Yeah but if you are dominating a lane to a point where you force your opponent to back more often/win clashes then it can be advantageous to keep the lane as is and freefarming instead of destroying it, allowing the opponent to freefarm further within their lane.
Though I can see how destroying all 3 would work, also ruining the life of the enemy jungler as well.
Either way I more then welcome changes in the meta strategy. It's quite dull. Infact I've been having a lot of fun doing 1v1s playing somewhat controversial line ups. You'd never find out if you just keep doing the same standard line ups.
I've found for example I beat a lot of squishy mage and tanky bruiser without gap closers as draven in lane. Also the regular line up where I play cass vs an enemy mage turns out the least favorable in most cases, getting greatly improved chances against bruisers and ADs.
Stuff like that, if only one could convince people to try new things easier.
The thing is, the changes will only happen in higher Elo and competitive play. Lower Elos barely know how to take control of the lane and keep control of the lane to starve the enemy. This type of competitive play is actually probably disastrous for the lower Elo people who use it because they don't keep track of the minimap. Many of them don't even know how to jungle, let alone knowing the jungle times for all the various jungling champions and the prediction skills necessary to prevent being ganked, even with wards. They'll try the tournament-style, sure, but then they'll be ground down by the passive farm-until-20 strategies, which are much safer and easier to execute.
Hell, I end up playing support a lot, so I know how bot lane goes. I would say around 60-75% of my AD carries push needlessly. I actually thank my lucky stars whenever I get a Miss Fortune partner because they almost always know to react immediately when I go in (as an aggressive support) and to not push the lane unnecessarily. I even try to get my partners to push to the tower when the bot lane leaves so that the lane resets and it doesn't even happen. Some of them are even afraid of being ganked despite two wards. When I play Leona, my favorite thing to do is to get one or two kills before level 7, and then if the jungler tries to gank, I kill the effing jungler. IF I get my carries to react, that is. But, usually, they don't.
Yes, Blaze have defeated the passive farm-until-20 minutes strategy, but they're also competitive players who know how to smartly push without being punished and how to trade properly in lane. Most of the more passive supports like Sona and Soraka at my Elo don't even know how to trade properly, let alone push intelligently. I'm not sure I'm even good enough to try Blaze's pushing strategy. I understand that I get tunnel vision many times still, so it's still best for me to continue the passive lane farming because I do understand the champions that I play and I can win mirror matchups pretty frequently.
TL;DR: Blaze are competitive players. The average players
so far as I've seen usually don't even know how to support properly, if my Sona games are any indication. I would actually encourage them to try Blaze's strategy, because I'm looking to learn the jungle better and pushing makes for easy ganks. They'd be taken out easily by an OddOne Maokai build and an early Oracle's. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how it seems to me. I like Maokai.
