Warriors
Although not possessing overwhelming power, the Warrior team is still a safe choice for players to climb the ranks at this time. With the champion traits of the Warriors, no matter what items you receive, this composition can still perform at a decent level. If you get too many attack speed items, players can elevate Shyvana to be the main carry. In case you have many Giant’s Slayers, Nunu & Willump or Sett are the carries you should aim for.
Even if you receive only defensive items, champions like Maokai, Tahm Kench, Cho’Gath… become sturdier than ever. If you find yourself in a position where you need to switch compositions due to receiving bad items, the advice is to choose the Warrior team. This composition can effectively utilize all types of items in the game and ensures that players won’t waste resources after crafting items.
Guardian
With balanced power from the start to the end of the match, the Guardian composition is considered the top meta in Teamfight Tactics currently. Not stopping there, this team comp is not picky about items, and players can build the Guardian team in every match. Naturally, items like Guardian Angel and Morello’s Evil Tome are ideal for Kennen. However, this piece can also perform well with “bad” items like Warmog’s Armor, Static Shiv, or even Thornmail.
If you receive too many items leaning towards physical damage, Xayah is a reliable carry for players. Xayah’s skills also deal physical damage and interact with critical effects. Therefore, Xayah will make excellent use of items like Infinity Edge and Bow of the Hunter. If you feel that the current items don’t align with your composition, the Guardian choice is appropriate as it will enhance the power of many types of items.
Cultists
Many players using the Cultist composition often tend to underestimate skill damage items. This mindset is extremely misguided and can lead to frustrating losses. We need to remember that champions like Twisted Fate and Vladimir can deal very good damage in the early game. If these pieces possess many items from Giant’s Slayer, they can carry the whole team through the early game.
Besides the worst-case scenario of receiving bad items as mentioned, crafting items with the Cultist team can be extremely easy. You can make Aatrox and Elise nearly immortal with strong tank items. Meanwhile, in the backline, Sivir and Kalista can deal damage very effectively with various types of items. Even in the case where you pick up too many Tear of the Goddess, crafting them for Zilean will help the Cultist team become much more resilient.
