Is there something wrong with bot lane?

Zerenza·Jul 4, 2016·5 votes·913 views

So over the past few months (probably since the mage update) every game i go into, bot lane either stomps or feeds really hard. Is that just how the lane is right now? It's getting to be fairly annoying, i'm not saying that it's ALWAYS them but its getting to be pretty frequent that if anyone feeds, its botlane. So i genuinely want to know from the ADC and Support mains, are you guys okay down there? Is there something your not telling us? Cause i'll TP in and help if you ask for it.

Yeah it happens a lot. Basically jungle mid and top are all looking to feed off botlane so it can go really bad for one side depending on who gets clown fiesta'ed. Just a numbers thing. More guys in botlane to eat = more attention from players.

dynamic shit fest revolves around dick riding bot lane

That's just how the dynamic is bot lane. If you get a sub-par adc or support, you usually get crushed. You have to rely on another player not just yourself.

I thought so, like i didn't want to sound rude to them or anything cause i used to support but it's been that all 10 of my losses can be attributed to a 1/10/0 vayne or something on my team and it's just really frustrating.

Same. I like both to play both roles but there's only so much you can do yourself.

(Support main)

I'm ok and my adc is ok because I make sure they don't feed 😃. I think there are certain picks for adc and support that are very strong right now who can wreck lane if played properly. For instance Jhin and Cait. Zyra has been one of the most annoying supports to lane against since her rework. Botlane normally goes one of two ways (destroy or be destroyed) depending on the support. I think when we are playing aggro, we tend to be up in CS and positioning wise even in lane or slightly pushed up, so for feeder prevention services, remind your botlane to ward one of the two bushes so you can tp if they need it. And look at the cs comparison from time to time. Around the 7-10 min mark is when people normally start to fight 2v2

heres an idea

if bot both take tp

then me the toplaner will put the ward in topbush

and then we can clownfiesta toplane instead :D

Dynamic Boosts allows teams to focus on bot lane easier with communication skills. Jungler Ganks/Mid roaming/Top Tp/etc. Why 5 man gank a solo lane when you can 5 man gank a duo lane for double the kills?

ADC main here with new dynamic Q, 3,4,5 man ganks, camps is a new standard.

It's more than the 5 man ganks clown fiesta, it's also the support meta change. Before it was Tank supports being dominant picks because they set up, peel, were defensive, more cc oriented, and protect the ADC. Now the only supports that work are poke, offense, and/or sustain supports. This was done due to the huge damage creep we have now. The best CC is having your lane opponents dead now. So now bot lane is determined by which damaging support fires off first. The damage is so high that Tank supports are becoming more obsolete with each and every damage increasing patch. Supports are ditching the defense tree and go for Thunderlord's Decree for more lane damage dominance.

The only good bot lane Tank support right now is Leona because she gets into the squishy supports face, stuns them, and then takes advantage of the damage creep by amplifying her Marksman's damage with her passive. This was increased even more so after her buffs. Sadly as a Tank support, I've only learnt this after being demoted from Plat 5 because took a break from clown fiesta league. Owell now I have a reason to try to play with passion again and climb.
