Just a thought about the laning meta

[NotSoClassy]

I'm not sure if it sounds insane or like a good idea but I think the offlane is the the new safelane as in where each role should go for laning

offlane now:
- has lotus pool which gives tons of regen throughout the laning stage
- is harder to gank due to the length you have to travel to get from mid to the sidelanes by walking and also if the current safelane support uses the portal they come at you facing you rather than from behind you
- large camp for pulling is still pretty easy to do
- easy access to the 7 minute wisdom rune
- 2 ancient camps if you are successful at winning the lane

safelane now: - really easy to pull small camp
- lotus pool is really difficult to access
- have access to much of the jungle after laning
- if the lane is pulled to the offlanes favour you become extremely vulnerable to a ganks that come from the portal
- closer to Roshan
- bounty rune available but quite contestable

those are quirks of laning I have found so far any other thoughts about it would be interesting

lotus pool is on the safelane side of the river

true but if the lane is pulled offlane seems to have WAY more access than the safelane

Over-complicated: in general nothing changed. If you stomped at lane you still will be (and vice versa). You just have more jungle to visit - especially distant, hardly gankable ones.

The full point of "safe lane /hard lane" is determined by where the creeps meet by default. Nothing more. If it's near your tower - safe lane. If near enemy - hard lane.

Very convincing. Lane equilibrium offers much more threat to carries. Thats amazing and overlooked by most people. Ward the twin gates.

Its kind of weird that sidelines have flying vision ward spots that can see towers. Anybody else think that a weird change?
