is it just me or is it gonna destroy bot lane's ability to stay relevant in the game? we already are down in level compared to solo laners and now there buffing solo lane xp and nerfing ours, seems fucked to me.

Oh, yea its ridiculously stupid. Whoever made that decision doesnt play the game or if they are, is probably bronze. it's the worst change to preseason. ADC Main since S5-S6

ive had enough of xayah and kaisa players 1 shotting me with no counterplay, it is fucking disgusting to play against one of those fed kaisa/xayahs with a support as a solo laner

Adcs will be fine. The real issue for supports is that it may force the meta to become more roam heavy/less level reliant so ADCs can soak more solo xp from the lane. Probably a massive bard buff, buff to early game supports that arent level 6 reliant, nerf to mage supports and your pyke who is 6+ reliant.

I mean. Top laners have managed to cry loud enough that adcs are op and need nerfs. So riot listened (for some fucking reason)

Meanwhile they buff the solo lanes and leave 3/5 roles to be left in the shitter behind them.

the xp thing dont bug me as much as of the new gold income items for support.

like once you stacked it or whatever 'completed the quest" its stops giving gold. if this is the case and im not remembering it incorrectly i think it hurts supports a lot

i think it hurts carry/mage supports more cuz well they needed more gold to get their damage items utility/enchanters may still be ok , idk

We will just move top and exile juggernauts to bot lane.

bot lane's power is in its proximity to dragon, the fact that there's 2 of you, your ability to (generally) break out of lane to start rotating earlier than everyone else, and the fact that you (generally) scale into late game
