Can we seriously do something about Bot Lane?

Holy fuck it's so tilting to just be the constant target of 5 man bot lane fuck parties since we have the weakest tower. Deadass you just pick a tank support/any body with good shields, a sorta tanky jg and just proceed to shove your way through bot lane and snowball off that shit.

Like get rid of first tower gold or do something this shit actually makes me wanna main a different lane cause its so frustrating to deal with.

Even if I ward, its still not gonna prevent them from either

A. Making you leave to get turrets easier

or

B. Just diving your ass anyway.

And god forbid that your jungler not realize whats going on, cause then your definetaly fucked

i'm unsure what went through riot's mind when they decided not to put fortification buff on bot lane like every other single tower.

It's honestly not efficient to destroy the tower before the 10-minute marker in a lot of cases, unless you really want that first-tower gold, but try explaining this to people. If the ADC lets the lane push in after the first tower is gone and freezes that lane, it can be extremely detrimental to the enemy ADC and support, and set them up for easy JG ganks and free kills for your team. I prefer for people to gank that first tower in 10 minutes if it makes them happy to do so. A good wall of wards near the Krug, bushes, and down the lane opens up good visibility and sets up a good trap. --- People don't manage the minion waves like they should sometimes.

If you get a 5-man party early in the game trying to bash in your squishy ADC face and tower, just fall back and let them take it, and try to freeze the lane where the opening / bushes are by the Krugs. If you manage that lane well it's a great way to deny the enemy ADC farm, or force him to come in and chase after it which leaves him vulnerable. Use this to your advantage and troll the snot out of the enemy ADC / Supp.

Pushing a lane isn't always the smartest decision early in the game. If I kill the first turret before 15 minutes, you won't catch me going past the river if my tower's still up. I just won't do it if it's just me and my support except under very special circumstances. It's a good way to get ganked and feed the enemy. Let top or mid lane get the first tower kill. There's no need to rush it in the bottom lane, especially since most ADCs are crap during the early game. Just play it slow and get your farm. If the enemy really wants to have a party in your bot lane, let them, and then set up the trap with the lane freeze.
