I could go on, and explain in many ways how this is unbalanced, especially for top lane... but I think we all realize how it is so, and many have been asking for this for a long time.
IcyPepper1 votesRed side has its perks.
Jungler gets a nicer leash if they want to start blue buff, and if they're a tank they get Gromp instead of Krugs.
Lynxonyx1 votesYes, but there should be no difference, it should be the same experience regardless.
Murlainn1 votesI actually prefer starting red side. Is that weird?
aaronautumn1 votesi'd be interested in seeing data that shows if people lose more often when red side vs when they're on blue side. my guess is that the difference is so minimal that it evens out to about 50/50.
