it will either leave an ADC bot lane without help or the jungle open. either way its not going to be worth much of anythng over the current meta unless a team is dead set on shutting down the top laner. even then it allows too much snowball for the open spot you sacrifice to put a 5th man in lane. it would be better to have a jungler start in teh bot jungle and rotate up and then help out lane.
Since supports can get quite a bit of gold now, i could see this happening.
2-1-2 lanes would leave the jungle wide open, but in terms of gold, it is entirely possible that the non-jungling team would get a gold lead, since supports can actually make money now, and having a duo lane top will lock down gold income that a solo lane could get. Depending on the duo top lane composition, it may be hard to successfully gank, too.
The one nasty drawback that has always come to hurt non jungling teams has to do with buff & neutral creep control though.
Also, the mid lane may feel particularly unsafe, seeing that there would be few windows of opportunity for ganks.

I came here curious what you all thought of this idea, if any of you guys have tried it (either before or after 3.14) and any combos you guys could come up with. I have a few lanes I want to try out.
Any thoughts?
