lane swop is destroying the fun in LCS

watching both team trading top/bot secondary tower without any action is very boring. watching 20 minutes of farming and 1 teamfight means inhib + baron then a final push to the nexus is boring, watching a single wave of superminion chunking a nexus tower to half hp is boring.

LCS is not fun to watch anymore, no more standard lane, no more in lane trades, no more outplays, just a farm fest and stat war.

i disagree. Laneswap is one of the best things about LCS. Makes the game very interesting. Without lane swaps you just have a boring lane vs lane game where picks and bans then become far too limited and champion diversity suffers.

agree. laneswap is boring af to watch. they could save an hour per day and just start the teams out with their top tier one down and the enemy bot tier one down

I love how people always include the "20 minutes of farm." You know what that is? Standard lanes. They get the towers and then they move back to their normal laning with some extra gold and map control on one side. Hell, there are literally no changes for the mid lane. If it's that boring, then literally everything in the early game is boring for you.

When you add breaks, analysts desk, commentators, champ select then 14-20 minutes of pve during lane swaps it is extraordinarily boring to watch. I understand what people are saying about it adding strategic depth, but there has to be a better way. They need more incentives for early game skirmishes not having every person avoid their counterpart as if they have a disease.

1 wave of super minions kills a whole nexus tower not just a half.

but riot already got a great idea how to deal with "lcs being boring" in summer split they stream 2 games at the same time so you can only watch 1. so they made the games 50% less boring.

"we at riotgames have fun" :DDDDDDDD

I would rather see standard lanes with action than lame lane swaps while nothing happends for 20 mins. I stop watching LCS this year bc of that.
