User blog comment:StrategicMagic/Breaking the Meta - Objectives Teamcomp/@comment-3486816-20120725072742

love the idea of 90% of this, but I'd like to add a few qualms in case they haven't already been voiced:

1. It's already been established by other commenters that your AP bot's late/mid game is likely going to be dodgy -- if the enemy is good about avoiding pushing and zoning you, they won't get much done no matter how well they can farm under the tower. This leads to another (arguably greater) problem -- if your AP bot fails, the enemy team has little to no need for magic resist. All they'll need defensively is armor, giving them what's essentially a huge gold advantage. This is why, even in the currrent meta, so many games are decided in mid (and probably part of the reason for the popularity of dual AP). On the other hand, you have their AP carry mid where he/she's much more difficult to shut down completely regardless of who you have against them (though smart play might allow you to do so anyways). So you'll probably have to end up building magic resist on your end at about the same rate as you would in the current meta. That they get the advantage in that respect and that you don't is probably the most likely outcome, especially when you're focusing on taking objectives more than saving lanes.

In all honesty, you could probably make an interesting counter-meta strategy from the idea of shutting down their magic damage alone, but putting the mage mid is specifically configured to make that difficult.

2. Their AD carry is going to farm, and farm well. There's pretty much no way around this. Unless the jungler/mid are babysitting bot (which they're not, the time they take outside their normal laning/jungling duties are going to be largely put towards the central goal of securing every objective), 2v1 bot will farm well, especially when the whole idea of the champ bot is being able to sustain themselves passively.

P.S.: I'd like to point out that certain common top lanes (Shen and Malphite in particular come to mind) have no problem going 1v2 and will do just as well (if not better) than your 1v2 mage bot at both farming under the tower and holding it.

P.P.S.: if you want to try something weird for its own sake, try out a double jungle. I honestly think it's more viable than people give it credit. I personally recommend Karma/Poppy or Mao/Evelynn (especially now that she was remade).
