would like advice on picking champs for...

[quote=Nocturne_Saint]I was told that it's good to learn and play more than just one role to become better as a player. I was wondering if ranged champions can go top mid and bottom depending on champ? or do you have to have melee or tanks on certain map positions? I bought annie and ryze both for mid. I would like some advice on ranged champions for top and adc bottom. mid lane gets called way to frequently so i want to learn top and adc aswell. gameplay tips would also be appreciated. was also wondering what lanes "Zyra" can roll with? I kinda had my eye on her for bit as a champ[/quote]

[quote=Meiyjhe][quote=Nocturne_Saint]I was wondering if ranged champions can go top mid and bottom depending on champ? or do you have to have melee or tanks on certain map positions?[/quote] You can pick either ranged or melee for any role. Except for ADC ofc, they should always be ranged :p Here are some good examples of each role: http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/forum/general/4-6-tier-list-ama-27446[/quote]

[quote=Bokonon]It's good to know every role, because that way you can learn what other champions are capable of and how does the gameplay look from their point of view, but i strongly recommend maining a single role with no more than 5 champs and becoming a virtuoso of that role. As for ranged toplaners, they are not top tier picks but still a pretty solid choice - try Ryze top if you already learned him on mid. And regarding Zyra: she's a decent pick for mid or support, but there are other champions who can do a similar thing except better, like Morgana for example.[/quote]

[quote=Jack Rubino]As previously said, you can use both melee and ranged champs in any role, but since adc on bot is sensible to kite and very squishy, usually is better to pick a ranged for the bot lane(if you want to play seriously for ranks and similar shit, cuz if u want just some fun with friends or normals u can pick whatever u want). Also some champs that are made, for example, to go mid, can be played whenever you want if you got enough skilled with that champ, mostly depends on matchups u get and your skills with that champion.[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites]Ranged champs for top: [[Vladimir]], [[Ryze]]. I don't really think there are that many top picks in the meta right now that are ranged, traditionally [[Nidalee]] has been good top Top ADC's right now are [[Caitlyn]], [[Lucian]], and [[Twitch]]. [[Graves]] is also good, and easy to learn. I'd probably learn [[Corki]] too[/quote]

[quote=Double_E][[Jayce]] can also be played as a ranged top to some reasonable success.[/quote]

[quote=Saison Margurite]Hi, There are many ranged champions that are viable top lanes. Some include Jayce, Quinn, Ryze, Vladimir, Kennen, Urgot, and Kayle. There are also champs that are considered ranged who have melee auto attacks such as Yorick, Cho' Gath, Gragas (with recent changes), and Rumble. Ryze is played much more often as a top champ now since he counters most of the current top META champions. His range is also a bit difficult for him to stay in lane as a mid laner against long range mages like Syndra, Lux, Brand, and Orianna. The most viable adcs in the current META are Lucian who has high damage and mobility, Caitlyn with her abusive range and all around excellent kit, Twitch, Sivir, and Jinx. All adcs are viable, even the less popular ones like Quinn, Kog'Maw, and Ashe. As for Zyra, she is an extremely flexible champion who is played much more often as a support due to her utility (knock up, slow, snare). She isn't popular as a mid laner because of her incredibly low base damage but people forget and underestimate the damage allocated to her plants' DOT. Hope this helps :)[/quote]
