The Assassin and Revenant composition with Nocturne and Fiddlesticks
If you feel like you want to take the Assassins can have trouble getting top 1 because they are difficult to play one on one, they very often allow you to get a top 2, 3 or 4. nocturne is your most reliable carry, especially if you can pass it 3 stars with a strategy of slow roll at level 8.
However, this composition becomes much more powerful when you find a Assassin Spatula, allowing you to play 6 Assassins. fiddlesticks is the best champion to change into Assassin with magic power items, but other options like Lee Sin 3 stars ou Gwen can also work.

Other Interesting Items
Iron Solari Medallion : Since you can position your Assassins online, this item is very relevant, and you can play several copies of it (including the radiant version).
morellonomicon : Anti-healing and burn damage are interesting in the vast majority of games. This item is fine volibear.
Zeke's Crest : It can be very interesting to boost the attack speed of your nocturne.
Items for Viego: If you find viego early in the game, you can equip items to him. It works great with a blue buff, for an Guardian angel and Pistolame hextech for example. Otherwise, you can always give him Thief's Gloves.
The best radiant items
Always try to choose radiant items according to what you need : if you don't have all the items in your main carry yet, take a light item from it. Conversely, if he already has three items, favor utility or items for a secondary carry.

What to choose as an emblem (spatula object)?
Assassin ( + ): Logically this Spatula is the most relevant, allowing you to increase to 6 Assassins by going to fiddlesticks. Gwen with a sacred clothe blue buff et Lee Sin 3 stars with magic power are also interesting in Assassins.
Revenant : You can become 5 Revenants with this item by putting it on viego for example.
Otherwise, you can use other more versatile emblems like Mystique ou Forgotten (Forgotten).

As usual, the Force of nature is always a great option.
Positioning Tips
Your Assassins want to be positioned in different places depending on their role: nocturne et Diana want to jump straight into opposing carries if possible. Pyke meanwhile wants to be the opposite that he goes to stun them with his spell. viego prefers to be in a corner where he is not too targeted, allowing him to capture 2 or 3 champions before dying. Finally, fiddlesticks prefers to be in the middle of the fray.
You must therefore scout on a regular basis to see which side the players you are most likely to encounter are positioned on. An interesting tip for Knowing who you are going to play against is as follows: with 8 players, you cannot play against one of the last 5 opponents you have faced. With 7 players it's against the last 4, etc. Thanks to this trick, you can predict a little better who you will face and target their carries.
For your volibear, you can either put it in frontline so that it hits as many opponents as possible. If you're playing against players who stack their units in a corner, you can conversely put all your units in the back row to force melee champions forward, freeing up more space for your Assassins to reach. the backline.
