What is an off-meta pick that you think could work if Challenger/pro level players explored it? (self.leagueoflegends)

Asking because I think League's biggest problem is that competitive play is dominated by a small handful of champions with nobody willing to explore alternative picks.

When I'm trying off meta picks I often look at disruptive picks from the past and see why what they exploited and can they still exploit that today. Eg voyboys naut top from s2 cool pick but I don't think it works anymore because it doesn't do enough damage. Zac top from s3. Corki adc probably still works. Kha mid? Riven mid? Olaf mid? 2v1 bot lane and have support roam with jg early?

All interesting strats and I think people could pull them off just because everyone is so stiff and unflexible in how they play.
