This is super interesting. I dont think they really covered the reason the second most fragile player (as they put it, I think) and the support are on the bottom side of the map, though. Honestly it goes over my head, and the soloqueue meta (or whatever) is pretty different from the tournament meta (or whatever). Traditionally, I believe, the support is put in the bottom lane because it is closest to the Dragon objective (which spawns before Baron, and gives a good advantage to the team that slays it). The support is usually the person with the most income/item slots dedicated to vision control, so theyre usually good at keeping vision on the early objective. Also, because the support tends to prioritize wards, they make laning safer for themselves and their partner. I could be way off on a lot of this info, and Im definitely leaving stuff out that either I didnt think of, or I dont know, or Im unable to write at the moment. Edit: They also dont mention that the middle lane, being the shorter lane, can get an ability reliant character ahead in levels (because the minions arrive faster on each spawn cycle - less distance to walk from base to lane). Its very good on most caster characters because their abilities get stronger with each levelup and rely slightly less on items. I could be way off here, but I think Im close.
