I can't remember the last time I had more fun. Dodging skillshots, exploiting their weak points. If I killed them I outplayed them. If they killed me they outplayed me. No abuse of whatever is best in the meta. I encourage anyone who reads this to play weird bot lane duos and deviate from ADC and Support whenever they can (in norms). Hopefully we can crack this boring meta and find a new type of bot lane.

Not all off--meta bot lanes are enjoyable. ^^this here botlane is THE. BOTLANE. FROM. HELL.
Would play this bot with my friend all the time. The amount of shit we would get from enemies telling us how miserable we made the game was unbelievable.

DeynaTaggerung1 votesPlayed against that lane, thankfully was on 
so thankfully I was able to block what I couldn't dodge (mostly). I can't imagine the horror on any other adc :P

Add in Darius, and you can chain-pull them :D :D :D
3TWarrior1 voteslol, how about ? he can root them in place, stun, slow, and he also has a drag (but it's lower range and pulls the two together instead of to him)
lol, fear the hooks with this setup and jungle nautilus XD, oh, then Ahri mid for E pulls instakill XD, hmm, who else to be evil...several mentioned Darius
lol, I so want to see this in a match XD 5 pull champs, you will never escape! XD

. We just waited in the bush closest to their turret at level 1.
As soon as the enemy 
got to the bush we killed her. Literally 2 seconds. She came back to lane and we did the exact same thing, insta-gibbed at the bush. It was so great.
Darth Pixy Misa4 votesHere is a Favorite Bot Lane poison combo:
DiminishedAC4 votesPeople keep using "meta" like it's a bad thing. It is literally the most optimal strategy that we know of based on the game's current state (the definition of meta-game).
The reason we have an ADC is simple: a standard build ADC has the most damage potential at full items, regardless of level. We put a support with said ADC because, as I said, leveling up doesn't do as much as getting items. We put mages and casters in the middle lane alone because they scale really well with both levels AND gold. Putting them in the middle of the lane allows them to use their earlier power to dominate the entire map, rather than only their lane. The jungler is meant to give map presence throughout and maintain objective control. These champions have generally good scaling, but have a kit that benefits other players more (CC and the like). Now, our top laner is just another body for most of the game. In our current meta, being tanky and with plenty of CC is favorable, so they can have the mid-game teamfighting presence that teams need.
The meta exists for a reason -- because it is the most effective way to win. Having a good mix of both magic damage and physical damage, a presence throughout the stages of the game, and objective control is a base strategy that has been proven.
HOWEVER!!!! This isn't the be-all-end-all strategy; far from it! I'm a huge fan of playing against the meta, mostly because I don't play to win; I play to have fun. I recently picked up AD Malzahar Jungle -- and I love it! Did you know that Malzahar's voidlings' base attack damage at max rank are the highest in the game at level 18? They're only beaten by Baron Nashor. Pretty crazy, man.

PolarTroop2 votesBreaking the meta is fun for me. I honor ever one on my team who does not complain when i do it. Non-Meta junglers are the best
Kendra2 votesSounds like fun! How did they work out the logistics of it? Who took farm, did either of them build sightstone, etc?
SlytherinUmbreon1 votesI dunno what they did, but it'd probably be better for Xerath to take the farm, since he scales better with AP. The reason why Vel'cro became a support was because he does well with just CDR. Just my guess
Aych Pii2 votesXerath support was briefly a thing, too.
IcyPepper3 votesIn a comp like that, it'd probably be better for the jungler to build sightstone.
Bot isn't always in charge of vision :3
ShinobisDemon1 votesSounds like fun! How did they work out the logistics of it? Who took farm, did either of them build sightstone, etc?
i would assume that Xerath would get half the farm. No one would build sightstone but they would both upgrade wards. and um, Kills would be first come first serve.

3TWarrior2 votesactually, in norms I enjoy dumping the jungler role and instead having 2 or 3 ADCs bottom. your opponents literally can't overcome your firepower and you get fed like crazy. if all 3 have face of the mountain's building part it means you can double the gold of the minion and divide it among you and another of your carries and heal your teammate for free. At early game, the heal is far larger than life steal sustain given by doran's
by the time the enemy jungler intervenes (if they have one), you get to the point that even if they kill you, your team took 2 of the 3 people in the lane as kills for themselves and destroyed the tower
it's a very fun setup especially for longer ranged carries like kogmaw and caitlynn

Zilean would throw a bomb onto our minion, then Sion would shout the minion to us. Wasn't the most effective, but still incredibly fun.

I played against an Annie/blitz bot once and that was pretty terrible. It was either hook into stun, or stun into guaranteed hook.
3TWarrior2 votesdon't forget that blitz's hook stuns you too
Biffolo1 votesExcept that adc and support bot is still the best one statistically speaking. You aren't going to change that, sorry.
Wheatloaf1 votesIn the spirit that, simply replacing the ADC (or moving them mid. A lot of marksmen can actually perform reasonably well in the short lane, especially the more caster-like ones.) with a more consistent damage APC (
, 
, , and are all good examples) can keep more or less the same damage output you'd expect from a bot lane, while switching the damage type/mechanics of the lane. It hold almost no actual strategic value, but it's not inherently detrimental to your team, and it can be fun.

Well, then you lose out on ranged objective taking power if you drop the adc. Moving the adc mid can be quite risky, seeing as it makes them more susceptible to be attacked from more places. And even if it isn't detrimental, if it holds no stretegic value then it's a waste of time IMO.
3TWarrior1 votesjinx: there is no ganking her. She gets a kill, she is uncatchable, she doesn't get a kill, she throws down her flame chomps for an easy root. I haven't tried it, but with long range AAs and aoe burst, she could probably pull it off if she wasn't facing Xerath or Ziggs, but once she hit like level 3, she'd probably be able to take ziggs, not sure. Xerath has too much crowd control for her though, but he's a rare appearance nowadays

No, jinx is gankable so long as it's set up properly. People just need to realize when facing a cheese lane to just farm from your maximum range, don't pick fights and wait until one of them becomes useless. Push into mid game with it being a 4v5 and face stomp your opponents. It's why xin panth dosen't work. "oh, im down cs from where id like to be. Good thing that they have no adc AND one of them will be useless."

FalconPawwwwnch1 votesNever gonna happen
ADCs are way too strong early game compared to other classes in 2v2s and outscale everything late game
The Whamboozler1 votesGoofy bot lanes are the best. Better still if they work, even. My cousin and I have a few.
+ 
: Lazer death lane. Zones the enemy like mad. The sheer, hideous amount of spank those two can dish out together is insane. As long as you don't let yourself get flanked by the jungler/midlaner, you're golden.
To a lesser extent + 
: AKA the hentai bot lane. Not nearly as bursty as the above combo and neither scales as well as Vik with farm, but fun for some lulz.
+ 
: Both in their pirate skins, o' course. Swain does all the farming and Fiddle plays support. Lane can be a bit rough at first, until gets his ult and then you both have too much sustain to ever be pushed out of lane again. Utter terrors in teamfights too.
But then, we're also fond of bringing out + duo bot in 3v3. The sheer annoyance factor of it never gets old.
