How Do You Beat Summoners?

Seems like the strat is to roll for 3 star Malzahar and then sit back and win the game. I have not found a comp capable of out DPSing how many voidlings he can spawn. Then you add Yorick and Annie and there are too many targets on the field which makes it impossible to kill their actual units. Azir nukes back lines for no apparent reason even with no items. But the main issue is Malzahar, he covers the entire field within seconds and its impossible to kill them faster than he can spawn them. At least that is how it seems to me, i have tried a few different comps but nothing seems to kill them fast enough before him and Yorick swarm the field. Even if you kill their units, their spawns deal damage to you so if they have only 1 unit left you take damage as if 3-4 units were left. Which late game means 20+ hp damage for barely losing.

Obviously there has to be a way of beating them that I am missing, I just can't figure it out.

I agree Summoners is an issue. I just played as a summoner team and the only match I lost was before I had 3. After that, i won 22 straight matches with a final health of 94. I have yet to create a team that can destroy summoners.

Anything with aoe deletion.

Mages Berserkers Predators Electric

All of the above can both tank and destroy minions faster than spawned.

Assassins can kill a Summoner before it even casts.

I have had some amusing success running light+berserker or light+ranger (a fallback), put a couple shojin on jax and watch as he tanks the whole team plus voidlings without ever losing HP. Funny as hell.

heavy aoe, though there isn't that much of it in the game.

Things i have beaten summoners with so far:

  • Fed brand

  • 2star morello singed

  • 3star mundo

  • fed sivir

  • mage lux

  • fed nocturn

so you need a consistent high aoe damage with near perfect gear...

All in all summoners, especially the combination of yorik and malzahar, are disgusting and only loose to even more absurd things...


P.S. summoned units don't deal damage post fight(the damage dealt to your little legend on a lost round), despite the visuals looking like it

I had a 3 star malz with spear of shojin on ocean map. Thought I was invincible. the last person in the game absolutely wrecked me with a max lifesteal olaf

AoE, poison seems pretty good because it delays summons, Olaf can probably do it too since he's busted enough to solo several champions by himself.

Maybe Twitch? I guess he counts as AoE and he is poison.

Infernal + Mages with Brand carry might work really well too considering the infernal hexes would in theory delete summons unless it's Tibbers.
