Regarding Minion changes

I personally feel that this design by nature is a horrible idea.

With how you're setting up the minions there is legitly 0 reason to put ANY pressure on the bot lane.

Let me break it down for you:

Minions by default are stronger AND push harder the minute avg level OR Tower advantage is present. The easiest lane to shove is in fact the top lane. There's also a mini baron present pre 20 that ALSO helps shove.

What exactly is stopping anyone from picking champs that secure very early game kills?

Just for example:

Shaco Riven: Level 2 gank top basically seals that lane into all but defeat. Follow that with one more gank ignoring your bot side all together and there's a gg 5 to 7 minute turret followed by baron thingy. NOW top laner has to deal with BARON BUFF + Minion advantage. Turret 2 is inevitably gone if 3 people don't come top that instant. Especially when your top laner is like Shen. It's just gg. That Riven will be at inhib in 8 minutes. Now bot and mid are also indirectly power spiked just from top lane. Heaven forbid top lane tele ganks right after this and brings baron buff to bottom and gets a double kill + turret + dragon.

Ten minutes in and now the minions are so strong that you have tri lane pressure and can just indirectly group as five and shove down mid. If they group they lose.

IF they do 3 mid + 1 on each side they lose.

If they do 4 mid 1 top they lose.

Take two more turrets and that's a baron. IF they try to contest baron they lose because minion wave.

The entire meta is going to be focused on early game top gank cheese with very strong early game cc champs.

Late game champs will stand no chance in this upcoming meta.

IT will be the which team 3 man gang bangs the level 2 top laner meta. Because if your top dies at level 2 the game is 90% over.

This is even worse than 5v5 call of duty bot lane.

At least with that meta one dragon, or one team fight, or one tower isn't the end of the world.

You can still farm and turtle and wait for them to mess up. Not in this meta.

Whoever ganks top first, takes pink dude and turret sets the game up for inevitable defeat.
