Can someone explain to me the advantages and disadvantages of being on Purple/Blue side?

I've recently been hearing alot of people talking about the purple vs blue advantages but they never seem to be all that impactful besides depending on where the jungler goes on their clears.

Other then that I've never seen a massive difference. Well there was the thing where at bot you saw less of the screen but that's gone now. The only other thing that comes to mind is that blue side bot and purple side top are more easier to gank because of the tri bushes but people seem to be having some strategical edge that I don't know about and now my curiosity is peaked.

So besides Jungle clears and tri bush ganking what's the biggest deal about having the different sides?

Blu or purple side effects the following

Team fighting around baron/ dragon dragon or baron sneaking Gank lanes as a jungler How the jungler may want to start effects how double jungle can work

These things break down into complex topics when you involve certain champs.

And there's a difference how far you can see. It's mostly notable if you play with locked cam, but also affects unlocked cam

Mostly its dragon control. Top side has an easier dragon. Bot has no escape path from a dragon attempt while top can retreat into the jungle.

Baron difference isn't that significant.

Top jungle just feels safer too for some reason.

I strongly prefer purple side due to easy dragon control (extreme snowballing possible if you get 1st dragon) and being able to get first blue to help your clear.
