{2-1-2} Offense/Defense

[quote=Staise757]High ladies/Gentlemen, Im new to the Mobafire community but I just wanted to get your opinion on something. Instead of the usual meta, which from top lane to bottom lane I would call a 1-2-2 set up, which would mean you have 1 top laner, 1 mid laner, 2 bottom laners, and a free roaming jungler. I was thinking; How well would a 2-1-2 set up last against the meta. If you had 2 top, 1 mid, 2 bottom, with no jungler at all?. Rift harold is a new thing now, so if double targons. So do you think, with champions like Shen or carrying a few teleports would make it work? Im not sure how no jungle pressure would be in high levels.[/quote]

[quote=DBlakes30]Something else to look at. Even though you have a double Targons to share gold, you have all 6 of your jungle camps just being wasted. As well as giving up the scuttle crabs and most likely rift herald and dragon. And you are giving up a hefty amount of gold to another supporting style laner unless you share the farm completely. Then you have two half farmed champions compared to a fully farmed champion. And unless you have Kalista, Cho'Gath, or Nunu a good jungler is going to smite any neutral objectives away since you no longer have someone with Smite. This is on top of the lack of jungle pressure, although in a way its being made up for in the sense of teleport pressure but that is much more easily telegraphed.[/quote]
