As for killing the opposing backline, Zed is by far the best early game champion. With excellent physical and magic damage, and its buff Ninja, he doesn't need anyone else to carry. If you have him elected, he should give you a winning streak during stages 2 and 3.

Elise

Cost : 1 PO / Origin: Fanatic (Cultist) / Class : Sentinel (Keeper)

Elise offers two very interesting synergies: Fanatics are powerful in the early game, while the shield of Sentinelle along with Jarvan IV ou Kennan is also relevant. If you get a Elise elected Fanatic, it will be able to carry you until the middle of the game.

Cost : 2 PO / Origin: Warlord (Warlord) / Class : Sentinel (Keeper)

B - Good situational champions

Wukong

Cost : 1 PO / Origin: Being divine (Divine) / Class : Initiator (Vanguard)

Wukong is less tanky than Thread, but it does excellent damage and an interesting stun, making it a very good early game unit. If obtained in elected, it is even possible to play a composition by using it as a main carry in 3 stars.

hecarim

Cost : 2 PO / Origin: Sylvester (Elderwood) / Class : Initiator (Vanguard)

hecarim can be very powerful if he is elected ou 3 stars and with defensive objects, but its usefulness remains if not more limited than Wukong ou Thread which are much less expensive. It is also countered by the anti-heal.

Diana

Cost : 1 PO / Origin: Selenite (Moonlight) / Class : Assassin

Among Assassins, Diana is definitely the ugly duckling. It is less powerful than the others, except when used in 4 stars with Selenite, whether primary or secondary carry. She can also carry objects.

Lisandra

Cost : 1 PO / Origin: Selenite (Moonlight) / Class : Mesmer (Dazzler)

Lisandra has good damage with his ultimate, and can be the carry of a comp Selenites. She can ehal be a decent champion to hold power items for Ahri for example.

Nidalee

Cost : 1 PO / Origin: Warlord (Warlord) / Class : Sniper (Sharpshooter)

Nidalee is the ultimate early-game ranged carry. With another Tireur d'izard (or elected), the fact that his attacks and his spell hit two targets allow him to inflict heavy damage. She can also hold items for your late game carries (Lance de Shojin, Guinsoo's Raging Blade...).

maokai

Cost : 1 PO / Origin: Sylvester (Elderwood) / Class : Brawler

maokai is a bit less tanky than Soot Kench, but it deals more damage. It is also very interesting to look for 3 Sylvestres with Nunu and another champion, making him one of the best early game tanks.

Thresh

Cost : 2 PO / Origin: Be dusk (Dusk) / Class : Initiator (Vanguard)

Thresh is more expensive than others Initiators to obtain 2 stars and is a little less tanky, but its range and especially the utility of its area shield make it a very good unit.

C - Champions to avoid except for their traits

Vi

Cost : 2 PO / Origin: Warlord (Warlord) / Class : Brawler

Vi received many buffs and can now be quite powerful with Soot Kench ou maokai. She especially finds her place in the composition master of war, but his armor reduction can also help Ashe in the compositions Hunter.

Thread

Cost : 1 PO / Origin: Warlord (Warlord) / Class : Initiator (Vanguard)

Besides being rather tanky (especially when paired with another Initiator to masters of war) and inflicts correct damage, Thread has the advantage of being able to hold just about any defensive or magic damage item.

Fiora

Cost : 1 PO / Origin: Sage (Enlightened) / Class : Duelist

Fiora is much weaker than Yasuo for Duelist at 1 PO. If her stun is interesting, she is generally too fragile to cast her spell more than once.

sylas

Cost : 2 PO / Origin: Selenite (Moonlight) / Class : Brawler

sylas is rather tanky, but overall still less strong as a brawler which maokai ou Soot Kench for a higher cost.

S - Best in class champions

Jhin

Cost : 4 PO / Origin: Fanatic (Cultist) / Class : Sniper (Sharpshooter)

Jhin is one of the best carries for physical damage, especially since his patch 10.24 buff. His fourth hit is almost guaranteed to one-shot a fragile champion. Besides the composition 6 Snipers, it can also be used as a carry for Fanatics or Twilight Beings.

Riven

Cost : 4 PO / Origin: Be dusk (Dusk) / Class : Sentinel (Keeper)

Riven is one of the best units in the game if you manage to give him 3 items (Bramble Armor, Will of the Titan...) and you have 6 Twilight Beings. She is then almost unkillable thanks to her massive shields, while being able to one-shot most opposing champions with the 3rd activation of her spell.

