I think replacing warriors with something that's isn't great against solo units will kinda break the meta in a bad way.

I disagree. Warriors is a very small part of the meta and it's not like people don't build solo units b/c they are afraid of warriors. If you get goblin alch you better believe you gonna build it and early wisp to boot. Fat chance you see someone not do it or overbuild.

I also find the warriors seat in the meta to be quite stale. It takes almost no skill to pull off a warrior send, it only matters on the first wave, it does not have any bearing on what they built only on what your team has. As such, I would gladly see warrior meta die in exchange for some new metas.

Also if you felt it was a necessity to have a unit that excels at killing solo towers, the Kobold Spearman could have a 2nd ability which gives it some extra damage when facing off against one enemy alone, like Spectre's Desolate passive in DotA.
