Regarding the lack of attention in top lane...

So I get the meta has been the way it was for a long time. And for a good reason.

This preseason I've noticed that Baron gets far less attention than before, and the dragon is pretty much the big buff that everyone's fighting for.

That means that bottom lane is a hotbed of activity. As an ADC mainly, I want to ask: Why isn't the top lane the adc/support? and the bottom lane the split pushing tank?

It would certainly make sense to me if there was a mass switch, especially for teams that want to minimize the attention that their carry gets.

Has anyone tried this in Season 5?

Having more champs near the hotly contested objective is better than having less...

Baron is a lategame objective that doesn't even spawn until laning is halfway over (or actually over depending on how the game is going). I'm not sure it's even a consideration for laning.

Why don't you just try it if you're so hell bent? Put a strong 1v2 laner bot and take Kog and Nunu or something top and demolish their solo lane.
