What's the easiest champion to play?

[quote=OTGBionicArm]I think [[Riven]] is a lot harder than that. Positioning and utilizing her passive most efficiently is harder than say... [[Garen]]'s Spin2winDEMACIAAA.[/quote]

[quote=A Chubby Baby]riven takes skill to win with, else you're playing against noobs.. it's that simple.[/quote]

[quote=Icarus Stark][quote=OTGBionicArm] I think [[Riven]] is a lot harder than that. Positioning and utilizing her passive most efficiently is harder than say... [[Garen]]'s Spin2winDEMACIAAA. [/quote] Obviously Garen is an easier champion than Riven, however compared to many others, it takes much less skill to actually do well with her.[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]Riven snowballs well and pubstomps. That's it. For noobs who play Riven and get fed, all they need to do is to go full on in on someone to get kills because she has four blinks, which is why some people think Riven's easier to play. However, it takes a lot of skill to play her effectively in a game.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]You'd be surprised at how many [[Riven]]'s blow her cooldowns to do damage then can't use [[broken Wings]] or [[Valor]] to escape a gank. You have to worry about when to use her moves, because they are multipurpose. I think that makes her skill cap somewhat higher than the average bruiser.[/quote]

[quote=A Chubby Baby]which is also why riven is so fun :D[/quote]

[/quote] I'll just take that as a compliment, considering I have yet to do any of those. Another thing is, she can choose to either commit fully or just dance in half hearted banter - she has more than one gap closer, and if you initiate with a Q, you wouldn't be punished as hard as say, irelia or nasus, again, because you could just E or W then E instantly after. You don't get punished for making mistakes. Another thing is, if she gets a few kills early game, 90% chance that she would snow ball, and snow ball hard. Heck, even if she isn't, she could still make up for it with her amazing creep clearing moves. edit: My opinion that Riven is not a hard champion to play was in defence of the comment that apparently all those that think Riven is an easy champion to play is obviously butt hurt. Just clearing that out.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm][[Riven]] is one of the scariest snowball champs in the game. Don't ever feed [[Riven]]. XD[/quote]

[quote=A Chubby Baby]riven carries all~[/quote]

[quote=Zell][quote=Icarus Stark] [quote=Zell] Bruiser top: [[Garen]] AP mid: [[Sion]] Jungle: [[Warwick]] Support: [[Soraka]] AD range carry: This one is actually the hardest to figure out. With [[Ashe]] you have long range arrows (on the right target!) and being immobile so very prone to positioning. [[Graves]] max range ults and [[Smokescreens]]. I reckon the one with the lowest skill-cap is probably [[Miss Fortune]]? By the way, anyone mentioning [[Riven]] in this thread must be pretty butt-hurt. ^^ [/quote] Actually, I play Riven A LOT and admit that she is, in fact, easy. If a Riven player is even remotely good, there is a high chance they would dominate that top lane. She's one of the strongest - practically good at all levels, with high burst potential and an amazing short cool down ult. She has a shield, decent gap closers, a short (but still amazing) stun and...her kit is just like woah. She's not hard to play when she practically decimates other solo tops without a sweat, compared to champions like Irelia and Nasus. [/quote] I can't believe you even mentioned [[Nasus]]. Yeah [[Nasus]] gets crushed by most competitive top laners but that doesn't make him remotely difficult to play. This is a thread regarding the ease of handling the mechanics of certain champions at a high level, not whom is strongest. For example a champion that has been appearing a lot is [[Garen]] due to the fact that in terms of skill-set use their isn't a whole lot of difference between one at 1600 elo and that at 2k+ (obviously positioning, items etc will differ) but that is a whole other matter. Yeah, she may stomp many match-ups along with [[Darius]] & [[Jax]] but it is the manner of which she does so that differs. As oppose to a [[Jax]] charging passive to 3x then jumping on the target and auto-attacking him to death.[/quote]
