Which champion should I buy? Should I get XXX...

[quote=Yamasoul]Thankyou for the suggestions @utopus and @Inxtellor I shall look into them, I actually play a lot of thresh or used to, don't play him as much now because I lost interest in how people do not follow hooks. But I might look into playing him again, when I get back into the swing of things I might "git gud" again. In regards to having map awareness and Lissandra being strong at those ganks, would you say Gnar/Shen be good choices to look into?? Much appreciated. :3[/quote]

[quote=Ekki][quote=Copy Cat Master]Uhm... Is Kayle good as jungler? I tried Kayle as SP, Top & Mid and she is pretty good but I kinda scare to try her as jungler because she is weak early game until she get the core items. Dx[/quote]Yes. She's indeed weak early but it's the price for the brutal late game she gets with Devourer+Guinsoo's. [quote=Copy Cat Master]Anyway, I like support champion like Kayle and Blitzcrank which can do damage to the enemy & can be tanky. I tried Braum and i like him but Champion like Sona & Soraka is a nightmare to me because if i take damage i pretty much will die & Leona cannot do much damage. What support champion should I buy next?[/quote]Probably [[nautilus]], asides from [[poppy]] who was already suggested. [quote=Sarkhamy]Hello, new here. I've recently found that I love Lulu as a champion. Mid, Top, but mostly support. Are there any other Mid/Top laners like her? I love the utility and un-killableness that she brings to the table! Had a friend recommend Orianna, but let's just say my mechanics are lacking.[/quote]Sounds like [[kayle]]/[[lissandra]], as said above. [quote=Yamasoul]Warning. Wall of text incoming. If you survive, I love you. :) [spoiler=love me]I've been in a real rut lately with lol, mainly because I can't find a champion that I just love to bits and can enjoy playing without getting bored. Perhaps it's because of the types of champion I play. In any case I'd like to see what the community might think would be a champion I'd enjoy playing for a long while.I'm primarily a support main, and didn't branch out before level 30 so I lack experience in other roles. I'm also not that mechanically gifted :/ (but that might be something that comes in time on a champion you're willing to learn). I find jungle and mid very difficult for the following reasons: Jungle: Timing ganks, who to gank, clearing, controlling dragon and baron, basically the core aspects of jungling don't come naturally to me. Mid: being super squishy, playing vs champs that 100-0 you, burst, assassins, burst, and more burst, I struggle to play vs burst champions if it's not apparent.. but I can play squishier supports like Janna and Nami when there's assassins in the game.. in any case I hate assassins because of the negative playstyle of "screw the team" that they encourage. I find top lane interesting because you are this big ass shield for the team that can't be killed, or this dominating presence the enemy team can't deal with and makes adc's or smartass assassins piss their pants because they can't kill me but I can maul their asses. My friends note me for my Braum, Soraka, Janna play and like it when I play top lane because I support them even when I'm not support. ------------------- tldr; I like tanks/bruisers/fighters/supportive champions, I like support and top lane. I'm average-low skill mechanically, but found out certain champions I do alright on despite being tricky to play, sometimes thresh, bard, gnar. So any suggestions on champions that I might really enjoy playing for a while and might want to look into "maining", or suggestions or where I might want to go for learning how to carry from the less carry orientated roles I'm playing. Anything is appreciated. :D love and peace nerds.[/spoiler][/quote]If you're wanting to "branch out" of the support role I suggest you play either ADC or jungle. ADC because it's your duo role, so you should know a bit more about matchups and could get some theoretical experience out of watching your adc every game. It's IMO the easiest role to farm, on average, during laning phase, which is a common pain point for support mains. Jungle because you aren't forced into the 1v1 scenarios from mid/top lane, which are somewhat extraneous to support mains, especially as you have to balance that with farming. In that regard, you're also not needed to farm during the mid/early game, which can be good or bad depending on if you want to practice that. Roles aside, it's often easier to try champions from your role with similar build patterns in other lanes ([[morgana]] mid is a bad example, as her build/level pattern is too different; [[nautilus]] top/jungle is good, as long as you build him tanky). My recommendations are [[nautilus]]/[[poppy]]/[[trundle]] (if you don't play them as supports you can try them there too) for top/jungle; and [[jinx]]/[[miss fortune]]/[[ezreal]] if you want to try adc.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]This isn't so much a "which champion should I buy" post as it is a "which champion should I play" post, but here it goes. Basically, my roster of champions I've played somewhat recently consists of: Top: [[Lulu]] Jungle: [[Lee Sin]], [[Elise]] Mid: [[Annie]], [[Yasuo]] ADC: [[Lucian]], [[Caitlyn]] Support: [[Thresh]], [[Braum]] I'm looking for suggestions for one more (backup) Jungle/Mid/ADC/Support champion and two top laners, preferably high tier champions who aren't banned 90% of the time and offer something my current roster lacks. I'm leaning towards [[Nami]] for support (have had a few really good games on her recently), but other roles I'm not so sure about (apart from [[Nidalee]] not being an option for jungle, doesn't interest me). Thoughts? :)[/quote]

[quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0]Well if you like playing [[Annie]] and [[Yasuo]] why not play [[Talon]] as well, he is also total cancer, Oh, and [[Bard]] for support[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]I'm not really sure where she stands right now but as I've seen Ekki (I think) mention [[lux]] somewhere I played her on a whim yesterday and it was fun. You could use a real backliner in your mid roster I think. I've also been thinking of [[nami]] lately but I don't think she's optimal right now. Seconding [[bard]], he's nuts imo. Jungle [[master yi]] perhaps? It works. I like playing with [[jinx]], I think she's pretty strong, but [[kog'maw]] is way more disgusting in my opinion. Also didn't you play [[vayne]]? You're missing a real late game carry at least ([[caitlyn]] is alright though). Most broken and unbanned champion of all is of course [[blitzcrank]].[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]Okay, my turn. I like mechanically engaging champions like [[lee sin]] for the challenge and focus on improvement, but right now I'm looking for something else. It's a bit hard to put a finger on, but I suppose champions where the core of gameplay revolves around baiting and/or tricking, cheesy plays, stuff like that. I also like it if they can take some sort of a hit. [[leblanc]] is just too squishy for me. Of course [[blitzcrank]] fits that bill, and so does [[thresh]] in a way. I'm taking another chance with [[singed]] and I'm trying out [[fiora]]. I'm looking for some more, however. Suggestions would be most appreciated. EDIT: Levas suggested [[trundle]] and I'll check him out. More suggestions still welcome.[/quote]

[quote=RickyOkay]Hey guys, just started playing LoL a couple weeks ago after being introduced to it by some friends. Have experience with RTS games but not MOBAs, so still a bit lost as far as strategies and terminology goes. My apologies in advance for not being descriptive enough or using the wrong words. Anyway, been really digging [[Ashe]] since I love how high her DPS can be with the right build, and I've noticed I really love characters with range to them since it feels like a safety net for me to have a better chance at escape, or to pick off enemies on low health; since I really enjoyed playing characters like [[Jinx]] and [[Caitlyn]] as well, but it feels too "safe" for me and that I've hit my wall as far as kill potential goes? And I don't feel too viable with having only ADC champions. Also, it appears I'm annoyingly last-kill dependent when it comes to farming and it usually bugs my teammates - but I usually stay in the bottom lane with ADC characters. Is there any champion similar to [[Ashe]] in that they're not a drag for their build and are pretty decent early game and aren't too complex or require precise timing and combos? I've been playing [[Kayle]] recently but I haven't played her enough to know how to feel about her yet. I've been attempting support characters like [[Janna]] and [[Morgana]] but they're just so.. boring and a thankless job usually. Plus it doesn't feel like they have much control over the flow of the game[/quote]

[quote=Re4XN]"a thankless job usually. Plus it doesn't feel like they have much control over the flow of the game" It doesn't feel like that, but good supports carry games, by either peeling their teammates like oranges or by landing critical skills at the right time, which in conjunction with their teammates' skills wipes the enemy team clean (think something like [[Braum]]'s Ultimate and [[Miss Fortune]]'s [[Bullet Time]]). Anyway, what do you mean by "they're not a drag for their build"? If you want simple ADCs, you can try out [[Miss Fortune]], she's easy to grasp and can be devastating in team fights. [[Sivir]] is also not too hard. You can also try [[Jhin]], but he has a rather... unique kit, so it will take some games to learn the baby steps. He does have a tremendous impact on the game, however. If you want to try something other than ADC... you can try out a few mid laners. Most of them are ranged, but are also dependent on their abilities. If you want to try TOP, you have [[Gnar]] and [[Vladimir]] as ranged champions. Vlad is easy to learn too. As far as supports go, I find [[Blitzcrank]] to be very fun to play and has a very direct, "in your face" impact on the game with his [[rocket grab]]. [[Braum]] is another fun support and has a game changing ultimate. These 2 are easy to learn as well. You also have others, with a larger impact, like [[Thresh]], but the skill gap is obvious. Anyway hope I helped, even if only a bit.[/quote]
