Hello all,

Recently joined the league--this is actually my first post--and I'm looking for input.

(tl;dr: Playing Ryze and looking for other roles to fill, ideas?)

I've played with Ashe, but I'm not quite good enough to make the farm work out to support the heavy cost of carrying. I've got Caitlyn thanks to my PC Gamer subscription--that's actually why I started playing--but I didn't like how she played, probably for the same reason I suck at Ashe. I dabbled with Malphite, Nunu & Willump, and Nocturne while thinking about jungling, but I could never quite keep up level wise with my team and ended up being a liability.

Currently I'm playing Ryze with a focus on harass/spell combo nuking, but I'm looking for a couple other champs to play with so I can get more acquainted with the game and be able to fill out a couple more roles. Got any suggestions for characters?

Edit: Response from the quiz here suggested Katarina. She seems fun, but a bit difficult.

Caitlyn is so fun once you get the hang of her.
Her range is amazing and her early game is impeccable (Level 1 Traps<3).
Practice her and she will be a blast.

It's very likely that since I was playing her for my first few matches that I was getting a double whammy of 'Dang this is tough.' Maybe I'll poke about with her this evening.^^

Kayle or Master Yi are good and easy-to-play champions. You don't need much exp to handle those guys :)

Kayle is pretty meh, I don't know which lvl you are but I strongly suggest against jungling without lvl and runes. If you want a champion like ryze get someone like Brand or Annie they are both champions that focus on nuking down people in the blink of an eye.

Yeah, played a few games with her last night, and once she's got the speed up her E is devastating. until then though...

I'll check out Brand the next time he's free, 6300IP is way out of my league at this point ><

If you don't mind trying other roles like a full tank or off-tank/tanky DPS, then try some of those. Not sure what to recommend to you though since I always believe everyone have different liking so just scan around for a list of the tank and off-tank champion and picks one that spark up your interests or you can try those that are free. Some good and cheap ones are Cho'Gath, Amumu, Singed but I might be biased so try out anything you like.

Edit: Saw that you are saving for Sona or Mordekaiser, both are good choice nonetheless but I personally would suggest Mord first since you are quite new since he is easier and very devastating throughout the game. You can learn support like Sona later when you have developed a good grasp on the game's mechanics.

Morganna, but yeah, Kaiser seems interesting to play. Trying my hand at Alistar right now, if Kaiser plays somewhat like him, I'll enjoy it.
