The Assassin/Brawler/Void comp has emerged since patch 9.15 and the Void origin revamp. It is based on two parts: the Brawlers who form an excellent front line, and the Assassins who take care of killing the opposing carries.

The composition
Rek'Sai (2) | Blitzcrank (2) | Warwick (1) | Cho'Gath (4) | Kha'Zix (1) | Akali (4) | Rengar (3) |
Assassin (3) : Assassin critical hits deal 125% more damage.
None (3) : Void champions deal pure damage.
Brawler (4) : Brawlers have +700 HP.
Wild (2) : Wild auto attacks generate stacks of Fury (up to 5). Each stack of Fury increases their Attack Speed ​​by 10%.
The carry of this team is indisputably Rengar. Taking advantage of the Assassin's bonus, but also of the synergy between his ultimate (which gives him attack speed) and the origin Wild, he can attack extremely fast and be the main DPS in the composition, with Akali ( Zed) and Kha'Zix for help.
At the same time, the different Brawlers are there to save time, especially Cho'Gath who can propel the whole opposing team into the air with his Rupture, and can benefit from a few items to help him. The fact that he inflicts pure damage, coming from the néant also increases its efficiency.
Preferred items
Dagger of Statikk | Thirst for blood | Guardian angel | morellonomicon |
→ The goal of this composition is to take advantage of the important DPS of Rengar, and in particular its enormous attack speed. This allows him to activate the Dagger of Statikk many times for interesting area damage.
→ Since it must be kept alive, the Bloodlust works really well, especially with his ultimate which guarantees a critical hit. In the event that he gets killed instantly, theGuardian angel is here to bring him back to life.
→ For other objects, a Morellomicon is very interesting on Cho'Gath which can hit multiple targets. One frozen heart may also suit him well.
→ Finally, other objects can be considered, such as a Herald of Zeke to boost the Assassins, or a Seraph's Embrace for Akali.
Game start and other options
→ There are two ways to start this composition: with three Assassins (Zed, Kha'Zix et Rengar in general), or with Brawlers (Blitzcrank, Rek'Sai, Warwick, Volibear).
→ The most difficult piece to obtain in this composition is Cho'Gath, since it unlocks both the Brawler and Void bonuses, but costs 4 gold and is highly contested. It may be interesting to level up to level 7 quickly to increase your chances of finding it.
→ It is possible to temporarily replace Cho'Gath by volibear or Kassadine for the Brawler and Void bonuses, just like Akali may be difficult to find and may be replaced by Zed.
→ This composition is very strong 7 units and doesn't gain hugely at higher levels. However, it is possible to add new assassins, including Pyke for his area stun.
Strengths and weaknesses
+ Composition is easy to get, Cho'Gath being the only "needed" unit at 4 range.
+ Rengar is hard to stop when he is well equipped, especially thanks to his ultimate which allows him to move during fights.
+ This composition is particularly strong in the early and mid game, and therefore can usually guarantee at least a top 4.
- If it is very effective in the middle of the game, it tends to run out of steam towards the end since it cannot really be improved.
- Since Rengar is the main carry, a simple stun or can render him totally ineffective.
