Zombie Composition
With the powerful charge from Sion, the burst damage potential of Kalista and Nunu, along with the addition of Fiddlesticks, the Zombie composition still appears weak towards the end of the match. The crowd control of Zombies fades away along with Ryze, making this composition, rich in damage and tankiness, too weak to compete in damage against other compositions late game. Adding Zyra is still not enough compared to a dominant Ryze that once appeared in Season 5.
Not to mention, Sion is now “tougher,” but his charge ability can be easily interrupted, so by the end of the game, the Zombie composition shows significant weaknesses. Even if players combine with Legion or Brawlers – Demons, the best they can hope for is to reach the top 4. Another factor is that the key champions needed for a strong Zombie composition are quite expensive (only Brand is the cheapest at 2 gold). In the worst-case scenario, players might get eliminated before they can even complete the composition. Because of this, Zombies have only about a 25% chance of making it to the top 4 and a win rate that fluctuates around 8%.
6 Warriors Composition
In the early and mid-game phases, it cannot be denied that 6 Warriors is a very balanced offense and defense composition; however, this only holds true until the late game begins and most players have already built their key champions with names that have long-range, area damage, or incredible mobility like Lucian, Vel’Koz, or Tristana. Even champions like Riven and Knight Yasuo can completely counter the 6 Warriors composition late game.
The reason 6 Warriors becomes weak is that for this composition to maximize its power, it requires both champions and items. In terms of items, both Irelia and Nidalee need gear and levels to be able to “carry the team,” not to mention Kennen also requires at least a Hextech Gunblade to utilize the strengths of his Burn Speed. Furthermore, late game, players need to have the two champions Jax and Viego as Olaf and Udyr prove to be too weak. With the introduction of Jax, there is also the need for additional items, which means players will continue to face challenges.
Moreover, while Warriors have durability and damage, they lack any champions capable of breaching the enemy’s backline apart from Nidalee and Kennen. However, by the time these two champions start using their abilities, it’s possible that the entire composition has already been nearly wiped out.
Sentinel Composition Centered Around Senna
Senna is a 1-cost champion with excellent damage and crowd control mechanisms against the opponent’s core. Additionally, with her low cost, Senna is easy to upgrade to 3 stars, and her items mainly focus on mana regeneration. “Easy to play, easy to win” as it may seem, but Senna is only strong in the early to mid-game, even at 3 stars. The reason is that within the Sentinel composition, there is no truly high-quality champion to “protect” Senna, and if players funnel all their gold to roll for a 3-star Senna, they might miss out on a better champion like Lucian.
Typically, compositions with 1-cost key champions need to be upgraded to 3 stars as quickly as possible, and it is crucial to have the right items. However, with champions like Lucian, Vel’Koz, or even Assassin compositions still being too strong, building a strategy around Senna could very well cause players to get stuck since her crowd control and damage are there, but not enough to eliminate the opponent’s key champion late game, while Senna herself lacks the durability or mobility to protect herself if targeted.
