Lane swap strategy to the max

This strategy works excellent if you can coordinate it correctly. So providing the enemy team has a typical meta comp, do the following.

Send your mage top lane, it allows them the most time to get farmed up before team fights, and providing the enemy top laner is melee, you have relative safety.

Mid is your adc and supp. Three things can happen here, you force early mage or assassin out of farm, and take mid tower early, allowing map presence to increase. You also are able to have your supp roam top or bot with the jungler for best ganks NA

Bot you send your typical bruiser/tank, he will need to have a little aoe clear, and take smite with cinderhulk. He wont get as much farm, but will hold the tower and make sure bot lane is always pushed against him for easy kills. He is also bot lane for easy drags.

This actually allows your team fight oriented champs to be closer to where team fights usually break out early. The only downside is you cant really pick a super late game adc because they will naturally be getting slightly less farm and have less time to do it in mid lane.

Probably won't happen outside of premade 5s no solo queue top lane player is going to willing give up exp and gold and be set behind by the enemy team. In solo queue every player wants to carry and really they don't trust anyone else to.

Not to mention the lack of practice that any low elo players have with this. I.E. freezing the wave and how to still keep dragon control with you bot lane top.

I basically wrote this exact same thing yesterday and wimped out on posting it because i thought people would be negative of a solo bot lane. I won a game like this a couple days ago as mundo bot. Slight variation of this I thought to maximize the power of the cindhulk as well would be to have a tanky support with smite like sej or gragas.
