Title. Under no circumstance having trouble here, but I've been seeing it a lot more in high elo streams and I'm curious which champs it is just a bad idea to do that against compared to others.
One example is if their ADC and support start top instead of normal.
EDIT: Another idea is if you want to solo bot.
The Mormonator2 votesI would add singed to this list
EpOx1G1 votesI feel Gnar would do extremely well.
Arcus Diabolus1 votesI feel Gnar would do extremely well.
Ehhh, Gnar is unreliable in ranked. The instant his passive pops, any opponent just walks away until it fades, that or harass the best they can in a way Mega Gnar can't retaliate.
EpOx1G1 votesYeah but I'm talking about his poke with his Q and his ability to harass well.

Gnar is NOT unreliable. He's a high skill ceiling champion.
You poke down your enemy in Mini-Gnar, and bounce into Mega-Gnar, though you have to time it right so the enemy isn't able to get out of bounce range quick enough. Mega-Gnar also has massive burst at level 6 with R + W + Q combo, easily able to 1v2 if the enemies are near a wall.
The biggest problem Gnar has in a 1v2 lane is around level 3 when he is forced to go Mega-Gnar, however playing safe until it wears off is always an option.

That lvl 3 transform is how he loses. He has to give up farm or die. He can't merely play safe without getting zoned from Exp and gold.
Kira Onime1 votesI would guess any ranged top laner could do somewhat well.
cshakes1 votesRanged top laners/ones with a ranged last-hitting ability (harder to zone), and support-type top laners (less reliance on gold). So, Lulu, for one.
Totalwanabe1 votesmalzahar,zigg,vel,maokai,xerath,vlad,yorick,sivir,morgana and syndra
Pinker 101 votesFarm under your turret with vlad. Kill them if they dive you.
Lemons221 votesVlad is awful at farming under turret at the beginning of the game...so no. Just no.
A Retarded Clown1 votesanything with ranged clear.
Singed. Mundo.
Tooth Burglar1 votesRengar, Renekton, Jayce, Olaf (max Q, start flash), Shyvana, Shen, Malphite are some that come to mind.
If you're sub level 30 (hence lots of duo tops), Rengar can pretty easily 1v2 if you play it right and start red pot or long sword. Scrubs don't expect the burst and don't know to stay away from the bushes.
Konidias1 votesQuinn.
She's a beast 1v2. Her Q is great poke and good for last hitting from distance.
It can also blind one or both champs to let you win some trades.
Plus she has E for disengaging if she gets in a sticky situation. Not to mention you will out level them and they will quickly regret having 2 top.
I will gladly take a 1v2 situation since you will be leveling twice as fast as both of them... It also means bot lane is free to farm, so you are looking at TWO strong ADCs in mid/late game.
It's a bit harder if they have someone who can heavily zone you out in top lane. (thresh/blitz/morg/leona mostly)
Arcus Diabolus1 votesPerhaps. I feel Riven might do well. She just needs that lvl 3 double kill to snowball. If the duo is CC heavy though, no way.
Nick Valentine1 votesMy goal in 2v1 is not to kill but to hold, especially when the enemy is a double ranged champion. Therefore I think the following are strong.
Morgana: Can hold lanes with her amazing push and people do not want to dive her (to kill) Malzahar: Can push back easily from very far Caitlyn: Can 2v1 an ad/support lane that has shorter range
12tales1 votesHeimerdinger is fantastic in 1v2s, because he can farm from range and his turrets make him incredibly risky to dive, especially early on. With teleport, it's insanely hard to deny him experience, especially if the enemy team isn't able to execute a freeze (it's surprising how many people have difficulty with that). Lulu works well for similar reasons.
Shen is also relatively good. Manaless sutain plus a taunt that makes him very difficult to dive makes it quite a challenge to deny him, and he offers tons of utility even without items.
