TFT Patch 11.16 Meta Comps (Set 5.5, August 2021)

The Set 5.5 Dawn of Heroes update has entered its 3rd week. With the new update the meta changed, and many players tried to get to know and develop the new comps. After this long stretch, the meta has taken shape and reached its final form. With the balance changes of the TFT 11.16 update, the TFT 11.16 meta has become clear. Many comps that emerged with the new patch have started to dominate the lobby and the game. Here are the TFT 11.16 meta comps

TFT 11.16 Meta Comps

8 Scamp - Yordle Comp

Scamps are at the top of the meta with many carry options. Tristana's return to the game as a 2-cost champion increases both the chance of finding her in the early game and the chance of reaching 3 stars.

• Champions: Kennen, Kled, Rell, Poppy, Ziggs, Teemo, Tristana, Lulu
• Items: Morellonomicon, Gargoyle Stoneplate, Bloodthirster, Deathblade, Radiant Runaan's Hurricane, Scamp Emblem

How Do You Play It?

The Scamp comp is a lineup built around the Tristana carry. To get the early-game Scamp units to 3 stars, rolling is more important than leveling up. To complete 8 Scamp in the late game, you will need one Spatula.

When Should You Play It?

If you hit a lot of Scamp units in the early game and get the right items for Tristana, the 8 Scamp Comp will be a good choice.

6 Assassin Comp

Nocturne got a small change to his ability set with the new patch. Still, he is quite strong despite everything.

• Champions: Volibear, Fiddlesticks, Ivern, Diana, Pyke, Kha'Zix, Viego, Nocturne
• Items: Assassin Emblem, Jeweled Gauntlet, Last Whisper, Infinity Edge, Radiant Runaan's Hurricane

How Do You Play It?

This comp treats Nocturne as the main carry and revolves around him. It uses the 6 Assassin trait to jump behind enemy units. The comp starts to rise in the mid game and reaches its strongest form toward the end of the game with a 3-star Nocturne. With or without an Assassin Emblem, Fiddlesticks is the team's 2nd carry.

When Should You Play It?

If you can get a good Nocturne item and Assassin champions early in the game, this comp will be a good choice.

Lucian Carry Comp

Since the first release of the Set 5.5 update, Lucian has continued to be a very strong character. Even independent of the Sentinels of Light, he is a good carry with enough power to win the game.

• Champions: Volibear, Galio, Fiddlesticks, Gwen, Ivern, Lux, Lucian, Senna
• Items: Bramble Vest, Hextech Gunblade, Quicksilver, Last Whisper, Bloodthirster, Titan's Resolve

How Do You Play It?

This comp uses Lucian as the main carry. However, instead of filling the team with Sentinels of Light, it makes the team stronger with smaller and more functional synergies. The foundations of the team are laid with the Sentinels of Light found in the early game. As the game goes on, 4-cost and 5-cost champions are found and swapped in for Sentinels of Light units.

When Should You Play It?

If you can get Sentinels of Light units early in the game and build the items Lucian needs, this comp will be a very strong choice.

6 Redeemed Comp

The Redeemed comp was not very popular at the start of Set 5.5. However, with the changing meta, players realized how Redeemed should be played, and it took its place in the meta.

• Champions: Volibear, Leona, Rell, Fiddlesticks, Ivern, Syndra, Vel'Koz, Lux
• Items: Morellonomicon, Redeemed Emblem, Radiant Spear of Shojin, Chalice of Power, Hextech Gunblade, Jeweled Gauntlet

How Do You Play It?

You need to unlock the 6 Redeemed synergy to empower all allied units on the team. When Redeemed units die, the remaining allies get stronger and gain bonus traits. These bonuses are enough to win the game. Also, with Lux, the mid game and items can be carried easily. Vel'Koz is the team's main carry.

When Should You Play It?

If you have made a good start with Redeemed units, you have laid the foundations of the comp. Once you find the necessary ability items, there is nothing standing in your way on the road to victory.
