Do you think my comp is strong?

Nine yordles and six sorcs; seemingly impossible, right? Well it is practically, but not actually, impossible. You just need to get four spatulas, all the other right components and make it to level nine.

This was what my team comp looked like (excluding irrelevant items):

Tristana Lulu Veigar Poppy Kennen Gnar (Yuumi) Ahri (Mittens) Morgana (Mittens) Aurelion Sol (Mittens)

Basically I managed to get a spatula from the three first carousels, was lucky enough to get three sparring gloves from drops and on top of that I picked up a Yuumi from the carousel before dragon. (Sidenote: I got a BoTRK from dragon so i actually had five spatulas. The last one was just useless). My team was pretty much unkillable because they all obviously resisted physical damage since every unit had a 90% dodge chance. On top of that my Lulu had a dragon claw meaning she was practically invincible to physical and magic damage and could just spam her spell to keep the rest of the team alive when they got low from taking magic damage.

This was not PBE. It was ranked. I am platinum II. Yes, i did win.

Everybody knows about this. You're the 200th person to make a post boasting that they got 9 yordles and/or explaining how to do it.

Okay, sorry if I was over-informative. Still though, nine yordles and six sorcerers is a really hard comp to get. I'm not boasting my skill, I'm simply sharing my luck. I was just showing off an incredibly powerful team comp that I don't think many people have seen/used.

That's one of those dreams I had when mittens first came out, except you got to live it. I bet that felt great =D

Yeah, it was probably my best TFT moment. Especially since I was losing up until I put in the ninth yordle. When I got to top 2 the other guy had like 70 health and I was below 20 but I just couldn't lose so I beat him five times in a row and won the game.

Getting 3 Spatulas is extremely rare and in those scenarios almost anything you do with them is going to be very strong. You can make FoN and finish a synergy or add up to 3 pieces to a synergy. Blademaster, Yordle, Sorcerer all benefit from 3 Spat items. Then you have ones like Demon and Glacial that only require one or two spats in order to boost given they're 2 unit benchmarks.

So yes, your comp is strong. But looking at a 9 piece comp when lv9 absolutely isn't a guarantee and requiring 3 spatulas to make it a thing isn't realistic when discussing theories on comp strength and the meta. You should start from a 6-7 piece core and figure out how you can expand it realistically. Like if you're going to use a core that's got 3 Sorcerer, 3 Yordles and something else mixed in then you have a core you can expand upon with various unit options, a strategy, and dream team items like Mittens. As is though, you're discussing a comp you'll probably get to make in less than 1/100 games since Spatulas are high priority for a lot of comps.

Yeah, going for this comp definitely isn't a valid strategy or a game plan you can rely on and I was very weak early on and almost lost before i hit lvl 9. I'm not saying that this is a comp you should try to build in this meta. I'm just saying I was lucky enough to get the spatulas, was willing to risk a loss for the meme of having this crazy comp at lvl 9 and ultimately managed to get it. Getting those items, units and not dying before lvl 9 was all luck so yeah, this is not a meta comp.

Only thing that throws me off on that is the yumi on gnar, he only has one cast so neither the increased mana gain nor the AP are all that great on him compared to poppy or kennen who both get really nasty with the double mana and extra ap

Yeah, Yuumi on Kennen makes a lot of sense but my damage was mainly coming from A-sol and Morg so I just wanted the Gnar to ult faster since an early Gnar ult can sometimes win you the game if it's good. In this particular case my Gnar managed to usually ult before my A-sol which often lined up the enemy team perfectly for the A-sol ult.

Sire HippingtonOct 8, 20191 votes

makes sense if you don't have tears for gnar, his ult IS broken and usually wins fights on it's own, so makeing sure he gets it out in time is quite reasonable

If it requires 4 spatulas, it's not a comp that you would ever plan to have. Not viable unless it's also viable at 0-1 spatulas

I've already stated that this is not a meta comp or a comp you could really "plan to have". It's just a lucky once in a lifetime comp I managed to get this one time and I wanted to share it.
