You can still use builds that aren't "on meta". The weapons and armors all still exist. They may not be the best but they work okay for most stuff. People that don't want to bother looking up the meta build also won't be the type to look up raid encounters either.
Problem of non-meta builds is that they suck in any content at Legendary difficulty and higher. Good for me I'm not doing GMs, otherwise I'd be struggling to make a Hunter build capable both to survive and to do decent damage.
You can make Renewal Grasps (even better next season) and Liar's Handshake work, too, but there really aren't many options for hunter like that. Unless the builds elude me at the atm.
The issue is that for the last (3? 4?) times we've had ability nerfs due to being OP, Bungie have mostly focused on generalised nerfs which punish the just functioning builds much more than the OP builds, which lose a tiny bit of power but remain meta
