Alliance War needs annoying champs to increase the chance to get more kills, but do remember that you should not place one particular champ on many nodes, else your opponent may win because of the increased diversity point. So take care of diversity if you really care about winning.
Note About Defender Tactics: Defender Tactics have a very important role in winning if you are Tier 1 to Tier 5 ally. Learn about them and the champions that can benefit from Defender Tactics.
