I made a team comp around Rakan (and Xayah)

Amumu : Jungle. His kit works perfectly for hard engage when it would otherwise be unsafe for Rakan to go in. Not to mention his new passive making the damage Rakan does even better since Rakan will probably build similar to Ivern (AP, HP, tank where/when needed)

Darius :Top. A front line Juggernaut that could definitely benefit from a hyper mobile support that dashes in and out while providing utility to his team. Darius losing the chase? Rakan dances over and catapults them into the air long enough for him to reach them. Rakan can also shield and heal Darius in a fight because Darius positions himself in a way that will allow Rakan to utilize the most of his kit.

Orianna : Mid. Her ball on Rakan would be devastating, not much else to say other than the fact that Jhin himself couldn't perFOURm better than Rakan's W plus Orianna ult.

Xayah: ADC. An obvious choice, but she also benefits from this team albeit not the same way Rakan does. Her feathers will rely on the positioning of both her and her enemies, the innate cc all these champs contain enough stopping power for her to get the feathers all set up for crazy amounts of damage and crowd control. Not to mention Xayah doesn't really have hard escapes by herself, but this team is entirely capable of covering that for her. Darius? Smash. Orianna? Shield and/or cc peel. Amumu? Hard lockdown peel giving a window of retaliation or escape. Rakan? Shield and/or heal and/or cc peel.

What do you guys and gals think? I haven't read this much into a new champ release since Jhin.

Xayah is actually a champion that works best on teams that kite backwards rather than chase forward like Darius and Amumu want to because if you are moving forward you will never get to use her E to deal damage and it deals a huge amount of damage. Ori is great though but you would want a top laner who can join the fight out of nowhere, so while 3 or 4 are kiting back the top laner is setting up for the big turn around, like a Panth or Wukong. All of the sudden Xayah uses her E and roots everyone in place only to have panth ult out of the sky with no way out or Wukong with an Ori ball on her come out of stealth for the big wombo, much better than Darius. Amumu isnt a terrible JG choice for the comp but you would be better with someone that can deal some massive AoE damage to capitalize on the already deadly synergy of the wukong ori combo like Rengar (who also works well with the invisible ball) or J4 who can keep them enclosed after all getting pulled in by ori. On top of that BC on Wukong would give a huge benefit to a Xayah and Rengar/J4

I made this one with the thought of having a pretty tanky front line. And I do get what you're saying about kiting back, but the lockdown Darius and Amumu should be enough for Xayah to take advantage of. Her 525 AA range makes her get closer to the action than most ADC's would and having a tank and Juggernaut there to soak skillshots and take blitz hooks would definitely be a boon.

I can see your idea working well on an enemy team that has less pick pressure.

Top lane Yasuo. With all those knocks and with a Wukong or Pantheon or J4 jungle...... that would suck for the enemy team lol. Seeing as after Rakan goes in and knocks up, Yasuo can ulti, J4 can ulti, Ori ulties bringing them all into the middle of J4 ulti, and then yeah. Pretty much if they are not dead after that, you are not going to kill them or they are about to be dead.

Lol, agreed. BUT! he would make a good addition none the less, and if nothing else then he will just solo the enemy team [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

In a Darius comp you MUST put Zilean mid. For the E ofc.

This team was more focused on Rakan, but if focus shifted to Darius Zilean mid would definitely be an amazing choice for the team.

Sure. Still, throwing a superboosted Darius in the middle of enemies feels better than a simple Orianna ball in most cases! XD

And double bombs, just as a bonus...
