Why I can't just play any bruiser with a support in bot lane?
Mordekaiser can't be the only one just because he levels faster and "muh dragon xD"
I imagine there are some beefy champs that can just come back with a decent item and start face-tanking an early-game ADC and controlling the lane
Crett3 votesLet me tell you a few good ones
This one is noteworthy for the ridiculously hard engage and synergy the two champs have (stuck in jarvan's cage? can't avoid leona's ult)
Never facecheck another bush
Archon X2 voteslol what
the enemy adc will have range, and a support to prevent you from face-tanking
Penta Penguin1 votesExcept you're a front-liner and your whole purpose in life is to rush the carry and force a fight
Archon X1 votes...
maybe if you're fed and you have dead man's plate and merc treads and some other tanky shit but if you try that bs against me as soraka, or leona, or braum, or janna, or essentially anyone there's absolutely no way you're getting within melee range of my adc without taking a shitload of poke and cc from me, not to mention all the ranged harass from the adc themselves.

Aaand your melee bot lane is now useless :D
Penta Penguin1 votesalso I get a support too sucka
Archon X1 votesaight go find a support and get me an adc and we'll do a 2v2 bot lane and see what happens
Penta Penguin1 votesget your own adc
lB2kGRlc8y1 votesYea, i want to see the blitz darius lane against whatever the fuck you have to offer.
MLDzXnRRR2 votesYou can, if you have a people who don't rage for not picking ADC.
Critmaster Garen2 votesbruisers have their main powerspike midgame and are xp/level dependent and a bit less item dependent than adc. sharing a duo lane sets them back.
same reason why you dont play mages with a support on bot lane.
also, if you dont have an adc somewhere else, like quinn on top or kindred, youre gonna have a hell of a time pushing turrets by midgame or taking objectives like baron or drake. meaning the game drags out until lategame, where fighters fall off and adc get dominate.

this is also true. a double bruiser bot lane is hit or miss. either youre completely snowballing and stomping the lane, or you get poked and kited the shit out of you and lose hard.
melees cant even cs under their turret against an adc. another adc can due to the extra distance they have from their opponent.
lB2kGRlc8y1 votesAnnie Veigar Velkoz Zyra... These are all mages.
Critmaster Garen2 votesAnnie Veigar Velkoz Zyra... These are all mages.
those are played AS supports, not WITH supports what op was asking. a mage/support or bruiser/support lane might win early, if they dont get stomped. but they start losing by midgame.
the only reason morde works is due to his xp passive and the fact that he can use ghosts of drake or the opposing adc to siege turrets as good as they do.
lB2kGRlc8y2 votesIt's something I've been saying for a while, the kind of comp that counters the currently enforced picks. The need for a squishy adc and support in botlane is what makes blitz seem op, even though hooking a darius or jax is suicide. It's the reason Veigar was taken bot and saw any success at all, and was subsequently nerfed.
TheXtractor1 votesThey work fine in lane. its what after the lane comes that is the problem when a team doesnt have a ranged carry.
Penta Penguin1 votes[spoiler]jungle Kindork[/spoiler]
A Small Dog1 votesWell if you have a Kindred Jungle then arguably yes the team does have a ranged carry, but you won't know how the lane will go until you try. So why not set up a team like that with some friends and see how it goes? Might be fun.
TheXtractor1 votesThats like saying Quinn top is your ranged ADC. I dont think its that effective :P
Penta Penguin1 votesQuinn top would be the safest choice to pick your AD carry actually, she'll just bounce off your shit all day any time you try to touch her and isn't easily zoned because of it, plus vision buff if she chooses to get aggressive, can ward off a counter-gank
Roaming mid is great fun too
LegendaryLemur1 votesI believe the theory is that morde's ghost dragon can siege turrets when you don't have an adc a marks(wo)man.
ZT Xperimentor1 votesBecause most of the community is ignorant sheep who avoid everything that's not 'pro' build like the plague :/
lB2kGRlc8y2 votesSame noobs who think Blitz is overpowered just because he shits on that terrible composition by design.
Archon X2 votesyou don't even play ranked bro
go play ranked with your anti-meta playstyle and see how far you get
things that are meta are such because they work well to win games
ZT Xperimentor1 votesIf I wanted to play the same thing every game, I wouldn't be here; but the yes-men like you who can't think for yourselves, are the first in line to throw away your wallets.
