LCS Lane Swapping is Boring to Watch

Anyone else agree? I know it's effective, and I know why teams do it, but it doesn't make it any less boring. It feels like watching a 2-on-1 boxing match. Who wants to watch one guy get pummeled? I think lane swapping should be a situationally valid tactic, but not the go-to tactic. Even Dyrus commented on how boring/un-fun playing lane swaps are. I am not sure how to fix it, or even if it needs to be fixed, but I just thought I would give my opinion. What do you guys think?

Remember when we got to watch a lane other than mid try to outplay each other....Pepperidge farm isnt the only one who remembers but it has been a while

When you try to play a twitch against a Caitlin or a vayne vrs graves you will realise how precious lane swaps are. As a secondary role adc i have alot of problems farming in a lane where i get countered by the enemy adc or the enemy support has too much harass power.

Teams sacrifice the top laner for a stronger adc, sup.

This privides more dmg and more vision for the exchange of a less powerfull top laner.

Most teams can live up to this. And find it a worthy move.

Now dyrus is a faq anyways so why care about what he says

Welcome to three lane MoBA's.

Advantaged, middle, and Disadvantage lane is the norm.

The fact we ever see a mirror match up with 1v1 and 2v2 is amazing as it almost never occurs in other moba's.
