Gear Review

Deflection is an amazing set since its rework in early 2026. The set provides great stats for support champions and is a counter to Mercurial Sets and Total Guard at 6-pieces. It has multiple uses and is a great addition when paired with other defensive variable sets. It’s hard to get a 9-piece set, as accessories are obtained exclusively through Platinum Arena rewards.
