recommend a fun champion

pixelvoxel··3 votes·10,552 views

desperately looking for a champion to one trick that won't get boring or frustrating after three games, no bot lanes please (supports are okay). I've tried on separate accounts but they're all so binary and playing them from behind is the worst (and I'm always playing them from behind) since you have to wait so long just to be able to right click someone.

I want something enjoyable and useful from ahead and behind I guess. I just want to feel like I'm having fun playing League since I have no other games to play.

Taliyah. She's my all time favorite champ, for sure. Landing a full rotation with Luden's is **suuuuper **satisfying. There is a little bit of a learning curve and until you get used to it her W might feel a little clunky to cast, but once you learn her ranges and everything becomes second nature she is an absolute blast. Definitely recommend.

pixelvoxel1 votes

I got out of a game as her wondering why my Q has to suck so much after the first cast when it's not doing much for me in lane. She reminded me too much of Ryze, just waiting for a good time to use my ult but never having it and being too short range. Her W didn't feel clunky at all, I like the vector cast on it more than I did on Rumble.

Though it didn't help that I was fighting against LeBlanc and made the foolish mistake of taking barrier. I never got my first item.

Yeah, her Q does reduced damage upon consecutive hits to a single target. It's never really felt bad to me though. Especially once I finish Luden's, Her Q feels really solid and does a good chunk of damage if you land all of her rocks, sometimes even bringing squishies to half health.

The ult I'll agree is a tricky one. It's got A LOT of utility though. It's one of those 'the more you play the champion, the better you'll get at utilizing it' abilities. But you can use it to chase enemies, split teams, cut off paths or objectives, escape if you can make enough distance (because taking damage knocks you off the wall), cancel ults or channels (like jhin or xerath ult), and even boop people over walls. Just takes practice.

I personally agree the W doesn't feel clunky, but some people complain about it. Definitely prefer it to Rumble ult or Viktor E.

And about Leblanc, yeah. It happens. Assassins are always tricky matchups. Champions like Katarina, Zed, Yasuo, Akali, Leblanc, etc, all pose a bit of a problem for Taliyah, and really most mages for that matter. The matchups aren't impossible, just a little harder, especially if your lane opponent is good.

If you think you'd even remotely enjoy Taliyah as a champion I highly suggest giving her another go. If you'd prefer she's even pretty good in the jungle right now. I personally still prefer mid lane.

Even if that doesn't work out, other champs I'd recommend:

Nami Fav support, hands down. Damage and healing plus lots of utility. Very satisfying to land her Q. You can singlehandedly turn a teamfight with a good ult + bubble combo and it's the best feeling in the world. Katarina Personally I'm god awful at her, but she's high damage and fast paced with an interesting playstyle. I have a lot of friends who love her. Jhin I know you said no ADC's, but Jhin is sorta unique. His caster-ADC type kit makes him really fun. His skills are satisfying to land, and he does BIG BOI DAMAGE. Warwick An arguably simpler champ, but goddamn he's fun. You can build him tanky and be the team's good pupper (and still do decent damage), or if you're feeling spicy, get some movespeed and have fun ulting enemies from the fog of war. Also an easier champ to pick up. Camille Another champ I'm bad at but have a lot of fun with. Just turn on an hour loop of the Attack on Titan theme at full blast and run around the rift doing camille things.

Hope this helps a little, best of luck finding a champ you will have fun with. <3

You are asking too much, most meta champions are very boring to play and some of the most fun champions have been kept weak for a long time by RIOT or have a high ban rate

But well here is my list of the most fun champions to main, totally can carry a game if fed but also can change a game even from behind and they require dedication toplay correctly because they have so many combos and their outplay potential is endless.

Katarina LeeSin Yasuo Ekko Riven Aatrox Aatrox because he is soon going to be riven 2.0

pixelvoxel1 votes

I like Kat a lot, she's probably the only mid laner I can think of that straight up felt good to play. Flashy, good clean up, decent damage, makes my blood pump faster when I win a risky all-in, sounds good to me.

Lee's... something. I never learned how to play him when he was on free rotation, I just played him bot lane with varying results. I think he's interesting but it makes my hands freeze up when I play him jungle during a gank.

Yasuo gets banned so much I doubt I could ever learn him. He seemed alright when I could play him but the problem is the games were too one-sided for me to even think of anything else about him. It's... a maybe.

