New 6300 Champion

CapJackHarknes·4/19/2015, 9:52:54 PM·1 votes·916 views

So I was looking at some 6300 champions and planning to buy some. I have enough for 1 champion so I was deciding between Elise, Rengar and Nautilus. I kinda want a champion that has a high skill ceiling or is really good if I take time to practice him/her. Can any of you amazing people help me make a decision or make any new recommendations?

P.S. I don't have a preference what role the champion is. I'm willing to learn any new role or expand my knowledge do get good with that champion.

I suggest against Elise, she has the 3rd lowest win-rate I believe? She got overnerfed and when the jungle got buffed she got squished. (still salty about that dumbass nerf, 'her clear was too safe so we should gut her damage, that way we don't have to deal with lane Elise either')

Naut is really good right now, not exactly a super high skill ceiling but fun as hell. All of his skills are very satisfying and he has a really strong kit.

Rengar has the highest ceiling of the champs you mentioned, tha jukes. He also doesn't have a very high skill floor so hes not difficult to pick up.

Outside choices include Azir, hes difficult to use properly but DAMN is he strong. Kalista also has high potential.

Well, if you want to actually win, don't buy Elise. Naut is a pretty good tank jungler, and Rengo is also very strong atm depending on the build and early game snowballing. I just suggest not going Elise. Honestly, skill wise, I'd go Rengar, he's decently high on the skill cap.

Nautilus is a stronger pick atm due to tank strength in the current meta. He's typically a Jungler but with his ability to lock down any target he chooses he is being played as a Support the same way Leona is. For that, he's a good option. His skill ceiling I wouldn't say is low, but it's not because his kit is hard, it's that you have to select the best target to lock down instead of hooking and ulting whomever is closest willy-nilly.

Elise is pretty much Jungle only and not a strong pick at the moment. Riot has their eyes on % health mechanics (which is her primary damage source) so she could get beneficial changes at any time to bring her back into the meta. High skill cap due to being a transform champ, but needs a team to back her up (like Orianna ball or someone to chain stun with like Morg).

Rengar can go top or jungle, but like Elise, is not a popular pick atm. I just bought him so can't really say how strong he remains in this patch, but he looks fun. It's obvious that it takes skill to work him effectively, so if you just want a high-skill ceiling champ to master, get him.

TL;DR - Nautilus for being good in this meta, Rengar for higher skill requirement

Elise has the highest skill cap of all three you listed. IMO she may need a little buff but she's not weak at all, if you can combo with her correctly she has high damage. Can be built as an assassin if your team has a tank, or can be built tanky. Eother way she has nice damage and sje's very good at escaping in the jungle if you are invaded. Rengar has the second highest skill cap of them and is a pretty good champion (although beware of jungle invades durin level 1-3, he's weak). He can be built either as assassin or you can sacrifice burst for tankyness and still be a threat to the enemy team. Keep in mind that if you build Rengar as assassin, you must plan your approach carefully as the slightest mistake will cost you because of his squishiness . Nautilus is a tanky jungler with amazing utility and fearsome ganks. Even if you are a little behind with him, you can still help your team by offering utility.
