I am not one bit sorry to see the bot lane nerfs next season.

Top and mid deserve this buff for having spent entire seasons carrying ADC after ADC who unapologetically refuse to learn basic macro or try to get carried, for having to fill in for the huge bot lane difference which comes with every second game, I don't feel one bit sad that power is now being taken away from bot lane in whatever form the nerfs come in.

For anyone who plays top lane, or even mid, AD carry players are the most entitled players in the game and it's a pain in the ass to carry a losing bot lane, only to have them feed off on your LP.

It's almost as if top and mid laners realize they need to improve their macro to climb but AD carry mains go "guess I'll just right click and perhaps a good team will carry me to gold this week" before they enter in 90% of my games.

Supports should move up and help top laners while adcs cry and slap the occasional minion.

Here's a question? What nerfs? These new support items are buffs in disguise:

You can farm when a laner isn't there again (both in charges and in minions)
Your item costs 1400G less for the same amount of AP, and now you have AD options.
No need to leave lane.
Adcs can also support. Again...... what nerfs?

Mid lane mains wanna cry about how much influence their heavy botlane has on the outcome of the match... Late game when they allow the match to even go that long.

Meanwhile they and jungler (40% of the team) have all the agency in the most crucial 15 minites of the game... except for the ONE play top gets to make with his TP IF he plays his cards right)

Top gets to make that ONE play and otherwise also doesn't get to do jack to effect the outcome of the game until teamfight phase begins.

If the game reaches teamfight phase and top and bot haven't already been removed from the game then the two lanes get to work together with whoever else on the team did well to make the dream work.

...That is if top decided to be team players and pick something useful in a teamfight. If top decided to pick lane bullies then they get to be second mid: dominating lane phase and useless in the teamfights unlessly they stomped massively.

But it's totally botlane (40% of each team) that has too much agency guys. Not like whether they get to even try to carry is entirely dependent on the other (60%) players' actions, each of whom is guaranteed to have an impact, even if their performance level makes it a negative one.
