Me Mech
Probably the most infamous comp of the TFT Galaxies set was the Infiltrator Mech-Pilot comp which is also known by the more popular moniker, “Me Mech”. The comp’s main focus is in the form of the ultimate super tank which is the Mecha Garen that spawned at the start of each round with Annie, Rumble and Fizz in the driver's seat. While the enemy team would be focused on the Mech, Shaco would infiltrate the backline and take down every enemy champion one by one.
The biggest deterrent back in the day when the set was live was that since this is a reroll comp, if players were contested it could make it hard or depending on how many players were forcing the comp, impossible for some players to hit all the Mech-Pilot’s as three-stars and also the main carry of the comp, Shaco as a three-star as well.
After all, the reason why the comp is called “Me Mech” is because it was common for players at the beginning of the game to type out “Me Mech, Me no Pivot” in hopes of having other players play a different comp. But with the champion pool sizes set to 50, it's now everyone mech.
Dark Star Jhin
Riot Games
Front-to-back comps are among the most user-friendly comps in the games as the game plan is very simple, build a strong frontline and have a strong backline carry that can ramp up and eventually clear the entire board. What Dark Star Jhin does is accelerate this process.
Dark Star as a trait gives bonus damage to other Dark Star champions every time an ally champion on the board dies. This bodes well in a vertical trait like Dark Star because that means that the low-cost synergy bots will not die in vain. Essentially the goal of the comp is to throw everything at the enemy team to buy enough time for Dark Star Jhin to wreck shop. But what makes this comp scary is that it has a good amount of secondary carries. Shaco, Xerath and even Karma can do some lifting if needed.
Blademaster
Riot Games
Speaking of vertical traits, it turns out that when the entire line of a trait has carry potential, throwing them all into one composition could be a bit scary. It's even scarier when the trait focuses on attack speed and when there is a secondary trait that increases it.
Vertical Blademaster is a comp that aims to end rounds as fast as possible as the trait gives each Blademaster the chance to trigger bonus attacks with each auto attack and with the ramped-up attack speed from the Chrono trait, this can get out of hand very quickly.
As for the carry of choice, that's up for debate, Master Yi is a fantastic three-cost reroll option alongside Yasuo who made up the infamous “Blade Bros” duo but there is also Xayah for the celestial variant or Irelia for a more traditional variant.
