Multiple ADCs?
Judging from the amount of pro teams running an AD caster midlane and an auto-attacker bot, should we expect to see this in random games now? I know having an extra ADC top is common, so can we expect tri-ADC games in the near future?

There are two very important things to think about when it comes to running 2 or even three ADC comps, and whether or not these kind of comps should be viable. The first is the fact that all the ADs seen out of bot normally fulfill some other role. Ezreal and Corki mid function as mages, even when built AD. Quinn is an assassin, whether you take her mid or top. The exception to this is Vayne top, which notably is both A) not common, and B) not very good. The reason Vayne top isn't very good is that she doesn't fill another role for the team, and cripples your composition. This brings us to the second thing to consider when it comes to multi-adc comps - your team needs to support it. In most cases, running double ADC means that you lack in early-mid game damage, and that either your top or jungle needs to pick up the slack when it comes to magic damage.
Blue Ezreal mid was already a common enough pick in soloQ. I'd expect to see a couple more in the next few days after his 10/1 performance in LCS, but expect it to die out a bit after a couple of days.
It's nice to bring out now and then as a surprise to your opponents. But don't expect it to take hold. Bruisers are too strong early and assassins are too strong mid for a multi adc-meta to take hold.
Well corki is a good adc, because he's much harder to itemize against compared to most others. Its still nice to have magic damage on your team though (which is the only bad thing about AD mid, as thats usually the place you get your magic damage)
