Your strategy sounds good on paper, but it really depends on how you pick the team:

For example: If you have 3 mid, you can run promote, push down the tower and roam, which is a strategy of CLG NA at the moment (bot lane)

Also, the major flaw in your strategy is the opposing jungler. If they run a stronger late game jungler that clears fast (udyr, skarner, noctourne), they clear and hit 6 actually faster than your midlaner does: Blue--&gt; lvl 2, Red --&gt; lvl 3, small camps plus another blue --&gt; lvl 4, small camps plus red --&gt;5.

For your strategy to work, you need heavy cc and someone who is naturally tanky, ie. Leona. However, there is never a way leona can win a 1v1 with udyr or noctourne, so this wouldn&apos;t work. If you bring 2 support style champions, with your mid, you could theoretically execute this with great precision; however, that is not the case, the map is too expansive to ward all over, plus the fact that they are easily going to win mid if their jungler sees this and donates blue early on.

Another counter strategy would be for a extremely quick dragon; as you do not have smite to stop it, and if they run a duo bot lane, chances are they will be able to push down your bottom tower or get an early dragon. Their top laner could easily be babysat by a lvl 2 mundo or lee sin gank (provided they chose those 2 junglers) and they can win top because your support for top or bot lane is minimal and there is no pressure felt; so champions that are to be played agressively easily can play hyper agressively, thus really setting you back.

Champions that counter your team (flat out) : Irelia, Olaf, Lee sin, Udyr, Gangplank, Vladimir, Kennen (more)

Funny thing is the champions you believe are good for the strategy, are actually able to counter your strategy at the exact same time.
