Who are some good champs to learn to play as for ranked games?

ElMcChicken01··2 votes·3,680 views

Most of the games I play in ranked, I end up losing, mainly because I fall behind in lane and then get destroyed late game. Normally, I play Chogath, Veigar, Velkoz, Teemo, MasterYi, Nasus, and Gangplank. I used to play as Ekko in ranked, but I've been doing so bad with him that I need to play more normal games to get better as him. I also normally play Mid, Top, or Jungle. If I could get some better champs for ranked and some builds for them, I would appreciate it.

Your question is wrong.

What lane should I play in ranked? Top (based on your champions). Who is the one champion I should learn for ranked? ONE CHAMPION ONLY. You should not be playing 7 champions. That is too many. Literally I enjoy teammates more who have a small champ pool and just excel at it over a vague large I have played this guy once.

What happens if my one champ gets banned/picked by the enemy team?

Have 3 champs and it's pretty unlikely. Unless you like to play as cancer.

First dodge of day is usually -3LP and 5 minute wait. In higher games it is definitely worth dodging. In lower games, you still understand other champs so you can farm safely on a secondary. But I simply mean don't spend time playing the secondary because "I'm bored" or "Good matchup" or "I just want to."

Cho, Veigar, Vel, Nasus, GP are almost never banned. Ekko and Teemo are rare bans. So I don't think you have to worry too much about it.

It isn't that you don't know how to play the other champs. You just shouldn't try to learn so many. And the best way to avoid that is by literally only playing 1 champion. It is very hard to do, but it works.

If you want to play top, spam Garen. He's ez pz in low elo. Darius would be my other thought. Much stronger than Garen, but more likely to get banned.

I haven't played as Garen in forever, and I don't even own Darius. I've been a Cho'Gath main since I first started playing League.

You asked what champions you should play, and I told you. Do with my advice as you will.

with all the champs you listed besides ekko, they are all weak early on. Maybe try someone like jax for top lane(he wins a surprising amount of matchups), ekko is a good mid laner, but maybe ahri would suit your style? And for jungle if you want a late game jungler try jax or xin zhao or master yi, but if you want a jungler that can snowball other lanes, try ivern or graves or lee sin.

I wish that was my problem. My problem now is I go even or win lane and then enemy team out rotates, takes more objectives, catches team and wins. I get that I need to get better to rank up more easily but it's just really annoying. I hate this constant feeling of not only having to win lane, but win it HARD and push my lead down enemy throats to have a >60% chance of winning. And then doing that every game. I will continue to work on getting better to make it easier to do this, but at least in silver/bronze ELO there is hardly anything such as teamwork to consistently rely on. So its basically YOLO SOLO mode. Maybe others disagree... but I felt last season once I got into gold 3-4 I could at least consistently rely on teammates having some idea how to play the game besides FEED or WIN lane hard. I get no one in that elo is at pro level besides smurfs but.... I enjoyed having an actual team work aspect to the game.

People will say I am wrong but I am not. What is any high elos players advice to get out of low elo? Get good. Get good enough to get fed as fuck and don't worry about teammates because none of that matters. Said truth is their right. It makes sense but I personally enjoy trying to play with my teammates and build off of them. Reality is though... besides the 1-2 maybe players I will get a game that have some clue what to do after laning phase it's not even worth worrying about. So for now on.... going back to just being a selfish player and doing what I think is right. Leaving teammates to die to stay alive. Why? Well... because no guarantee enemy team won't end if I am dead. Obviously, if I have fed teammates that's a different story. But since those have been few or far between lately Its not something I really need to consider.

Go Yorick. (although others work). Yorick splitpush you just do nothing and give your team pressure.

top - garen mid - annie jungle - warwick

if you cant win with those three then you havent learned the basics of this game or how to work with your team. sometimes it's a dice roll though as you're just 1 of 5 players. dont expect to always win.
