ADCS good in 2v1 bots?

with bard coming out, I can expect that anyone with a bard on their team will be 2v1 bot lane for most of the laning phase. Who is good enough in 2v1s so they don't get hard denied cs?

Caitlyn, Ezreal, Corki, Trist, Maybe graves. Graves is short-range, not that great vs 2. Ashe doesn't have an escape, but her range is good. Caitlyn's range and abilities make her capable of farming from a distance if you need to, just like Corki Rockets, and Ezreal Q's. Those 3 can farm decently even with a bad support or stuck in a 2v1, just becuase of their ability to pick up CS from a safe distance. Graves is good, but his short range not that great for CSing.

IMO Tanky ADCS and ADCS with escape such as trust jump,graves dash etc. I'd go with graves or corki or even a twitch in those 2v1 situations

I doubt any team that has the new support actually "wander" is going to win a game so I don't think it's going to be 2v1 bot lane. That being said, Caitlyn is probably your best bet because of her range

At the LCS level that would be literally no champion in the game. So it probably won't catch on. Being in a 1v2 means you'll be at 5 CS when mid is at 40, and marksman essentially only scale with gold/CS.

In yoloqueue, having a kill or 2, or a solid jungler with a good sense of timing can allow you to pull it off with pretty much anyone.

In ~Silver, Caitlyn is probably your best bet. She's solid at sniping things at range, clearing an army of minions with AoE, locking targets up under tower, preventing surprises from shrubbery, and she's got an escape. Most other marksman are either mobile with peanuts for range/AoE, or they have solid range/AoE/CC without mobility.

This is something I had been thinking about as well. Think champs with range that won't get denied too badly would do well. Corki is really what comes to mind the most since he also has a reliable escape. Ezreal might also work, but not sure. Not sure how long Bard's E/medkits last, but can always drop a few of those around your tower so your ADC can retreat and get safe health whenever needed as you roam.

Think the most important thing would be to have a friend with you that can play ADC and you can trust them to play safe whenever you roam. Another thing would be if you are solo, make sure your ADC knows to try and play safe so you can roam and use Bard to potential. Need those Chimes to help out your Meeps and your own damage potential lol.

The team could always pick ADC mid, and then pick a safe mage with good waveclear bot.
