That's fine but the problem is that more and more people want to force you into playing as if you're on a grand final... in a random multiplayer queue with only a hint of a hidden rating.
People want to win every match and disallow experimentation to not endanger their record.
Natural result: a certain kind of people leave and find alternatives and never come back. Like yours truly here.
I don't think necessarily you have to follow the meta. But it's like best practices. Better stay within them when you are playing with a completely new team.
There's other game modes in all those games to try wacky stuff and/or play just for fun it's unranked/casual and custom game modes.
You wouldn't sign up for a ranked league in real life to just mess around. It would be disrespectful to your teammates and you would rightly get kicked.
