Current Meta
In the current meta there is an Ap carry mid, a bruiser top and an AD carry and 0 CS support in the bot lane and of course a jungler. For a more detailed explanation look at this guide from Teekesselchen.

My suggestion
I do not want to change the meta but I think the is a way of taking advantage of it. So here is the idea: rather then a jungler choose a second support for top,
 * this one can ether be a support who is disruptive right from the start and gets really tanky later on like Taric, Alistar or Leona.
 * Or a less common support who's only role in the laning phase is to harass and zone and later on still does damage or brings utility. Think for instance about Nidalee or Lux. Like Canvasofgrey explains here there are a lot of possibilities for supports other then the most common.

The goal is to completely deny the other solo top, without taking farm from your top. Because the "Support" is purely harassing your solo top can pay more attention at farming and you should be able to get a (few) kill(s). Just make sure the river is warded. Also this way it is possible to chose a top who can carry hard but has a hard time in lane against a lot of other tops.

The only downside I see is that bot lane can get no ganks from a jungler and a worse dragon control.

I would like to have some feedback (with arguments) on this and plz try it out once in a custom game.
