Introduce
With Set 9.5 Rogues received some very significant buffs! First up Viego and Zed are gone and replaced for Graves and Qiyana, who are very powerful in their current state and worth rolling for. 4 Rogue as a trait has also undergone some changes and now your Rogue units will deal additional magic damage based on their damage dealt. This makes it more difficult for your opponents to itemize against your damage.
This is a lineup that counters most of the current meta cards because the Lawless champions have the ability to dash behind and focus directly on the rear carry when down to 50% health. In addition, at 4 rouge, these units also deal additional burn damage equal to 60% of AP for 2 seconds. With Qiyana giving us both rouge and Ixtal, we can click more Ixtal landmarks to get many special effects for the main force to increase the team's strength.
You can run Ixtal in early mid game, but this does not mean you are required to run Ixtal until the end. Unless you have Ice as your Element, it's often better to remove Milio and Neeko for more powerful units or traits in late game.
Advantage
_Counter is most of the current meta cards thanks to the mechanism of dashing behind to finish off the enemy carry
_Can flex items for carries
_It's a pretty easy card to play and easy to reach the top
Defect
_It's very difficult to play when there are other players playing the same card
_Carry doesn't get 3 stars, it's very difficult to get to the top
_Can be countered with Dark Cloak or Cho'Gath carry
How to play
Early game: There are many ways to deploy this squad. If we reroll both Qiyana and Graves, we will not level up at 2.1, instead we will slow roll at 5 or hyper roll at 4 after the monster round to search. 3-star Graves then continues to eco money to 6 into slow roll Qiyana (this playstyle prioritizes losing streak eco money early in the game); If we don't use Graves or have Lawless Heart, we can play win streak and then go from 6 to 7 slowroll Qiyana Ekko Katarina.
Mid-game: At this time, the formation is almost the strongest compared to the rest of the lobby because of General Vo Phap's discomfort when clearing the enemy carry team's back line. What needs to be done is to eco money from 8 to 9 to pick up additional items for the extra carry as well as tank items for Neeko to prepare for the late game.
Late game: Add versatile 5-cost champions like Aatrox Heimerdinger Ryze, focus on placing carries directly in front of the enemy carry
Legendary
Currently Orn and Ez are meta, giving a large amount of items or you can use Leesin to roll champions to 3 stars early.
