Top Team Comps #117: Ultimate Submarine Comp

Stealthy Speed

Here's a fun team composition that's incredibly annoying to avoid and difficult to play around. By picking up Shen and Yuumi, you can effectively send three champions into the fray via one Nocturne ultimate. Meanwhile, picking up Kai'Sa in this team composition gives you an additional engagement method in case your Nocturne is a little too far for Yuumi to attach to.

Aphelios 1-Shot Quadrakill Goes Viral

Aphelios 1 shot quadra, disgusting from r/leagueoflegends

Summoner AgeraRS dumpsters four people 100 to 0 from halfway across the map with a single spell, showing just why Patch 9.24b is nerfing Aphelios as fast as possible despite his low win rate in solo queue.

Some quick sleuthing shows that his build at the time was Essence Reaver, Runaan's Hurricane, Berserker Greaves, Infinity Edge, and Stormrazor, with max Q and Press the Attack (visual image below).

In case you're still confused about what the heck just happened even after watching it a few times, to break it down he had Infernum, the Flamethrower equipped.

• Moonlight Vigil [R] - Aphelios casts an AOE and deals instant damage, then locks onto each enemy hit
• Based on the main weapon equipped, Aphelios gets a secondary effect
• After a delay, basic attacks rain from the sky
• Infernum deals additional damage on the initial blast, then deals splash damage for each enemy champion hit in a 500 unit circle.
• C y @

Scaling Tier Lists | Late Game Power Level List | League of Legends

League of Legends LATE Game Tier List:

We've reached the last part of our three-part mini-series, and we're down to everyone's favorite and likely to be hotly contested form of the tier list...the LATE GAME Tier List.

To start this off, I'd like to start this off by saying that this isn't a theoretical maximum tier list where champions like Thresh or Nasus perma-scale and demolish everything in the game in one hit. Instead, let's think of this as a standard tier list for champions at the 35 minute+ point where you can expect to be sporting around 4 to 6 items and closing in on the level cap.

At this point, champions that simply scale hard to the point where they can 1v5 are obviously powerful, but champions with strong pick-potentially are equally important. Again, this list assumes that all elements are equal and you're not dealing with a snowballed 25 mejai stack Ziggs.

Weird Picks #127: 2.2 Second CD Zapper Jinx BUSTED?!

Guide to Playing Zapper Jinx

Here's a fun little build I ran into this morning, it's annoying AF and if you snowball it snowballs hard. The core of the build is to spam Jinx Zap, which drops down to an insanely low 2.2-second cooldown. If you combine this with the 2 second slow, you can perma-slow someone from long-range, making it the perfect addition to comps highlighting Lux or Morgana.

This guy AquaDragon on the NA server's been playing it non-stop and it seems like it's working pretty well...He generally picks him up as a top lane champion, but I could see this working mid-lane as well.
