Will there ever be a meta

....where bot doesn't determine the outcome of the matches? More often than not bot lane is the deciding factor in the matches. It's where most ganks go, it's where dragon is, there's two people there for potential kills (instead of one in a solo lane). If you can protect your ADC, they literally just stand still and auto away freely. If your bot lane is playing poorly, you're pretty much screwed regardless of how well you're doing. The other team's bot lane success just snowballs into everyone else's lanes and fucks the other laners over and I'm pretty tired of it.

Can't always roam there neither as a mid laner, so don't give me that "well roam bot and help them." Sometimes my lane is neutral and if I roam it gives them a lead and just feeds their bot more.

Read this and instantly started clapping. It feels awful for solo laners to come out even or even ahead and still lose because Vayne or Kai'sa are just deleting your team.

ive won plenty of games my bot fed just as many as i have lost.

Your decision making in those instances will determine that match

Like what specifically? I feel like most matches where my bot is playing poorly, I lose. Yeah there's those random times we still win but majority of the time we lose. If you got tips how to counter that, I'm all ears.

Well I mean are you communicating correctly and utilizing your tools effectively. You are a mid main so are you roaming bot to help them should there lane look difficult and in order to roam are you maintaining your lane correctly ? You have the most roam potential of any lane.

I just lost a match as velkoz suppprt where we crushed the enemy bot lane but a few good roams by there zed ruined our tempo and lost us the game.

Literally right now Midlaners impact the game more than anyone else on the map.

For early season 9, jungle impacted the game more than both bot laners combined (i.e., a mediocre/poor performance from adc+support could be counteracted by an overperforming jungler, but not vice versa.)

Well bot lane is literally where 40% of of the players in a game live, so assuming each roles has equal influence, it will keep being the most important lane because it SHOULD be the most important lane.
