Top Team Comps #23: Gotta Go Fast!

SONIC the Hedgehog would approve of this team composition. Well, he would probably approve of it more if Rammus was in it instead of this funny looking horseboy. Either way, if speed is your king, then try out this team composition on for size! It features a few underplayed heroes like Hecarim and Sivir, but if you get the proper team to build around them, they can still be very powerful.

SUGGESTED LINEUP Top: Jayce Mid: Orianna Jungle: Hecarim AD Carry: Sivir Support: Nunu

ADVANTAGES: - Strong AOE damage - Good steroids - Good poke - Good synergy

DISADVANTAGES: - Very Straightforward - No sustain - Skill-based - Mediocre CC - Needs coordination

If you really want to put Rammus into jungle then you can, but Hecarim's synergizes better with this composition overall.

Ok...

STRATEGY:
The strategy in this team composition is to first poke the enemy team down via Sivir and Jayce, or even Orianna if they have poor engagement opportunities. As for this team, you have a few different major engagement possibilities:

1. Sivir ult + Hecarim runs in and ults
2. Orianna hits a sweet ult and Sivir + Hecarim run in to ult
3. Nunu empires them as they walk into a bush and then release the aforementioned chaos.

The great part of this team is that if can see them on the map in mid lane, they're probably close enough to engage on. It's difficult to judge exactly how fast this team is on the map, and the answer is usually...faster than you think. Once you get Shurelya's Reverie, Hecarim just might break the sound barrier when he starts his charge.

COUNTER-STRATEGY
Since this team goes for very straightforward initiations, assassins can get behind and wreck havoc on Orianna and Sivir. The team is also also a little lacking in CC, so they can easily get counter-initiated on by champs like Malphite.

Generally, you should stay together; even Nidalee and Teemo can easily get chased down and killed by this team, but as long as you stay together and manage to make them blow their ults at poor times, you can easily win.

While this team is very strong if they synergize their ults properly, without one or two key ults their teamfight starts to fall apart very quickly. Just don't get caught out! (Easier said than done).
