Hello :D

Current most-used champion(s): Twisted fate, Viktor, Kayn and Gnar.

Commonly used champions of teammates (1 champ per person): Renekton, Blitzcrank, and Ezreal.

What roles do you prefer: Mid or Top. Jungle is alright.

If you have jungled how did it go: I think I'm doing well in the jungle, but I love lanning more.

What are some common problems you are having with your champion selections: Twisted fate for exemple is team reliant, kayn and gnar arn't mid lanners (I like mid more). And Viktor, have no problem with him I'm just sick of him so I need another champ that I will like (hopefully)

What are some Champions and abilities that you prefer: Since I just got back to league. I don't know much about new champs since the release of aurelion ( got to know kled, kayn and ornn). I like escape spells like the one gnar and kayn has, The CC that tf has and the huge damage that vikor can put while not getting too much exposed.

Current most-used champion(s): Udyr and Idk havent really stuck with a single champ since pre bloodrazor

Commonly used champions of teammates (1 champ per person): Like all the 6300 ip ones

What roles do you prefer:I prefer Jungle and top or at least i did. I have been trying mid with Victor but I can never seem to match any other mids in this meta at least

If you have jungled how did it go:I used to only jungle as Udyr before they removed Devourer and since then Udyr just doeswnt seem to hold up as a jungler anymore. I used to be pretty decent

What are some common problems you are having with your champion selections: With Udyr(in my eyes) worthless I'm having the problem of finding someone else to hold up as i liked udyrs kit and all but he has one of the most if not the most unique kit in the current game

What are some Champions and abilities that you prefer:I liked Udyrs kit if I havent said that enough I like Gangplanks Q as one of my favorites

Current most-used champion(s):Anivia and Annie

Commonly used champions of teammates (1 champ per person): I see a lot of Garen and Master Yi (people I don't know), and my friend mains Fizz.

What roles do you prefer: Mid and Bot ADC

If you have jungled how did it go: Never jungled, just reached lv 10 recently, but would like to try.

What are some common problems you are having with your champion selections:
I'm currently working on my CS and positioning, I mostly die to bad positions (eg. executed by turrets). Also, I get kinda overwhelmed when CC'd in a teamfight, which eventually results in dying as well. With Anivia I'm playing right now, I'm doing fine clearing waves with her ult, but having a little trouble aiming Q since it's so slow. Also I don't always get to hit with E after Q if I'm too far away. Before I got Anivia I played Annie, it was alright until the enemies started killing Tibbers, and I got squished :P

What are some Champions and abilities that you prefer: I like playing ranged, and enjoy playing bot with a support that heals me. I also played Jinx once and loved her rocket launcher that's awesome at taking down turrets. Also Anivia's wall, though I'm still learning how to use that.

Current most-used champion(s):Shaco.

Commonly used champions of teammates (1 champ per person):I usually see a lot of Ashe, Vayne, and Sona.

What roles do you prefer:Top and mid.

If you have jungled how did it go:I've done Shaco jg a couple times and it wasn't too horrible but my ganks weren't the best early on of course and sadly I wasn't focused on dragon as much as I should have, other than that it was fine, we won a couple games and lost a couple, that was a while ago tho.

What are some common problems you are having with your champion selections:I love Shaco and the way he is but lately with all these changes, he just doesn't feel the same as he used to, so I'd like to find another champion that seems right to me. Also I've mostly been maining Shaco and sometimes playing a couple other champions so I would like to increase my knowledge of other champions out there.

What are some Champions and abilities that you prefer:Shaco and his boxes, Teemo and his poison and mushrooms, Talon's w is pretty fun to use, Yasuo overall is generally fun and very smooth, Fizz & his playful trickster(his E).

Current most-used champion(s):
(According to profile in League Client)
Twisted Fate 20% - Been trying mages out, rather enjoyable.
Jarvan IV 20% - Just bought him to try his playstyle out
Thresh 10% - Been meddling around a bit with support

Commonly used champions of teammates (1 champ per person):
Lulu - they are pretty bad at the game in general and play supp 99% of the time
Tryndamere - he is good at him and other fighter champs in top/jungle

What roles do you prefer:
I have been all over the place really but i usually play mid when playing with my friends as they play jungle and top and i don't like playing bottom as you have to rely on your lane partner and ADCs get focused (i have tried ADC and support out)

If you have jungled how did it go:
i play jungle from time to time and i'm average at it, not bad but not god-tier

What are some common problems you are having with your champion selections:
I just don't know my playstyle and can't find that one champion, sometimes i want to play a ranged character but others i want to play a bruiser, etc. When i buy a champion i say i will stick to it but i just get bored after about 3 games as that champion and start saving up for the next. Right now i am interested in the prospect of a battle mage but i think i will get bored after a few games of Karthus.

