Top: Jayce Jungle: Khazix Mid: Orianna ADC: Lucian Support: Janna

Incredible siege, strong laners, almost unparalleled counter/disengage. I firmly believe that Lucian-Janna is one of, if not the most powerful bot lane at the moment. The synergy between Janna and Kha'Zix is incredible, too - Void Spikes deals absolutely unfair amounts of damage with the free B.F. Sword that is Janna's shield, and there's a really funny play you can do with Kha's E and her ult - Kha'Zix hops in and gets a kill, then hops back to Janna. Janna then ults, throwing away the tanks that are trying to go after Kha'Zix and mitigating any damage he took in the process.

The synergy basically raises the 'lethal bar' of everybody on the enemy team - the fact that Kha'Zix has a Janna to hop back to turns a lot of situations from 'Yeah, Kha could kill me, but he'd die in return' to 'Oh shit, Kha can kill me for free.' So, not only does the team have ridiculous poke, it also makes poke much more dangerous.

If you watched the Korean regional qualifiers, NWS did something similar with Zed and Janna, where Zed could leave his shadow next to Janna and Death Mark the backline in safety. Janna as a support sorta inflates the teamfighting abilities of a lot of assassins, which I think is really cool.

This team comp is excellent with the exception of Janna. I'd much rather have a Braum +Lucian or a Blitzcrank +Caitlyn combo for bot lane.

Janna is literally the champion the comp is built around. It wouldn't work nearly as well with any other support.

You can't really take Janna out of a Janna comp.

Like, if you ran Blitzcrank instead, the enemy team could basically just walk into you whenever you try to siege and there's nothing you could do about it. You'd be insanely reliant on getting huge early leads to actually function without any real disengage.

Whiskey 25U1 votes

That's where I disagree. My Blitz support is different from others. I run AP/mana tank. Blitz was meant to be built with a ton of mana and he's a very viable bruiser. Think about it. Blitz's passive takes 50% of his current mana and converts it into a shiled, allowing him to initiate for his team. All you need is Rod of ages, frozen heart, and seraphims embrace. You now have two shields, and counter their ADC and Jung. Pulls make a world of difference. I'm speaking from personal experience when I say that my team has been down 17K in gold! That's a HUGE disadvantage. But not when you have a Blitz. Blitz makes CRITICAL pulls on enemy carries, nad has MAD sustain. Blitz's W gives you plenty of escape potential. If Blitz is built with only a little AP, he can do massive team fight damage. We WON, that game where our enemies had a massive gold lead. We had no dragons; I was on your typical random organized solo q ranked team. You know, that team that doesn't ward, counter pick or counter build. They don't look at the timers, and even when they lost lane all they did was roam and feed other lanes. The key to escaping Bronze and Silver elo is to build tank and call plays for your team. In most low elo's 75% of players don't build any armor or MR. It's critical that you and your team see those weaknesses and exploit them. You need one or two champs that can split push, and the rest to play deffensively and you'll win 90% of low elo games. Your jungle and top lane should focus on splitting up the enemies attention across the lanes while your mid and adc pick up kills while roaming. Blitz is perfect for this role and so is Thresh. It's really not hard to win games, you just have to keep yourself from letting people get you on tilt, and grind. RESPECTIVELY and I do say RESPECTIVELY, help your team. Don't command them. Call plays that will benefit your team more than yourself. If there's one thing we've all learned from wathcing LCS players, it's that objectives are more important than kills. Your team won't focus on objectives on ANY elo as much as they should. Objectives win games. And it's every summoners responsibility to ignore the flaming from their team and offer what you can. Be smart. Call plays, watch the timers for drake and baron. Dont ping for your team to run to Baron when you have no vision of the enemy team. It's the small things, the common sense things that we forget every day while playing. Before you Que up for a ranked game, make sure your mind is clear and that you're ready to serve your team in the role you end up with. You can't always get your best role or even your second or third best role. It's critical that all summoners have at least 4 champs they can play in every role. You will eventually have to support, jung, adc, top, or mid. And in that moment it's your responsibilty not to rage but to help serve you team for that game winning LP! I hope at least some of these principles get taken to heart by all those reading. I know the struggle, and how frustrating it is. But if you're willing to keep a cool head and acknowledge your mistakes before pointing out your teams failures, you will be successful. Good luck Summoners,; See you on the Rift!

I don't think 12tales was saying that blitz is bad. He's an awesome initiator. But this team isn't about initiation, it's about disengage, which janna does much better than blitz.

Top: Lulu Jungle: Nunu AD Mid: Tristana Support: Soraka AP Bot: Kayle

12tales1 votes

I'd personally switch Kayle and Lulu - I think the downtime on Kayle's E early on makes her laning vs. ADCs too abusable.

