Guidelines: A balanced team composition generally includes:
- 1 Tank
- 1 Offlaner
- 1 Ranged Assassin
- 1 Flex (can be Bruiser, Melee Assassin, Ranged Assassin, or Healer)

In some cases, heroes with multiple roles are included in different tiers, as their effectiveness can change depending on their role.
Heroes marked with a BAN label are considered strong enough to target-ban, though sometimes it might be more strategic to ban other threats.
