How to solve 5-man bot ganks

I'm pretty sure everyone feels like botlane is a complete mess right now and that's because the best strat to win a game is come bot, kill 2 people, take summoners, take tower, then take drake. That's a huge advantage to the team 5-man ganking bot already and it just feels utterly trash playing botlane.

So.. What if drake and rift herald changed places?

There are 2 situations that could happen with this change

  1. People will still respect the meta and play adc bot, and pressure will be relieved from there because you can't take drake after 5-manning bot, so at least sometimes you will have to decide if an infernal is better than 5-manning bot.

  2. People will play adc-supp toplane. It's a win-win situation though since towers are stronger there and they won't be able to take a tower before adc gets back to lane.

Most of you will say that jungler will just gank the toplaner (that will go bot, in this case) and he will take the weaker bot tower. Most toplaners in this meta are tanks/bruisers so it's not that easy to dive them, especially they won't be able to take the tower because of teleport

Whichever way you'd take it, it's a way to relieve pressure from the duo lane. Even if it is small, there is room to decide whether to gank the duo lane or to take another objective on the other side of the map

Please tell me what you think about it :)

If the enemy team is thinks it's a good idea to send 5 people down to my lane, I wish them the best. At least one is going down with me. And so help me God if my teammates don't shove their turrets, I'd be tilted. Losing bot tower for top and mid is pretty worth to me. Jungler can grab enemy opposite side jungle, too, for optimal punish.

I think we could build Trump's great wall to separate bot lane from the rest of the map :P

The ADC and support would move top instead, the difference would be which tower doesn't get fortification bonus. The weak tower would be the one protected by the tank/juggernaut/etc... instead of the duo lane.
