I Think supports should go mid, not bottom

After watching and reading about the Nubrac vs NB3 i came to one conclusion.

  • ** EDIT READ THE WHOLE POST BEFORE COMMENTING WITH YOUR OPINIONS **

ALL Supports should go mid as the standard lanes and they should've been doing this for years

  1. Going Mid allows the Support the ability to roam to both other lane rather then just mid.
  2. It provides better objective control, with the changes to Rift/Dragon from past seasons this gain much importance
  3. It allows the support to better react to invades and help his JG in crab battles
  4. it provides better vision control

But but the ADC 1 v 2

I think the advantages of having a support mid are much more valuable then have one bot and that BOTH support should always start mid. This is already the standard thing to do post laning phase in pro play. I honestly think this should be done during laning phase.

I will be playing support mid lane from now on because i think it's the correct thing to do.

P.S. Let me make one thing clear. I'm suggesting both ADCs and support go mid and that traditional mid laners go bot. I think this makes sense from both a strat perspective and would also help from a "fun" perspective in the long term as it makes it harder to counter pick the solo lanes when they're effectively playing the same lane and can lane swap bad matchups

Ok, if this is about nubrac. The dude was literally inting streamer's games.

If you for some dumb reason think it was a legit strat.

Go to nubrac's op.gg and check his stats with Teemo and his stats with other champions. Laughable how gullible some people are, ready to jump to defend INTERS if it means they can bash riot.

item 3109 item 3050 item 3504 Will be useless in almost ALL matches... item 3107 item 3174 item 3190 Would be the only support items worth building. Not very satisfying!

ADCs scale with items, other classes scale with levels. Since having two people in a lane gives less xp to each person, the only lane the support could go in without being a burden is botlane.

On top of the Botlane tower not having early game protection that I wont write again.

There's other thing: Midlane is already the most impactful lane on the Map for how easy it is to rotate to everywhere, if on top of the strategical position you make that lane the duo lane the impact of the duo lane would be massive and it would cater to a better Botlane Midlane wins meta easily.

Which is something that as an ADC main myself, I dont want to happen.

You would need ADCs to be put mid there too because they can't lane without support(most at least). And if that was the case, then botom would just become a mirror to top essentially having 2 same lanes with same champs picked. So, all the mid champions that use that lane would be useless.

So, no terrible Idea
