Meta Maggot

A term used typically in a video game toward players who firmly believe that it's only necessary to use Characters or strategies that are "popular", "high tier", or simply put, "meta". In most cases, Meta Maggots Disparage players who prefer less popular strategies who take a more unique approach to games, or otherwise, purely for enjoyment.
Being a Meta Maggot is commonly mistaken as a skilled player, but rather a player who is copying another player's successful strategies, allowing the meta maggot player to appear skilled for copying the strategy of a skilled player.

"Can you please stop being a meta maggot for once, and actually think for yourself? You might enjoy the game more."
