Thoughts on this strategy?

What about letting one of the bot laners take blue buff from the first jungle to try and get an early FB on the enemy lane? Would work best with CC supports, like a Leona. Haven't tried this yet, but interested in getting some thoughts on if the tradeoff of putting your jungler behind early is worth the potential for early FB and lane pressure on bot.

Whats Blue going to do for the adc for first blood except give level advantage and "spam" abilities? The enemy bot lane would just play safe when they see that. JG early lvl 2 gank would be a better alternative.

Never worth. Puts your jungler disgustingly behind, and also puts you the laner behind.

Why?

Jungler will not get level one off first camp and is now at 50-75 percent health, still level one and has to clear his next camp on his own, this puts him easily 1 minute behind in pace compared to the enemy jungler sometimes more.

You as the laner- You had to finish the blue buff yourself, and probably took a few autos from the blue buff, and you are now late to get into lane, you missed out on creep experience and the opportunity to pressure the enemy laner. They will now have a exp, a minion lead, and a pressure lead on you. Even if you are the support it is not worth for you are asking the adc to be by themselves for dangerous critical moments of the level one trades.
