Underrated Comps from a CN Challenger
We are back with another installment of underrated comps. These comps haven’t made it directly to our main Meta Tier List yet, but it may.
Here’s a link to his Profile Page on the account he plays on the EUW server.
As usual, you can find these comps on the Community Comps Page. These comps have been curated by DarkDraven (aka HOUMIPW Gapmaker), our CN player on the team.
Let’s get right into it.
4 Striker AD Flex (Sivir/Irelia)
Description:
Prioritize itemizing the striker who hits 2 first. You also need to roll at 7 for 2 Sivir & Irelia sometimes since Strikers are very contested in this patch. If both 1 star then Irelia is better than Sivir, but Sivir uses bows better.

Notes:
Strikers aren’t uncommon this patch, but here is his take on the comp. It’s a more aggressive playstyle that rolls at level 7 to make sure you hit before other players.
7 Cybers Mutant (Irelia/Kha)
Description:
Cybernetic is the best and most consistent mutatation in this patch imo, you have a very strong and smooth early mid game. Remember to push Lv8 or 9 for 7 Mutants instead of going for 3 stars.

Notes:
Synaptic Web is already very popular for playing around Malzahar carry, but this comp goes toward an Attack Damage direction. Irelia is also very contested, so be wary about that. Cho’Gath and Malzahar 3 aren’t important here, try to get 7 Mutant with good items for the AD carries.
Built Dif Zyra Rek (Built Different)
Description:
Your main carries are Zyra and Rek’Sai. Roll at 6 until 3 stars both of them. It can be very easy to hit 3 stars with Warwick and Talon reroll being popular this patch. High AS makes Shojin insane on Zyra. Run 2 Zyras mid game.

Notes:
This comp is definitely harder to pull off than other comps, but the Built Different Augment makes it possible. You don’t have to slow roll, and you can aggressively look for 3 stars, but that will depend how many other players in your lobby are slow rolling for 2-cost units.
Bull & Cowboys (GP/Lucian/Ali)
Description:
Roll at 7 for GP 3, Lucian 3, Ali 2. Also roll at 6 to have a strong stage 3. This comp is your easiest way to climb in this patch. Ali is better than Morgana if there is no AP items for Morgana, since your AP items go to Lucian.

Notes:
Twinshots aren’t unpopular, they’re just not as popular as other comps in the patch. Try this variation of Twinshots out to see how you like it.
5 Chem 4 Chals (Warwick)
Description:
3 stars Quinn is equally as important to Warwick in this comp to shut down enemy AD carry (Sivir, Draven). Tryndamere can carry Frozen Heart and spin into enemy team as a utility unit. Zac is your main tank. Titans and QSS are must on WW.

Notes:
This prob isn’t underrated but meh.
4 Arcanist Ahri
Description:
3 Star Vex is the main tank. Since Malzahar is contested by mutant players, we just use Malzahar to pivot into Ahri, AP comps are very flexible between each other since all carries use same items. Roll at 7 for 2 star Ahri.

Notes:
This is a nice middle ground between the 6 Arcanist comp and the 5 Syndicate comp. You can flex between variations depending on what you find and what Augments you have as well.
Wrap Up
And that concludes our second installment of underrated comps. We enjoy bringing this type of content to you to shed some light on some underrepresented comps and ideas. Don’t be afraid to try these out and fail.
Sometimes comps are underrated because they are more difficult to pilot or aren’t as easy to play. Even still, broadening your horizon will no doubt grow you into a better player.
