What champions of each class can "1v9" carry?

I'm tired of playing a support or tank and feeling like I have no agency over the results of my games. Obviously I could pick someone like Yi to one trick and tear through teams, but that style doesn't gel with how I play, and I don't want to dodge just because I get put into a role I don't know how to carry with.

So which characters of the classes (not the positions) can solo carry games?

Tanks -Vanguards -Wardens

Fighters -Divers, in which I'll include Nidalee for the spell rotation used in ganks and fights -Juggernauts, in which I'll include Singed Chogath Urgot since they lack the engage or disengage of either tank class

Slayers -Assassins -Skirmishers

Mages -Burst Mages -Battle Mages -Artillery Mages

Marksmen

Controllers -Enchanters, in which I'll include Zilean since all but his Q are ally buffs -Catchers

There's some common trends with the other "unique playstyle" characters as well, but they are also pretty desperate. I'll list the rest of them for a reminder though

"Auto attack magic damage dealers" Kennen Azir Kayle Teemo

"Marksmen but they go in close like divers" Jayce Quinn Gnar Graves

And the last three which have some forms of area control but no other ties to any class Fiddlesticks Heimerdinger Gangplank

Honestly for all of the classes, most of the champs can “1v9” carry. It just depends on how fed you are and how good you play in the early game to get the snowball going. The whole 1v9 thing depends on your skill level and how good your macro is.

If you are looking to solo carry in games, I would recommend watching some pro players, or challenger streamers/youtubers. (Main idea is to get info on how you can improve your personal play). You can also watch some YouTube videos or a few streams of people that main a champ you are interested in.

idk what your elo is but I would still recommend watching the YouTube videos from The Glaccier that describe what each elo is doing wrong and how to carry in those elos for some top lane champs. And btw Garen is a good choice to play in ranked rn cause of how much damage he deals, and also that his kit is simple enough for people to practice macro and the bigger parts of the game without worrying about champion combos and what not.

In terms of increasing support agency, I'll been finding a lot of success with support Shen and support Sion with the Unsealed Spellbook rune. That rune encourages you to take far more action than the average support. I often find myself engaging a lot of fights early in the lane with the knowledge that I will be able to switch to summoner 12 soon and come back to lane instantly with better items. From there you have the option of switching to summoner 14 or summoner 6 for more in-lane kill pressure or switching to summoner 11 and helping the jungler to rush out an early drake. They are both also champions that can win a 1v2 if your carry dies. They are both also capable of finding ways to support the whole team if you are not finding success with your ADC. They have a lot of options of builds that other tank supports don't have. They both have reasonable wave clear and can split-push if the need arises. I've found a lot of success with these two, even when I am paired with a mediocre ADC. Give it a try if you are feeling bored/useless in a tank support role.

Honestly, pretty much any champ can hard carry if you are fed, have skill, and build properly.

Darius, Renekton come to mind first of all.

Idk about the rest but not azir for sure. He's a grain of sand compared to what he used to be.
