Fiora – The Grand Duelist (Top Lane)
Why you should try Fiora:
- True Damage Mastery: Fiora excels in 1v1s with her passive and **Q (Lunge)**based trades.
- Split Push Power: With lifesteal and turret pressure, she forces the enemy team to respond.
- Outplay Potential: Her W (Riposte) can block key CC and turn fights in her favor.
- Scaling Threat: Few top laners match her scaling in side lane pressure and healing.
Who it's for: Fiora is great for top laners who enjoy skillful dueling, split pushing, and turning mechanical mastery into solo lane dominance.
Rammus – The Armordillo (Jungle)
Why you should try Rammus:
- Tanky and Simple: Strong into AD-heavy teams thanks to his armor-scaling and W (Defensive Ball Curl).
- Effective Ganks: His Q (Powerball) + E (Frenzying Taunt) combo reliably locks down targets.
- Low-Economy Scaling: He doesn’t need a lot of gold to be relevant mid-game.
- Annoying Presence: Rammus is disruptive in teamfights and hard to ignore due to his durability and taunt chain.
Who it's for: Rammus suits junglers who want consistent ganks, strong frontline presence, and a counterpick into physical damage comps.
Sylas – The Unshackled (Mid Lane)
Why you should try Sylas:
- Ultimate Theft: His R (Hijack) turns enemy power picks against them.
- Brawling Power: He thrives in skirmishes with sustain-heavy combos and chain CC.
- Flexible Builds: Can adapt between AP burst or bruiser depending on matchup and team needs.
- Waveclear and Roam: Strong push potential with Q (Chain Lash) for fast roams post-6.
Who it's for: Sylas is for mid laners who enjoy aggressive trades, teamfight utility, and adapting their play around enemy ultimates.
Jhin – The Virtuoso (ADC)
Why you should try Jhin:
- Calculated Burst: Jhin’s fourth shot, traps, and W (Deadly Flourish) make for a precise damage dealer.
- Lane Control: Strong in poke matchups and pairs well with CC supports.
- Zone Control: His E (Captive Audience) and R (Curtain Call) force enemies to play carefully.
- Satisfying Scaling: Despite his reload mechanic, his mid-game damage windows hit hard.
Who it's for: Jhin fits ADCs who like to control tempo, set up picks, and use long-range tools for team utility and kill pressure.
Nautilus – The Titan of the Depths (Support)
Why you should try Nautilus:
- Guaranteed Engage: Q (Dredge Line) into R (Depth Charge) is reliable lockdown.
- Tanky Frontliner: Builds full tank and still offers valuable CC and peel.
- Lane Kill Threat: Few supports offer as much level 2 kill pressure with ADCs.
- Teamfight Utility: His CC layering helps control skirmishes and protect carries.
Who it's for: Nautilus is perfect for supports who want to be the first to engage, start fights on their terms, and peel or dive with confidence.
