How Does The Anti Lane Swap Mechanic Work?

My most detailed guide yet, put a lot of effort into this one and I hope you will enjoy it. Also for the notification squad I have made a promo code AZZAPP-ZAPZAP for 50% off on first 100 students:

200 years of experience weren't enough to figure something to combat the lane swap

[OhBrother]

League is at its core a strategy game. When riot implements these sort of solutions, it removes players' ability to strategise and makes the game linear and boring. At least, in my opinion.

[AidanWR]

Even as a short term solution, this is way too bananas. And the circles aren't even correct. There's a clip of Pinkward getting the anti-lane swap by the wall opposite of the red buff pit

[DGlattiator]

Leagues early days thrived on innovation. There was a point where junglers didn't exist. Just insane sustain builds allowed it to exist. Warwick, Nunu, Nasus, and Shaco(due to JitB.). Back then, it was even normal to see 2-1-2 or 1-2-2 in lanes.


Some of it was toxic like the Taric and Yi Funnel.
Some were fun, like Blue Ezreal builds. Off Meta was Meta.
AP Ashe or Trynd. Tank Teemo and Fizz.

That was all done by innovation. This current state of the game is a group who's given up and lost the spark of creativity while also condoning others who try thinking outside the box.

The Baus is literally one of the few players we have left who actually succeeded in breaking the meta, and he has been banned constantly for it.

they didnt even bother designing a proper anti lane swap area and just made a big ass circle because they were too lazy...

[flashfreeman]

So a mobile game does this more elegantly where in the bottom lane you get extra gold from minions so it guarantees gold reliant characters to farm while the other lane which is top gives extra XP from minions so the top laner is always a level ahead in case of swapping therefore less divable

[alexz]

To clarify: its from 1:30 to 3:30 in top. In mid it ends at 2:15, so a lvl 2 support roam is still possible

[nicolasreveck]

I remember when someone made a post suggesting big walls around every lane and these walls would fall after 10 minutes. Leaving laners play out the early game by themselves and make junglers 1v1 for resources. He claimed that ganks and outside help was cheating and "cowardly". Everyone was laughing at the post and the guy.
Almost 10 years later Riot had almost the exact idea but without the extra work of making the walls, hard coding it raw and allowing junglers to gank so they dont get bored by just farming

[elvisoprea]

First day of the patch, I had 2 junglers, I was playing mid (red side), one of them took the enemy raptors camp and while he was doing that, i was getting 1 gold per minion killed in the mid lane... Great job, RIOT!

4 smites 4 jungle item, 5 man top, we ball

[bruhmoment]

I found this out the hard way after coming back from a long break. I wanted to 1st wave gank mid as neeko and maybe just suprise them and win the lane for my team mate and got hit by the lane swap thing. Kind of a bummer.

[tomgalt]

Since the lane swap mechanics happen because of pro play then why does riot simply not make a tournament rule about no rule swapping? They literally fined teams for surrendering and then they made it clear that u can't surrender and that u can't use certain skins cause they are pay2win. Then why not just make a rule about no lane swapping for pro players and if they do they lose and get disqualifed?

[patatopeeler]

Honestly if youre gonna hard code the solution at least use rectangles so you don't kill invades too

[doodles]

They went so hard on it for proplay. They couldn't think of a better solution, so they hit lane swaps with an axe, to make sure pro players can't lane swap. They did say it's only temporary, so hopefully they fix it soon.
I think it's fine. Overkill sure, but only happens super early in the game. How many games do regular players have where they cheese top/mid.

Ready to lock tf in whenever it's an Azzapp Yap + PASTEL GHOST short

[chi-kenguerriero]

I can understand thhis new mechanic, the only thing i would change is the range of the circle. It doesn't make sense to be that big, if it was a bit more limited to the lane itself i think it would be better ( especially in mid that is less affected than the toplane to the lane swap)

[alexandersalazar]

After 3:30, my support left me and stayed mid the whole game because I questioned him why he did not push the few amount of minions that can result to a freeze. The freeze happened and I had a hard time.

[lmntsgames]

I think what they should do is make a "lane swap" item just like support and jg item.. if you have lane swap item you gain full xp and gold whenever minions (not jg creeps) die in a circle centered around the owner.. it also debuffs enemies inside the radius, making them take ramp up damage from towers twice as fast whenever there are 2 or more enemy champs inside the lane swap item radius.. only one lane swap item is available.. lane swap item will be disabled if someone not holding a jg item comes into your radius.. lane swap item will eventually be destroyed and be removed from inventory after a certain in game time has passed..

[aidanwu]

welp time to pull out the double jungle

[unimportantname]

They did say its planned to only be temporary
