There's a couple problems I see with this. 1) The entire reason for a jungler is the solo laner gets more gold and experience for themselves without another person to share it with and the jungler can roam and assist all other lanes as needed. Without a jungle and three people in a single lane, those three people will end up with significantly less gold and experience. 2) With only one carry and two supports and two bruisers/a bruiser and a tank, there's only one person putting out any damage to be concerned about. That one person's damage can be easily negated with one armor/magic resist item by each person on the enemy team. But this concept might sound better if the AP carry was solo bot and an AD carry with some poke was mid. The AP carry might have to use some mana to harass so they might need blue or at least some mana regen item. The poke would help press the advantage mid lane so the enemy mid can't just tower hug and it would be a little easier to dive for kills. I still don't like giving up the gold and experience of the jungle but more power to you if you can somehow make it work.

A better idea would be a blending of this idea with the current meta so you have a jungler and a roaming support. The jungler wouldn't be so "stretched out" having to gank all three lanes if you have a support with some hard CC like a kill lane support like Leona, Alistar, or Blitzcrank or with a more "support" type of support like Sona and Clairvoyance, the support could constantly be warding and have a little vision before entering any unmanned territory like the river or either jungle and vision of the enemy jungler, giving great map control and maybe even taking enemy jungle monsters from the enemy jungler or holding a lane occasionally for gold and experience. The roaming might leave the support a little underleveled (but what does a support really need with levels they wouldn't really be getting or depending on anyway?) and I don't know a support with heals and mana regen abilities to help an AD carry AND an AP carry sustain effectively. You would need an AP carry, an AD carry, and a top laner that can solo pretty well though and that AD carry might be pretty hard to find, maybe Tristana.