Ekko's hard, too hard even. I don't like his lane phase in the slightest and any time I want to roam with him it takes too long to shove the wave. Maybe I should stop trying to care about my tower though, it'll fall soon enough regardless of what I try.

Only played Riven in bot games but she looks like a lot of fun to play. Is her lethality build for anything other than destroying bad players like me or should I just use whatever's standard on her?

rip aatrox

Dude wait for Aatrox Xd, he’s going to be big as your screen, but ekko is quite best and if you put in the effort might be a good onetrick

Radiant Wukong1 votes

MonkeyKing Fizz Talon MissFortune Fiddlesticks Olaf Tryndamere

pixelvoxel1 votes

I hate Wukong with a vengeance, no offense. Every game I see him in he pops off immediately and then end the game with 4 items and oneshots everyone in the vicinity. I couldn't respect myself to play that even if it does work.

Fizz I always feed with cause I don't really understand how he works early game but I guess I could give him a shot. How does he get his damage in lane pre-6? Do you just walk up or do you like... Q-AA-W-E? It feels like he'd just die trying to get the proc off unless the damage isn't worth the risk which I'd be fine with. I still want to throw a big shark at someone someday.

I tried to like MF but it boiled down to playing the same thing every game and more often than not my games revolved around trying not to get screwed over by my support. It's too stressful, really.

Haven't played Fiddle in a long time but I remember having a good laugh when I did, it might be worth it. He is a champ I remember winning games even with like 10 deaths cause of his ult and fear. Though, I don't think he'd last very long in this jungle since he looks like invade bait and I wouldn't even be able to get my items by then but I'll try anyway, definitely.

Talon, Olaf, and Tryndamere have never felt enjoyable but I can't recall why...

Depends what you think is fun. If you want a champ that's always useful, play Malphite. It's pretty fun having 730 armor with item 3025 , or one-shotting people with his AP build. He has fewer bad matchups than people think since he can just take comet and Q max in tougher lanes.

Atmosphere1 votes

I'll recommend my favorite 2 champs for each role. Hopefully you like at least one:

Top: Kled Ornn Kled, both in voice lines and lore, is a crazy yordle. The only time you should be playing safe on other champs is when you go ham on Kled. Fight, get dismounted, fight, get Skaarl back, win. He's an awesome rollercoaster of a champion. Ornn, on the other hand, is a very calm champion to play. He's extremely good right now, and he's not difficult to play. QEW auto is a surprisingly bursty combo, and his ultimate can instantly win fights.

Jungle: Trundle Urgot Trundle is one of the premier junglers right now, but that doesn't mean he isn't super fun to play. His voice lines are goofy ("yOu'Re RuInInG mY gOoD mOoOoD!!") and his skirmishing ability is very good as well. His ultimate makes him surprisingly tanky, which is good when team fighting or split pushing, of which he can do both. Urgot DEFINITELY seems like a troll, but people overlook what he can do. His clear speed is CRAZY fast when you optimize his passive and W, he can skirmish early, he has a slow and displacement for ganks, and his ult allows you to kill low health enemies even if they're under tower.

Mid: Xerath Corki Xerath is the perfect champ for learning how to utilize skillshots, and he's a blast to play when you get the hang of things. He can poke from a mile away, his E gives time for a full combo, and his ultimate turns you into a living artillery cannon, which is so satisfying when cleaning up a fight. Corki, while not great right now due to being a late game champ, is fun in his feel, and brings a different ADC feel to mid lane. And believe me, if you manage to reach late game with Corki? He's an absolute monster that will shred through anything in his path.

Bot (ADC): Xayah Kalista Xayah and Kalista both carry one of my favorite themes with any champions: using positioning to outplay opponents. With Xayah, keeping track of your feathers to land a crispy E root can make her have crazy burst damage that scares enemies out of lane. Kalista is the queen of kite. Hop hop hoppity hop around and dodge every skillshot they throw your way. At the end of it all, rip all of your spears from them and watch their health drop. Plus, they're both awesome at taking neutral objectives, as Xayah's feathers can do a lot of damage when stacked, and Kalista's E can do upwards of 3000 damage to objective when the spears starts adding up on the baron or dragon.

