Watching others better than you may help you develop it however, relying too much on other’s perception of meta will dull your own perception of meta as well as your ability to adapt on your own whims. Your own ‘meta’ or, rather, your own perception is your own ‘meta’ and how you develop it is fully up to you. Often times ‘meta’ by the masses is what they think players better than them are doing while this isn’t exactly wrong, it is the perception of what’s best that would better define meta. This is only part of what meta actually is and it would be foolish to think that’s all there is to ‘meta’ strategies. Often these days ‘meta’ is used for ‘what’s the best way I can quickly disable/dismantle my opponent and win’ Expect nothing of meta, only that it is simply a term to be used for whatever appears to be the best action or reaction at the time as well as to know your options available regardless of civ or opponent’s civ. Meta fluctuates, it is never stable, and whoever might become the most flexible with the quickest and/or most sensible actions and reactions may become the most able to force a ‘meta’ upon the opponent. Basically it’s about what players ‘percieve’ as what they consider to be the most optimal play style/micro/composition/tactics/etc for whatever may either push the enemy into a corner the most effectively with the least losses or to react to whatever the opponent is dishing out in the most optimal way perceivable.
