How's it going everyone and welcome back to the 11.10 edition of our sleeper OP champions
and builds.
Our analysts have been hard at work digging up a bunch of new trends that have yet to
catch fire.
By jumping aboard these new champs and builds before they really take off it gives you such
an advantage on your opponents.
When something is super strong but the enemy has never played against it they'll be caught
off guard in so many scenarios leading to you coming out on top.
Seeing we're about a week into the patch now how is everyone liking the jungle changes?
So far the top meta champs have remained pretty stable but with catch up xp reintroduced scaling
junglers are finding a little more success now.
Overall id say im pretty neutral in regards to the changes but let us know down in the
comments what your thoughts are.
While you're down there be sure to smash the subscribe button to stay up to date with all
our future content and with that said, lets jump into it.
The first new build we need to discuss is a really insane one for shen consisting of
a redemption second.
Full credit goes to xPetu for the build as hes a challenger shen one trick over in EU
west who's pioneered the setup and is having so much success with it.
Third item is generally a mikaels blessing while you'll be rushing a frostfire gauntlet
or turbo chemtank based on preference.
Frostfire is so much better for shen after his ultimate buff since shen R now scales
with max health.
Frostfire mythic passive gives you 100 bonus health per legendary item which is so great.
The idea behind the setup is that you'll hit a really quick mid game spike as support items
are so cheap and cost efficient.
Both redemption and mikael's provide 20 percent bonus shield power which provides shen with
a ludicrous shield on his ultimate.
Not only his ult but shens passive as well will become so much stronger.
Lets not forget the redemption and mikael's actives provide such insane teamfight strength
as a multiple man redemption heal can completely shift the momentum of a fight.
So to round it all out a sample full build is frostfire gauntlet into redemption second
and mikaels third.
Take grasp as the keystone with shield bash, second wind and revitalize.
Secondaries are cheap shot and ultimate hunter.
Trundle top lane is really starting to pick up traction over in korea and hes got a new
interesting build as well.
An essence reaver rush into stridebreaker second is the core build as it provides trundle
with such great burst and sticking power.
Spellblade proc from essence reaver is huge value for trundle since his Q is on a very
short cooldown.
The 1v1 power and tower demolition is amazing.
Lots of trundle tops are taking ignite instead of teleport as the secondary summoner spell.
Players will underestimate trundles dueling potential so when you add on ignite the amount
of solo kills you'll come away with every game will be extremely high.
Meta picks like darius and sett are actually really good matchups for trundle which makes
him even more of a sleeper pick for the patch.
Trundle tends to struggle a bit against shen though so its a good idea to use your ban
on him.
The shen W to block autos is very annoying for trundle to deal with.
So for the complete build rush an essence reaver into stridebreaker second and sterak's
third.
For runes take grasp with demolish, second wind and overgrowth.
secondaries are presence of mind and alacrity.

Its no secret how broken morgana jungle has become after her buffs from a few patches
back but a new rune setup going around in high elo is very underrated.
Instead of the standard dark harvest, players in diamond and above are starting to spam
predator.
The success rate doesn't lie either as predator players are winning about 1 percent more than
dark harvest at the time of making this video.
Now this isn't to say dark harvest is completely garbage and you should just ignore it from
now on, there's just a solid new alternative that can work just as well.
Predator allows you to be a lot more active around the map early on and since morgana
jungle has such a fast clear already, the ability for you to constantly be looking for
these predator ganks is really crazy.
The only thing morgana really lacks is that consistent gank power so by running predator
it lets you charge right up to the opponent and see a much higher hit rate on your q.
The setup just turns morgana into an all around broken jungler because her clear is already
great and with predator her ganks are now super insane too.
You'll wana follow up the predator with cheap shot, eyeball collector and relentless hunter
for primary runes.
Pickup transcendence and water walking for secondaries.
Liandry's rush into zhonyas and demonic embrace is the core build.
Kindred has quietly started to make there way back into the meta after multiple buffs
and a new pick oriented build is really being slept on.
The build revolves around galeforce and stormrazor to provide you with super high mobility and
kiting strength.
Galeforce active lets you outplay with ease and chase down targets while the stormrazor
passive helps with kiting around and staying glued to your opponent.
Burst is very nice too so there's alot of things to like about this setup.
Third item will be a rapid firecannon which extends your pick range even further.
The build can work great into rumble and morgana who are two of the most popular junglers right
now.
Both champs are heavily reliant on landing skillshots so with all the mobility and kite
from this build it's so difficult for them to function.
Rune page is conqueror with triumph, alacrity and coup de grace.
Grab domination secondary with sudden impact and ravenous hunter.
Faker is up to his old tricks spamming a new bruiser setup on his viego mid.
Core build is a shieldbow rush into thornmail second.
Faker has also been running exhaust instead of ignite as his secondary summoner to be
even more of a nuisance and extremely difficult to take down.
The strength behind this setup revolves around the consistent dueling capabilities as viego
will win out on any extended fight.
Its nearly impossible for any meta assassin to break through the shieldbow passive along
with exhaust.
