New Support + jungler Meta

I've heard a lot of compliments about the "taric+Yi" "nunu+karthus" meta, but I want to propose that this isn't a bad or broken thing, while it definitely is a game play shake up if you go way way back, people weren't putting an adc and support in the bot lane at the start of league. The reason they do that now is they found out it's better if you play that play style. Back then if you didn't go a support + carry in bot lane you got smashed. I think this is the same concept happening now. Players have found a better play style, a support and carry in the jungle and mid lane. And if you don't do it you get smashed because it's a better team comp. How can we say that this is a bad shake up when the same shake up happened before.

I would say the only issue is that now a bunch of things which were made with the "normal" standard in mind, are now misaligned. Things such as bot lane tower being significantly weaker, or the exp gain from jungle camps is not meant to be shared necessarily. Certain jungle specific champions could struggle with the new shift too.

Adc and defensive supports were too dominant, so now only early focused carries are relevant and defensive supports are extremely hard to use.

We complained about this, did we forget already? Like, I understand the frustrations, but isn't this what we wanted? We hated tanks, carries, and bad teams making comebacks right? Did we not say that games were too long and we wanted the best player to win?

Like... That dream didn't look the way wanted it to, but we got it... So lets go with the shift and make it happen.
