The Blademaster/Pistolero/Hextech comp is an alternative to the classic Gunslinger comps that relied on getting multiple level 3 champions via hyper roll. The latter can be played with a more standard economy, but becomes very powerful in the mid and late game.

Blademaster (6) 
)As shown above, the Deposed king blade is essential to make this composition work, which is based on a Blademaster Lucian en carry. Thanks to his mobility, his ability to be obtained at level 3 quite easily and the flexibility of the objects he can carry, the latter really carries this composition on his shoulders.
The other 5 Master of Blades are mostly there to provide a decent frontline, although they can be interchanged with others (Fiora, Draven). Yasuo is particularly effective in this composition, especially with one or two objects.

This composition is entirely based on your ability to obtain a Deposed king blade. Without it, it will probably be better to pivot to a more classic composition of 4 Gunslingers and 3 Blademasters with Pirates.
The ability to Lucian attacking multiple targets at the same time repeatedly with the Master of Blades bonus makes it very effective. Coupled with the various effects on impact, it will wreak havoc on the opposing team. the Silence is to be preferred against spellcasters (Aurelion Sol in the lead), while the sword breaker works better against Assassins and Prowlers.
In addition, it is also possible to equip him with the red buff to cancel enemy heals, or other items such as 
Cursed Blade, or simply a 
Guinsoo's Raging Blade to increase its pure DPS.
For the other champions, Gangplank can be equipped with on-hit damage that it activates on its barrels (like the 
morellonomicon example), which also applies to Yasuo who uses them perfectly with his ultimate. The latter also works extremely well with HP, which is doubled by his shield.
Finally, in rare cases you will be able to give physical DPS items to Draven or to Jinx, like a 
Ultra-fast cannon, the 
Infinity blade or a 
Ouragan de Runaan.
Start of the game and progress
This composition can start in two ways. First, it can start with a starter Gunslinger / Pirate classic, which will provide good economy in the early game but will be quite weak and will often lead to a losing streak. However, it can be used to obtain a Spatula quickly for the Deposed king blade.
In this situation, objects will often be on Tristana at the start of the game, until it is sold later in favor of Jinx to equip them Lucian.
The other situation will be that of a starter nobles, with Lucian directly equipped with objects. With Thread et Fiora, it will be easy to add Gangplank and Deposed king blade for 3 Master of Blades, and to have knights in the early and mid game before making his full transition.
This option has the advantage of being more competitive at the start of the game, which will make your obtaining the Spatula more difficult but will save you a lot of HP. It is important to remember that you should not try to force this composition unless you have the objects that go with it, the Negatron Mantle being the most useful component (Cursed Blade, sword breaker, Silence...)
Positioning and options at the end of the game
Because Lucian doesn't have a huge reach, it's important to have him in the second line to make sure he hits as many opponents as possible. His mobility usually allows him to get out of area spells anyway. It is essential that Yasuo either on the side, because it significantly increases his chances of hitting several opponents with his tornado.
The choice of different Blade Masters is relatively free, although the selection we have presented is the most optimal. If you manage to get a Draven level 2, it can replace Shen to add DPS, especially if you're up against a lot of Wizards which make his dodge zone ineffective.
Yasuo is not always easy to find, and can therefore be temporarily replaced by Shen et Draven, or even Fiora in the worst case. However, it is very important to the proper functioning of this composition at the end of the game. If you manage to get it level 2, you should be pretty sure to make at least top 2.
Graves will usually be the fourth Gunman kept for its ability to frontline, but it can be replaced by Tristana ou Miss Fortune. Jinx is needed for the bonus hextechas an Camille, and Gangplank is the keystone of this composition.
It is very important to modify the positioning of your composition at the end of the game to adapt to the opposing teams. Lucian usually needs to be on the same side as the opposing comp to hit everyone. Faced with Assassins, it will be interesting to put a not very useful champion (Camille, Shen) in the bottom corners to waste their time.
