A question for all you theory crafting spreadsheet makers out there
What is the highest number of champion synergies you can hit with max (9) champions?
Which champions do you have to have to achieve this?

For maximum synergies, we're looking at Brawler, Guardian, Gunslinger, Robot, Wild, Knight, Ranger, Demon, Dragon, Glacial, Imperial, Ninja, Phantom, and Exile, as all of those operate with 1-2 champions.
We're also especially interested in Knight, Glacial, Demon, Brawler, Blademaster, Assassin, and Sorcerer, as we have items that can help with those.
First, we'll look at Gangplank, Gnar, Kennen, and Swain, as they have three types. Swain and Gnar are especially appealing -- Both give us points towards two 2-cost types, and they put us 1 away from Shapeshifter, which is great.
So let's pick up Swain and Gnar.
We'll then pick up Elise Nidalee, who is a Wild/Shapeshifter, and we'll give her Darkin, making her a Demon.
At 3 champions we're now at Shapeshifter 3 / Demon 2 / Wild 2. Good start.
We'll pick up a Draven with Knight's Vow for Imperial 2. We'll then pick up Gangplank and Yasuo, giving us Blademaster 3 / Exile 1. 5 units, 6 synergies.
We're two away from Pirate, so throwing a Ghostblade on Miss Fortune lets us pick up Graves/Miss Fortune for Pirate 3 + Gunslinger 2, and we'll throw in a Zed for Assassin3 / Ninja 1. We're at 8 units, 9 synergies. Blitzcrank makes an easy 9 units / 10 synergies.
Not sure it's the MOST (I only assumed three items, and you can get more), but it's a good start.
