Off-meta banning: Reason for concern?

I have been scrolling the boards, and have been seeing some worrying posts (i.e. Diamond player getting banned for playing ADC Darius , Nunu or Ivern support, etc.) Is WookieeCookie just saying, "Oh, would you look that, a off-meta player that actually has a winning strategy. Time for a ban!" Is there nothing we can do about this? Are we doomed to get banned from just playing off-meta champions? Perhaps. I'm honestly not sure how to feel about this, as yes, those builds can be annoying, but it IS a winning strategy that seems to work and even get people up to Diamond. But, of course, I want your opinions out of curiosity. We all most likely have different opinions.

I miss option 4: Getting sick and tired of hundreds of topics about the same damn subject. I need a forum break.

I am okay with this AS LONG AS the whole team is okay with it

Man did Riot step in it with this decision. Honest to god, I don't understand why they don't put someone that's client-facing in the room when they make these calls.

Everyone thinks the softer sciences are fluffy and useless until it starts costing them money and bad press.

If my teammates can win with those off meta picks/strategies, I'm perfectly fine with it.
