Can someone explain what makes the highlighted team so strong?

I got taken out by the rank 2 guy (who actually became rank 1 when I left) in a post dragon round. What makes this team stronger than the other 3 teams, other than the fact he has 3 3 star units, who are all tier 1?

He has no strong synergies, only 1 tier 4 unit (who is 1 star), and only has 7 units. Am I missing something, or are his 3 star tier one units really outweighing our multiple 2 star tier 4, 5, and 7 units with completed synergies and 8 units? If that's it, it seems really unreasonable.

4 ocean 2 warden 3 mage / maybe more if hats are in play

Is by no means weak.

3 star Vlad double cast does nearly 900 damage and heals for that much. Brand double cast at 1 stars does around 500 to each unit hit. Syndra roughly the same.

Thats before accounting for ocean giving them 35mp/4. Additonally Thresh has a 400hp shield.

I have no idea what map you were on but if it Ocean the problem of them being mana batteries only compounds further.

It also looks like 3 inferno. Plenty of synergy there. But the OP isn't wrong about the game being unbalanced. I've seen teams with ZERO synergy push through to endgame on just a couple of 3-stars.

You're right i spaced on Diana being inferno...So yeah that's not a no synergy comp as expressed.

3 Inferno + 3 Mage + 4 Ocean (ignoring the wardens). Enough said.

I'm pretty sure everyone in the game had better/more synergies than the ones you mentioned. 3 inferno/3 mage is usually terrible w/o high tier units (tier 3+).

3-stars are a big factor, especially on diana and vlad, and he has 3 inferno, 3 mages, 4 ocean and 2 wardens, and we don't know the items.

you have 2 rangers, 3 light and 2 mystik, NO YORIK(the core for every light setup) and your 3 star vayne probably gets destroyed by diana every fight.

and again, we don't know the items, which are a massive factor for the game.

That's not my team you're looking at lol.

I'm the one with the 2* tier 7 and tier 5 units with summoner/light/crystal/warden comp. Lost to a bunch of 3 star tier 1 units.

In that case, the issue is mostly that crytal and wardens synergies suck in this set, and i asume lux is your other light, which means you have no light unit that really uses the AS well. It also comes down to items, zed without items, assasins and ele doesn't do much, lux is decent on her own, but without the right items it's not enough to carry your damage, and other than that, you had no DD. And sadly, TFT is like the Rift, tankiness means NOTHING in the late, it's mostly about damage, and the the mage/infernals 3 stars had plenty of that.

As for why wardens and crystal suck:

  • His setup is nearly all magic damage, so the armor of wardens means nothing at all
  • Asides from the mage casts, all damage is spreat out over many instances of small damage, dianas abillity is split in 6 damage instances, zyras plants are many instances of lowish damage, the inferno dot...crystal just does shit vs 90% of set 2 cause it's POST mitigation and very few champs really deal enough damage in one hit to cross the 100 damage line. Tarik for example has enough armor with the warden bonus that an even 250 ad would not trigger the crystal effect cause post mitigation, it's only ~100

Again, the sad truth of it is that your setup just lacks damage, especially if diana takes out your lux, and crystal+wardens are amongest the weakest synergies, and scarner without predator is mostly a waste of space. Riots balanceing is bad, and you happened to opt into a non meta comp...

It's his three stars. He has some synergy; Ocean, Mage, Inferno and Warden but the latter two are meh.

Currently in this Set certain Tier 3 Champions are stronger than having compositions through the early/mid stages of the game. Namely; Vladimir, Zyra, Diana, Ezreal, Nasus and Qiyana.

What items? That is also huge.. If zyra is a mage w/ morello, and or spear, you are dealing w/ a ton of plants esp on a double cast chance. Some 3 star units are pretty strong. Diana/zyra/vlad are in that group. I didn't even notice ocean at first for the mana regen which is another huge factor.. Unless you have a champ that can inflict grievous wounds on vlad he's gonna be popping off like nuts and he alone will need an army to take down. Vayne, even w/ items, is one of the worst 3 star champs.
