Yes, but rotated 90 degrees.

Isn't this just a picture of the map?

This wouldn't balance the map, blue would still have an overall advantage because it's easier to steal drake as blue and easier to contest baron. This matters because on average drake steals have more impact on games than drake contests while baron contests have a larger impact than steals.

I thought this was supposed to be about ejecting bot lane from the game.

It's not fair, but it is...balanced. Ba-dum tss


However, backing to seriousness:

The reason that red and blue sides are mismatched is because of two things: Pick/ban order and drake/baron pits.

Blue side picks first. This means they get to...well...pick first. If there's a pick or ban pick that slips through ban phase, they get to play said champion, if they pick it. However, red side picks last. That means they have more opportunity to counterpick, and their last pick can't be counterpicked at all.

Blue side will always have an easier time stealing drake, while red side has a bit easier time stealing baron and herald. Blue side top and red side bot are safer in lane, because they don't have a tribrush to gank from.

The map would have to be completely redesigned to balance it out.

Aaaaand there's one other thing: The minimap. With how you have it, blue side botlane's minimap is going to cover part of their view of their lane, while red side's won't. Toplane blue side will have their river obscured partially, while red side will have part of their tribrush obscured. Midlane blue side will have their lower bush obscured, red side will have their currently rightmost entrance obscured.

This same issue is present somewhat on TT. Blue side toplane has a minor disadvantage because they can't see quite as much of the middle of the lane.

I actually prefer purple side because it's easier to do dives from blue side's chicken camp lol Yasuo

I actually disagree and prefer ride side. As a jungler contesting/stealing drake from red side if much easier as your angle of approach is much broader. As with Baron you want that wall between you and baron when preparing for a steal as it stops you from being instantly burst during your approach. Also going red-blue during jungle rotation blows on like 70% of junglers.

I think the real issue with the map, is the bot side tri bush, and the top side tri bush give those people HUGE disadvantages, since now they can easily be flanked, if they cannot keep 2 wards up at all time

But then with the slopes Blue Side top lane loses screen if pushing

Same with red side bot lane running.
