Hey guys, i'm about to rack up 6300 ip and don't know what champ to get. I've made a list of champs i'm interested in so take a look:

shaco % draven % lucian sona vladimir% zyra nami % ahri karma % thresh % lulu anivia brand zilean xerath yasuo

i main supp/mid and would like to be able to fill all roles (except top :-P) All suggestions and advice are/is welcome so don't be shy. (% = ones i'm leaning toward more then others.) Also, don't say :-)

Thresh would be best. He's one of the best supports, and people can always need another support.

Depends what you want. Considering you don't want to go top I wouldn't recommend Vladimir even though he has the % (but, in my opinion, he's one of the best of your list).

Now, for mid I recommend either Xerath or Lulu. For support, Nami or Thresh. My personal pick would be Xerath.

Edit: considering you main Lux both support and mid I also recommend Zyra since she can excell both lanes the same way Lux can. (And is a really cool champion too.)

Ahri is a severely underestimated mid-laner who is fun to play and can deal insane burst damage if played correctly. She also can play a bigger role in teamfights than most assassins, as her charm is as good an engage to fights as a well-aimed thresh or blitz hook.

Vladimir would probably open up the most roles for you, as he can go mid or top effectively.

I'd recommend trying to pick up a tanky jungler if you do want to fill that role, though, as they seem to be on the way up.

NAMI or Thresh

Xerath

He's great for practicing mid lane. His kit allows you to stay safe while farming (which is great for newer players to get a feel for last hitting), promotes harassing with basic attacks with sustain as a reward, and, when the time comes for a kill, great CC with burst damage to follow up and a long-range snipe to pick up any kills that get away.

Thresh and Nami are really great support picks. I liked playing Karma (haven't played her in a while though), she can do well as support, mid, or top lane if you really want. I wouldn't recommend Draven unless you main ADC, or unless you're willing to spend a lot of time mastering the axe catching mechanic. Honestly just go with whoever you like playing, that way you'll actually play them; I got Draven but I don't like his axe catching mechanic as much as I thought I would (it takes a bit of practice to get used to it), so I hardly play him anymore.

awwwwww. the main reason he was on the list. looks can be deceiving, i guess.

MrBuffingtonJul 23, 20141 votes

haha, I would recommend trying him out before you get him. He's super powerful and can be fun if you main ADC, just not my style champion I guess.

Sona and Shaco The new updates to sona may sound bad but having a lich bane makes all her q procs deal damage then her third becomes insane or u can choose to slow them for 90% or reduce there damage output by 30% Shaco because he can be very fun in the jungle and is easy to counter jungle with. this way u get a good sup and a fun jung.

(ps. the percentages for Sona are the pbe i dont remember how much the current sona in live would be able to do)

If you like supporting and mid lane, try either nami, thresh or zilean. I have thresh and man, the plays youll make.

If you are wanting more roles to fill, I would suggest Shyvana. Even if she isn't on your list. she's a good jungle and if you are ever forced into top lane, she's decent there too. Off your list, I would say shaco. Can be build AP or AD (his ult works well with both which is awesome, either by coping your attack power, or the finishing burst AP damage) He's an awesome jungle. I want to suggest Arhi, but I just find her... lacking right now. I love her, I do.

draven is a great adc and fun to so i would buy him or jinx for adc also lulu is a fun champ for both mid and sup

I play Anivia support and mid and I haven't lost a game yet with her supporting. She's a very fun champion, but try her out when she's free.

Thanks for all the advice guys. im going to build some supp flexability before i learn to jungle. with that being said, im going with Thresh and Nami afterwards. once i feel confident, ill learn to jungle with Shaco . Thanks again.
