Emerging options for alternate bot lane? (Morde ADC-esque)

Hey there, Onwodori here.

So I have been thinking. Awhile back, Riot attempted to make Mordekaiser into the first (of maybe a few?) ADC alternatives. And he was waayyyy too strong so he got nerfed hard. However, I really liked that idea, melee range ADCs of sorts that have a defining feature that lets them still be fierce ranged opponents. A few champions came into mind that, with a few tweaks or adjustments, might make a splash in the botlane. The trick would be 'how do I make this champion work in both lanes?' as a lot of people are upset that Morde couldn't work well in top and bot.

Champions that might be good candidates for Botlane Melee Carries:

A few of these rarely see play already like Yasuo bot lanes, but champions like Pantheon and Aatrox are a little stale and with some edits could fit snuggly in bot lane I think. Aatrox is already a hyper carry but needs help as I never see him. Pantheon is fine, but like I said 'stale.'

I think how you would play champions that already function fine but would work nicely in the bot lane is to stick an extra passive on one of their abilities. Aatrox's E, his skill shot Blades of Torment, gaining the ability to 'Do double damage against minions when sharing experience with a nearby allied champion' would help him clear the minions safely. This passive might be called 'Cruelty Shared.'

Gangplank's Q might reward him a little extra gold when nearby an ally as well that perhaps he can even share with them, something like **'Hands on Deck.' **Perhaps he'd even get a passive damage (when near a support) reduction to give him incentive to consider losing experience in bot lane (But the damage reduction only applies when around a single ally so in team fights he is normal GP, preventing top lane from benefiting for free) You would go GP botlane to help with his laning as you would help a normal ADC scale up!

Yasuo is Yasuo. Next.

...Fine. Maybe his Q executes minions below a certain threshold. I don't want to buff Yasuo.

Illaoi is similarly strong already. Perhaps increased mana regeneration when near a single ally to help her use her Q more to clear? Something like 'Intent Listener' to simulate someone listening to her preaching about Nagakaborus (Or however it's spelled)

Pantheon might have his passive shield reset in a single less auto attack when near a single allied champion with a passive called 'Strength in Numbers'

Morde already functions in the botlane, getting extra experience whilst he's there.

Let me know what you all think!
