Champs that handle a 1v2 lane decently well?

Just wanted to theorycraft/test something with friends with a Roaming/Jungle support, but that leaves the problem of leaving one of us in a 1v2 lane bot. Any champs come to mind that can survive that sort of laning phase just long enough to still be useful when the team groups later?

Problem is most adcs are gold reliant so if they're behind then you cant really say much

But if you want an adc that can farm by himself safely Ezreal Caitlyn Sivir

Not necessarily an ADC. Literally any champion that can survive long enough and still be a presence when everyone groups.

are all infamous for being able to 1v2 situationally. Sometimes when they're behind they still contribute whether it be by damage utility or tanky

hope that helps

i dont recommend it because the meta exist for a reason but i found some success in Chogath when lane swaps were still a thing

See the funny thing is roaming support works for the same reasons that our current meta exists (^ ^). We just wanted to try it out because the champions and the objectives exist to justify the play style.

support roaming is ok but there are specific situations when it safe to leave your lane and do it without giving up advantage in the lane it isnt that roaming supports isnt a position it is a decision you make it like a jungler deciding to gank a lane at a certain time it isnt it self a meta defining role because it isnt a role it a decision you make on support

my plat friend who is a support main roams top after forcing early backs bottom lane on braum because it is safe as no one is in lane an the wave will be even and when the waves meet the enemy wave cant be frozen so adc can sit back and farm from a range if it takes too long for the roam

braum isnt what you think when you think roaming support but the play works because it is unexpected and unpredictable because of the fact that both parties backed bottom lane and the expected thing is to go right back to laning as they are only level 3

AA buffs on MF make tower farming easier for me than a lot of champs. Also, graves could probably hang out under the tower okay and punish dives. Either would fall to good enough opponents who dive you though. Especially when the jungle comes in for the 3 man dive.

I've been lane swapped against less than a handful of times when going top, so I have very little experience in the matter. But what I can say from experience in one game in particular, I was Jax against a Caitlyn Alistar top, farming under tower and not doing anything aggressive or risky. That is until one of them went out of lane, then I would take the chance to jump on the lone man and get kills or force them out. If it looked like I had to chase them pretty close to their tower, I would back off early and focus on farming and keeping the wave at my tower. Priority was zoning them out and increasing the gap of exp and gold, not kills. This only happened maybe about 3 times before they caught on and stuck together, but it gave me enough time to stay in lane and farm, while the enemy spent more time out of lane, allowing my team to snowball when we got to teamfighting.

This may not (and most likely does not) accurately portray Jax's strength in a 1v2, or Cait's/Ali's weakness in one, but rather outlines the importance of playing especially safe, and being able to make the best judgement calls relative to your situation.

Beyond that, I would start with champs that have an easy time farming under tower.
