Swapping Dragon and Baron pit locations

Honestly, with high priority bot lane is, something needs to change. ADC's shouldnt be the end all be all role. Yes it should be impactful, but not the single most impactful role in the game. Top half of the game is so boring and stale and nobody wants to play or give any attention to top lane.

Riot, here is a proposal, what if we swapped dragon and baron pit, more evenly distribute the action across the map rather than it being bot focused. It would make LCS more interesting cause there will be more to watch for, as its simply too focused on the bot half of the map. bot lane has ganking priority due to how powerful the role of adc is as well as getting your bot ahead shuts out 2 people entirely and with the dragons being the biggest focus now, it makes the bottom half of the map the only one that matters.

Switching pits would make top lane priority for objectives, and bot lane priority for shut out and lead. Making the jungler assess the matchups and determine which win condition to go after rather than simply getting both by camping botlane and ignoring the rest of the map. It feels like you get punished for ganking top or mid due to you not using your time to push up bot lane every chance you get. Really feels like top is the least impactful role for another year. And yeah i love top lane champions, but i play every role, so this isnt a "Top lane needs buffs" shitpost.

Really think about what my proposal would mean for games.

And to prevent laners simply swapping over make some kind of nerfs to being duo top besides plate armor, like maybe by making an area where if you are duo you get even less gold and xp, that would incentivize them to remain bot to be able to stay at more equal level with the rest of the lobby, and if they tried anyways, a solo laner could get a massive lead and punish the duo with gold and level advantage.

The only thing that would happen if you switched the pits is the adc and support would just go top and the top laner role would just move to bot. Switching the pits won't solve your problem it would just make people change lanes....
