Okay.... just for fun and because I like forums:
How did I win this match?

Hint #2 had 9 Infernal with a 2 star Lux! Went from 97 HP Lock to 0 HP in 6 consecutive fights with me after we knocked out the other two. So why? Why did a (9) Superclass lose?
Second place has no real carry. 9 inferno doesn't mean much if you never get abilities off.
Brand is a complete non-factor. With no mana items and no oceans, he's never going to get enough mana to ult before he dies. Qiyana has a really janky item build that doesn't make much sense, and repeating crossbow is one of the worst items in the game. Stacking items on a Diana is a poor choice, ESPECIALLY one at 2 stars. You could maybe justify it at 3 stars, but at 2 it's just awful. Nocturne is just sort of there, and doesn't benefit from any of the synergies. Nocturne needs a specific set of items to be OP, the "blender" comp when you can get a BOTRK on him is the strongest comp in the game right now, but without the right items, he's just meh. He also has no +AD items so he might have high attack speed but he hits like a wet noodle. It seems like someone heard Nocturne was OP, but didn't know why or how so just threw him into their comp.
He should have sold his Nocturne to replace him with a front liner, and then put the items on the Kindred. And tried to replace the brand with Amumu, then maybe considered just settling for 6 inferno and focusing on getting shadow. This might free up room to grab something like clouds or mystics or wardens to counter what first and third have.
tl;dr:
ineffective Nocturne (also forgot to mention, Nocturne can get bursted down really fast without Steel synergy) Stacked items on a 2* Diana Incredibly Janky itemization, especially on Qiyana Useless Brand
If I had to make a guess....positioning?
I'm just dumbfounded theirs no lv3s... the 3rd place guy has 1......
My guess is alot of bs. I've had stupid wins where I've had less than you and won, and completely unfair wins where I have 6lv3 mage comp with brand my only lv2.
kind of a multi layer answer. Basically your Team created a lot of disruption. Kha and Lucian / Kindred bouncing around doing dmg and killing ppl Then you had the Swarm going with Malz and Annie (i can't see 1 of your other champs but i'm guessing it's like a Azir?) Swarm in general is a pretty cost effective way of winning and Annie is 1 of the best.
Everyone else is just there because they had some sort of survival to where they kept ppl from focusing your primary carries
Also Varus is great and executing ppl when they get low, Inferno bonus helps him so much.
Honestly I've won with teams similar but with less items, your team had a lot of Aoe dmg and a lot of items that also did Aoe dmg and if anyone ever got low Kha was there to quickly kill them and then bounce to the next one.
Anything with any sort of Swarm (malz/zyra/annie/azir/zed/etc) can be plugged into almost comp, I made a post about it when the set first hit cause I would just get Malz and Zyra sit on them and eventually get a Kindred and just go from there.
He didn't have the correct items. At most he would have killed 1-3 of your back line. His Nocturne couldn't get off his ability passive because of his rapidfire, his diana had tank items, qiyana 3rd item is useless because the carries will die first, he hadno front line, kindred had no items, red buff countered any heal he had, making diana useless, his Lux probably died off fairly quickly because of khazix, he couldn't get his ults off fast enough for inferno to work. Qiyana made noc noc even more useless, he couldn't find a spatula for blademaster noc. The inferno you had with the inferno class item probably was able to get off inferno more quickly.
most 6 and 9 class traits are lackluster. Rolling for 3 stars is better.
He should have just stayed lvl 8 and rolled for t3 units and sold of the nocturne and put those items on kindred or lux. Trade the Diana for a Zed for 3 summoners.
How come I can't reliably get such good match history details?!
Where is this from? I'm rubbing sticks together here...
