Which MM are good right now?

So I was forced to quit league back in September of 2016 because my laptop fried. I finally got a replacement laptop just a few days ago. I knew the meta would change, but holy shit! I'm seeing people pick mages in bottom lane and get away with it. Thats not even including the Yasuo's I see who just destroy in bottom lane when you'd think they wouldn't be able to.

The thing that depressed me as a bottom lane main was that everywhere I looked I saw people who were saying that MM (Marksman) in the bottom lane were awful now and couldn't get anything done. Considering that I played Twitch, Ashe, and Varus to one trick levels before my computer combusted, it would be safe to assume that I decided not to take "no" for an answer. I started trying out different Marksman in the bottom lane and despite some other peeps claims they still felt like they had an impact. The ones I've tried so far are Miss Fortune (Feels strong in team fights but not exactly able to carry a game by herself if needed to me), Twitch (Was disgustingly strong lol), Ashe (Kind of seemed meh), and Ezreal (not entirely sure if he counts as a Marksman since he also seems to be a mage. Regardless, he felt pretty strong but not an ideal soloq pick to me).

There are a lot of champs I don't own and/or don't get around to playing. What other MM are actually good this patch? Would really like to know since I plan on starting to rank soon. Thanks!

(PS - Please tell me Varus is good. He was my favorite Marksman/Sniper before I quit and I just got a shard for his arc light skin in a chest.)

People like to exaggerate a lot. Marksmen are still viable and picking a marksmen you have experience with will get you further than picking one that's strong right now.

The best Marksman right now, or I'm going to stick with champ played bot lane would be Lucian, Draven, Sivir, Jhin, Kai sa and Ezreal. Strongest in descending order. But IMO the best ad rn is playing yasuo bot.

Depends on who you're good at. Lane dynamics bot are always weird depending on what the supports involved are, and the specific bot lane matchups. I have had plenty of good games with Corki bot (just got mastery 7 on him yesterday after picking him up only a few weeks ago), but plenty of games where I didn't do so hot, too. MF, Lucian and Ezreal seem to be on the strong side, and if you can get him rolling, Kog is destroyer of worlds, but he comes with the caveat of he MUST get ahead. Draven and Jhin of course work very well, also.