Setup works especially well against champs like katarina, zed, yasuo and yone who we
see played at absurd rates in solo queue.
Wits end is another underrated pickup for viego that faker has been running when against
heavy AP compositions.
Keep in mind the item was just buffed a patch ago so its much stronger now.
Instead of the thornmail second, if you're up against an AP mid and jungle then wits
can work perfectly.
A sample full build against heavy AD consists of thornmail second and deaths dance third.
Throw that wits end in there if you need a balance of magic resist for the enemy comp.
Runes are conqueror with triumph, alacrity and coup de grace.
resolve works best for secondary running bone plating and revitalize.
Xerath is finally back in a great state for solo queue as right now he's the strongest
hes been in season 11.
The majority of mid to low elo xerath's are running comet as there keystone whereas diamond
and above xerath's are abusing dark harvest.
Comet offers you more presence in lane however dark harvest scales great and has superb synergy
with xerath's kit.
With all the mobility in the game these days, its fairly easy to avoid comets damage unless
the target is stunned or slowed.
This snipe plays with ult or finishing off a target from long range with Q are way more
reliable when you've got dark harvest.
Later on in the game the dark harvest allows you to 100 to 0 squishies with an ult so much
easier too.
The other 3 runes in domination will be cheap shot, eyeball collector and ultimate hunter.
Ultimate hunter is really key here as it allows you to spam ult off cooldown for so much value.
Secondaries are absolute focus and gathering storm.
Full build is ludens tempest into horizon focus and void staff.
A new build for ezreal that teddy and gumayusi have been playing in solo queue consists of
building a stridebreaker third.
Some extra haste, health and active dash are really solid for ez.
The sub 20 second cooldown dash from stridebreaker becomes even lower since it scales off haste.
Essence reaver, lucidity boots and manamune provide 20 haste each, tack on the other 20
from stridebreaker and you have yourself a 12 second cooldown dash from stridebreaker.
Now imagine playing into an ezreal with a blink combined with a very low cooldown extra
dash and you can see why this build can be extremely powerful.
If you're unaware the passive from stridebreaker provides 30 move speed when dealing damage
so it makes ezreals kiting power even better since he can proc that with Q.
In games where the enemy comp is super dive heavy or have a few assassins then definitely
look to try out stridebreaker.
Rune page is the same old conqueror with presence of mind, bloodline and coup de grace.
grab biscuits and cosmic insight as secondaries.
Kalista has been on the rise over the past two patches now thanks to the wits end and
rageblade buffs.
Second item rageblade fits in great when against assassins or comps that lack a frontline.
Hurricane offers very little for you in 1v1 dueling scenarios so if you're constantly
being dove on in fights and need to be peeling back, rageblade works so much better.
A wits end third when up against lots of AP threats is great now.
We are seeing lots of rumble, morgana and elise in the jungle so if the enemy has at
least one more magic damage dealer then wits can shut them down really hard.
Since hurricane is such a nice item to have on kalista you can still incorporate it in
to your build path and interchange the placement depending on the game.
Picking hurricane up third item is what seems to be the most optimal on kalista throughout
this patch.
So heres a couple sample build paths you can look to try out and experiment with based
on each game.
Hail of blades is the best keystone with taste of blood, eyeball collector and ravenous hunter.
overheal and alacrity work well for secondaries.
A really great pocket pick to pull out in the support role for 11.10 is shen.
Shen's strength as a top laner is super nuts right now but he's also in a very underrated
state as a support.
We wouldn't advise blind picking shen as he's still got quite a few weaker matchups but
as a counter pick he can thrive.
Pick shen into blitz, leona or nautilus and you'll have a really great time.
Shen w shuts down all 3 of those champions since they rely on autoing to proc there crowd
control.
If you jump on leona and activate w, she cant stun you with Q.
Same thing with blitz.
He cant activate his e knock up while inside shen w.
Naut passive is the same thing so you get the point.
Shen e provides you with some really nice hard engage and gank assist as an E flash
combo is very deadly early on.
At level 6 being able to impact the rest of the map with the global can be so influential.
Build wise grab a locket into redemption and mikael's blessing.
You're going for the max shield build here, very similar to the top lane build we covered,
just that you'll swap frostfire for locket.
Runes will be aftershock with shield bash, second wind and overgrowth.
Take cheap shot and ultimate hunter for secondaries.
A support we havent seen much of as of recent thats really underrated with the buffed shurelya's
is annie.
Upon item completion the ability for annie to run the enemy down for a point and click
tibbers engage is way too strong.
There's literally no counterplay to this unless the enemy adc takes cleanse so especially
in the lower elos annie support works amazing now.
The shield from annie e synergizes perfectly with shurelya's too since you'll be giving
allies the passive move speed.
The full build is shurelya's into chemtech putrifier and zhonyas.
You'll run electrocute as the keystone for some nice all in burst and follow it up with
cheap shot, eyeball collector and relentless hunter.
celerity and scorch are the most optimal secondary runes.
If you'd like to learn more about this annie support pick and know exactly how to play
it check out our guide we just uploaded over on our new commentary channel.
