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

[quote=Anandre]Malz and LB have probably the best combos, but from what I hear, Malz gets weaker late game (plus QSS/Cleanse shuts off a lot of his damage). LB can be scary late game, but you need to get fed early.[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden][quote=hotmargarine] Hi - in the past few weeks I've started playing Annie and I LOVE her, especially for her burst/nuke potential. She's my first AP carry (quite pitiful given I'm level 23 - I usually play with warwick or AD carries) and I was thinking about saving up for/buying a more expensive one, as I lovelovelove her. I was thinking along the lines of Kassadin, Brand, Malzahar, MAYBE Leblanc (but she looks scarily squishy!). Someone like that, preferably someone with a good combo/burst, but *too* squishy scares me slightly! Any help/recommendations? Thanks. :) [/quote] Kass and leblanc are both considered mage-counters. U send them as your ap-mid and wreck the shit out of the opposing mid due to their silence. [[Veigar]] falls into that category as well.. mostly later in the game though. Malzahar can one-combo one person(almost always) and can silence so a semi-mage counter, his biggest strength lie in his pushing ability though since a good malz can push minions to other persons tower, be full on mana, never miss a creep AND never walk past the middle of the battlefield. Brand is a combo-based champ, he has a stun, a LOT of damage, a AOE ulty and a aoe farm tool. He's just great! And if enemy tries to gank u in a 2v1 situation they better have flash ready cuz DAT ULT! Kass>Leblanc=Brand>Malz Kassadin is soooo good. And has soo many dashes so he's my top-rated. Leblanc and brand are equal - she falls of too hard late-game to be top-tier but still is a bigass force to be reckoned with. Brand is almost top tier, but seems to have fallen out of favor. Honestly i don't know why he's a force to be reckonedd with early-mid AND late game. Malzahar seems meeh to me, especially cuz his ulty forces him to "selfstun" for a couple of seconds.[/quote]

[quote=Bryun][quote=McLovin12134567] should i: buy gp now, save for irelia, or buy cho and morgana?? [/quote] It depends... But for me, I would buy [[Gangplank]] and save for [[Irelia]]. Then play the shit out of both of them and buy the rest.[/quote]

[quote=Tabooski]Pick any champion that isn't support. I'd suggest either an AD or a Tank. They seem to be immune to getting the nerfbat.[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden][quote=McLovin12134567] should i: buy gp now, save for irelia, or buy cho and morgana?? [/quote] I'd Buy cho, save for irelia and then GP or Morgana. Cho is good both jungle mid and top. This makes him a good, cheap all-round choice. Irelia is IMO one of the best at what she does. Morgana is not really that good anymore, boring as hell but i quess she's worth a buy. Gp last prolly cuz i think his mana costs are too high right now to complete the "Q" spam which is the thing he has going for him right now.[/quote]

[quote=hotmargarine]Thanks so much for all the advice. :) I was talking to a good leblanc player and she was saying, if you know how to play early game her squishy-ness isn't an issue, it just takes practice (the only thing putting me off leblanc). So I've now narrowed it down to saving up for Brand or LeBlanc. Given I play Annie, which playstyle (of the two) would be easier to adjust to do you think? :) (I ruled out Malzahar: I played him on my boyfriend's account and just didn't like him, at all. I ruled out Kassadin, as he seems incredibly difficult and his abilities not all that 'usable'.)[/quote]

[quote=example1013]Go with Kassadin. The problem I think many people have is they play him like other AP carries, which Kassadin is not. If you play him correctly (which is more adopting his style than learning how to use him), he's god-tier with few counters. And he's not hard to learn, if you're willing.[/quote]

[quote=hotmargarine]Sorry I've been nagging this thread so much! :) But I forgot to add, for an AP carry/a caster - I want someone 'difficult'. It's a bit dull with Annie - charge up tibbers stun, TROLLFACE IN, RQWQD, TROLLFACE OUT. So I want someone where I suck at first, and to do well I'm going to have to practise like hell, so it'll be rewarding if/when I get the hang of them. :) I'm *probably* going to get Brand, but I'm not sure! Any AP caster is up in the mix really.[/quote]
