This quickly became the meta near the start of 9.19 and remained in place as one of the strongest and most common builds. There are several variations that mostly just swap which Assassin has the carry items. Akali 2 with double Infinity Edge is the most common but you’d see Rengar 3 or Zed 3 star carry if unable to get the Akali. The strength of this comp is definitely weakened by the Frozen Heart, Infinity Edge and Assassin nerfs.





The attack speed nerf to Wild and Akali likely won’t have that much of an impact but having less critical strike damage and chance from the Assassin nerf certainly will. Unfortunately I don’t know if it’s enough. Double Infinity Edge is still an absurd amount of damage, even with the nerfs. Thankfully though I think there was enough changes overall that the comp won’t be as oppressive to play against. The Infinity Edge carry unit won’t be quite as effective and the Frozen Heart slow on the initial jump won’t have as much impact.





I see this comp still being played but there will probably be more experimentation with other Assassin comps. It could also be a dead comp because of the nerfs to Frozen Heart but we’ll have to see. Still, if you hit Akali 2 with double Infinity Edge you’re going to be in a great position.
