Comp tier list

The most played line of the patch: Draven and Elder Dragon at level 9, with Maokai, Amumu, Sentinel and Taric in front and Kennen and Ivern between. Elder Dragon takes two team slots and counts as two Riftbeasts, so he and Sentinel turn on Riftbeast 3. It places better at high ranks than below them.

Overview

Your cue is a stage 3 with high health and gold: the line only comes together at level 9, so Amumu and Sentinel at two stars have to hold you at 8. As the most played line in 18.3b it is often contested; if two others go for Draven and the Dragon, Ashe Fast 9 needs neither. Hold at 8 instead of rolling there, since the 5-costs show up mostly at 9.
