Topic of the Week - Blue Side Advantage

[quote=Satella]Upgrading the initial spawn timer doesn't resolve the issue of them being able to take the camp continuously every time they can push the wave out, however. My lane swap suggestion does.[/quote]

[quote=Arkharan]As I was saying it's not like it gives that much of a big advantage, it gives that early lvl 2 meaning YOU DON'T WANT TO FIGHT THEM AT LVL 2, so you play passive. Otherwise all the other golems, you stop it by just pushing the lane and if you can't do that well fuck, they're 1 lvl over you, big deal.[/quote]

[quote=Satella]Pushing the lane actually makes them lose less XP when they come back to lane. Ideally you want them to push the lane so much that they miss half a creep wave of CS for taking golems. Doesn't always happen, but when it does, if you push the lane back then your creeps don't die and the enemy still gets the XP/CS.[/quote]

[quote=Arkharan]If you push the lane, when they go for it, they take damage from golem and they're like "hey our lane is pushed we need to go back" ending up not doing any golems, taking damage and losing time all around.[/quote]

[quote=ReaperDante]The major map advantage to blue side is the hud. Top lane has a problem with hud when it is trying to openly push top tower. The only fix is to unfix the camera and scroll down. But then you can't see if anyone is sneaking up from above you. Also bot lane if pushed under tower has a large problem with the hud being in the way and when forced under tower unless scrolling you cannot see the enemy because of the hud. the only fixes I see would be if you were able to move the hud to the top when playing games. This would be tremendously helpful during beginning game and can always be switched back for mid to late game[/quote]

[quote=IAmByakuya][quote=DisturbedFox] [quote=IAmByakuya] The Golems problem can be solved by making them spawn at 2:10 or 2:20 so if Blue side decides to take them they will get problems in lane Still Baron is easier to check in the purple side while Dragon is easier to check on blue side And i find ganks easier to do in the blue side for some reason [/quote] I do agree that making them spawn later will help but blue side bot lane will still have the advantage as they can kill golems after every 3rd wave(cannon minion) without losing any cs at all. [/quote] But the advantage isnt as major as having them right at the start[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]@Pheyniex 1) People in solo queue are very resistant to change 2) People in solo queue (and in general) do not know how to play 1v2 lanes properly 3) Most importantly, 1v2 lanes are really boring for both sides and no one wants to do it Playing passively and giving up brush control is not a solution, it's losing the lane. I've been in that situation and it's very hard to come back against a skilled bot lane once you've been pushed to tower and their support is camping in the brush with pinks.[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]^ i agree 1) if you resist change/can't adapt, you probably won't deserve more than silver 2) might not be easy, but another distinguishing trait of decent players 3) don't play competitive. i actually didn't care about going top 1v2, last time it happened against me. i let them farm, extend, i still managed to get some xp, but barely any gold. after a while i got a free lane to farm because the swap backfired on their other lane. blind pick, btw. i keep my opinion. the majority of players might want to own 24/7, but this game is more than that. honestly, if it was just about the lane matchups i probably wouldn't play LoL.[/quote]

[quote=jayfuryan]The lack of sight is a big issue with me. I see that when i'm playing on "blue side" it has the vision I want, since i play cam-lock, that "purple side" doesn't give me. When i'm at bot or top its extremely difficult for me to see skill shots un-like "blue side". I find it harder to gank as well when i jungle and find out that its harder to level too. "blue side" has the advantage of vision to see skill shots even when cam-locked, they can level faster (whether it be jungler or lane), it's much easier to gank cause of the sight. It's like Reading a book, its better to read it left to right then right to left. Everything thing is just so confusing, mainly the VISION! and the leveling.[/quote]
