I was hoping to get some help in picking ld5s for the swc scroll that are specifically good for RTA. Even more specifically I was hoping for some ideas for turn 2 RTA lds because I enjoy that more than just trying to outspeed your opponent. I know some of the good rta units but I’m not able to perfectly pinpoint if they are good for turn 1 or turn 2 teams. So I’m just looking for like a list of good RTA lds and whether they are good for turn 1 or turn 2 comps. Thanks!
#Swc Scroll LDs for RTA

did you take a look at this https://discord.com/channels/109904961969586176/1049886722831429672
it has some rta recommendations as well
also here you can see rta units sorted by pickrate (and you also see winrate) https://swarena.gg/monsters
Like I said I know the general units that are good in rta and but for example Giana from what I understand is more of a turn 1 unit so that doesn’t fit my playstyle. While it would be cool to get one, I wouldn’t be as excited as like a ragdoll which is more of a turn 2 unit. That’s why im looking to get some advice from veteran RTA players because I don’t want to blindly pick a bunch of turn 1 units
if you only care about rta and only plan to play turn 2, I can give a recommendation
Yes please
tho one disclaimer: bp notes are coming this weekend so ld5s might get buffed/nerfed
dark: ragdoll zenisek giana
light: tian lang akroma seimei/julianne?
tho imo neph and lora are the best 2 ld5s in the game as they're top tier in all content, I'd personally recommend those to everyone but they don't fit what you want exactly
@fallow girder i'd say no matter what you play berghild should be on the light list ngl
unit is broken t1/t2
yea she's an option too, good outside rta too
you play with leo slow stuff? cool, berg does her stuff. you play t1? cool, berg does her stuff.
having one of the highest bases and one of the most broken passives in the game just helps
and about giana, she is not only for t1, if you play t2 a lot of people pick heavy antibruiser units like tesa shizuka etc. and giana counters them
julianne doesn't do too well if you go heavy t2 because he's weak to pushbacks, raki, oblivion but is a good option nonetheless vs some drafts
wait nah we're leaving out kovarci
Ok great ideas, what about a douman. Saw some videos and looks really fun
douman like giana lets you beat ppl who play antibruiser stuff
douman is like the queen of counterpicks
in a bruiser vs bruiser matchup
Hmm ok.
she's a really gross counterpick if they try to play slow
but tbh without ragdoll or akroma going full t2 isn't really viable imo
still would not pick her over neph rag giana etc
if you're committing to full t2 and only care about rta you can also consider eleanor, but she's not better than the ones previously listed
Can u guys tell me about tian lang? He doesn’t seem to exciting to me, idk
there's not much to tell
tbh for a bruiser player I dont find him too important
It seems like he’s only used as a counterpick
it's fine if someone goes heavy atb manip but imo he works better with midrange drafts
he's never bad to own tho in case people slam down giou or verde
True
or berghild 
Akroma is interesting. Is it actually used often? Haven’t seen or heard much about it
you need something to not get overran by t1 stuff
you have to play around her specifically and draft full turn 2. not even bruiser vs bruiser, like, just full turn 2
Makes sense
Ok thanks for the advice guys. Appreciate it
akroma can't get cc'd so she can silence someone so you give your team breathing time to move
and rag lets you move directly
Awesome
the thing about rag is that he punishes nearly every style of draft just by existing lol
