While it was starting to gain popularity in 9.18, it was really 9.19 that brought the "hyper roll" Knight/Ranger comp to the top of the meta. With her ability to obtain several units at level 3 and to defend herself very well, she is very effective.

The composition
We are (1) | Darius (1) | Mordekaiser (1) | Poppy (3) | Sejuani (4) | Vayne (1) | Kindred (4) |
Ghost (2) |
At the start of the fight, curses a random opponent whose HP increases to 100. |
Knight (6) (With ) |
All allies block 65 damage each time they take damage. |
Prowler (2) |
Every 3 seconds, Rangers have a 25% chance to double their Attack Speed ​​for 3 seconds. |
This composition has the advantage of being very resistant thanks to the bonus of 6 knights, and is mainly based on Vayne to inflict damage. Consequently, it will absolutely be necessary to obtain it at level 3 so that it does not run out of steam too much at the end of the game.
This build works great against all champions that deal physical damage, as it will block a lot of damage then. However, it is slightly less effective against Wizards for example, which inflict all their damage at once.
Preferred items
Guinsoo's Raging Blade | Giant Slayer | Ouragan de Runaan | Knight's Wish |
Vayne being the main carry of the team, she has 2 items in particular that are absolutely necessary: ​​the Guinsoo's Raging Blade and Giant Slayer. Together, they allow him to melt the HP of his opponents.
As a third choice, theOuragan de Runaan is often prized to allow him to apply his Silver Bolts to 2 targets, if not a second Giant Slayer also works. One Guardian angel can also be used if she is killed by Assassins.
Le Knight's Wish is very important since it allows you to obtain the 6 Knights without having to resort to Kayle, who is often difficult to find. It will be equipped on Kindred, which will also make her more resistant and give her time to use her ultimate.
For other objects, a guardian angel and a Morellonomicon are effective on Sejuani, but can also be equipped with Thread if you get it quickly at level 3.
Start of the game and progress
In order to get started in this composition, you will need: Curved arches (to make the objects for Vayne) and some knights in the first rounds. Thereafter, it will be necessary to apply a strategy of " hyper roll », which consists of spending your gold on rerolls at the start of the game to obtain level 3 champions.

The method is generally simple: save your gold up to the Krugs, trying to get 30 or even 40. In order to beat the Krugs, you will need at least 2 level 2 champions. If you don't have them, don't hesitate not to use a few rolls in order to be sure to win this round.
Then you have one more round where you can save, and the next round you will have to roll your gold in order to find Mordekaiser et Vayne priority level 3, Thread et Darius as a bonus. If you see other players trying this composition, you can try rolling one round earlier.
Then, save again to the wolves, then use a few more rolls if you haven't found all your champions. Keep all the same 12 gold to level up behind, then start saving and playing normally to get to level 7 or 8. Try to get all 6 Knights as fast as possible.
Positioning and options at the end of the game
Because Vayne is the main source of damage for this team, it is very important to protect it, especially against the Assassins. This kind of positioning generally allows him not to be put in too much danger.
If you fail to obtain a Knight's Wish, it is possible to pass 8 level and add Kayle to this composition for the 6 knights. It also brings a bonus of 3 nobles with Thread et Vayne, although this one is fairly anecdotal at this point.
Other than Kayle, there aren't too many very strong choices to improve composition at level 8. Ashe ou Anivia can work for the bonus Glacial, Or Swain ou Draven for the bonus Imperial.
Since this composition can be quite contested and it is not always possible to find its champions level 3 or Sejuani, it is possible to swing to other builds. The first is a composition 4 Rangers + Knights, in which it is less important to have them level 3 and with Ashe and carry.
Otherwise, the composition 4 Knights + 4 Imperials is also an interesting alternative option, this time with Draven in carry. As for Ashe, it can work with objects quite similar to Vayne (Guinsoo's Raging Blade et Ouragan de Runaan in particular).
Finally, the last pivot possibility, the 6 Nobles are always possible since you will already have Vayne in carry and potentially Thread level 3. They will be interesting if you find a Kayle early in the game.
