User blog comment:Fistful of Force/Lane swapping: The forgotten tactic/@comment-5514182-20130201230826/@comment-4814368-20130201233833

Yea, I pretty much agree with this. This is partially because 1) People use lane-swapping as a late-tactic, not an initial strategy and 2) they don't communicate about a lane they are having difficulty with until they've already died 2-3 times. If people know they might have a hard time laning against a certain champ, they should say the minute the game starts. If they struggle or die even once, swap out. The risk is better than a sure loss.