That said, I am a big fan of the concept.

YGW Caspie1 votes

I'm honestly not sure if the downtime on Kayle's E early on is a big drawback... the burst potential of this lane with the MR shred is quite high and you can sustain through a lot of poke lanes.

That said, I haven't tried this lane out too much only a couple times so I'm unsure but ultimately everything in this team comp is extremely swappable, for example if they pick an assassin like Zed mid you can swap Kayle and Trist. If they pick a strong 2v2 you can lane swap and then have your support recall if needed to help Lulu CS under tower etc. Overall it's extremely versatile as far lane swaps go.

You can even replace Soraka with a different support, Morgana comes to mind for a protect comp + sisters.... ;) you can also run Lulu support with Maokai top. Flexibility in team comps makes them very hard to break by banning out/counter picking. One day soon I'll get my team to try this in ranked 5s as well as maybe a few others that were mentioned here... I really liked your Siege comp actually.

I really wish I didn't have shitty internet so I could stream ranked 5s with unorthodox team comps :P... I could try just recording though and uploading to youtube or something.

While I'm here though I'll suggest another team comp:

Top: Kayle Jungle: Nocturne Mid: Karthus Bot: Zilean + Jinx

12tales1 votes

I really wish I didn't have shitty internet so I could stream ranked 5s with unorthodox team comps :P... I could try just recording though and uploading to youtube or something.

I'd watch it. I really enjoy the theory behind pick/ban, so seeing cool ideas actualized in real gameplay would be really fun.

Actually, now that I think of it, I had a kinda similar idea to your first comp a few weeks ago. I had the same sorta core of Lulu Nunu Tristana (mid), but with a more conventional bot lane - Corki Nami, if I recall correctly. My general thinking was that Corki and Tristana would sort of naturally compliment one another in terms of their power curves - Corki's ridiculous powerspike at one completed item would make it very difficult for the enemy team to abuse Tristana's weakness at the same stage, while Tristana's insane late game damage output would make up for Corki's inability to really utilize multiplicative stats as well as other ADCs. And if you ever get left alone with a tower, that sucker's gonna fall in seconds.

But yeah, the general team archetype of two auto attackers+three supports is just super powerful right now, in my opinion. Kog'Maw + Yasuo has probably been the most popular, but I think there's a lot of room for innovation.

YGW Caspie1 votes

Honestly the hardest part right now is actually getting Tristana she's permabanned in ranked 5s pretty much unless their first pick and we let it slide once hoping they wouldn't but they did. I'll try and figure out a way to record and upload unless I can find a way to stream without problems.

I've also thought of Corki being a natural fit because like you mentioned their power curves compliment each other. The other not so conventional AD that compliments Tristana I think is Ashe, Tristana has disengage for Ashe while Ashe has engage for Tristana both are really strong late game but Ashe has a good mid game spike and also for some reason my ADC loves to play her from time to time. Jinx is also good because resets makes cleaning up really easy also they both have high range and are hyper carries late game.

I agree there is lots of room for innovation, but I'll try and figure something out for recording or fixing my stream from sucking. Sometimes we end up against Diamond 1 teams so it should be fun in fact when I created a new team with our new top laner our very first ranked 5 game was against all Diamond 1 players, we lost but it was fun...we've also beaten teams with high ranked players we just need to be more consistent in our early game.

Whiskey 25U2 votes

You cant beat this comp. There is sooo much damage, tank and cc (or slows), that your enemies are rendered useless.

Top:Nasus Stacks on stacks. Late game too stronk. Amazing split push. Long lasting slow Jungle:Maokai CC unreal! So unreal, ganks are almost always guaranteed. Tanky, can turret dive with no problem at level 6. Mid:Akali ROAM ROAM ROAM. Great early game snowballer. Ranged ult. High burst damage. ADC:Caitlyn Slows, snares, and lots of damage. Has an escape. Partnering with Thresh makes her extremely mobile and gives lane control. Supp:Thresh Hooks for days. Tanky. Great in team fights. Great in assassinations. Great in drake assists.

Cheap items that go along way! Other team attack speed? item 3110 Other team CC? item 3111 Other team AP? Get the early advantage with item 3155

My favorite team comp that I am DYING to try is as follows:

An ADC that doesn't rage and then quit A jungler that doesn't afk A mid that doesn't feed

And 2 other guys/gals..

Seems like an AWESOME GROUP TO ME

Key here is the jungle Nunu

We spent the entire game trying to get a 5 man fully charged Nunu ult. Story short, we did and won. It was pretty fucking great.

