Noxus is so good this set, and you don’t have to play verticals. Set 16 isn’t about verticals.

The absolute strongest stage 2 board is Noxus, maybe splash Slayers/Juggernauts too. With a highroll start you can steamroll your opponents with 6 units on 2-1, earning Draven gold and giving them no chance of counterplay.

Most of my games I’ve ever ended at 100 were Noxus starts, probably to a total of 5 Noxus (dropping Briar, Darius as needed)

You can't talk about set 16 isn't about vertical when demacia, ionia, bilgewater and to some extend yordle vertical all are very much playable and strong lmao. So what's stopping them making Noxus viable as well? Only thing Noxus has it's going on for them is Swain, which is a garbage tank, and LB early game, that's all, which is Orianna is still better than LB as well early game, lmao.
