I'll put it in concrete terms. Say you're in a game, and your champion pool is Ashe and Jinx. If the other picks Twitch, no matter who you pick, you're going to be in an unfavorable matchup, statistically speaking (i hedge like this bc maybe there's a reliable counterplay to twitch as ashe that the average player just knows nothing about). He'll have the edge on you by at least 3.7%.
Adding MF to your champion pool gives you an out - you can pick her when your opponent picks Twitch, and the matchup will be be pretty much even. Beyond that, though, you'll have her as an option in other matchups that would be tough for both Ashe AND Jinx. For example, they both suffer against Draven nearly as much as they do against Twitch. But MF matches Draven okay in the same way she matches Twitch okay. Ultimately, once you have MF in your champion pool, the worst case scenario is that your opponent picks MF. You won't be able to pick MF in turn, and the best option of Jinx/Ashe only has a matchup winrate of around 48.5% against her.
Get it?
I'll try working on explanations later.You can't step in the same river twice.-

this is out of date but i feel like it has more to do with overall champion power than how they plug into the meta

related: has anyone managed to fix the one key lee sin ward hop hotkey in the config file? it broke for me last year and i've gone through a painstaking process to fix it and have been unable to. at least there's practice mode now if i ever wanted to stop being bad at lee but losing that alone severely hit my performance with him.
also i just logged in and received what seems like an honor summoner icon (has the legacy 4 honor icons). still only at honor 4 at the moment.
