How will this effect bot lane ?
To be honest, I say not much. The ratio changes on all champions in bot will do little to fix the problems with Janna or Braum. ( Janna is too safe and deals too much damage, while Braum is still a bit too tanky early on. ) I fully expect the meta in bot to move very little and possibly not at all.
On the plus side the removal of sweeping lens and intimidate upgrade into

Direct Changes: Health regen and health regen growth decreased, Icathian Rain AD ratio decreased at all ranks.
Her ratio with her kit, despite the nerf, are still really good. She is not actually a good champion or has a good kit even, it is just that her numbers are overtuned at the moment.
49.3% Winrate
3.1% Ban Rate
Direct Changes: Living Vengeance grants less bonus attack speed on both minion and champion kills, Blighted Quive deals less on hit damage, but empowers his next Piercing Arrow.
Varus is the opposite of Kai'Sa. It is not the numbers or ratio that makes him good, but rather his kit. He can be used in any comp and find success in any of them.
Popular and Strong Supports

16.7% Ban Rate
Direct Changes: A joke
She is too easy to be good at, does too much damage for being so safe, and is easy to abuse. The " nerf " done to her is a joke.

4.2% Ban Rate
Direct Changes: None
Like Varus, Nami fits well into many comps and her strong early game helps her team secure massive leads, which snowball into the mid game, which is where games are won at the moment.

Think of Janna, but as a kill support. He is not terribly hard to learn, deals gross amounts of damage, and is really for solo que.
Hidden gems

Direct Changes: None
Guinsoo's Rageblade interaction with Jhin makes him stupidly busted past 30 minutes.
Conclusion
Bot lane is in a state that has a few very strong champions, followed by many ok champions. You can play anyone traditionally found in bot lane at the moment, without it being considered a bad idea.
With that being said, Kai'Sa and Janna are way too strong for doing so little at the moment. I think by tuning their ratios and nerfing Ardent Censer, we could fix these problems. Fix this and bot lane becomes a much better place to be.

Also I'm glad to hear you enjoy my analysis! Do you like my new format compared to the old one?
And I agree about Morg! I've been playing her since she was a niche pick in late season 3 and I always considered her a hidden gem.
And I think Morg is not really a hidden gem, but more like a solid rock. Never the best, but never bad!
Anyway for Jhin you want someone who can easily trigger snare on
Also, if you would like we could add each other on discord and I could help you out further! ( Your friend is invited as well :) )
