Don't know META, Who to buy?

[quote=FaTaLiTyFiReFly]Hello! I am quite new to LoL , in the sense that I don't understand the META. I don't know who is strong and who isn't So basically I have enough RP to buy 3 champs. But I don't know who to buy :/ [b]Favourite Champions:[/b] Heimerdinger(Mid) , Thresh(Support) , Blitz(Support) , Bruam(Support) , Lulu(Support) So thus far I main support, but I wanna be able to play the other roles aswell when my team needs me to. Here is a list of OTHER champions I like/dislike that I own [spoiler] [color=#008000]Like:[/color] -TF -Irelia -Kassa -Mundo [color=#ff0000]Dislike:[/color] -Rengar -Kha Zix -Singed [/spoiler] So I wanted to buy: Nidalee/Nautilis/Rumble/Fizz/Diana/Lissandra/Casseopia/Quinn Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated![/quote]

[quote=Vorcia]Nidalee is an amazing top laner. Nautilus is a great jungler but imo I think Amumu and Maokai (even if he is mostly played top now) are better late game tank junglers. Rumble is really good but also really hard to play. Fizz is a pretty good champ if you want an AP assassin. Diana isn't played much, but I assume its because she's rather bad right now, so I can't really comment on that. Lissandra is OK I guess, but for control/zoning mages, Syndra and Orianna are definitely better. Cassiopeia is really hard to play, can't snowball really well and loses to a lot of lanes, I'd rather pick up Syndra or Orianna. Quinn is an OK top laner if you want to play a carry top laner, Lulu is still better though, but for ADC, almost anything is better. You also like assassin mid laners, but they're mostly AP, if you want to try out some AD assassins mid, I'd recommend Yasuo, Zed, and Talon. Also, I'd recommend not buying champs with RP since you could buy them with IP. It's better to just buy skins with RP IMO, but its your choice.[/quote]

[quote=KatariFIRE]Many people has a good idea about which champ to buy. So, I will tell you about META instead. Ok, first lets make it clear about [["Role"]] in LOL. It's really depend on [["What can that champion do"]]. Some champion can do more than 1 Role, that's why you should not strict on it much. __________________________________________________________ Some champions able to deal a lot of damage by their auto attack in late game and their power really depend on "Item" we call this type [[AD Carry]]. Example : [[Vayne]], [[Draven]], [[Jinx]], [[Caitlyn]]. _________________________________________________________ [[Support]] is champions that provide gameplay advantage for AD Carry in lane make them play easier get more gold and help them kill people (easy isn't it?). Example : [[Braum]], [[Leona]], [[Sona]], [[Taric]] and [[Kayle]]?. __________________________________________________________ [[Mage]] is champion that their skill has a large scale on [[Ability Power]] point, maybe 70-100% in some, they are capable of nuke on enemy team dealing huge damage in a short period of time. Example : [[Veigar]], [[Katarina]], [[Brand]]. __________________________________________________________ Some champion has ability to use [[AP]] to emplify their auto attack, some of them benefit from build both AP and AD, we call these champions a [[Hybrid]] although many of them in real game people will choose only 1 specific item set for them it's very complicate to say anything that which one should go all in and which one should be real [[Hybrid]]. Example : [[Jax]], [[Kayle]], [[Akali]]. __________________________________________________________ [[Jungler]] is someone who will spent their time in a jungle more than in lane, they have ability to clear monsters camp fast, stay healthy and most of them has a good ability to gank in lane, Jungler will always take [[Smite]] as one of their summoner spell to help them secure a buff monster like Lizard or Golem and objective like Dragon or Baron. Example : [[Lee sin]], [[Kha'zix]], [[Amumu]], [[Rengar]], [[Maokai]]. __________________________________________________________ So, about a [[Fighter]] champions, they can be divide in many sub-role. The one who can deal a good damage while has a good sustain is [[Bruiser]]. The one that has a good CC like area STUN or hard Slow or push back or whatever that can be use to open a team-fight and bring advantage to your team called [[Initiator]]. The one that die as hard as brat, called [[Tank]]. Example : [[Renekton]], [[Nasus]], [[Malphite]], [[Shyvana]], [[Rammus]]. __________________________________________________________ And don't forget the [[Assassins]] they are a champions that capable of dealing tons of damage to 1 pacific target and of course that target mostly be AD or AP carry, all of them has good in-and-out ability (Someone only has jump-in ability). Example : [[Zed]], [[Talon]], [[Kha'zix]], [[Akali]], [[Fizz]]. It's really hard to tell how many role they have in LOL because it's depend on how people will say, and the truth is META, ROLE is not an unbreakable rule, you can play whatever you want to play, but META serve as "Which duty this champion can do it good".[/quote]

[quote=turingexp]ideally you want at least one champ for each role. it looks like you already have supp and mid, so i'd buy an adc, jungle, and top champ. i prefer caitlyn adc (very easy imo and very powerful late game). for jungle, master yi is really easy to play and has great sustain with meditation. for top, i think shyv is pretty cheap and a great tank. try and get good in each role.[/quote]

IIRC that was the site that listed Fiora and WW as the gods of top lane.[/quote]