Kindred

Cost : 3 PO / Origin: Esprit (Spirit) / Class : Hunter

Kindred isn't used very often in primary carry, but she's very powerful in secondary carry thanks to her spell that can quickly one-shot weak champions with magic power items. With a blue buff to cast regularly, and if it passed 3 stars, she can dominate fights while being hard to catch.

Weighs

Cost : 3 PO / Origin: Sylvester (Elderwood) / Class : Mage

With comp buffs 6 Sylvestres, Weighs is now stronger than ever: with the right items (blue buff et Pistolame hextech), it is very powerful in the midgame and can remain relevant if passed 3 stars.

Warwick

Cost : 4 PO / Origin: Being divine (Divine) / Classes : Hunter et Brawler

Warwick received a rework in patch 10.24, allowing him to boost the attack speed of all allies he shares a trait with. He is therefore very interesting as a main carry in the composition. be divine, or as a support champion with hunters.

Ashe

Cost : 4 PO / Origin: Sylvester (Elderwood) / Class : Hunter

Ashe not worth the DPS of Jhin with 6 Snipers, but needs less support to have excellent damage. With only one other Hunter and a good frontline, she can cut through the opponent's frontline, while being rather flexible on the different items she can equip.

A - Good champions

Luxury

Cost : 3 PO / Origin: Being divine (Divine) / Class : Mesmer (Dazzler)

The fate of Luxury is extremely effective if positioned well, being able to stun multiple targets for a short duration. With the Mesmers more popular than ever, there is no doubt that she is one of the best champions of this composition.

Katarina

Cost : 3 PO / Origins: Warlord (Warlord) et Later (Fortune) / Class : Assassin

Katarina is the main carry of the composition master of war, and with a Mercury and Pistolame hextech. She becomes very dangerous once she casts her spell to decimate the opposing backline, especially if she is past 3 stars at the end of the game.

Sejuani

Cost : 4 PO / Origin: Later (Fortune) / Class : Initiator (Vanguard)

Sejuani can give your team a big DPS lead with his area stun that can easily hit 5-6 units late game. She is also very tanky on par with another Initiator or via elected.

Cassiopeia

Cost : 4 PO / Origin: Be dusk (Dusk) / Class : Mystique

Cassiopeia Doesn't deal a whole lot of damage and isn't very tanky either, but her ultimate is very powerful in the late game if she's frontlined and gets to cast before she dies. Moreover, the combo Twilight Dweller / Mystic makes it easy to enter into a composition.

Ahri

Cost : 4 PO / Origin: Esprit (Spirit) / Class : Mage

Capable of inflicting massive area damage with magical power items, Ahri is one of the strongest units in the game under the right conditions. It is therefore highly contested in the current meta.

Shen

Cost : 4 PO / Origin: Ninja / Classes : follower et Mystique

Si Sejuani offers more utility with its spell, Shen is the tankiest champion without needing any other synergy, thanks to his spell's massive shield. It works especially with Gargoyle Lithoplastron, and fits in many compositions with its two classes.

yummi

Cost : 3 PO / Origin: Esprit (Spirit) / Class : Mystique

yummi isn't a particularly flashy unit, but without any items it offers a very interesting mid-game heal. She doesn't really need any support other than another Mystique to be effective, which means that it fits easily into many compositions.

B - Situational Champions

Kennan

Cost : 3 PO / Origin: Ninja / Class : Sentinel (Keeper)

Kennan easily finds its place in all the compositions which play 4 Ninjas to sentinels, and is a great mid-game unit with a few items (Iron Solari Medallion, Guardian angel, morellonomicon...).

Xin Zhao

Cost : 3 PO / Origin: Warlord (Warlord) / Class : Duelist

Since its patch 10.23 revamp, Xin Zhao can now be an excellent carry in comps master of war ou Duelist. With a Thirst for blood, it can get extremely tanky while still regenerating, especially if it's 3 stars.

Morgana

Cost : 4 PO / Origin: Sage (Enlightened) / Class : Mesmer (Dazzler)

Morgana is a good unit with morellonomicon, but it doesn't find its place in a lot of compositions in the current state of the game.

Aatrox

Cost : 4 PO / Origin: Fanatic (Cultist) / Class : Initiator (Vanguard)

In a meta where players tend to put their carry in the corner, the spell ofAatrox can be very effective in getting the most vulnerable champions from the opposing team. However, Aatrox remains much weaker than Sejuani who performs a similar role.

irelia

Cost : 3 PO / Origins: Being divine (Divine) et Sage (Enlightened) / Class : follower

irelia is never really a carry, but its dual origin allows it to be a real Swiss army knife that can fit into a lot of compositions. Her fate is also interesting, especially if she manages to reach the backline to disarm her.

