why not move adcs to top lane?

then we can abolish the support role for good and have a duo freedom bot lane. fuck it, annie and xin. rengar and thresh. singed and volibear. nautilus and blitzcrank. literally anything that would work. the adc's support? it would be the jungler.

Then supports wouldn't be very useful in any lane (not counting mid lane BS). ADCS scale with items more than most champions, so they need to farm a lot. Supports are meant to protect them as them farm, and they soak up experience from the ADC.

Mages, tanks, fighters, and even assassins scale better with levels than ADC's. So they need as much experience as possible. It's the same reason why you leave the jungler right before they kill gromp/krugs when leashing. They need the experience and if you stay then they won't level.

Plus you'd be turning the jungler into a much heavier role as they'd have to protect squishy alone ADC's as well as help other lanes.

The support role is needed and there are people that find it fun. You shouldn't think the game would be better by outright removing them.

how do you feel about adc's mid and duo jungle? Take Heim bot lane and build zz'rot. Relentlessly push that lane.

Support is fun to an extent, but it doesnt carry very hard unless you are thresh or blitz. Not even support mains want to play it 100% of the time. I dont think its something to get rid of, but I think I might have more fun if I didnt have to work a duo lane every game. I am just really curious to see how duo jungle and solo laners would change the game.

Duo jungle? They'd be even further behind in gold and levels.

i figure they would be invading a lot and the enemy laners would have to do a lot of work collapsing. I dont think we have the right ward trinkets in the game for this.

You can already do that though. Stick an ADC in your Top lane and put some silly fun duo in bot lane, i do it all the time with my friend. Some stuff we've had success playing:

Orianna Yasuo Swain Viktor Blitzcrank Darius Ekko Lux Lissandra Riven Singed Zilean Vladimir Chogath Yasuo (personal favorite) Cassiopeia Annie Azir Ahri

Its not a good idea to put adc's in top lane alone. They dont have the cc to survive ganks and top is a super long lane. Mid is a bit better, but you can get camped there, as it is so central.

Did you post this because of the thresh rengar video?
