I feel like it's just when I choose to farm as when I go to clear minion waves, a teamfight will start and I can't commit to that if we have any chance of winning it. Then when we group up mid or whatever and I'm ready for the teamfight, it's just a big standoff and I miss a lot of farming opportunity. | ||

Learn when to push and when to freeze lanes, it's not that much about having X farm at Y minutes but rather just having more farm in comparison to everyone. Try to counterjungle after pushing lanes if you play mid/bot, think about WHEN to leave your lane and when not. Time objectives and push your lane accordingly so you lose minimum amounts of CS. Also, know when to screw CS and group up. It's not worth finishing off your 5th item by farming bot 39 minutes into the game if your team loses baron in the process. | ||

Also, someone already mentioned it, but number's rant about how we're all no-lifes and need to get on his fucking level cause he's going to harvard was pretty amazing. | ||

Who the fuck knows why. | ||

At least if you count jungle interaction top lane. Surely you're not implying everyone swapped from bruiser+support bot and AD top to the reverse for no reason? Obviously there have been some sucessful bot lanes with a bruiser and some sucessful top lanes with an AD but they are the exception not the rule. | ||

Double bruiser/supports combos like ali, blitz, poppy, jarvan, leona can still shut down some AD + support lanes but it takes a lot of coordination and skill to do so, and if it fails it fails reallyyyy hard. Some tanks like cho and galio can properly 1v2 after a few levels, but it mainly just means the enemy AD gets really farmed though. A better AD + support combo is basically one of the best ways to counter AD + support in general. | ||

Obviously there have been some sucessful bot lanes with a bruiser and some sucessful top lanes with an AD but they are the exception not the rule. Bruiser bot isn't bruiser+support. It's a double bruiser lane. People still run it sometimes on NA server mostly in normals. It's fucking impossible to beat as AD+support unless the two bruisers really really misplay it. Actually, you could probably run armpen runes and just farm safely but it's still fucking stupid to play against as AD+support. Won't comment on AD vs bruiser top because that match up is completely reliant on which AD carry you're running and which bruiser they're running. But there are definitely ADs who can crush bruisers in lane, and ADs who can crush various mages in lane. People run the same lane set ups both out of habit and due to the fact that sticking an AD carry with a support guarantees that the guy you absolutely have to get farmed will get farmed. | ||

But yeah, some AD's can make really good mids. Top is a lot more situational, since very few AD's are really great top (kayle, vayne, corki, teemo) but some are situational. Some are decent (cait) but not the best top only because the lane is long and it's very prone to jungle ganks/camping, which is harder to do bot lane, especially with a support to ward and cc for you. | ||

Yeah double bruiser with the second bruiser being leona//blitz//alistar//taric etc aka SUPPORTS. Generally just a kill lane that's extremely easy to gank compared to typical AD/support lanes. | ||
