Bot lane is basically feeding grounds

Cosmochris·Mar 14, 2016·3 votes·609 views

I play bot lane pretty often but i main top/jg and its funny to see every single time theres always 4-5 bot whenever theres a fight going on. You never see 3-4 top or mid unless top or mid are winning pretty hard but for the most part, theres always 4-5 people ganking bot on either side of the team and it makes me think that adcs and support are kinda like food for the jglers, mid, and/or top laners cause bot lane is so easy to destroy. I guess this is half rant and half just saying its funny how thats what the meta kinda is.

Basically its because jungle and top can go and buy early. Mid can't really roam until they resupply and waveclear. (They would just be giving up their turret otherwise)

Bot lane tends to try and get as much CS as possible because item 1038 first is really good and after getting that item you afford to play from a little behind compared to earlier buys. Before that happens, you can be punished without taking as much damage from a top and jungler that has improved smite, more items than you, and might even have lots of armor/health to tank the turret easily.

The stronger the kill potential your support has, the less able they can 3v2 / 4v2 you.

In S6 there is a greater tendency to have winning lanes bleed into another, so if your jungler messes around = free enemy ganks in a lane = possible kill = buy = 4 man gank to get the first dragon to deny devourer to enemy jungler.

It's not necessarily that bot is easier to gank, it's that it's closest to dragon.

If people (i.e. jg/mid) gank bot, you can potentially get 2 kills, a tower, and a drag out of it. Drag being bot side is also why bot lane is the duo lane under normal circumstances, as you want that extra control over the area to potentially contest drags.

lack of warding is the issue. If you ward properly then you can see mid or jungle on there way to bot and you can pull back while your team come for assistance.
