Discord server with someone who managed to get 5 accounts to at least Plat playing Lee Sin in every role, one per account. I'd say at least two of those are probably possible but you'd either have to be exceptionally good and/or lucky or your champ has to be in a favorable position, which isn't likely for all four of them.
Pika Fox1 votesShaco support works, so adc shaco is likely fine if youre a 1 trick.
Rumble jungle was a tournament level pick, so yes.
Adc ivern falls under AP Garen.
If kennan can jungle decently enough a kennen 1 trick could at least get to plat.
