The Top Side of the Map is Nearly Completely Useless
The entire game should be the Middle Lane and the Bottom Lane with a Jungle in between. The top side of the map holds no value in the current state of the game other than just some additional towers. There is absolutely no reason to apply any pressure to Top Lane in the beginning stages of the game since ADCs have been designed to be the primary class at ending the game (killing groups of champion and towers) and Elder Dragon is now in the Bottom side of the map, which is in honesty better than Baron Nashor since the buff it gives is always useful, in and out of champion combat, and gives more value the better you are doing. You cannot compare Dragons to the Rift Monsters because they are just far too different in importance. Rift Herald is a buff that shuts down when near allies and is only a small buff in stats that lasts for 20 minutes. The cost is that Rift Herald itself is harder to kill than Dragon and might actually kill you. Same goes with Baron Nashor and Elder Dragon. Elder Dragon is 100% able to be solo'd by champions at a certain stage of the game. There aren't any mechanics for it that make it not so except high stats, which can be outdone. Meanwhile, Baron Nashor has SEVERAL mechanics to make it unable to be solo'd and, in my opinion, provides a lower payout. Even Elder Dragon by itself is better since the true damage DoT it provides is absolutely fantastic for adding damage to a fight, making even Supports deal moderate damage if left alive. In the next Mid-Season Update or sooner, this NEEDS to be fixed. The only reason the top side of the map exists is for there to be a Top Lane. That is it. So much is decided at the Bottom Side of the map currently that whoever wins Top Lane is entirely trivial to the outcome unless both Bottom Lanes end the lane even. That's the top side of the map right now. The Backup Plan if the Bottom Side ends up even.
but muh stacks!
