I'm interested in seeing what people think are the current worst leaders/civs and worst combinations.

I can't really speak to it myself because I've played less than half the leaders and civs.

I'm interested in the future trying to play a game with the worst of the worst, to see if I can still come out on top.
 
I think Khmer is a weak civilization with poor traditions, and Layafette is a weak leader that only really works when paired with a strong civ with great traditions, so go Lafayette / Khmer for a miserable time, and then transition into Mongolia to make sure you don't get any of the distant land bonuses, either.

If you wanted to try out the new stuff, Blackbeard leading Silla is guaranteed to break either the leader or the civ abilities.

Tonga into Hawai'i sounds like a wonderfully bad time for a Pachacuti game, but none of them is particularly weak on their own (I don't particularly rate Hawai'i, myself, but others seem to).
