In patch 10.8, there are many ridiculously strong compositions that players fiercely compete for, leading to situations of “dying together” when champions are stolen. To avoid this situation, you can refer to the strongest compositions of “Mr. Bull” in patch 10.8. These compositions may not be the hottest, but they will help you climb the ranks more easily as few will contest your champions.
9 Reckless Composition
The strength of this composition lies in Aurelion Sol and Miss Fortune – a duo that can wipe out the enemy team without much help from teammates. Additionally, Kayle also has substantial damage when activated with both Blademaster and Reckless, capable of last hitting enemies that are still “breathing” with the double damage of the Saint after the skill combo from the two 5-cost champions.
Besides the enormous primary damage source mentioned above, this composition also has excellent tankiness as all 9 champions have shields from Reckless. Champions like Master Yi, Yasuo, Malphite, Ziggs,… can withstand enough time for the main carry to use their skills. Moreover, arranging the team this way will give Aurelion Sol an additional 2100 shields along with 90% damage unaccounted for by items – making him a destroyer flying across the map slaughtering the enemy team.
The weakness of this team is that it requires 2 Reckless Emblems to activate 9 Reckless, and these items cannot be rolled, so you’ll have to rely on luck.
10 Chess Composition with “Super Mage Xerath”
It will be a bit challenging to build this composition as it consists of 10 champions on the board. Therefore, you can play this composition in a “broken” version missing one champion or wait for the right match of Celestial Island (free 1 Celestial Armor at level 5) to use.
As for the strength of the composition, the primary damage source will come from Xerath with a combo of 2 Guinsoo’s Rageblades (Xerath’s attack speed also matches the meteor shooting speed when transformed), combined with a Spear of Shojin to avoid interruptions.
The champions at the front of the composition will be responsible for tanking with 4 Vanguard + 2 Mystic very robustly. Among them, Lux and Mordekaiser can sacrifice early to increase damage for Xerath. Thresh will be the perfect card to pull more champions down to buy time for Xerath while activating Chrono and Sorcerer. Kassadin is a hard counter to the Assassin team (disabling Shaco) and activates Cosmic for the whole team. Lastly, Karma will buff shields and attack speed for Xerath and can swap places if necessary.
Super Energy Composition with Syndra 3 “Holy Grail”
Although she is “stuffed” with many items, Syndra is primarily a carry for pumping energy to the whole team rather than dealing damage. In this composition, Vel’Koz will be the main damage dealer with the ability to spam skills continuously.
The champions responsible for crowd control will be Xerath, Lux, Zoe, and Lulu. Among them, Lulu can hex the enemy team continuously with the overwhelming energy from Syndra 3 Holy Grail, from Star Guardian, and from her own items. Neeko at the front line can also stun a wide area, but as a tank, she can only use her skill once before being taken down. Finally, Soraka, who also receives a lot of energy, can continuously heal the entire team. If you can get Soraka to 3 stars, placing her next to Neeko will allow her to fully heal the team each time she uses her skill.
However, the weakness of this team is the need to find a Star Guardian’s Blessing to allow Lulu to continuously spam her skill.
