So is this a tier list of all S or S+ tier champs in each role, or are you showcasing certain champs in order from strongest to weakest? Either way, I have one point to nitpick: yes, Nasus Q buff is stupid, but he still has the same weaknesses as before. He still can get bullied out of lane by a Tryndamere or Darius, and he still needs farm to be good. The difference is that you now get to that Super Saiyan ultra-mega invincible onslaught sooner.

Mmm kind of neither. Some of these champions are considered S tier but some are definitely not. This list is more to showcase champions that are still strong but don't have a huge skill cap so that people can play/learn new champions with relative ease while also being able to get better in other aspects of the game. I actually initially made this for my friends and a few new people we were playing with, and everyone was really liking it so i made it public.

So unless I'm still misunderstanding, this lists champs for new players that aren't very good at the game yet? That's neat. I feel like there should be more champs like this, but the issue with it is if we get another Jax situation, where he's very easy to play but in the right hands he can absolutely demolish the enemy team. Yes, it's good game design that there's a champ where a new player can pick him up easily, but a good player can make use of his abilities, but Jax takes it a little over the top.

Sivir is VERY easy to play, unlike Draven that requires a finer control during the game. So is Janna. Yorik, on the other hand, was problematic for me. Same for Xin Zhao - he's very straight-forward with the correct runes. I'm a newbie and I had 0 problems with them. So I'm quite surprised by your list and unless I misunderstood the description - I can't agree with you. But everyone is different and I'm an aggressive yet unsure player. SO whatever rolls.

Made many changes, and some are a bit preemptive (see Yorick). Definitely adding Sylas to Jungle upon his release, I'll wait a few weeks to see how his lane match ups go. Crit item changes should be coming in upon 9.2/3 as well so this whole list could change.

I just have to say...
That I disagree with your whole list.
Because every single champion have something to bring to the macrogame and create very unespected combos and synergies. This game is no about killing and microgame, it's about to create an opportunities as a team to reach the oponent nexus and win the game.
I invite you to see this game more like a teammate work game rather than just a single player game.
And please dont take these suggestions as critisim.

Appreciate the feedback & I definitely dont take this as criticism.

I 100% agree and that is why i made this list. Champions I listed are intended to be picks when you want to stay relevant with the least knowledge of macro play. Le Blanc, Zed, & Talon, for example, are all relatively easy champions to play, but I left them out because knowledge of when and how to roam from mid with those champions to extend leads in other lanes and not fall off is required. Communication and relative pings. A champion like anivia can wave clear instantly if shes just farming, and will do dmg to everyone without being great.

I should probably edit the description of the list to be totally accurate to my intentions. I really made this list for my less skilled friends to have a pool of champions to pick that can flourish, even when falling behind.

Well,i can't disagree with you,at least for Tresh and Urgot,i think they are a BIT more dificult than others.
But i got one question in my mind:
_What is the most dificult champ to play?
_And do you think the most easier to play a champ is,he is weaker too?
(Apologies for my English)

Agreed with urgot thresh and many others on the list. These champions aren't necessarily the easiest champions, just the champions i believe can have the most influence with the least amount of practice and game knowledge.

I believe Riven has the highest skill cap in the game, by far. There are more combo's for her than any other champion and you can improve in the tiniest areas that don't even exist for other champions.

I would say Aurelion Sol is the most difficult champ to play as for the easiest one I would have to say Tryndamere.

No, Tryndamere is a lot harder to play than at first glance. Yeah, he doesn't have combos, he only has one damaging spell and you have R for any situation, but he requires a lot of game knowledge. He's like Jax, where he's easy to pick up but hard to master, but unlike Tryndamere, you can probably win a lot of games even with very little knowledge about the champion. With Tryndamere, you need to know a surprising amount of macro gameplay, learn how to manage creep waves, when and where to splitpush, how to team fight, how to draw aggression and use it, etc. Any person can right click, but it takes a good Tryndamere to be able to take his advantages and snowball then into a victory.

Sol is definitely difficult. Having an entirely unique mechanic that can be suspended while the distance of the orb being unable to pop in front of you (JUST got modified) is steep for the average player.
I had Trynd and play a lot of him myself, but he takes macro play. When to split push, how to manipulate creep waves and gain level advantages, who you can 1v1 with ease and when your power spikes are. With a little practice, he is godly, but I believe it takes higher game knowledge. I have a 90% win rate on Trynd :D
