Hey guys, if there is a team of Thresh and Quinn vs Lucian and Sona bot lane, can Quinn beat Lucian? 1v1? Also in 2v2 who would win?

This depends on so many factors. In general supports skill level, kit synergy, and lastly the place both supports occupy in the "support triangle" are all factors that need to be considered for this match up. With the recent buffs to spellthiefs Sona's actually a much more competitive support this season, at least for now. Thresh is always great as he's got good CC and Utility but lacks damage to get more than one target down with his ADC.

So Assuming skill is equal, in terms of kit synergy, they're equal, quinns bursty style along with thresh's CC can take down a target fairly quickly, whereas sona and lucian both have strong poking tools that can keep multiple targets in the red to protect themselves from being engaged on. (in this form protect really means to bully their opponents so they're too low to engage without a serious threat of dying).

The support triangle, however, dictates that a skilled Sona player will actually beat thresh in lane (at least in terms of play style), and should Sona do her job right, she'll allow Lucian to easily faceroll lane. that's it for the 2v2

In a 1v1 if lucian saves his dash until after quinn vaults he can keep her in range so that she can't "blind him" into being unable to attack. Quinns new smokescreen blind actually means that attackers that stay close to her can keep on fighting her even though she's CC'ed them. Lucian's burst combo takes a bit longer than quinns, though fast acting can have his passive clean her up before she reacts. In a 2v2 situation, Quinn has the Faster burst combo, but lucian's combo deals more damage should he survive her burst long enough. It really comes down to what they have built so far, and who gets the jump on who.
