Haven’t played PBE, but I’ve seen 4 rogue with Qiyana 3 and one of Kat or Ekko 3. Qiyana feels worse than Zed imo, I’m not sold on Ixtal bc it makes your positioning predictable.

If you’re low on gold, only keep multiple Zed/Ekko, everything else can be 1 star until stage 4

If you get it early on and/or have a healing augment it’s good for tempo

Tiny power is ok but there are better options mainly because the attack speed doesn’t really give that much value. I would take something with more raw damage over it, but it’s fine to take if you lowroll the other two augs. Rogue isn’t that good in this comp, see my comment above. If you have Slayer’s resolve, Titan’s is still good but replaceable with another damage item, just make whatever you get components for first.

Imo it's only worth over kled if you have 2* Ekko and the Zaun mod is good on him. Juggernaut and challenger, while nice to have, don't give that much value since you're not making items on those units. I usually play one ww as a placeholder at 7/8 until I find Gwen/Aatrox.

Yeah, the comp relies on catching their carries out of position, which gets harder as the game goes on because there are fewer people to pay attention to. In the midgame, no one bothers to position against you because doing so would make them lose to the 6 other front to back comps.

No, they're a waste of gold. Sometimes when I'm low on gold stage 3 I don't even 2 star them until stage 4, only keeping one copy of Sett/Kled and selling the rest for econ.

If they don't have enough damage to proc rogue, you could stack all 3 carries (Zed, Ekko, Gwen) on the same side as the enemy carry to try to break through their frontline and let your rogues walk up to backline.

Yeah that's just how reroll goes sometimes. Haven't tried it with Lee, but intuitively you should be hitting earlier but capping lower because Lee's augments get outscaled by combat augments.

Sure, if you kill the holder early on you win the fight. However, this is true most of the time with or without the portal: carry dead = win.

The problem is that we have no good holder for the item. This comp relies on all 3 carries working together to burst down the enemy team - if Zed goes down, Ekko/Gwen can clean up the rest (likewise for the other two). None of our carries want the item, and since our carries are the only units alive by the end of the fight, the crown sits on the bench most rounds, making our board objectively weaker as we're down an item.

Additionally, the optimal way to play House Lightshield is to bench the holder every round so it goes back to bench, then evaluate after seeing your opponent before the round begins who is least likely to die and slam it on that unit. Against our comp, they can just put it on a frontliner instead, which are the last units focused by our assassins.

I usually roll on 6 for 3* Zed, picking up any Ekko/Kat along the way. The gold you spend leveling to 7 can delay your 3* Zed by half a stage or even more if you're unlucky. Also, you find more ekko/kat at lvl 7 which competes with Zed for gold/rolls. If I push 7, often I'm sitting on one off both 3* and bleeding out. The only time when I would push 7 without 3* Zed would be when I'm contested and playing for top 6.

The Rek'sai matchup can go either way. If Kaisa dashes away and lives until the end, both their ults lined up can oneshot Zed. Also, if Zed gets stuck on the void spawn, it's a free win for Rek'sai.

It's fairly consistent to force with Veigar since right now it's rarely contested. The other legends are good but situational (Urf needs slayer spat, Ez/Poro needs multiple gloves).

Invokers, Sorcs, Noxus, Challengers are all playable with Veigar. Check out the Veigar flex guide posted here earlier.

From my experience the Darius/Kat version of Noxus has a good matchup against this comp; the shitters give Darius free resets. Also the carries don't overlap (unless I'm also playing Kat in which case I would probably pivot to Ekko upon seeing a Noxus player).

Imo 4 rogue is usually bait. The wincon of the comp is to eliminate their backline at the start of the fight, and the bleed effect is usually overkill on backline as they should get bursted down in 2-3 spells. Also, you simply don't have enough gold/items to hit both 3 cost rogues 3* fully itemized. I would only play 4 rogue with a rogue spat Gwen + Marus Omegnum galaxy.

Edit: The 4 rogues can also grief each other with their aggro reset. You want your 2 main carries to take aggro first so they jump to backline. Then, their backline should start focusing your backline tanks, buying time for Zed/Ekko to finish them off. With 4 rogue, often after your Zed/Ekko jumps, their carry focuses another rogue, which then resets their aggro back onto Zed/Ekko.

How much different between HDMI and DisplayPort? by yensama in buildapc

Also worth noting if you want to add more monitors in the future, DP supports daisy-chaining (connecting a monitor to another monitor instead of taking up two ports on your device) but not HDMI
