It definitly feels like Riot wants Bot lane to be the most frustrating lane to play now.

Last 2 created champs have some sort of ''get over fast'' skill

Bot tower has first blood mechanic and doesnt have fortification after levels 5-6

Adcs becoming picked based on Utility now. They dont do as much damage as they used to.

Infernal dragon becoming the highest priority

Ninja tabi buff

Are we doing this for the LC$ plays so we can see bot get tower dove more often? Because its more frustrating than you think,

IMO picking Utility ADCs is the best way to go now. Adcs honestly dont do shit anymore. Except ashe jhin n sivir ults

bot tower isnt worth 400 more gold, the first tower taken is worth 400 local + 25 global each(=125), which can be any tower

Bot tower doesnt have fortification at all, ALL other towers lose fortifiation after 5 minutes in, making all towers equal after minute 5,which hardly matters (have you ever won a game where your bot lane got stomped so hard they lost tower before 5 minutes?)

Yeah but how many times have you seen a 5 man group for top? Bot is the target of every game nearly. 4 man ganks all day. Jungler camping because dragon. Stuff like that. These updates are making bot lane harder to play

Dragon's always been there, and the primary focus of bot IS for dragon... plus there are 2 kills to be had there instead of 1. It's way less because of the 'bot tower is ez' because well... 5 minutes is VERY early to get a tower. Seeing as minions don't even spawn for the jungler until 1:30 I think. 3 and a half minutes for your entire first clear (back cuz you're likely low), then go to bot... kill both players and take tower? Yeah, that's going to be a rare case.

bot lane being camped is because it has a drake, and 2 kills botlane is 2 kills, while a kill top or mid is only 1 kill. If you get dove early before 5 minutes, yes, you might lose tower faster. But the enemy would need extreme coordination to pull that off in soloQ (read: by 4 man premade).

In contrast, bot lane also has the most vision of any lane, it should be easier to to spot 4 man ganks and back off.
