Must Have Champs

[quote=Shrillex]I have a good amount of IP and I was just wondering who are the must have champs. This isn't a who should I buy thread but more of these champs are more likely to benefit my team.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Maokai. He tanks like a boss and comes with some nice harassing and CC.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]you should have pretty much everyone whos 450 and 1350 and a lot of 3150s. throw in a 6300 or 3 and you'll be good. and make sure you have 2-3 champions that can fit each role.[/quote]

[quote=MrNicholas]Here are some champions that I find become an incredible asset to any team if you know what you're doing. [[Swain]]. (amazing snare if you can land it, and a crazy slow that most people are too stupid to get out of range of) [[Karma]]. (the only support with a shield and a heal both on a low cooldown) [[Irelia]]. (if farmed properly she can tank, she can carry, or she could do both at the same time) This one is kind of iffy, but [[Cassiopeia]]. (I've been playing her a lot lately, and from my experience she seems to be able to carry the team early game, then turn into a kind of support caster late game. With a Rylai's combined with her [[Petrifying Gaze]] and [[Miasma]] she can pump out TONS of cc if you can land your skills) [[Singed]]. (can take on whole teams by himself if farmed up/fed enough) [[Ashe]]. (only thing making her viable is her utility, but her ultimate can win games) [[Lux]]. (I've probably played about 600+ games with this lady of light, and I can personally say she can carry/support her entire team if played right) I want to say [[Akali]], but she's just shut down so easily if people buy oracles/get resistances. Most of these champions you have to be really good at landing skill shots, and if you can you'll destroy. Anyway those are just some of my recommendations![/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Well I recently told a few people this so Here's DuffTime's list. AP Burst; Gragas Brand AP sustained DPS; Ryze Karthus AD carry; Kog Maw Vayne Caitlyn Support; Taric Alistar Janna Sona (All supports are fine, Sona and Janna are excellent.) Offtanks/Tanky DPS for lane; Cho Olaf Sion Full tanks; Singed Cho Galio Good junglers Amumu Nocturne Udyr Cho Trundle ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is not to say other champions are not very good, these are just the ones who seem to stand out in my eyes. They are all strong at every point in the game if you use their kits correctly, leading to a strong comp which is weak at no point in time.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]By your definition Shrillex...You're looking for any champ save for an AP Shaco......[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]What I think are top picks... [[Lee Sin]] - Your everyday xaolin ninja [[Irelia]] - Your jack of all trades; she can initiate, soak, cc, snowball, carry, burst, dps, everything when used properly. [[Caitlyn]] - Subject to nerfs [[Morgana]] - Still viewed as a pretty ridiculous champion just because she can multi-slow/stun. Other potential choices: [[Graves]] - Subject to nerfs later [[Rammus]] - Recent buffs were very nice, very good against teams are built around an MVP (like Twisted Fate, or non-'double AP' comps) [[Taric]] - Tanky Support is a solid purchase [[Fiddlesticks]] - Top class debuff mage / jungler [[Urgot]] - Hard counters traditional ranged AD - your best back-up niche pick if you're the carry-player and the enemy's got the best normal ranged-carry. [[Karthus]] - The deathsinger is good against everyone - [[Death Defied]] too good[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Ranged AD Carry: [[ashe]], [[caitlyn]], [[vayne]] Melee AD: [[nasus]], [[garen]] Tank: [[amumu]], [[galio]] Support: [[taric]], [[alistar]], [[soraka]] Caster: [[annie]], [[morgana]], [[cho'gath]] Jungler: [[warwick]], [[lee sin]] For teh lulz: Surprise Party Fiddlesticks[/quote]

[quote=ZioSerpe]3 for each roles, possibly the most versatile Ranged AD: [[Caitlyn]](damage), [[ashe]](initiation), [[kog'maw]] (tank eraser) Jungle: [[Udyr]](ganking), [[Warwick]](initiation), [[amumu]] (initiation-tank) Solo Top: [[Singed]] (team disruption and initiation), [[Irelia]] (burst), [[Nasus]] (farmer Pusher) AP carry: [[Morgana]] (utility-initiation), [[Brand]] (damage), [[Malzahar]] (anti tank-pusher) Support: [[Janna]] (utility), [[Alistar]] (initiation), [[Taric]] (stun-tankyness) Obviusly there are other possibilities, but these 15 grant you to always have 1 champ available for any role. My suggestion is to give emphasis to the champs I labeled as initiation, as a team with no initiation (expecially in solo Q) can't pick it's own teamfights.[/quote]
