You realise that the current 'meta' hasnt been around since the dawn of LoL, i play AD carry mid and regularly destroy their AP caster despite complaints of my team.
I have a new found love for Nasus.
Was playing a game earlier and I was solo top against a Singed, I died once due to a gank, our mid was getting raped and our jungler also, we lost both mid towers, bot tower and I just kept on farming my queue. Got involved in one team fight and felt we can't win currently so carried on farming everyone was like surrender@20. At about 19:30 a team fight broke out and I basically killed everyone, everyone's moral rose and we played well together and went on to win a game which we all thought was lost. I basically carried the whole team which was cool
Got my attitude back now and back to my winning ways I hope, loving jungling also
Tried a draft normal earlier and so cool, although 4 on the other team went rally revive

Good for you. I imagine the AP carries love you.
AD mid and something like malzahar top will work just fine?
Yea Brand solo top/Vlad is a good choice so can't see why Malz wouldn't be.
He's playing Kayle right now, so I sincerely doubt that. Ez and Trist, and to a lesser extent Caitlyn and Vayne, can quite easily hold a solo lane. AD carries solo lane viability is *not* the reason they are put bottom with a support.
You also completely neglected the other thing he said. The AD/support bot hasn't been around since the dawn of time and Bruiser top certainly hasn't been (having been introduced relatively recently by SK). Infact, double AP is still more then viable and bot lane is getting mixed up a bit on the pro scene aswell (watch RS's games).
There are more ways to play the game then you think there are, and those of us, like Anim, that have been playing since Beta have seen/played every which way and what. You should consider listening to those people, cos you certainly ain't as knowledgeable as you seem to think you are.
Whilst the US servers are down I had to think of other things to do (No idea why I play US servers, it just happened)
I've played 2 games so far and both teams have all been identical (all from the free week) Pretty much all the US players are here for a few hours!
Level 1 Annie =D

It's done. If someone is waiting posting in here is probably the best way to get a quick response
So what reason is there for having an AD carry farm mid while the AP carry lanes with the support? Surely the AP needs the levels more where the AD need gold which they can farm in the lane just fine. Surely you also want maximum possible AoE damage as well which is what the AP carries are good at? I can see that you could run a caster top especially if you have tanky DPS jungling but I don't see why you would stick your AP solo top and your bruiser mid unless one of them was a hard counter for one of the solo heroes.
Serious question by the way. I apologise for my earlier post. I was in a very bad mood when I posted it and in my defence I had just come from a game where the carry took solo mid and then fed Annie.
I play AD carries, 99% of the time.
The player you always want mid, are viable AP Gankers. (Annie, Lux, Orianna, Ryze.) Slows, Stuns, Immobilize, all the good stuff.
Ganks on the lanes win games.
AD + Support = Ownage anyway.

Kayle is a bit of an exception, so far Orianna is the only AP that isnt forced out of XP range by level 3 and that was pre-mini nerf. Kayle's level 1 damage is pretty impressive and then with the slow at lvl 2 with a 6% damage amp makes it even more lethal, at 3 she can self heal to not care about a few minion hits whilst hitting the AP carry for 100+ a hit.
Right so the idea is more to ruin the enemy AP casters game? Send an AD that has good harassment and just zone them out of the lane?
I've been dying to try Kayle out since the buff. I tried her hybrid which seems ok I suppose but it she supposed to me more of an AD carry now?

I wouldn't call it a buff......her support characteristics are nerfed to the point of being gone.
But I tried her for the first time since Riot gave her to us for playing a ranked game in season 1 and she is quite fun.
Hybrid mix of AP & AD with mad attack speed and CDR and she dishes out damage like crazy. I went 11-2 with her in my first game but then died about 7 times in a row late game because she is superrrrr squishy and I had 0 defensive items on her
I've been using this guide with great results: http://www.solomid.net/guides.php?g=806
