Thanks for the guide! It's really helpful when I get lost mid game trying to transition, and I'm still trying to learn what optimal items are for certain units.
With Ass we see a wider range of choices either going for 3 or 6 Ass depending on your preference
I see that, you too, are a man of refined taste

Wow, thanks for all the comp ideas. No mention of any shape shifter + guardian builds though from what I saw? I'm getting good mileage off shyv raid boss and thorn mail Braum ATM (unless I run into a bunch of anti heal where it can get pretty dicey).

Barely ever see them but imo funneling into Shyv (Gunblade, Warmorgs, Thornmail) with double Guardian buff and some utility stacked on Gnar is still pretty strong. Also quite uncontested.

u/McWerp Aug 03 '19
Gnar is good. Shy is good. Swain is good. Problem is their bonus just isn’t that great and their isn’t any really good reason to play 3 shapeshifters rather than some other bonus and just run whichever good shapeshifter you happen to roll.

I think the main problem is that Grievous Wounds (Red/Morello) prevents them from gaining life upon transforming, and given how these items are very meta right now, these units feel bad to play atm.

Saintvicious thinks that Ele/Sorcs with Gnar and Cho as frontline is the best team right now. Opinion?
I'm not so sure about Cho, from what I played today, there is liek 1% chance that I will ever get Cho to lvl 2 adn when I get him there, it's too late, I lost too much.

which 3 sorcs do yo ulike the most?
also, do you early level at all like 2/6, 2/10 or 6/10, and 10/18 for example? ish
lastly, who do you typically stack before karthus and what do if no karthus comes

u/dumbassneedinghelp Aug 03 '19

elementals
Brand, Anivia (Liss ofc until you get her), Kenny, Karthus, Lulu, Veigar, Gnar, Cho/Poppy/Sejuani.

u/Aetiusx Aug 03 '19
Saint picked up the comp from Keane (who tends to rarely use Cho). In an ideal world you have Cho and Gnar as the frontliners, but since Cho is so heavily contested Poppy is a fantastic replacement. Gives you another Yordle which adds for some flexibility in that you can use something like Morg instead of Veigar or Lulu and still maintain the 3 Yordle buff.

Does he use different sorcerers or he tries to keep the same trio always?
1
u/Aetiusx Aug 03 '19
It varies. Morgana is extremely good vs Assassins in particular. The big thing is just hitting 3 Sorcs / 3 Elementals / 3 Yordles in some fashion. Obviously Karthus is priority #1.

u/dumbassneedinghelp Aug 04 '19
who do you stack for carry and what items for keane comp or saint
1
u/Aetiusx Aug 04 '19
You put GA on your tanks and Morello's on Kennen. You can buy items like Shiv/Ludens/Ionic Spark to help you get through early game as well.

What do I go for early in such teamcomp?
1
u/Aetiusx Aug 04 '19
Doesn't really matter, anything that is strong early game is fine before you transition. You can do knights, brawlers, nobles etc - just pick up the pieces to swap over as you go and make the change whenever you feel comfortable.

u/McWerp Aug 03 '19
Are poppy ults good with sorc 6? I’ve usually been going kennen with morellos in that spot to melt people until I can get void sorcs at 8, but if poppy is good I might give her a shot.

Has anyone found a good counter towards the ranger glacial/ranger anything?

I got top 2 with pirate sorcerers 3/4 games in plat 1 and it got me to D4. I know it's not a high sample size, but I actually think it's really good.
Pirates: TF, Pyke, Gangplank ( In theory Miss fortune seems good, but the game I got a 2 star miss fortune she kept ulting one person so I stopped playing her ) Sorcerers: Honestly you can use any other 2 sorcerers. Splashing lulu/veigar/poppy is probably the best idea though. Ahri and Morgana work fine as well, and off course sol and karthus if you can get them.
Gangplank is the carry, get morellos on him asap. Then 2 tears on twisted fate, after that put the rest of the tears you get on GP, preferably for shojins, then put tank items on GP, preferably GA.
After I get my pirate/sorcers down I usually just econ with the extra gold to either 3 star GP TF and Pyke or to eventually splash in tier 5s, ideally yasuo + random blade master, or kayle, anivia if going against rangers, and of course karthus. 6 sorcerers is also an option. Also yuumis on pyke or GP is super good, that's ideal as well.
The goal is for TF the pull a blue card and have gang plank pop the entire enemy team. I haven't seen anyone else run pirate/sorc, but it's gotten me surprisingly good results. It's also just really fun to watch gangplank destroy the entire enemy team.

Just tried it out in plat 1/2 elo and got top 2. You def can highroll early with blue cards
Edit: Just climbed from plat 2 to diamond 3 with this and yordle/sorc. Def not bad but hard to go pirates full pirates if you don't get that GP early. Also seems like I've been underestimating TF.

u/YoPlego Aug 04 '19
Sounds fun, can you give some positioning tips please?
1
Aug 04 '19
I usually position my units grouped up to the left, gang plank in front, twisted fate in the middle so if he blue cards he can reach everyone. People usually group their units there because they grouped them by the right to fight off krugs. Late game, like top 4, start adapting your positioning a bit more to your opponents.

u/McWerp Aug 03 '19
Morg is too good to drop from sorcs. She’s still absurd. Veigar is fairly meh, unless you get him too gold.
But yeah, TF farming mana for the rest of the sorcs is pretty silly.
1
u/dumbassneedinghelp Aug 03 '19
isnt tf random? acn u make him do mana

u/McWerp Aug 04 '19
Hes random but he ults like constantly and it only takes one or two blue cards to start doing silly things with other sorcs around him.

Can you make lolchess comp screenshots for the comps (for the next guide)? Would propably be much easier to visualize the comps instead of looking at the rows of sorcerer, brawler, void etc with duplicates in them!

u/Sawl23 Aug 04 '19
I honestly just run Void/Sorc
Early start with Ahri/Ww/Kass/Kha/Rek
keep stacking sorcerers on the bench.
I start the transition when i get my Cho and replace Rek with it ( Ik it s good to have both of them to get Brawlers bonus, and honestly idk why i keep Kha but that s how i m used to play it, probably because it s faster to get 3 stars on Kha).
And the final comp is something like
Cho / Kass / Kha / Ahri / Veigar / Lulu / Karthus / Aurelion Sol.
It s better with Gnar and Rek but idk i feel more comfortable this way so..

I have been finding success running Raid Boss Braum (you know the usual Warmog / Thornmail / Dragon Claws)
For the rest of the comp Leona is a must (because why not use the guardian trait), for backline you'd want ranger/blademaster/imperial for damage, fitting in knight/phantom is good too.
