I'm not talking about "low level" play. I'm also not talking about "dumb" tactics. I stated 2 reasons which, in my opinion, are factors in why this setup can, and does work (there's other factors, obviously). One of the reasons, as I stated, was people who play this game, in a very very VERY wide range of elo/skill levels, are generally close minded. A vast majority only play what the current meta "allows", or what they see the pro's do.
This strat is in no way a "dumb tactic", and most certainly does not only work in super low elo.
As I recall, some pro team (Dig, i thiiiiink? correct me if i'm wrong) ran a 3 support comp in a tourney. Threw 2 support champs top and mid. They won for two reasons, IMO. The same two general reasons why I stated this strat works. 1 being the champs are just good in those roles, and against the "usual" heroes that are placed in that specific lane. 2 being the other reason I stated. People don't really know what to do when faced with something so different.

Precisely. Close-minded and ignorant. For those of you who don't know, (if you must) immerse yourself in the actual definition of the word 'ignorant'. It does not mean 'stupid' or any variation of the word. Ignorant refers to people lacking knowledge about something. Though, I do hate when people choose to not learn.
I despise incessant ignorance.

That means in your opinion the major part of the comm is ignorant and even tourny folks don't know what to do?
Like I said, I agree in low/mid elo, normal and moreover in solo queue, but as mentioned above, MANY "dumb" tactics will work there.
And if you use "pro" players as an example:
Don't miss the third point: The champ/tactic matters less if the guy behind it is too good a player.
You know like playing Urgot and winning a 1vs2 that way... ofc the champ did his part, but a mid elo player can't pull this one off.

And the main point here is..
a mid elo player can't pull this one off.

No stereotype here, but had more than once a 3,4 or 5 premade frenchies that thought it would be funny to start all bot and try a double kill...
(ok it only worked 50% of the time and more than once THEY got kicked in the *** as they tried a towerdive)