Top:Nasus Mid:Sion Supp:Veigar Jungle:Warwick ADC:Thresh

An entire team based around late game. 4 champs with virtually infinite innate scaling, then a jungle that is able to stack Feral Flare and stack that. A mix of durable and squishy, ranged and melee, adequate cc and damage, I really want to try this.

BewareTheDragon11 votes

Stacking teams are the best :D

Cloud Potato1 votes

Top: Rengar Jungle: Twitch Mid: Talon Bot: Karthus Bot: Leona

General: This teamcomp isn't going to work unless Rengar and Talon can not get destroyed in lane, but otherwise it's solid. Every lane is a threat and the enemy jungle is going to have a hell of a time deciding where to go. Provided lanes go even someone is going to be threatening late game alongside Karthus. Teamfighting is simple: Rengar or Talon will initiate and die after their burst, while the rest of the team moves in to clean up, or Karthus gets initiated on and dies, putting the enemy in your territory while you still have 5 team members. Leona helps create picks, which anyone besides Karthus can follow up on.

Advantages: Rengar, Twitch and Talon all splitpush well, and Karthus can do so too if he wants with a Lich Bane. Rengar and Talon can get Trinity Forces if they're doing well, and they can get more cost efficient AD Caster items if they're behind. Twitch will bring the high sustained physical damage, and although he won't be as well farmed as a standard ADC, Twitch is very powerful during his ultimate, which should be enough for him to contribute before he becomes a green stain on the ground. Twitch will also become the most deadly member of the team with 6 items, if the game is drawn out that long. Gank wise he's not great but top and mid are both great gank receivers. Karthus deals enough magic damage to be a threat while being the most well farmed, preventing the enemy from just stacking Armor. He will always contribute to a fight and can get more gold thanks to his ultimate.

Weaknesses: The most important thing about this team is that you can't have both Rengar and Talon be too far behind. One of them needs to have enough damage to make a noticeable dent in the enemy team, and survive just long enough for the rest of the team to come in. The Karthus bait is a good fallback but if Karthus is not doing well the enemy team can stack on the Armor, and Karthus is also the only good source of waveclear on the team. Being in the duo lane should help Karthus keep up but if he's being destroyed you will be having trouble if the rest of the team can't pick up the slack. Twitch is a pretty vulnerable jungler. He does not gank well without his ultimate, and he is counterjungled easily, so the laners need to be at least even or else Twitch will easily be stalked by the enemy jungler.

tl;dr: Rengar and Talon can both either become deadly burst initiators or mobile teamfight menaces. Twitch can rely on Rengar and Talon's strong laning to make up for his shortcomings and become a deadly late game threat. Karthus brings consistent magic damage that is hard to shut down due to being in the duo lane. Leona is also in the team.

Team Resurrection

Top: Aatrox Jungle: Zac Mid: Anivia Support:Zilean ADC: Not sure what to put here, pretty much any ADC would do.

Honorable mentions: Karthus ,Yorick

Possible to swap Zac with Aatrox and/or Zilean with Anivia. Feel free to sub in Karthus and Yorick if you like. Also, build item 3026 on all team members. If you're feeling particularly trollish then run Revive on all of them as well.

I'd actually love to see an all-yordle team. The potential inherent in those little guys is absolutely insane, and the team would be heavily overpowered.

Top: Teemo

Jungle:Kennen

Mid:Poppy

Bot Supp:Heimerdinger

Bot ADC:Tristana

Think about how terrifying it would be to just suddenly get ambushed by a bunch of ankle-biters with full builds. Painful little buggers.

TheRainInSpain1 votes

Poppy jungle Heimer top Teemo supp Tristana mid Kennen bot

Trust me, I tried Heimer support, and it's very situational. Put turrets around bot player, turrets take CS. Go for bush dominance, can't help ADC very well when jungler shows up. But with Teemo ... people really underestimate your poison. Just because you're a support doesn't mean you can't go 12/0 in the first fifteen minutes.

Dryditch1 votes

Really? I can see the problem, but I'm actually thinking lulu might be even better for supp.

Still think it would be fun to try. Legion of the ankle-biters.

Submarine Team!

Top/Jungle:Shen Kayle Mid:Orianna ADC:Twitch Support:Lulu

This comp revolves entirely around the Twitch submarine. Let him invis and walk into their team with Ori's ball / Shen ulti / Lulu shield. As soon as Twitch comes out of stealth, Ori sucks them all into him, Lulu ultis him and knocks them all up, Shen appears and taunts as many as possible, Kayle shreds from safety and heals / ultis twitch if he gets too low. General unstoppable carnage!


Cant Killean Team!

