Can the game not be centered around bot lane?

Succubús GF··8 votes·963 views

The game has been basically centered around bot lane for so long i cant remember when it wasnt a win based on whos bot was better. I mean sure mid and top can kinda factor but it wont cost the game if the mid laner or top laner loses. I cant tell you how many times when i made the mid laner feed off their ass and still lost because bot lane made a total of 20 deaths like ?????? Can we stop making it so based on one lane?

Its not though, i've lost plenty of games where the enemy top/mid lane got really fed and managed to carry. It depends on the champs people play and what people do with their lead, if you get strong you gotta apply that strength to the rest of your teammates and have an impact.

If you got yourself and your mid laner fed then you gotta ask yourself what can u do with that lead, go bot or top to help them gain a lead or recover. Invade the jungler to tilt and put them behind or just focus on your own strength.

I have seen plenty of games where one side's ADC wins lane, but looses the game. If anything, the game is centered around jungle. Junglers can make or break your game.

Ehh i can see that, too. Imo, mid and top winning lane has very little impact regardless

Unless it's Veigar Ahri Katarina Kassadin Malzahar or Talon

i agree with toplane, but midlane has a huge impact if winning, especially before teams start to group. if you push your lane and allow yourself to roam while your enemy laner has to stay in lane, you can do whatever you want and influence every lane aswell as jungle.

as for toplane: riot tried to change this with rift herald, but it didnt really change anything until now. theres no other role where i feel more isolated than toplane. i just farm, trade with my lane enemy and hope that my team will be able to win teamfights.

Let's be real, the game always centers around whatever role you're not playing. You do your best but your team's <role> gets beaten by their teams <role> and they snowball from there to win.

why do you feel the game is "centered" around jungle? Yes, jungle is supposed to influence all lanes. So is mid (roams), so is top (teleport), and so is botlane (roaming and swapping). And any role can make or break your game as jungler aswell as you can make or break their game. Edit: i felt what i wrote seemed too rude, kinda ignored your "if anything" and changed some parts. my apologies for that.

imo the game isnt centered around any role, but the bottom side of the map for the first 20 minutes of the game, which makes toplaners influence on the game kinda nonexistent pre20, except for tp plays. riot tried to change this by adding rift herald, but it didnt really pay off until now.

well given that botlane typically has a champ labeled as "A Carry" it makes sense that a victorious botlane would "Carry" their team to victory >.>

It's ADC, attack damage carry, not AGC.

bot lane has an extra person, usually lower mobility on at least one enemy, and dragon.

If you want that, nerf marksmen as a class. Despite anything anyone says, they are the only constant part of any team in any season, necessary to take objectives. If you give them enough power, they are always the most important target to shut down.
