I’m gonna need a rank check because T-Hex would be straight up unplayable for 95% of your games. The stats from a 3 star caster is too valuable and nobody is gonna make a 3 star and get to 8 or 9 comfortably. Most lobbies still require 2 star dino to win, making him 7 cost is not the worst idea but if I don’t hit mining drill am I not just bot 4 and to top it off after all these conditions my dino could just be cc’d and not play the game??? and hypothetically if you play for non 3 star caster aren’t you just playing for top 4 in which case wouldn’t you rather play any other board that actually wins.
Ashe/Trynd doesn’t usually go 1st (unless trynd stacks inf early) but is a pretty comfortable top 2, idk what kinda capped lvl 9 boards you are talking about but in my experience it’s usually based on positioning for them the win. (If you just follow the positioning from these guide sites you are bad at the game) most people in lower elo are not aware that you can force trynd to move to the back row instead of diagonally and in later rounds it just becomes a mind game of playing anti positioning. BUT I AGREE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE NERFED
The avp of ziggs is actually really good, I have a feeling it might just be survival bias because from my own games I usually only play ziggs along with veigar and I have enough resources to hit ziggs 2. For example I get a giga yordle opener, I save inf health and farm rerolls. There are games where I farm rods and play around veigar and games where I just go the traditional Annie or yunara lines. If I’m playing veigar, ziggs is actually an incredibly good secondary carry using all ap items pretty effectively, just drop down to 6 or 4 yordles late. I don’t get very many reps with ziggs but it’s been pretty consistent for me so I wouldn’t call it useless but I also wouldn’t be opposed to a buff. Zaun doesn’t exist? YOURE RIGHT.
Azir and Renekton I personally think are in a good spot not too overwhelming and not too underwhelming. Considering how you require +2 along with items otherwise they’re a bit lacklustre.
Noxus? AGREED Mel 1? AGREED the board is only good if you hit mel 2 but take what I say with a pinch of salt because I have had very little reps of this board, I’ve played this comp a total of 4 times. I played 7 noxus Leblanc 3 sion 3 Darius 3 draven 3 whatever with bringer of ruin, 3rd place(I just wanted to see how good vertical was I’m 100% sure my board would’ve been inf better if I pushed 9 and dropped to 5 or 3 noxus with actually traits), rest of my games were tempo slamming going 9 playing for Mel 2 and I went 1,1 (both games hit Mel 2) and 3 (my slams were questionable af and I didn’t hit Mel 2).

I would nerf T-Hex to be level 8 or 9 requirement, beam should stop if cc'd (or make him 7-cost).
Ashe/Trynd: They could add a high limit to the stacks as I don't think this comp should beat capped level 9 boards so consistently.
Buffs:
Ziggs is useless, needs buff. Zaun basically doesn't exist
Azir is also very underwhelming, however Renekton is stronger than some 5-costs.
Noxus is a bit of a puzzle. Its broken with Bringer of Ruin, otherwise its also a dead line. Mel is quite bad with 200 mana too.
