Meta Snapshot Summary

Riot is going as Witch Morgana for Halloween.  We got Tricked cuz they accidentally added a Morgana buff (not included in patch notes).  HOWEVER, we got a Treat because I still think there are many other viable compositions.

Even though there are a lot of S tier comps, Morgana is still S+.

UPDATE: THE MORGANA BUFF HAS BEEN REVERTED.  ENLIGHTENS ARE STILL GOOD, JUST NOT S+ ANYMORE

S: Enlightened, Elderwood Ashe, Dusk, Ahri Vanguard Mystic
A: Sharpshooter, Duelist, Cultists
B: Ninja Shade, Akali Carry, Shade Spirit, Moonlight Diana, Warlords, Moonlight Lissandra
C: Veigar Carry, Wukong Carry, Moonlight Aphelios, Mage Reroll, 6 Fortune

You can transition into this comp with almost anything.  You just need the right items. I do prefer Assassin transitions into this or Janna early games.  

You can go for 6 Enlightened, 4 Assassin, more Mystics, Random legendaries

Counters

  • Positioning around Talon so he gets stuck on a tank.
  • Positioning units away from your carry so that Morgana doesn’t target your carry

Ashe + Anything (Elderwood, Hunters, Brawlers)


One Trick or Treat? - TFT Tierlist Patch 10.22 Meta
5 Hunters is really popular right now, but you can legit play Ashe with any 7 units

Difficulty: Medium
Item Dependency: Medium
Variance: Low

Chosen: Brawler, Elderwood, Hunter

Requirements:

  • Chosen Elderwood or Brawler.  Sometimes Hunter works.

  • Brawler starts

 Item Holder:
Kindred, Aphelios How to Play

Play strongest board.  Use Tahm Kench as tank item holder.  Use almost any DPS unit to item hold for Ashe.  I prefer Aphelios.  Go 8, play a combination of Elderwood (3/6/9) + Brawler (2/4/6/8) depending on your Chosen trait and what champions you hit naturally.  Go 9, play Sett and other legendaries.  Put AP and tank items on Set.

Counters

  • Giant Slayer

4 or 6 Dusk + Random


One Trick or Treat? - TFT Tierlist Patch 10.22 Meta

  • Early Cultist Chosen helps a ton because you can transition to this comp from Cultist very easily

 Item Holder:
Elise, Jarvan 

How to Play

Riven Items: If 6 Dusk, go full defensive items.  If 4 Dusk, give her 1 offensive item such as Ionic Spark, Blue Buff, or Hat.  Play early Cultist to win streak and play strongest board.  Roll on 7 until stable on 4-1 or 4-2.  Roll until stable on level 8 at 5-1 or 5-2.  Leftover Items on Jhin or a tank.

Counters

  • Jhin is good against Riven

  • 2 Damage Items for Ahri + either Shojin or Guardian Angel
  • Tank Items on Sejuani (2 or more)

Play strongest board and use a ranged caster to hold Ahri items.  Slam other non Ahri items to preserve health.   Roll for Ahri on either 7 or 8 depending on your HP and Gold.  

Ahri Items: Jeweled Gauntlet + Hat is the highest DPS for 2 items.  Other items that work is Double Hat, Double Jeweled Gauntlet, Jeweled Gauntlet Infinity Edge.  Guardian Angel can replace Shojin.

A Tier: Solid Team Comps. Weaker, less flexible, requires more luck than S-Tier

Sharpies are taking a break in A tier because they are countered by Talon and Morgana

Difficulty: Medium

  • Just the champions, not much else.   Super flexible because any items work.

How to Play

You can go 4 or 6 Sharpshooter

Constantly make items early.  Almost any item works on Jinx (mana, ability power items).  Sword Items on Jhin.  Tank items on Sejuani.  Random support items on Teemo.  Luden’s and Blue Buff Teemo is interesting as well.

Can slow roll for Jinx 3* if you have a lot of her at level 7.  If not, level up and just play strong units.

  • Aatrox if no Quicksilver

Right now Cultist is a mid game comp. You generally transition into Dusk or random legendaries

Chosen: Dusk, Cultist, Keeper, Sharpshooter

  • Early Cultist Chosen helps a ton, but you can pretty much go this every game (assuming normal ‘luck’)

Item Quadrant

The closer to the Top Right, the better and more versatile the item is. Avoid items on Bottom Left if possible.

Strength (y-axis) is based on how effective an item is in the situations where it is most used.  Items that are strong at all stages of the game are listed higher.

Versatility (x-axis) is based on both the number of Compositions an item fits in and Champions an item is used on.  Versatility is also how often you could build an item.

Methodology

Even though I was Challenger in Set 1 and Grandmaster in Set 2, I know there are many players better than me.  This is why I scout the Top 10 players in all major regions and analyze what they play and how they play each composition to make this Tier List.  Tiers are determined by what I think will get you the highest average rank.  This means that while one composition might be super strong late game, it may be difficult to acquire, so it may not be S-Tier.  For example, it is difficult to win with certain compositions, but extremely easy to Top 4.  Rankings within a tier are very close together.  Always try to play with what makes sense for every game, and adapt to your lobbies with proper tech choices.

DifficultyItem Dependency, and Variance are listed.  Difficulty is how hard the composition is to play.  Difficulty does not factor into the strength or viability of the composition but serves as a factor for new players.  Item dependency is how important specific items are to the composition.  Variance is the approximate placement range of the composition.  For example, a consistent Top 4 composition has Low variance.  A composition that either places 1st or 8th has a High variance. If I mention that a composition is Forcible, it means that you can play this comp every game.

Tier placement assumes strong play.  Refer to Difficulty metric before attempting to play.

  1. Many players say rageblade isn’t the best item on Ashe anymore, especially after crits bug fix. What do you think?

    • I would say, Rageblade is still very close to the top if not the best.
      The crit bug fix is also important for rageblade as it is for infinity edge.
      Though it is important to note that, if you play 5 hunters, obviously the fights tend to end very very quickly so rageblade isnt as good as it cant scale.
      If you play 8 brawlers though, endgamefights still can last as long as the whole duration.
      which is insane value you get of rageblade.

    • I agree, IE is much better on her now

  2. You could mention that you can transition into enlighten morgana out of ludens echo nami very easily. Nami beeing the item holder for Morgana and an easy replacement. As Mage nami just needs 2-3 boards slot you have a lot of space for other good units.
    If you get it ofcourse.
