Meteos hit the nail on the head about lane swaps-they are fun when its novel, not so much when its every game. I will say though that TL does lane swaps very methodically-using them for playmaking instead of for avoiding confrontation. So their iteration of swaps is more entertaining than some other teams.

The lane swap isn't the entertaining part. It's all about how well they execute and control the map from it. It would be even cooler to watch them control the map similarly WHILE seeing Yeon and CoreJJ body their lane then Core going mid to get APA ahead. It's not boring per se. It's just the less exciting option of the two (lane swap vs standard lane).

Regarding's Azael's laneswap argument, IMO laneswaps are absolutely fun to watch, as long as they aren't happening every single game. I would say the exact same thing for standard lane setups. I would be pretty disappointed if Riot "killed" laneswaps like Azael argued for last week. It was definitely a bit too laneswap-favored at MSI, but we've been on standard lanes only for years, I was super hyped when they started happening in spring. I think they have the balance down pretty good atm

I have been watching LCS and LCK for 11 years. I love lane swaps. Anything that adds complexity and depth to the strategy teams implement should be encouraged. Lane swaps make drafts more interesting. The pressure of a potential swap during draft can act as a psuedo-ban against toplane champs that don’t survive 1v2. Swapping is an additional skill that separates good teams from great teams. There are many reasons TL is the best team in the LCS right now and one of them is the fact that they have honed this skill, unlike many other teams. I liken it to a development within the NFL in 2012-2013. The 49ers started implementing the run-option on nearly every play. If the QB didn’t see a good pass, he would just run the ball. They combined this with fakes to the HB to create a truly unpredictable play pattern. This strategy took them all the way to the Superbowl. By 2014, nearly every team was experimenting with this play style. And to be frank, hearing casters and analysts dog on their own sport for boring them, doesn’t make it less boring for everyone else. In other words, get with the times. Swaps have been here for years and they are not going away. They won’t go away due to balance changes. They won’t go away because of negative sentiment from a vocal minority. They are here to stay because they give great teams an edge over good teams and the truly competitive teams will always seek avenues that push them further ahead of the pack. Stop trying to force change before understanding what you would be changing.

LIke bots mid or tops mid, or like tops and sup in one lane or somethin (again I dont even play the game so I dunno if those are even options). I also think it's strange that Kobe says he'd be shocked if the support meta changes before worlds. I think that happens quite often. Like, didn't that happen to Sven last year? He was cooking with enchanter supports and then the meta changed to engage and he was suddenly on the backfoot trying to prep that for worlds but didn't have enought time since the season was basically over right?

I'd counter them with why not just start the match with the midlaners at level 4, bot lane at level 3 and toplaners at level 1. Because until a laneswap has stopped its basically just afk farming because bot lane doesn't want to do the important part of laning phase

It's cope and weird to see people belittle TL figuring out how to access and utilize resources better than other teams. You all as analysts cannot be this bullheaded about the base concepts of League of Legends. It's kinda getting on my nerves at this point. I think you all need to start back at square one of what league of legends is, and stop thinking the game HAS to be "standard" of any sense. The game is about allocation of resources. The 3 most basic of them being: EXP, Gold, and Time. The next thing you have is how do you access those resources? Time goes by as the game happens, everything you do "cost" time. EXP is accessed by being at certain locations as certain actions happen (Enemy dies near you, you kill a ward, kill jungle monsters, etc). Gold is accessed by actively dealing the final damage to reduce an enemy/neutral unit to 0HP, as well as passively as the game goes on. The goal of each team should therefore be to look at both teams of 5 champions and understand how each team wants to allocate those resources and at what times during the match will those champions be strong, if given those resources. After understanding that, the next step a team that wants to win should do is they should determine how both (1.) they will safely and securely reach their gold/exp breakpoints, and utilize them to gain more strength to pressure more of the map, while (2.) also thinking about how to mitigate the perceived opposing strategy. Ideally, one would come up with a strategy that achieves both, in a consistent and convincing fashion. Therefore, lvl 1, it would behoove a team that understands this to put their thumb on the scale to influence the snowball of those advantages as early as possible. What resources do you have to do that? Well, the 5 individual champions themselves and where you place them on the map! For years, lazy thought was that you access all lanes at once and get exp as such with equal access. If one team has stronger champions at this avenue, why would one let them have access to this advantage? The next step in thought, though, is you don't let someone hit you with skillshots, so why should you let someone get advantage over you in an unfavorable lane matchup? Asking you to look at the game and explain why things are "good" and "bad" with these frameworks doesn't feel like it's a big ask. I'm not lookin' at our boi CaptainFlowers to be the analytical mastermind (We stan Cap in this house: Great Lakes Represent!). My small callout is that the narrative that is built by the cast is done because you all don't want to have to talk about the game or think about it that granularly (Sans Emily, our Queen of Lane Assignments).
