honestly if a guy I had never heard of came in here and said that they might have gotten a real answer but you've made so many anti lol and generally trolly comments that I can't see how anyone wouldn't just take it as an lol rip
that said if you hate mid/top just ask for other shit, they are the most popular by far I doubt you'd be "forced" to play mid/top in more than 5% of your games.

Matchups. The feeling of being able to crush your opponent 1v1, and if good enough, being able to 1v2 the opponent and the jungle. It's not for everyone, but I enjoy it because of the matchup variety and all of the different champs I can play there.

I like mid because it's the easiest lane to convert your own lead into leads for the other lanes
dunno if that helps.

Well if you get camped top by jungle it's a pretty shitty and boring game for you even if you play well and don't die, and even if the rest of your team wins. Mid shouldn't be a problem though. You have way more options than simply staying in lane, such as farming jungle or roaming.

Can't play manly shit and tower dive people all day, with wards only useful to tell you "the jungler's there, get your adrenaline rush" rather than "no, no, don't play aggro now" when you're bot lane. Well, you can when you play Leona I guess.

I applaud fostering talent, I just wonder how effective it will be given how under developed LoL is, analytics-wise. The closest we have to things like the Liquipedia Strategy section or the TLFE is what we've done here in our TL articles. Unless I guess coL is ok with their LoL team doing nothing but Double AP-Skarner, low economy and Triple Teleport Promote. That would be kinda cool actually lol.

"Fun" is a subjective term. If you don't like those lanes, don't fucking play them.
Stop.

I would also assume that pro teams might be willing to scrim them if they have a sponsor rather than just some random no name team. From what I've read, you can analysis a lot in SC without actully playing, in LoL you kinda just gotta jump in and see what works. But having access to scrim good teams would be helpful.
