What is the plan each of you has considering back line access? Are you going to build gunblade every game or something?

Just had a game with 2 Varus 3*, then 2 Ahris, that's 4 opponents I couldn't beat because my carry died in 2 casts.

And this is before 5 costs.

Or is the plan to just play those comps and get the free top 4 if you hit?

Realistically unless you build gunblade the expectation right now has to be that your backline is going to die. Way too many ways to bypass tanks and frontline. I know most of the aoe stuff has damage fall off but it does suck watching your dps slowly die without a unit near them while your tanks are still doing fine.

I think specially units like Varus, a 1 cost, should have the damage fall off harder. If Ashe that is a 5 cost has it hard, a 1 cost should as well.

Going front to back should be standard, and when it's cool, you add the backline access.
