After a devastating 3-0 loss to T1, G2's top laner BrokenBlade is calling on League of Legends developers to shake up the lane-swapping meta that took over the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational.

"I hope [lane-swapping] gets removed because I don't think it's very fun or entertaining to watch as a viewer, probably. Because most of the time there's not much going on. It really undermines the purpose of matchups and how champion drafting works," BrokenBlade said in an interview with esports.gg after their elimination match against T1 at the 2024 MSI.
"Of course lane swaps don't belong in the game. [Riot Games] specifically tried to take that out of the game a few years ago," he said, reflecting on the current hit-or-miss strategy.
G2 Esports pioneered lane-swapping in Europe, a strategy where players switch lanes along the sidelines to avoid the vulnerabilities of certain champions in the early game. When done well, it can turn matchups in their favor later on.
