What if the meta was shifted so...

...the jungler becomes mainly a "support" for the toplane rather than a constantly roaming role, making toplane a possible 2 players lane?

What would be the pros and the cons? Let's discuss about this.

Indeed, originally the Jungler's role was to do the following things:

Allow two laners to get solo exp and gold instead of just one lane.
Apply map pressure on global objectives.
Keep track of the enemy Jungler.

It wouldn't really matter anyway, top and mid lane towers were hotfixed with early game damage reduction to prevent hard pushing early towers. You wouldn't really get any benefits out of it other than denying your enemy laner CS, but that means nothing if they can farm under tower. As Fallenreaper88 said, for the cons, it's less economical as you'd gain less experience and less gold than solo farming in the jungle.

I think this would take away the jungler's job of being all around, this would kill some afk farmers and may be side bias if you have the blue or red buff side. The pro would be more game play for top and action but i dont think that would be to good. It would also take away helping out your bot lane or mid if they are having trouble
