We evaluate compositions based on 3 key factors:

• Consistency: How well does this comp perform from game to game and how reliably can you build towards it given a reasonable start?
• Overall Strength: If you do successfully complete the comp, how does it match up against other comps, especially those most prevalent in the meta?
• Flexibility: Can you make tweaks and adjustments to the comp while events unfold differently in game? These events include item luck, roll luck, and enemy units.

The combination of these three factors allows us to define team compositions as S, A, B, or C. The ones that have all three will lean toward S, those that are pretty good but may be lacking in some areas will lean towards B or C.
