Top Team Comps #117: Ultimate Submarine Comp

Stealthy Speed

Here's a fun team composition that's incredibly annoying to avoid and difficult to play around. By picking up Shen and Yuumi, you can effectively send three champions into the fray via one Nocturne ultimate. Meanwhile, picking up Kai'Sa in this team composition gives you an additional engagement method in case your Nocturne is a little too far for Yuumi to attach to.

Champions

Kai'Sa [Bot] - One of the most popular marksmen in the game, Kai'Sa ends the game sporting stealth and a massive long-range gap-closer. When you tack on a Shen ultimate and Yuumi in the fray, this gives your team extremely long-range power and a nearly unkillable marksman.

---

Zilean [Mid] -  Zilean's abilities are three times as effective when you're speeding up a unit with two more attached to it. For an added bonus, you can toss a bomb onto their heads for some extra damage as well.

---

Yuumi [Support] - Despite various nerfs to Yuumi, she's still very viable in the current meta. She's not the powerhouse she once was, but when you put her on a team like this you really start to see how she can shine. By channeling her ultimate during Nocturne's ultimate, she effectively instantly CC's the entire enemy team mid-air. Meanwhile, her speed boost/heal drives her allies to speeds comparable with Predator level when you combine it with Zilean's boost.

---

Nocturne [Jungler] - The ultimate long-range vehicle, Nocturne is the ultimate delivery vehicle to bring both Shen and Yuumi into the fray. Alternatively, he can also just let Kai'Sa ult in with the support squad and jump in right after.

---

Shen [Top] - The original submarine champion himself, Shen has a nasty habit of appearing where he isn't wanted. Meanwhile, when he gets a bit of a movement speed boost he becomes incredibly terrifying, even if you're packing a QSS. When you combine him with both Yuumi and Zilean, expect to see an inescapable ninja in action.

Key Concepts

• Learn the timing of Shen ultimate so you can pop out right when Nocturne or Kai'Sa lands
• Use your voice communications to ensure maximum synergies

Countering

Countering this team involves heavy disengage and anti-movement/engagement champions.

Here is an example team that may succeed:

• Heimerdinger [Mid] - The campiest mid lane of them all, Heimerdinger ensures that anyone trying to hard engage will struggle immensely...when they try and get back out.

• Jarvan IV [Jungle] - Against a team with this much movement speed, stopping them in their tracks is vital to winning the game. Jarvan gains the ability to lock in almost their entire team when the package is delivered.

• Illaoi [Top] - Similar to Heimerdinger, Illaoi is an excellent stand and fight champion that is difficult to kill off the bat and revels when more champions are nearby.

• Brand [Support] - Packing so many champions tightly together is Brand's dream come true. Massive AOEs will make enemies think twice about putting all their eggs in one basket.

• Xayah [Marksman] - When it comes to anti-Nocturne marksmen, Xayah is likely your best choice and will able to dodge Nocturne's ult damage with her own.

Overall this team is very as well, but lacking in crowd-control.
