So botlane has changed a lot obviously, either we keep QQ, either we try to embrace that change. Once things are changing that way, we can't deny there's some fun in trying to understand what works or not. Currently, we're in that phase where a lot of players are trying new things at botlane. So I wanted to know guys if you've seen a particular "new duo" botlane that went well lately or simply a champion that works well on its own.

As for the typical ADC, I've seen a lot of succesfull Lucian MissFortune Draven . I've tried Sivir who is severely underated this patch, especially agains't fiddle and ap supports.

For the Ap botlane, I tried Malzahar Ziggs who went very well honestly. I've seen a combo Morgana Brand that destroyed botlane beyond imagination.

For assassin/bruisers. Yasuo combined with Alistar Nautilus Ornn (I personally suck at Yasuo so that went really bad but I've seen streams where they shined). I've recently played with an Irelia which was really strong aswell.

What about you guys? Have you seen any unconventional duos or champions coming off strong this patch on botlane? Let alone OP.GG, it's too biaised to draw any conclusions from that early in the patch and this post is really about sharing your experiences.

I think the best "supports" so far are mages. Which is really annoying for me because I like the playstyle of enchanters. Plus, no one even wants the "supportier" mages like Lux as support for some reason, I thought that would change this season, but it hasn't. Although I don't think having more competition for the botlane is a bad thing. I saw a Veigar Morganna combo that murdered everything. Morganna stunned us, Veigar made sure we couldn't escape even after the stun wore off, and jungle pretty much had to stay in our lane permenantly to stop them from running away with the snowball.

I will say that I'm a relatively new player and have a low enough MMR that I haven't seen any of the melee bot lanes people are complaining about. At least, not a lane where the primary damage dealer is melee. Support melees like Leona or Allister were always "OK" at my MMR and that really hasn't changed.

Wow. I need to try veigar! It's indeed a good idea.

I can confirm that it works, at least, if your MMR is low like mine.
