Which champions are meant for which lanes

[quote=lifebaka][quote=Papayalord] Well, first off AD jungles. Any on who can solo goes top(usually somone tanky),and any champion+a support goes bot. Usually, a ranged carry goes mid. [/quote] This is an old meta. The current meta could easily blow up a lot of these lanes, plus the jungler, and snowball into a victory. I don't suggest using it. Currently, top lane consists of any champion that can really shine mid to late game. Mostly, that means AD bruisers, but also some assassins (they jump in and do a lot of damage all at once), AP fighters (mages who can take a beating), and the occasional carry. Common picks include [[Gangplank]], [[Wukong]], [[Irelia]], [[Udyr]], [[Shen]], and [[Lee Sin]]. Their job is mostly to stay in lane and farm until teamfights start, and from there their jobs vary depending on champion, but are rarely expected to do massive damage. Mid lane is either an AP carry (a caster/mage) or someone who performs extremely well against AP carries (such as [[Talon]] or [[Kassadin]]). AP carries scale well with champion level, so you want them in a solo lane for the experience and farm. They're supposed to help the jungler establish dragon control in the early and mid game, do lots of damage in the mid game, and help burst down high priority targets at the start of teamfights in the late game. Bottom lane is usually composed of an AD carry (someone ranged who does a lot of damage with their attacks) and a support. The carry's job is simple: get as much money as possible so you do as much damage as possible, then kill everyone. Remember, the order here is important. The support's job is to help make sure the carry does their job, along with some other functions such as warding bottom lane and some other parts of the map and helping harass the enemies out of lane so that their carry won't do as much damage. Bottom lane also helps establish dragon control with mid and the jungler in the early game, and after the carry builds one or two major items you'll want to take out the first enemy tower and make sure to start helping other lanes if they're having trouble. The jungler is usually another AD bruiser. Junglers come in two veins: those with really fast clear times, and those with really good ganks. (There are other kinds of junglers, but they're not believed to be as strong right now, and as such not really played.) Junglers with fast clear times tend to have area of effect damage abilities and ways to move faster ([[Shyvana]] and [[Udyr]] being the best examples of both). These junglers are expected to clear their jungle very quickly and take parts of their enemy's jungle, denying the enemy jungler experience, gold, and hopefully even buffs, pressuring the lanes by removing their jungle support. Junglers with really good ganks tend to have strong gap closing abilities and strong CC ([[Rammus]] being a great example). These junglers are expected to gank early and often, putting pressure on the lanes by being in them a lot. Pitting the old meta against the new, top lane would be fairly evenly matched, as I don't believe it has changed much. Mid lane would tend to get demolished, because AP carries are strong in the early game, while AD carries are weak in the early game in exchange for their late game dominance. Bottom lane would also lose, though not necessarily as obviously: the tank and support of the old meta just don't have enough damage to harass an AD carry and support out of lane effectively, especially not with the early-game focus of an AD carry's runes, so the AD carry would get fed and win the game late. The junglers would also be a decent match, but a jungler isn't able to do much when two of his lanes are already set up to lose. If the OP would like, I could draw up a complete list of all champions and their common roles (and perhaps uncommon as well?). I should also note that the above is not necessarily an endorsement of the current meta, but only a note that it probably replaced the old one for a reason.[/quote]

[quote=Fox Rage]*Still hoping the metagame would change so LoL could become a bit less predictable* Oh, and EVERYONE has to ward. Better start teaching new players that, to replace those who think that warding is a task only the support can do. P.S. WARDS ARE NOT EXPENSIVE. So buy some for Christ's sake.[/quote]

[quote=tehAsian]^This. 2gud, +rep. Oh, I jungled Eve today, wasn't half bad. Team kinda sucked, and other team got 5 oracles, but it wasn't all that bad. Slightly subpar though.[/quote]

It works best if you have a hard CC mid lane so you can snowball from there. Lane comp like this probably: Taric+AD carry bot/Brand/other good CC mid/JarmanderIV toplane/Eve jungle[/quote]

[quote=The Overmyynd]Lawl indeed, Rep given Lifebaka. Outstanding list, and pretty damn accurate too. You just made McGillacutty's day rofl.[/quote]

[quote=lifebaka]Honestly, that was just off the top of my head, so I know I missed some things. I also didn't list some of the weird let's-try-this-and-see-if-it-works places that people some champions, for simplicity. If there's anything that is important and I missed, let me know so I can fix it.[/quote]
