Forgiving champions (new player)

[quote=SparrowOne]Hi people, So I just started playing a few days ago so there's a lot to learn and a billion champions to get over time. A friend of mine gave me the advice to start with champions like Ashe and Sivir so I did. I kinda like how they feel actually. But as I'm new I have no clue if they're in a good spot atm or they're broken badly. Anyhow, I then got Master Yi to try some melee and I still need to get used to that as I tend to take chances I maybe shouldn't. - but ranged is more my style of play. What I would like some help for is a list or a mention of some of the more forgiving champions for a new player - if such a thing exist. So far I have about 1500 IP so the 6300 champions are not extremely relevant atm. So far I have only played against bots and mainly as top or bot laner. Maybe that's to be taken into account. Hope you can help a new player out.[/quote]

[quote=Roguish Bard][[Ashe]] and [[Sivir]] currently stand on the lower end of viability for ADC's. Instead I'd recommend [[Ezreal]] or [[Tristana]] (She's free with a skin if you like their facebook page or something). As for top you could give [[Garen]] or [[Ryze]] a go, they are pretty cheap and reletively easy to play.[/quote]

[quote=Ekki]If you want tossing stones from afar on champions that are strong at the moment I recommend [[lux]] (3150 IP) and [[ezreal]] (4800 IP). Those two are really strong and very useful to learn some of the stuff you'll need to learn as you start playing the game. Other good "range" picks are [[corki]] (a tad bit hard to play properly), [[miss fortune]] (really fun, strong and 3150 IP) and [[xerath]]/[[vel'koz]] (not particularly strong and quite expensive, but they excel at long range damage). I also recommend you play some tanks or tanky fighters, to try a different play pattern. A great champion for this is [[garen]], but you can also try [[dr. mundo]] and [[malphite]]. All of those are 1350/450 IP and quite strong right now. Lots of people enjoy big range OR big tanks as soon as they pick the game, and they are great starting points to polish the extremes to be better prepared for the middle ground.[/quote]

[quote=SparrowOne]Thanks for your comments. There's some champions there for me to read up on. At first glance (youtube) I must say that Lux and Tristana seem rather exciting.[/quote]

[quote=SoulNibbler]For ADC, Try Miss Fortune. Morgana is also very safe if you like ranged mage.[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend][[cho'gath]] is also a good tanky melee champion to start out with I think. He (it?) is usually played top or mid. There aren't many ranged (solo) top lane champions, and the ones that do exist ([[lissandra]], [[gnar]]) aren't forgiving and not cheap either I'm afraid. Of course you can do whatever you like though, especially when you're new to the game it's fun to experiment. The usual advise is to start playing against people as soon as possible. You'll be matched fairly and you will learn a lot more. Have fun![/quote]

[quote=Penita13]Hi there, I'm surprised this champion didn't get mentioned yet, but [[poppy]] sounds great for you. She's tanky and has a spell which knocks enemies back immensely far, which means she can't be punished really hard. The rest of her kit is quite easy as well, so she should be easy to pick-up. I also want to recommend you to try out mid-lane sometime. It is not very different from top-lane, but gives you a new champion-pool with which you can get even more knowledge of the game. If you're thinking of following this advice, champions such as [[annie]] (450 IP) and [[twisted fate]] (1350 IP) are great starters. I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them. The MobaFire community will help you out anytime :)[/quote]