Nunu

Cost : 3 PO / Origin: Sylvester (Elderwood) / Class : Brawler

Nunu is a good tank among the various Brawlers. If it doesn't offer as much utility as Shen, Sejuani ou Aatrox, it is easy to get elected. In this situation, and with defensive items, he can stay alive for a very long time. The pure damage of his spell is also not to be neglected, especially if he is 3 stars.

C - Champions to avoid except in certain comps

Jinx

Cost : 3 PO / Origin: Later (Fortune) / Class : Sniper (Sharpshooter)

Since its redesign, Jinx is no longer a carry but simply a support unit in compositions Tireur d'izard. If you have it in elected have, she can give you easy mid-game gold with Sejuani ou Soot Kench for example.

Heel

Cost : 4 PO / Origin: Sage (Enlightened) / Class : Assassin

Heel has undergone several nerfs in quick succession and is now hardly ever played since he no longer gets resets when he kills with his spell. However, with other Wise men to boost his mana generation, he can still cast his spell regularly and one-shot the opponent's backline with items (Infinity blade, Thirst for blood...).

Kalista

Cost : 3 PO / Origin: Fanatic (Cultist) / Class : Duelists

Kalista is regularly played in the compositions Fanatic ou Duelist, but it remains rather weak individually, even with objects. She is too fragile, and her spell can be countered by shields or heals that push her to activate it too soon.

Evelyn

Cost : 3 PO / Origin: Fanatic (Cultist) / Class : Shade

Evelyn is much lower than Zed in main carry in the composition 4 Shadows. Also, she doesn't specifically synergize with her Shadow class since it doesn't really depend on her attack speed.

Akali

Cost : 3 PO / Origin: Ninja / Class : Assassin

Despite the buff of 4 Ninjas, Akali remain in the shadow of Zed, which is a much better carry than her with pretty similar items. Consequently, the composition Assassin / Ninja is not really played currently.

S - Best in class champions

I ne

Cost : 5 PO / Origin: Exile / Class : follower

With the resurgence in popularity of Followers and Duelists, I ne is now the most contested legendary unit for its traits Exile et follower which generally stick very well in these compositions. It can also become a great late-game secondary carry with a few items (blue buff, Ion Spark to defensive objects).

Azir

Cost : 5 PO / Origin: Warlord (Warlord) / Classes : Sentinel (Keeper) et Emperor

Besides the fate ofAzir which is very interesting to ward off Assassins / Shadows or simply controlling the opposing team, the fact that he invokes two soldiers who can tank damage make him a powerful champion without needing to invest in him. It doesn't need any object to be effective.

Zilean

Cost : 5 PO / Origin: Fanatic (Cultist) / Class : Mystique

The fate of Zilean make him the best Mystique, capable of bringing several allies back to life to continue fighting. Because of this, it's very easy to put into a build, and only needs a mana item (blue buff ou Lance de Shojin) to have a huge impact.

A - Good champions

Sept.

Cost : 5 PO / Origin: Le Patron (The Boss) / Class : Brawler

If you have a team tanky enough to allow Sept. to come back with full HP after doing his abs, he becomes extremely powerful. His ultimate is capable of inflicting massive area damage, while he can also serve as a frontline with Brawlers. Sett is especially interesting if you have magical power items for him.

Kayn

Cost : 5 PO / Origin: Tormented / Class : Shade

After several nerfs, Kayn isn't as popular anymore in the current meta, but is still a worthwhile carry option if you find him fast enough for him to unlock his enhanced form. Currently, the Red shape is preferred in most cases. If you have some magical power items to give him, he can cut the opposing backline.

Ezreal

Cost : 5 PO / Origin: Sylvester (Elderwood) / Class : Mesmer (Dazzler)

In the compositions Mesmer ou Sylvestre, Ezreal can be very interesting. Indeed, if he casts his spell quickly enough, the combination of healing, buff, but also damage and debuff for the opposing team is very powerful. However, he needsun mana item or two to cast as soon as possible.

B - Situational Champions

Read without

Cost : 5 PO / Origin: Being divine (Divine) / Class : Duelist

Read without is certainly not the best legendary champion individually, but he has the potential to win a fight that should have been lost if he manages to take out an opposing carry with his kick. It is therefore quite dependent on positioning, but can reward good players. It is usually only played in comps be divine ou Duelist.

lillia

Cost : 5 PO / Origin: Be dusk (Dusk) / Class : Mage

lillia offers interesting area controls, especially if you have the possibility of waking up opponents with high area damage (like Ahri ou Sept. for example). However, she is more situational than most other legendary champions.
