Champions

Jinx [Bot] - She doesn't have the strongest early game, but what she lacks she makes up in late-game dominance. Once she gets a kill in a team fight it's nearly impossible to catch her or avoid her follow-up.

---

Katarina [Mid] -  When it comes to 1v5 pentakills Katarina is the champion that comes to mind. She doesn't need the kill to reset, but with the amount of execute damage on this team she can easily jump into the fight just as the first target dies and snowball through the rest.

---

Pyke [Support] - The multi-kill support god, Pyke allows this team to engage and crowd-control enemies. Overall there's not too much to be said here but he does need to get the execute in order to get the reset.

---

Fiddlesticks [Jungler] - Most players would assume we'd put Master Yi into this composition, but personally I think Fiddlesticks fits in better. He's certainly able to 1v5 by himself, but also provides some much-needed initiation and initial damage output for this team to follow-up on.

---

Darius [Top] - This guy's going to be fighting with Pyke for the resets, but the good news is at least one of them will probably get it. Overall, he adds some crucial bulk and early game dominance to this team and rounds out the relatively weak early game in other lanes.

---

Key Concepts

• Don't be afraid to have Pyke and Darius execute the same target. As long as someone gets the first kill it's only a matter of time before the next one falls.

Countering

Countering this team involves denying the resets and snowballing early to prevent a gnarly demise.

Here is an example team that may succeed:

• Galio [Mid] - A welcome addition to any team, Galio provides a strong front line that's difficult to reset off of.

• Kindred [Jungle] - The ultimate kill denier

• Kayle [Top] - Same as Kindred

• Taric [Support] - Super obnoxious when paired with Kindred

• Kalista [Marksman] - Makes it even harder to kill Taric

This team composition isn't terribly strong, but it's definitely obnoxious enough to frustrate the pentakill comp.