Top/ADC:AatroxYorick Jungle:Zac Mid:Anivia Support:Zilean

Everyone must build item 3026 first item. Karthus is also a good pick.

Daishø1 votes

Top: Renekton Can build tanky and damage, and have it work fine, without dedicating toward one or the other. Mid: Yasuo Extremely mobile, doesn't need too many items, can snowball very easily. JG: LeeSin Great for ganking with all his escapes/jumps, can also build tanky and damage ADC: Tristana One of the best ADC in the current meta, also doesn't take much to get rolling, and has one of the longest escapes of all ADCs. Supp: Blitzcrank Has a knock up for Yasuo, has a pull when chasing, only downfall: no sustain.

This team comp can destroy any wandering champs, great for sieging due to Tristanas range, Yasuo ability to dash in and out without taking too much damage, Blitz for Pick people off with his grab, lee sin for dashing in and out with his 3 escapes, Renekton is just a straight up tanky damage dealer, that all I got to say.

The chase potential is also great, and team fights can easily be easily controlled with Renekton just being able to tank the damage while dealing damage, and then his team following up. All the lanes are strong for their own reasons though. Renekton can also deal with rotations exceptionally good and can handle most 2v1s. Yasuo can just poke with his q and e, Lee Sin can invade and get out unscratched, Tristana is just too good right now, and blitz is the backbone in the bot lane with his grabs.

The Heavenrazers

Top: Malphite Jungle: MonkeyKing Mid: Yasuo Bot: Tristana Bot: Janna

Summary

This team loves to jump all over the place and blow its enemies sky high--literally and figuratively. Malphite and Wukong can lead the charge and lay on the hurt, and Tristana can mow down everybody in sight with her autoattacks, all the while leaving Janna to give everybody vital offensive and defensive support. But you've really got to watch out for Yasuo as he dashes around and slices the entire enemy team into bloody confetti. If you face this team, the pace is sure to be absolutely manic.

Strengths

  • Maphite and Wukong can each go top, mid, or jungle
  • Yasuo can go top, mid, or bot
  • Tristana can go mid or bot
  • Well balanced between AD and AP
  • Extremely mobile
  • Malphite and Janna are excellent sources of CC
  • Malphite and Wukong are very durable
  • Tristana's obscene range and DPS, plus self peel and resetting dashes
  • Yasuo's Wind Wall blocks any incoming projectiles from the enemy backline
  • UNFAIR engage and teamfight
  • Great counter/disengage
  • Good siege, largely from Tristana's range

Weaknesses

  • Janna is the team's only source of sustain
  • Yasuo and Tristana require a good amount of snowballing
  • Questionable laning
  • Malphite and Wukong need tank items
  • Malphite is the biggest source of burst damage unless Tristana goes AP
  • Tristana and Yasuo are permabans

Evanescent Sea

Top: Garen Jungle: Maokai Mid: Fizz Bot: Varus Bot: Thresh

Summary

The overall theme of this team is slow but explosive: forcing the opponents to give you openings and then capitalizing without mercy. Fizz, Thresh, and Maokai are all good initiators, thanks to their gap closers, and Varus can really bring the pain with his mix of DPS and sustained burst damage. Plus, if any assassins try to jump the backline, they'll have to get through Garen. All are very strong in the laning phase and stay strong throughout the game, slowly but steadily steamrolling along.

Strengths

  • Massive CC between Maokai, Varus, and Thresh
  • Garen and Fizz can each go top or mid
  • Excellent siege and counter/disengage
  • Great laning
  • Garen, Thresh, and Maokai are all very durable
  • Fizz is extremely mobile and has massive burst damage
  • Maokai can reduce all enemy damage nearby
  • Thresh can save just about anybody with his lantern
  • Garen and Maokai have high sustain, especially late game
  • Fizz and Varus both can cut enemy sustain

Weaknesses

  • Often requires opponents to make the first move in laning phase
  • Thresh's effectiveness requires a lot of coordination
  • Sub-par to bad mobility overall, especially Varus
  • Garen has no hard CC or gap closer at all
  • Fizz and Varus require a good amount of snowballing

I played a game the other day as Rammus with a team comp I thought was relatively unbeatable. Unfortunately I can't see the match history, but it went something like:

Akali Top Rammus Jungle Brand Mid Tristana ADC Janna Support

Granted, it used a lot of champs that are currently OP in the meta, but man, we had everything: ranged damage, an assassin, an AOE mage, a superstrong tank, a bunch of crowd control...I could roll in to any lane and get a kill no problem. I think I actually managed to snowball all three lanes; I brought the initiation and tankiness, they brought the damage.

I'd love to play it again if I got the chance, it just felt really fluid and cohesive.
