The following units will maintain their crucial roles, unaffected by the transition into Teamfight Tactics season 6.5.
Jayce
Jayce's balanced offensive and defensive capabilities secure his position as a premier champion, further amplified by the Inventor comp's enhancement with Ekko's integration. Positioning Jayce as a backline physical force becomes a sound strategy against opponents lacking quick backline access.
Besides fitting well within the Inventor comp, Jayce benefits from indirect buffs to the Sentinel class. The addition of the Swift Justice core in season 6.5, which boosts Sentinel execution damage, makes deploying Jayce as a high attack speed backline carry more viable than his traditional frontline role.
Braum
Braum's exceptional durability and crowd control remain his standout features into season 6.5, making him a top Guardian choice across various compositions. With the introduction of Striker and other backline-centric classes in season 6.5, Braum's wide-reaching control becomes even more valuable.
The departure of Shaco and Akali this season pivots the Gangplank comp towards reliance on backline powerhouses like Ahri, Ashe, or even Zyra. This shift underscores the importance of frontline protectors like Braum, tasked with safeguarding these critical, high-damage units.
Jhin
Jhin's dominance has waned in recent versions due to the prevalence of reroll comps. Season 6.5 promises a resurgence as it phases out frustrating reroll strategies (Guardian - Marksman) or nerfs them due to lost key units (Assassin), paving the way for Jhin to reclaim the spotlight.
The Jhin - Guardian comp, known for its stability, is poised to become a meta-defining force in season 6.5. This comp, blending resilient frontliners with potent backline damage dealers, proves that even traditional strategies can dominate, making it the go-to for early season ranking.
