It's been almost a decade. Introduce camera flip.
Red side laning fucking sucks. What's so difficult about flipping the camera so both sides have identical playing conditions?

Because the map wasn't designed to be viewed that way. At least that's what I heard was the reason.
The map is not symmetrical, don't think it is physically possible to do this.
I completely agree red side laning sucks. It's because of the camera angle. A while back (around season 2-3) I asked the Boards if there could be a way to switch the camera angle. The response I got by the community was something about so many graphics issues that would be difficult to manage--you'd have to change the orientation of the Baron, the Drake, etc.. Blue side is "easier" because they have the Drake, but red gets Baron, and Riot's justification is that Baron is harder to kill. So, for matchmaking purposes, supposedly if you're on red side, you are being challenged by lower MMR blue.
But what do I know?
The good news is that with laning phase only lasting 6 minutes now, you don't have to worry about the camera angle too much.
