For every League of Legends player, getting a beautiful Pentakill brings a feeling of “something special” that is very proud. Therefore, Riot Games understands and caters to gamers by designing several champions with a very high chance of earning a Pentakill, and these champions are also very strong in the current meta.
Here are the strongest champions with the highest potential for Pentakills in the meta:
Pyke
In recent updates, Pyke has been able to wreak havoc in the mid lane with the super rune Rain of Blades. However, even now, despite not going mid, Pyke remains one of the top support champions in the meta.
During the laning phase, Pyke can threaten many champions with his Q+E combo. Since Pyke always builds full lethality, the damage is enough to finish off any enemy at this stage. Therefore, even if the enemy jungler comes to gank, Pyke can take the risk of trading 1 for 1 with “trade off”. Pyke can also maintain good health with his passive Gift of the Drowned, minimizing the poke damage from enemies.
Once he obtains his ultimate and a few core items like Youmuu’s Ghostblade + Mobility Boots, Pyke can roam around the map solo or with the jungler, easily “hacking gold” with his ultimate. Especially in chaotic team fights, Pyke always has the potential to secure a Pentakill with his consecutive Death from Below ultimates. Many people say, “You have to work to reap rewards,” but sometimes allies have already lowered enemies’ health to the lowest possible, allowing Pyke to easily secure multiple kills without much effort.
Darius
Rated as the champion with the highest damage in League of Legends at level 1, Darius players who can push opponents away from the first wave of minions will gain an upper hand in the laning phase. Especially with the healing mechanism from Crippling Strike (Q), Darius has great potential to turn things around, taking down multiple enemies is not impossible.
Some recommended items for Darius
In team fight situations, Darius’s strength lies in his durability and healing, while his threat comes from the stackable passive Bleed alongside the true damage of his ultimate Noxian Guillotine. At times, if he can grab multiple enemies with Decimate (E), allies can unleash area damage freely, and Darius has a very high chance of securing a Pentakill thanks to his ultimate.
Irelia
Similar to Lee Sin, Irelia is one of the few champions with a flashy yet effective playstyle. During the laning phase, Irelia’s power is somewhat “humble” compared to other top meta champions. However, with her versatile skill set, Irelia can still farm under tower or retaliate fiercely if the opponent makes a mistake.
In particular, the power of Blade Dancer is maximized when both teams start a 5v5 team fight. With runes, items, and skills, Irelia becomes stronger the longer the fight lasts. If she uses her ultimate, Transcendent Blade, accurately, Irelia can easily “dance” back and forth attacking the entire enemy team, making her potential for a Pentakill quite significant.
With such high damage, coupled with Challenge Dance (W) providing excellent damage reduction, Irelia is also very hard to take down, making it very difficult for the enemy team to deal with Irelia without proper preparation.