What are some Champions and abilities that you prefer:
Not very sure, but i don't like squishy melee champs like talon as when i go in my team either doesn't follow up, i get one shot, or a mix of both, sometimes taking an enemy down with me.

I have been playing league for just over a year and i would appreciate some help in finding a main, i don't really want to play a large roster of champions and want to stick to a few in my main role so i can focus on improving at the game in general instead of hopping from one champion to another.

So I've been playing league since mid season 5 and I main Jungle Xin Zhao 60% of the time (other 40% is when I don't get my lane)

My worst to best role in lane is Mid, ADC, Top, Support, then Jungle.

I tend to lean towards wanting to deal damage in teamfight but be tanky enough to support my team.

If you have any recommendations for me please reply!

If you're looking for a new champion you might like, you should post on the what champion to buy helper.

Alternatively, you can always start a thread on the new player help subforum. You would need to have a clear problem you need help with though.

Current most-used champion(s):
Poppy (<3), Gnar, Evelynn, Tristana

Commonly used champions of teammates (1 champ per person):
i only play with randoms lol

What roles do you prefer:
Top and Bottom
absolutely nothing with "support" in it lol

If you have jungled how did it go:
Pretty well, im not too bad in jungle, but i prefer getting many kills

What are some common problems you are having with your champion selections:
I love poppy, but i need a champ for when someone else uses her, for that happens often :D Evelynn has basically 0 health and not that good damage, Gnars auto transform is annoying and when it comes to tristana- i dont like marksmen very much

What are some Champions and abilities that you prefer:
I like champions with much health and not too bad damage, who have fast moves so they can just jump in and f*ck someone up
stun moves are great
an ult thats not sh*t (im looking at you, evelynn)

would be nice if you answered :D

Current Most-used Champions:
Aurelion Sol, Azir, and Aatrox.

Commonly used champions of teammates (1 per person):
Pantheon and Twitch.


What roles do you prefer:
Mid or Jungle. I enjoy playing tactfully. My friends always have top lane covered and usually bottom lane. Every once in awhile I’ll play support. My worst role is adc because I don’t like relying on someone else and I play conservatively/only push when I know I can get a kill.


If you have jungled how did it go:
I’m not terrible but I can’t carry the team either. I’m good at farming and getting ahead in levels and I’m decent at ganking if they are pushing too far. My problems are that I’m not very good at reading where the other jungler will go and being in the right place at the right time to help/gank for my teammates.


What are some common problems you are having with your champion selections:
My main problem is that I never get many kills and my damage levels are always way lower than everyone else in the game. I usually win my lane and farm well but I won’t get a kill. I like playing more tactfully and ultimately want to become a really good jungler. So a new jungler or mid that I can play tactfully and to get my kills up.


What are some champions and abilities that you prefer
A champion that is not overplayed.
Can be played tactfully and set up plays
Can deal damage and get kills.
To me Azir is the most fun to play because there is so much you can do with having multiple slaves you can dash to. I also greatly enjoy Aatrox and olaf's lifesteal abilities.

Hope you can help, Thanks!

Current most-used champion(s):
Lux, Janna and Fiddlesticks
Commonly used champions of teammates (1 champ per person):

What roles do you prefer:
Mid and Support( I mostly queue up for mid and jungle tho, so I have more chance of being Mid )
If you have jungled how did it go:
Well, I was ok at clearing camps, but I suck at everything else.
What are some common problems you are having with your champion selection:
Basicly that nobody wants to play bot and support, so when I want to queue up for mid+sup or mid+bot I get the second one, so I need to queue up for Mid+Jungle or Mid+Top, but I suck at both Jungle and Top
What are some Champions and abilities that you prefer:
I at least want them to have a form of disengage, and I'm absolutely trash with meelee champions.

so my question is: What champion should I play top or Jungle, so I can play mid often, and not suck when I get the other role.

Sorry if my English is bad, English is not my native language. Also I suck, I'm only lvl 25.
