In what way is the mechanic broken? As I previously said the devs could have implemented anti-laming tools 10 years ago like making the boars spawn right next to your tc or some ****. They don't do that because that would be lame as hell.
Up until the last paragraph it sounded like you were on my side but then you had to throw it all away...
Let me tell you something though.
I happen to be a little bit of a fanboy of yours and thus I have watched your stream quite a bit.
And many many times, specially in team games you will ask your team mates: "are they laming? I don't want to lame if they are not going to lame."
Now why is that? If you find laming ok why would you wait for them to lame first?
I'll tell you why: because deep down (or maybe not even that deep) you know that if you lame you're abusing a broken game mechanic and winning an unfair advantage over your opponent very early on that can (and many times will) be decisive. And because you're a competitive guy, you want to win your games fair and square and not rely on something that is (almost exclusively) luck based.
