Stop making lanes about wave clear

Congrats riot!

By giving every lane/champion a way to “quickly” wave clear so that they can start roaming and interacting with other lanes, you effectively made the landing face into, wave clear and run back to your tower or roam.

Landing use to be about trying to farm/last hit, while poking/trading where you see opponent attempting to last hit. It wasn’t even trying clear an entire wave. It was hard or costly in mana to constantly push or wave clear

Over the years, you have given every champion a way to do this. I get it, you did it so players can clear the wave fast in order to roam to start interacting with other.

Even pro plane, you can’t set up a minion wave to do damage. A top lane just go to their lane for 2-3 seconds to clear an 20 minion. Thanks to giving everyone lower cooldown, it doesn’t even mean you have a huge window to punish them. Champions like zigs were too unique for wave clear but you’ve given ADCs (8.6) just as much if not better wave clear from just itemization

It's not as bad as you think

Get good at know how waves push and freeze and slow push. It will rank you up quickly once you get the hang of know how you need to farm and setup ganks.
