I'll try to keep the thing relevant all the way through, I'm relatively bad at it, apologizes if I digress.

To start of, some data to chew. Bit more than you'd get before engaging but that's fine.
Current setup: Cyborg / Grim Reaper Eddie, The Nomad, Wrath, Corrupt Rescuer
Cyborg, as advertised in my signature, is geared for PvE. It is of utmost importance to me that my trooper can safely use him without finding out I sacrificed damages for a better PvP setup (i.e. <><>Shell).
I'm stupid like that as I do realize very few use troopers in their LoL lineup.
Grim Reaper on the other hand isn't fully sharded yet, but his furry, slash are maxed and he has <><>Shell (along with <><> <><> Holy, or whatever the magic boosting set name is).
Other toons are dedicated to defense and maxed in every possible way.
The Nomad runs <><><> Energy and <><><> Strike. Clearly not optimal.
Wrath runs <><> Shell, <><><> Void and a mono <>.
Corrupt Rescuer runs <><><> Energy and <><><> Explosive.
Last bit of info, Wrath is replacing a Pyro Warrior and my hold rate seem to suffer. But I think that's rather due to me fighting at higher rank.

I could ask you for tips on how to improve on this but rather I'd like to have one or two answers to:
What do you use when facing this? Do you even adjust?.
I really wish one could see what the opponent used to crush your defense and some other meta infos like who got to go first. Not asking for a full replay, but a reasonable amount of feedback.
Also if you were among the unlucky ones who lost to it (less of them every week I swear), what decided the match could be helpful.
Once I'm done sharding Grim Reaper I'll probably use what I learned to build something a little different, but that first lineup is a good case study for me.
Thank in advance for any input, even small, you may have on this. Cheers.
