Why do the "ADC" and his altruistic buddy use the bottom lane instead of the middle?

I'm sorry, you are doing a good job of explaining it, and perhaps I should play more (I will not) before asking dumb questions, but it's all just THIS far out of my range of comprehension.


Because since the middle lane is able to "gank" (ambush an enemy for a kill) both the top and bottom lanes, you want someone there with the best potential to do that. Putting a solo mage there with high burst damage is the best option for that. When the middle lane travels top or bottom for a gank, you only have a few seconds before the enemy runs back to their turret. Burst damage is much better for that than the gradual dps of an ADC.

Honestly though the games where people break this mold I have really seen much of a difference in overall performance. Nobody but the top 10% players know enough to exploit subtle weaknesses like that.
