Why do people say Bot Lane determines who will win the game? That is a flat out lie.

As the title says...

Whenever people practically say whichever bot lane feeds more loses, whichever bot lane gets its turret down faster loses, etc. is absolutely false.

Playing a Ranked game, our Bot lane ( I was Ivern support) won... Yet we still ended up losing the game in the end. So why did we not get that guaranteed win that people keep saying? :/ http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2458093337/235339808?tab=overview

Because the performance of bottom lane often determines how much influence and power the jungler can exert on the other lanes, how fast towers can be taken, how many dragons the team gets, and how much or how little the enemy team's bot lane can do to counter your own team's efforts.

If you win your bot lane (aka take the bot lane tower), the next thing to do is to either secure dragon if you haven't already or rotate yourselves to top lane and transition your lead there. I doubt the enemy top laner can handle three champions pushing into the turret, so that'll draw the enemy's attention to top lane and relieve pressure everywhere else on the map for your jungler and midlaner.

If you didn't do that, then the lost game is as much your fault as it is your teammates.

maybe at high ranked but bronze bottom lane means almost nothing

Bot lane is a place of lots of fragile objectives. It has your ADC, Your Support, Dragons, usually the first turret, etc. If you win bot lane, Your ADC will most likely snowball hard, your support can actually support the team better, Youll probably get drag and terret, and so on. But its very fragile, the other team can easily win bot and take these objectives.

Because Botlane is a fairly fragile lane where a double kill is very possible which basically makes it possible an adc to snowball very hard off the lane.
