League of Legends: Top Broken Builds to Abuse in Preseason 11
By Josh Tyler
With the new items hitting League of Legends in Preseason 11, here are fifteen builds that have been dominating the Rift.
1. Blade of the Ruined King Ashe
This is actually the first build that is not reliant on a Mythic item, but instead a Legendary item. Ashe has been consistently strong in the bot lane for a few patches now, but her win rate is the highest it’s been in five patches (54%) despite having a top-five pick rate.

The key to this build is the Siphon passive, which steals movement speed from a champion after attacking them three times. Combined with Ashe’s passive, it basically means that she is unkiteable with BotRK.
2. Shieldbow Yasuo
In case you ADC mains thought you were safe from the wrath of Yasuo, think again. He currently has the second-highest win rate in the role (55.75%) after previously not being able to hit the 50% win rate mark for the past five patches.
For Yasuo, Immortal Shieldbow has everything he wants in an item: crit chance, attack speed, and lifesteal, but when he drops low he gains a shield and lifesteal, which makes him damn near impossible to kill. Combined with Guinsoo’s Rageblade and Phantom Dancer, Yasuo may have wandered into a tank build without even realizing it.
3. Kraken Kai’Sa
Kai’Sa, despite constantly having a top-five pick rate, hasn’t shown the win rate to justify being such a popular ADC. Then, Patch 10.23 came along, bringing with it the Kraken Slayer, which rocketed Kai’Sa’s win rate to near 52%.
The Kraken Slayer passive, which deals bonus true damage on every third attack, and the mythic passive, which grants 10% bonus attack speed to Legendary items, both have pushed Kai’Sa to become more of an auto-attacking build. With Guinsoo’s Rageblade as her most popular second item, she’s also seen success with Runaan’s Hurricane and Nashor’s Tooth.
