Thoughts on duo mid with bard support

I asked a question before as to why the meta is this way and why we dont do duo mid instead of duo bot. Well now im wondering what bout duo mid with a bard support? He can roam and duo gank a lane with the jungler and collect his chimes getting xp while your mid gets solo xp you get xp from chimes. Or invade there jungler with your jungler and put 2 on him. If hes in the top side jungle there isnt any way to stop it. Cause there bot cant go all the way top to save him. So even if there laners come and yours come you still have more numbers. Bard supports already roam a lot to get chimes but this way you can be less worried about leaving your laner 1v2 instead itll be 1v1 against a zoned out laner

I think mid is the easiest place to escape a gank (you aren't back against a wall on one side) which makes it good for a solo lane, while duo bot can rely on each other and warding.

Also, whichever side your team is on, mid is never far from getting the blue buff passed to them (1 bot lane team will be close to blue while the other is close to their red).

When you consider those, it seems like Mid is always the safest bet to have a solo laner.

Meanwhile your ADC gets zoned out in a 1v2, loses lane, probably gets tower dived in a 3 man gank without warning (because lets face it ADC's don't buy wards), and when the enemy team finally DOES take bot tower and transitions to midgame you have an ADC who is useless at tower pushing or contesting objectives due to lack of items and exp, all the while you are putting YOUR mid laner at an EXP disadvantage because you are leeching exp until you leave lane. Not to mention that once the enemy ADC is strong enough to solo yours, their support can leave lane and start roaming too, equalizing your pressure while still leaving your teams ADC in a lane that they cannot farm safely in.

Sounds like a great way to screw over multiple carries at once.
