Can something be done about bottom lane feeding?

The game is 100% unrecoverable if this happens, and it's pretty stupid.

I just had a bottom lane go 0-10 by 10 minutes. The game was completely lost at that point. I was 3-1-3 jungle, our top was 2-0-1, and our mid was 2-0-2. But we couldn't do anything, because bottom had fed so hard. I couldn't gank for them, because they kept pushing to the tower. Even if I did gank, they could have probably 2v3'd us, because they were so fed.

This is the only lane that irrevocably loses the game by feeding. Something should be changed.

Like what exactly? Do you have an actual suggestion or are you just venting?

Every time you lose a game you come here and rage on the forums about how good you were, how bad your team was, and how unfair it is.

I'd argue that ANY Lane can unrecoverably end the game. As an adc main who's gone 8-0 in 10 minutes and been unable to carry due to top or mid going something like 0-13, I can assure you that if any Lane is feeding hard it's very hard to make up for them.

Honestly I think bottom Lane is the least offensive of the 3. Top and mid both automatically have a considerable level lead on bot and jungle. If bot Lane starts feeding you can catch it early and stop it pretty easily as the jungler is slightly higher in level and mid/top are considerably ahead in levels. If a solo Lane is feeding, no one other than the other solo Lane can even challenge the enemy due to level differences. So if one solo Lane is feeding and the other is even, it's ggwp Pretty much.

Also, recall that bottom Lane has 2 players. If they're both feeding and both are really bad players, it's no different than any 2 roles having bad players feeding. It's relatively easy to turn a game where you have just a bad adc or just a bad support (considerably easier than top or mid), it's really hard to turn a game where 2 of your 5 players are bad and feeding in any roles.

Anyways, to answer your question: First time they both die in Lane (or once they're down 2-3 kills to 0), gank with a solo laner and jungler 4v2 next time they come back. Mid has waveclear and roam ability, top has teleport. Get the 4v2 double kill then do Dragon.

Get top to QUICKLY end their lane. Then go mid with your top laner and 3 man push/dive middle. Now that top and mid are down you can go bottom and forcibly end the lane via 5v2/3.

If the enemy tries to counter push top your top laner should have teleport to protect it.

there's a reason the "C" in "ADC" stands for CARRY

Bot lane rarely wins games. I can't tell you how many times I've had a crazy good start in bot lane. And then the rest of their team all just keeps camping us and then we have to be really passive and can't snowball well at all. So really if you let your team's bottom lane get to 0-10, it's your top, mid, and jungler's fault for not helping them enough. If you can't win 3v2, bring 4. And if you can't win 4v2, bring 5. Never let their bottom lane snowball that hard.

Really though, if mid or top feeds really hard it seems there's no way to win. Then they can just roam and ruin all the other lanes for the other team.
