What comps do you prefer in plat+ games?

The comp I used to climb up to plat seems to be doing poorly in this ranked group. I’m assuming it’s because I’m not playing against people from iron-plat at this point and I have to actually use brain cells to do well, but lord knows I don’t have many of those to spare lol.

I was building relatively the same comp every game and always hitting top 4, normally 1-2 regardless of item build (ideally I’d itemize the rangers but sometimes you don’t get what you want and that’s fine, gotta make it work)

It was the following comp:

4 ranger (Ashe kindred Vayne Varus) 3 noble (Leona Vayne Garen/Kayle) 2 knight (Garen/Kayle Mordekaiser) 2 guardian (Leona Braum) 2 glacial (Braum Ashe)

I liked this build because I didn’t have to rely on getting Kayle to get the full build, since Garen would just be swapped out for her anyway.

But it doesn’t seem to be as viable at this tier, from the couple games I tried last night. I’m just curious what others in plat+ like to run so I can get some new ideas and test them out later today.

6 Knight + 2 Draven.

-55 damage all is hugely OP as a wall block for a 900 critter who can only be killed in said game by a lucky Blitzcrank, a Lucky assassin (surrounded) or map large aoes.

That -55 damage negates a ton of Red Buff, Anivia, etc...... a lot of effects that do tick damage. It can almost entirely negate Static Shiv if your team has cloak based items.

Once Kayle is in the picture, between the front line sustain item/skills and the buff, they simply don't die to almost any build.

6 nobles and guardians.

Strong early, weaker mis till you get Leona. Then weak end till you get kayle.

Save econ for kayle. After that you stomp.

Carries are garen vayne and Lucian.

i dont play this to much but i like 4 rangers in plat games with knights in front Ashe Sejuani Mordekaiser Kindred Varus Vayne with later spots being free choices from Darius Garen Kayle Karthus [this one replace Mordekaiser of course] Chogath Gnar Poppy and sometimes even Pyke is thrown in
