Basically the worse adc in the match up dies once or twice in lane, then winning one gets first tower gold, then the game is basically over.
Feels very bad to be solo laner/jungler and have the game decided entirely by how good the bot lane plays.
Too Ton4 votesGuess as a jungle you have to decide: 1. Can bot lane hold off so you can get 1 kill to snowball top lane for good? 2. You failed your bank top lane AND bot lane lost so you lost the game for your team gg
I Always Swallow2 votesjust play sivir and look at your elo go up by only pushing down the first tower and it's GG
420 grams2 votesYeah,the game is very snowbally right now,and then they added the tower bonus, and now it'll snowball even harder
Skias2 votesYeah, bottom lanes condition has warped the game into a mess. I'm actually shocked Riots balance team isn't super concerned about the incredibly bad season this has been.
Serpents Embrace1 votesI'd agree that bot lane is a mess at the moment, but I'd disagree it's about ADC match-ups. The extra focus on taking bot lane turret in recent patches has made 4 and 5 man ganks on bot lane more profitable and more common. Coupled with how powerful some early dragons can be...
Basically, everything is about bot lane right now. Top and mid's main contributions are how they help win bot, snowballing off their lane opponent only does anything if they can use it to do that.
DunkinNoobs1 votesI mean, you could just try not feeding 2v2.
zlumpy1 votesThey shoulda put the extra weak tower in top lane instead of bot lane.
DemainaNyx1 votesI suspect it's in bot so if my bot lane wants to lane swap (like they do in pro play in like 80% of games) and they go to top, the enemy bot lane will have an easier time killing the tower because they are in the lane they were expected to go to.

That would end up having the same problem only with Australian lanes. In the pro scene, they use their strongest early game lane, (The Duo lane) to protect the weakest, or most important objective.
If Riot wanted to bind the Duo lane to the bottom side, they could have put the first blood gold on the Dragon instead. And historically speaking, you put your duo lane bottom side, to contest dragon, and doing this would have been a bit of a throwback. Though someone did point out that this would have likely impacted the Jungle meta. Saying it would favor Junglers who can solo the dragon.
CerealBoxOfDoom1 votesisn't bot lane supposed to be a mess?
Athenes Lulu1 votesHuh, that's long been a thing even before the first blood tower changes.
Did people already forgot about the double 
meta where you just teleport botlane and get free kills?
Early season 4 was pretty much about whoever can snowball the ADC harder, whether if it's lockdown spoonfeeding CC, or dishing out tons of damage. Can't do either of them you're pretty much "trash". It's all about the kill lane. That lasted until Windspeaker's, 6.9, and 6.13 became a thing.
DemainaNyx1 votesTo be fair, sometimes it isn't the worst ADC in the match up.
One game I had a support Leblanc that just didn't know what to do besides go in. She would get to lane, dive in to do a combo, and basically forget she could reactivate W to come back. I think she died 3 times before I got level 4.
Another game I had the enemy Shaco jungle gank twice while he was level 2 and then the mid Leblanc and jungler came down when mid hit 6 even though her lane was in the middle of the lane and she didn't get a kill on us. We were actually winning trades up until that point but they just sieged the tower and there wasn't much we could do without dying to them.
Honestly, teams need to take advantage of this. Come gank bot when you can. Go get your jungle item or hit 6 if you're a solo laner and then come bot for the free tower and possibly some kills.
