Top 5 strongest botlane champion duos in League of Legends season 13

While the League of Legends meta has been ever-evolving since the beginning of season 1 back in 2009, one thing that hasn't changed since the game's inception is the significance of the botlane.

The botlane usually consists of two players, an ADC (Attack Damage Carry), and a support. The duo is expected to work together to gain an advantage over their opponents and secure kills, resulting in winning the game. They are crucial to their team since their performance ultimately sets the tone for the whole game. A successful bot lane performance may provide a considerable advantage in League of Legends.

Marksman deals damage and obtains kills, while the support is tasked with protecting and assisting the marksman. A well-coordinated bot lane pair may harass and disrupt the other team, resulting in early kills and tower grabs. This early advantage may be game-changing in League of Legends since it provides the squad with more gold, experience, and map control.

A good bot lane pair will also benefit the rest of the League of Legends squad. A well-fed marksman can inflict a lot of damage, allowing the rest of the team to take objectives quickly, and strong support can help the squad with crowd control and healing. This enables the team to participate in combat and siege targets more effectively, increasing their overall chances of success.

Furthermore, he can poke with his Q (Dancing Grenade) and W (Deadly Flourish), offer crowd control with his E (Captive Audience), and gives strong team fighting potential owing to his ultimate, R (Curtain Call).

While Heimerdinger is one of the few four-way flex League of Legends champions that can play on the toplane, midlane, APC, and support, making him one of the most versatile champions.
