Help me with information gathering regarding onslaught?

After grilling some friends and playing a few games of onslaught, here're some things that I've noticed regarding the game mode and some interesting strategies, that may or may not be helpful to you. Thought it'd be interesting to share some info, and was definitely hoping to see if anyone else got anything different. (Keep in mind that these notes are based off of my observations, and probably won't be too accurate.) I'd love to hear everyone else's remarks!

Some observations: -Lulu and Poppy seem to have a higher win rate than other champs -Syndra and Ahri seem to have rather low play rates -An interesting strat that I noticed was a Janna with Boots of Mobility running around and reviving players, while the rest of the team dished out damage. It seemed pretty effective. -People seem to be selling their boots to purchase AP/AD/Utility/Def items, with mixed results -It's seems like Poppy is a key champion in these games, as it is harder to win without her on your team, based on what I've observed -Soraka appears to also be a key champion in these games, as the majority of the onslaught games I've been looking (Stalking a friend's page) at have Raka in them -Some players have been purposely walking in to the Big One's charge, in order to be carried away from a huge mob of enemies -A strategy employed by some when the team is down to two members is to have one person lead the mob away, while the other revives their team mates -When players are too far from a pillar/lamp and the Big One is about to fire her ranged attack, some choose to revive a team mate instead of running for cover, and rely on the invincibility effect to keep them alive -Poppy with Warmog's seems like a good idea, due to the fact that if she can stay out of battle for long enough, she can regain health and revive teammates with a higher health percentage -Using Lulu's shield on a Khazix will allow you to keep track of where it is, however, this is not recommended (Or at least by me) because you'll most likely lose track of him anyways, due to the chaos caused by all the other enemies, and I would recommend that you shield an ally instead -Bork, Lord Dom and Liandry's all seem to be rather effective items for this game mode -I have yet to see an AP Ezreal, so if anyone has played him as AP, please let me know how it went :D -Knight's Vow seems pretty good on Poppy, although I wouldn't rate it as a must have -AP champs generally seem pretty effective to me, as the enemies have lower MR

On-hit builds (bork/rageblade/wits end) combine very well with ardents on-hit heal. Ardent itself is very strong, since while lifesteal is reduced, the ardent heal is not.

If you're playing Lux Ahri or Syndra and you don't get Liandry's early, you're trolling.
