Honestly, with the way junglers play, it's more or less analogous to trilanes. It's just instead of having one support pulling 1-2 camps for XP, they have to clear more of the jungle because the jungle is easier to clear and because the per-camp gains of just doing 1-2 camps isn't good enough.

But otherwise you more or less right now have the equivalent idea of one "babysitting" support and one "roaming" support.

Tbh, when you have a jungler like Chauster whose routine is like:
Get blue buff
Get red buff
Camp doublelift's lane for 2 minutes

That's basically a Tri-lane anyway, just instead of pulling creep camps in the jungle every once in a while, he's farming them.

I don't remember which company did it but a Lord of the Rings moba came out recently (or is coming out). It looked pretty terrible though.

Honestly with the success of League I'm pretty scared that MOBA is going to become the next "Modern Day Shooter" game where like five of them come out each year and they're all terrible. As much as I like Pokemon I'm pretty convinced a Pokemon moba would suck.

Riot won't probably bias the game more in favor of longer 1v2 phases because I imagine most people don't find getting zoned for a few minutes fun.

The counterplay is to look for things to do around the map. If they're freezing the lane it means they're not applying pressure to the tower, which means the laner is free to move around the map and gank lanes. Likewise, once the support has babysat the carry to the point where the carry can win the lane against the off-laner by themselves, it opens up the support to move around the map and gank.

You only get "zoned for a few minutes" if you don't know how to play the situation correctly. If implemented correctly, a "longer 1v2 phase" has the potential to lead to more early map movement and action.

Ideally, I'd like a game where at most 1-2 players are really static in their lanes (carry farming because they're the carry, mid farming to reach certain levels/items before becoming gank/fight ready), and the rest of the players are moving around fighting and killing each other from minute 1.
