Some Macroplay theorycrafting

I have been theory crafting some pretty juicy stuff, and I want some opinions before I go and troll some normal games

So, the idea is no top laner. There are two junglers. This is ok, because in the early game, the tower can't be powered down and the rotate power of having two people not tracked makes 4 Manning the top tower not an option especially through early game tower resists.

So, the carry goes mid, and has one of the junglers constantly ganking them. The junglers take turns invading and pressuring the lanes, in order to starve out the enemy jungler and mid laner.

The botlane has an engage, CC heavy support like Leona and a high early game damage brusier like Renekton or Darius. The idea is to have immensely kill pressure at all times against the enemy lane should some lucky CC land, and the double jungle makes the bot lane dive on the two short range champs not an option because the counter potential is so strong, especially into a lane with intentionally high CC

The mid laner can even play an AP carry such as Ziggs, which provides the added benefit of crushing mid pressure on the tower. This partners well with the viability of carry junglers, most of whom are AD.

The most confusing or difficult to coordinate part would be the jungle paths through first and second clears. Essentially, both play junglers with healthy self clear. (Warwick, Shaco, Olaf, Udyr, Jax) one starts krugs, the other starts raptors. The raptors one gets a mid leash, then takes red, then ganks mid. The krugs jungler takes krugs, then picks up the double wave in top for the XP and some gold. The toplane jungler then invades the enemy jungle, fighting the jungler as both mid and top are pushed in by the gank and the clear. After the mod gank, the jungler there either helps the invading jungler, or resumes their own clear, being sure to leave a camp for the ally jungler, since a full clear is not needed to get jungle item, when crab is taken.

The junglers then take on an alternating pattern of taking the top waves, invading, and farming their own jungle. After a clear or two, the bot lane would rotate top, to protect the likely low tower, as well as escape what is slowly becoming a depressing match up as the range begins to have greater impact with the ADC on the other team gaining power. The pressure vacuum is not relevant to the vulnerable mid laner because the jungler is starved by constant invades and no gank opportunity.

The rotation complete, the Bot lane has to rotate out, or allow their top tower to be taken as the top laner is rendered helpless and the jungler is further crushed on their topside, or must lose all dragon control and lose bot tower to a 3 man push

The entire idea revolves around taking control out of the hands of the enemy team, making their only choice to be proactive and risky, then punishing them for mistakes during their risky plays.

Interesting side note, if you do play Shaco, you could actually take TP over flash for added pressure and interesting ganks.

You would lose xp lead and fall behind horribly, and enemy top laner would free farm. Horrible idea, not to mention jungler wouldn't have to ward for top laner as much and could focus vision towards bot/mid and completely ward out your entire jungle.

Would the xo difference really be that big with invades and catching the top waves?

And there are not a lot of Meta carry tops right now. Gp, probably the only exception.

Thanks for feedbacks
