This is just a friendly reminder to all the kids out there playing that got so excited when Ziggs Bot became popularized. That there are very SPECIFIC reasons why Ziggs bot actually works, and I admit that it has worked against me as well... (Although it isn't as OP as the kids make it out to be, as I have dumpstered Ziggs bot numerous times). Since then, I have laned against multiple "random" bot lane picks from kids thinking "Ziggs works so I can take ANYTHING bot lane lul"and after shitting on them in lane, I'm pretty sure all of them regretted doing so.

Sion bot does NOT work, Gangplank bot does NOT work, Yasuo bot does NOT work, Sona bot does NOT work, I could go on (I really could.. I have laned against more unfortunately...) but in case you haven't caught on yet... It DOESN'T work.

Which brings me to the random Support picks now. For the kids that probably only follow whatever is "Meta" for Support picks without taking a second to actually think WHY... There are specific reasons why Nontraditional Support Mages are currently strong (Brand, Zyra, Malzahar etc). That doesn't mean you can pick ANY mage as a Support and expect to see success. Now fortunately whenever I see this it usually happens on the opposing team. Which is totally fine for me, I'll take my free win and I wont complain. The problem is when MY Autofilled Support decides to do it... and despite communicating my dissatisfaction and even being willing to trade positions, negotiations fails. Which ultimately leads to me to just dodging the Q, as I don't want to put myself through 20+ min of tilting stress.

So while I was waiting for my dodge timer to finish, I decided to make a post on the forums. Either way to the players that willingly want to pick "" & "" against me and my support, I'm ok with that...Thanks. But to my future Supports (Primary or Autofill).... PLEASE STOP.

Who cares, let people experiment with picks. Be happy that youre apart of the evolution of bot lane. Instead of the stale gameplay standard adc/support picks offer

I've seen Morde bot, Ziggs bot, Rengar bot, etc. ADCs just aren't fun to play anymore, I guess. If your autofilled support won't trade positions with you, are you sure they're autofilled? I've seen Yasuo bot work.

Not to sound like a prick, but why not turn this into a constructive thread? Explain why these things only work sometimes and not always. I'm sure you have good reasoning but just as a bystander this looks like a salty Q_Q post about how everyone needs to hump the meta. It doesn't help that you called everyone a "kid."

Soma bot does not work? LMAO you need to play against my ap sona before trying to say that. Just build eye of the watchers then full ap and laugh your ass off as your q can pretty much one shot anyone and your speed increase and heal will keep a competant adc alive for a very long time.

Please stop playing Malzahar support. I don't want him to get nerfed anymore, they won't revert him or change the passive so try keep him away from the nerf bat.

Poor Malz...

The champions you mentioned indeed do not work well, but some apcs do work bot really well.

Yas ADC beat Doublelift on I think Cait, although I really don't advise it

As long as they do it in normals and the AI game, I have no real problem with the oddball picks. Just keep them out of the ranked games with that stuff - unless they have rock solid proof that their goofy idea works.

Noticed that you mentioned a Kayle bot carry ... thanks for the interesting idea... :)

Yasuo is actually the highest winrate adc in the game but is picked so rarely there that stats don't show for it on most sites; but the stats we do have peg it at around 55-56%. http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/yasuo

Morde bot is pretty high up there as well, and has been for ages.
