There has to be a better way to stop laneswaps
Than ruining the game for all regular players and making (Especially higher elo games) determined by who is forced to back first with this tower nonsense.

Lane swaps like the enemy mid and top are changing places because they are able to, because you counterpicked only vs that champion and when its a different champion you tend to not do as well?
"Ruining". I rather enjoy it since I'm usually the one forcing people out of lane.
Do you have any suggestions though? If there isn't a massive meta shift, I don't see this problem being solved. The map has to be asymmetrical in some way, be it towers being different or objectives being different. If you have a crazy powerful objective in topside to try and stop laneswaps, you'll have a situation where top lane is now the fiesta lane and the game is decided on who gets it.
Part of the problem causing laneswaps was teams could go even with virtually no risk in the early game. So they made it impossible to do that. Now teams have to take on a significant risk and invest significant resources in order to get a large advantage from the bot lane. A large enough advantage that it ends up at least feeling worth for both teams to bet their entire early game on it. Thus resulting in a bot lane fuckfest. [I'm simplifying the whole thing quite a bit, though. The champion meta of all roles (but mostly those not top) both depends on this bot lane situation, and the situation depends on them. Plus some other stuff.]
That really "ruined" the game for you? Seriously?
it is strategy. you cannot stop strategy.
