Quoted:

I would like a champion which can do "anything" the most versatile champion in the game?
I've played nidalee a lot and loved her, but i feel like i need som change :D
Favourite Carry: Vayne
Favourite ap-carry: Annie
Favourite tank: Ap tanking as cho gath is just for the lulz
Favourite support: Pfft, i don't like supports, too reliant on the team for solo/due-queing
Favourite jungler: Well i enjoy playing shaco due to his great jungling/counterjungling aspects, ^^ but i feel like he's too UP(lately i've been jungling a udyr)


Ummmmm most versatile? Gangplank, I think. I can think of no champion that has seriously good utility and dishes crazy damage. He has good laning, and very good jungling. He's more or less of a support champ, and pushes well and stops pushes with his ult.

However! If you're looking for a champ that will work well on almost any team, that's Ashe. Always good to see on a team.

Most versatile tank: Probably Amumu. He can jungle, he can roam, he can tank, he can lane(with a competent partner with some form of harass). Totally ridiculous ult, and absolutely amazing initiation.

I don't care about my rep, but you can +rep if you want to.

So... I'm Thinking of buying Gangplank or Katarina, but i can't decide.

The question I'm asking is, Who is most viable in competitive play? Who is most OP? xD

I know you can't say one is more OP then the other. I just want to know what areas they are great, decent and bad in :)

Gangplank - He is way more viable in competitive game-play because he is just ridiculously strong. Just as DEWO said he is pretty versatile, as in jungling, laning, and helpful to the team with his backdooring ultimate.

Katarina - She's strong but since her ultimate can be stopped by practically any CC there is she can be shut down very easily in competitive play.

Gangplank should be your choice.

Hi! I'm looking for good champions to ranked play and suggestion, do my main champs are good enough to play rankeds.

AP Carry: Kassadin, Annie (looking for two interested and cheap champs, maybe Ryze?)
AD Carry: Tristana (I can play Ashe too, but looking for other AD Carry that are good in Ranked gaming)
Support: I'm rarely play supports, but was thinking about Janna, Kayle and Soraka.
Tank: Singed, Shen (other good tanks?)
Offtank: Nasus (want to buy Garen and Jarvan IV)
Junglers: Don't know which are good in ranked play.

AP
Annie is actually great for ranked play. Not sure you need to look for additions here.

AD
well, it looks like you like ranged. Ashe is also, top tier in ranked. Easy to put her on a team and she has great utility. Not sure if you need to stray away, but Xin Zhao is a nice choice who can slide into this role (Along with being a jungler/offtank)

Support
Janna would definitely be beneficial, not only is she cheap, but once you learn her, she is a great support on most teams.

Tank
Since you did mention ranked, you forgot to mention your ELO. So we could get a feel of the common bans where you are. Amumu and Rammus are both really strong tanks, but depending on your ELO, they could see frequent bans.

Offtank
Jarvan could fill this role perfectly. I definitely have a feeling you like sustained damage over burst so that would eliminate champions like Irelia, Renekton and Mundo.

Jungler
Well, depending on the enemy team comp, you could go for Nunu, he can also counterjungle VERY effectively. (starting at the enemy mini golems then warding his red buff and killing his big wraith.)
Kinda hard to say, but again, if you were looking into Jarvan. Learn to jungle him. If you are on a budget though, both Nunu and Yi can jungle quite well.

Many thanks to wRAthoFVuLK for my epic sig

Ranged Style -
  • Corki - Not a major burst on him, but just enough to weaken the champion(s) enough to take them down and can use Valkyrie to escape his only source of CC is his Phosphorus Bomb which blinds for a few seconds.
  • Kassadin - This guy is someone that fits your expectations because he does an insane amount of burst and has an obscene escape mechanism called Riftwalk, and can also silence with Null Sphere. (He is pretty hard to grasp due to his charges to use a certain ability.)
  • Tristana - She has been kind of undervalued for awhile and has recently been played a lot in high ELO ranked, she has an amazing damage output and can escape by using her Rocket Jump, but has no reall CC.
  • Vladimir - A fun champion to play, he can outlast many people in lane because he needs no mana and his abilities basically heal him. He has no particular CC besides a slow and can escape with his Sanguine Pool
  • Vayne - Love Vayne she is still strong even after her many nerfs and is a very useful carry late game and her sustainability in her early game is good. She can escape using her Tumble combined with her ultimate which makes her stealthed when using Tumble, and can CC by using Condemn which knocks them back, or if you knock them into a wall even stun them.

Which ever one you choose I think you'll have fun regardless. I'm pretty sure these are all used in high ELO so buying any of them won't be a mistake. :)

Don't forget to +Rep if I helped :3
