Therefore, it is understandable why most people are unhappy with the current lane swap meta. From the average viewer, learning certain team comps, learning how and when to ward, learning about matchups, etc, is useful information that can be readily used in solo queue.
However, every skill that the pros possess can be translated and emulated in some way in solo queue. There is also a component of following your favorite team, which falls under the entertainment category. The large majority of viewers watch Pro-League to improve at the game or for entertainment. It almost feels like watching a different game altogether. However, very few viewers enjoy the turret pushes and the lane swap meta because it is a skill that the average player does not need to acquire.

Someone who has watched professional League of Legends for quite some time may understand why the lane swaps are good and on what circumstances teams have an incentive to do so. The average solo queue player that wants to watch LCS looking for mechanical skill does not enjoy the lane swap meta.
How do lane swaps look in the eyes of the viewers? In fact, in many occasions, teams that get either neutral objective uncontested, actually get behind because they sacrifice so much standing gold on the map. In the early stages of the game, Dragon nor Rift Herald, give teams a significant advantage. Although the game can become a farmfest, sometimes both teams have an interest in doing so because the reward of setting up a play is not greater than the risk. Typically, both teams get a turret and farm on either the top laner or the ADC. They are incredibly good for the team that wants to avoid bad lane match-ups, the game quickly develops into the middle stage, and it is an incredibly safe way of getting out of the early game for both teams.įrom the team’s perspectives, it makes it highly likely that they will transition into the mid game with an equal chance of winning the game. Lane swaps, particularly 3v0 and 4v0 turret pushes have dominated the game for quite sometime.
