All of these champions require a certain level of synergy among teammates, just like professional teams, but these names are particularly powerful when they can unleash their full potential. You can also take advantage of them in your 5v5 Flex Ranked matches with friends.
Mordekaiser – Top Lane
In the laning phase, Mordekaiser can match up evenly against many champions that are currently popular in the meta. With good farming, strong turret defense, and a skill set that includes both damage and healing, Mordekaiser can control the wave if needed.
As the game progresses, Mordekaiser’s strength becomes apparent in team fights against champions who prefer to engage. When Ornn, Sett, Wukong, and others use their ultimates, Mordekaiser can immediately pull them into the Realm of Death (R) to thwart their team fight plans. Alternatively, if he wants to engage, Mordekaiser can also contribute significantly with his E ability.
In pick-off situations, Mordekaiser’s ultimate is not just for soloing opponents but also for keeping enemies within a certain range, waiting for the team to come and secure the kill. Therefore, in the professional arena, Mordekaiser is quite a terrifying champion with the ability to counter team fight champions.
Ezreal – AD Carry Bottom Lane
In the early game, Ezreal still plays as usual, stacking the Tear of the Goddess to build the Manamune. The goal at this stage is to farm safely, poke the enemy when possible, and take turret plates with W as much as possible.
In the mid-game, this is when Ezreal starts to reach a power level that can threaten the entire enemy team. By this point, Ezreal has built the Muramana, followed by either the Trinity Force or, if he wants to be tanky, the Iceborn Gauntlet. After that, Ezreal will build the Guardian Angel — which helps him become more resilient with just enough armor and magic resistance to survive team fights. Coupled with the Blade of the Ruined King and runes, Ezreal’s lifesteal potential peaks.
In professional play, Ezreal’s ability to maintain position in the team is quite solid, allowing him to deal continuous damage from the middle rather than being stuck in the backline with limited damage output.
Varus – AD Carry Bottom Lane
In the laning phase, Varus is a champion that puts immense pressure on the opponent. Varus can maintain wave control to farm effectively, pushing lanes at will. During the lane phase, opponents must constantly focus on dodging Varus’s Piercing Arrow (Q) and Hail of Arrows (E); just a moment of distraction can lead to losing half their health in an instant.
In the later stages of the game, before each large objective fight, Varus is always allowed to poke first. Once the enemy gets hit by 1-2 Piercing Arrows, they often lack the health to engage evenly, leading to an “all-in” attack on the enemy. In professional play, teams that prefer poke compositions will choose champions like Nidalee, Jayce, Corki, etc., to diversify long-range damage and maximize poke potential before a fight.
