Bot Lanes Slaves.

Is there a reason why I feel like I am just bot lanes slave now?

Like I win games where I go and camp my bot lane as a mid.

I lose games where I don't go camp my bot lane and my enemy laner did.

Then you need to get the Top Lane involved as well. Soon the junglers also come up. Now you have a 5 on 5 bot lane match in which the game is completely decided right then and there.

For me as a late game DPS mage main, why do I get this feeling that Ryze isn't suppose to be as late game as EVERY single adc?

Oh right, because he isn't anymore.

Ryze can't even enter the ADC's range to do his spells. He has to hope that they walk by somewhere that is unwarded and can get a kill.

The very fact that everyone is now bot lanes slaves is fucking horrid. It removes the idea of skill from the game. The only person that has to be skilled now is your ADC and Support.

At the end of the day, if you try to play any hyper carry champions they will get gutted and thrown to the side after they are/were in the limelight.

Prime Examples: Ryze, Cass, Azir, Viktor. These are just mid lane examples. But I am pretty sure some top laners and junglers will bring up some good old jungle nidalee or good ole poppy top/ GP top. Where are they now? Right in the trash because riot only believes in allowing ADC's to be existent.

The worse part about all of this is, this has nothing to do with the ADC mains.

This has all to do with Riots overall bad balancing over the years completely catching up now.

Assassin Meta, made ADC's weak. So ADC's get buffed. Then we get transitioned into Tank Meta AGAIN, Tanks can't be one shoting ADC's so ADC Items get buffed again. Mage Meta comes around, remove some core functionality from mage items like RoA's old passive, DFG (which would be a decent item now for late game), Put all of that into one item like Morellonomicon. Effectively removing the ADC late game counterparts in the APC side of things.

So I don't even blame the ADC mains. They were just playing their roles. I don't blame the assassins. I don't blame the tanks.

It is just riot being bad at balancing.

Also Bot lane WILL always be camped because two people are at bot.

So, Theorex what is your solution to this current snowball problem?!

1: Remove first tower gold. Remove it, we don't need that. A team shouldn't be rewarded more than what they already get. Because they are most likely going to get two kills, and a tower from bot lane. + Map Pressure.

2: Buff All Towers to slow down the ridiculous snowball speed. Make T3 towers the easiest to get, then make them progressive get harder.

So top and mid outer tower get 50% damage reduction buff for the first 8 minutes, and bot lane get the damage reduction buff for 6 minutes.

Inner towers get 50% damage reduction AT ALL towers until 13 minutes.

Inhib Tower gets it until 15 minutes. But also get a laser.

3: Make Rift Herald Disable that passive for 15 seconds after ramming it. To still allow snowballing but objective snowballing.

"This slows down gameplay too much!"

True, but it also encourages rotations, and playing as a team vs one team gets ahead in one lane and snowballs out of control with no real coordination. At least with this teams are forced to play together a bit more.
