League of Legends: Big lane swap nerfs in full patch 14.11 preview

League of Legends patch 14.11 preview

This change will make the tier-one turrets in both the top and mid lanes tankier in the first few minutes of the game.

This incentivizes the ADC-support duo to stay in bot lane where the towers have no fortification.
