Which means, Pappus, that the "meta builds" are the "mech builds the current metagame encourages".
Thus its just shorthand.
Kinda like the term "meta" in the first place...

If you don't see how important the word metagaming is in that context it just means, that I lack the words to explain it to you.
Calling a mech a meta mech (which seems condescending in the first place) is just saying, that the bot builder adapted to the best of his abilities to what he thinks he will encounter most of the time.
It is a good thing, as long as the cycle of bringing "a" ... at some point "counter-a" makes "a" unviable so you proceed with "counter-counter a" never comes to a stop.