Bot (non ADC): Lux Vladimir Lux has been the poster child burst mage for quite some time. Her poke in lane is good, her sunny disposition is fun to play with, and her QER combo does crazy damage and resets quickly on kills. Vladimir, on the other hand, is very strong right now. He's calming to play, and he doesn't get pushed out of lane easily. His vampiric theme makes him very fun, and his ultimate makes him a team fighting god.

Supports: Rakan Alistar Rakan and Alistar share the theme of "Get in and stop what they're doing." Rakan has such consistent engage after level 6, and his E makes him hard to punish. Couple that with his uplifting personality and dialogue, he's incredibly fun to play. Alistar, however, likes to stay in the fight. While his dialogue could use an update, his combos and choosing when to use each ability makes Alistar a fun decision making champion. His ultimate also makes him extremely tanky, allowing for him to not get blown up after engaging.

I hope you like at least some of these champs. I love a lot of the characters, and I hope you find a champ you love too. Good luck!

I have interest in more than a few of these, so props to you.

I remember one of the earliest champs I did want was Kled but it took me ages to get him and my first few games weren't all that great, but I do like the feel of an insane yordle riding a lizard. I played him more recently but only once against a very new to the champ Irelia. It was nice to figure out how to lane with him but after the first two kills I sorta realized how unfair that was. I'll put him on the list.

Jungle Urgot does sound like fun but I feel like I'll get invaded. Then again, it's probably easy to figure out when and where I will so I could try to avoid it. Losing buffs might be a big hit for a non-meta jungler but I'd see for myself. If they just walk in for kills or camps I could just not be there and go clear raptors or something similarly easy. Worth a shot.

I played a bit of Corki before this season and I can't remember but I think he was my highest KDA champ out of the way too many I played in ranked. I have more games on him than usual but I feel like he'd suffer way too hard in the current mid meta so I'd only get to pick him if the enemy doesn't pick an assassin.

I don't really like Xayah or Kalista, they've both been unpleasant to try to play and learn and weren't very fun when they did work. I could try Lux bot since she's a free champ for new accounts now (and you get put in smurf elo by level 5 from what I've gathered so I could get some decent knowledge.)

There was one point when I got a Rakan shard and played him so much it was absurd. Like I queued for support and played like 25 games straight of him in normals and ranked and loved it. Though I hear he's a full AP champ now so I don't know if I'd still like him since part of my satisfaction was buying all the weird support items to buff my teammates while I'm engaging. If it's just doing damage now that's not as interesting but it doesn't compromise his identity much. Alistar though... one game total and I don't remember a thing of it. It was back when I was really new to this game too.

Thank you for the recommendations!

Just as a mention, for Rakan, he's only full AP of you go mid. Tank Rakan or full support Rakan is still completely viable

pixelvoxel1 votes

Oh, okay good to know. I was confused cause it was an actual support Rakan but the only item they had was the spellthiefs. Aside from that it was stuff like deathcap and luden's. I can't remember where or why but it was on stream for a high elo player. Might have been trolling though.

Except Xerath, doesn’t add up to being existent sometimes, plus he’s a cannon who needs a target.

Pyke Poppy Nice and aggressive. Multiple ways to play aggressively or defensively and make some risky plays.

Rakan Braum can never go wrong either. Especially if you get in the spirit of things!

I used to play bot but now I've migrated to jg or top. Warwick is a pretty easy to play jungler with many different interesting builds (lifesteal, tank, fighter, ap) Yorick is also fun to play top, and while not completely meta he will teach you plenty about resource management. But his playstyle is pretty much exactly the same every game, and you might just hate it. He is unique and unlike any other champions. Pyke is good jungle that can really do well. His jungle clear is pretty iffy sometimes, but he can help both you and your team.

Hyquiem1 votes

Azir well you can have a insane lvl 1, if you are sure you won’t get tanked, second his mid to late game is insane no matter how much you feed in late game YOU ARE THE KING OF DPS teams are closer to each other and you shred them apart. It’s a long journey but the knowledge you get alone from playing azir makes up for the time, even if you don’t want to keep playing him his kit, and playstyle teaches many things about other champs

Second recommendation comes to Khazix
Where as him and rengar are quite similar in terms of get fed, Kha’zix is way more versatile in terms of rampaging kills. Overall onetricking him is fun.

Third recommendation Leblanc though the sake of choosing Leblanc is not quite so best, but when masterd your reactions to even the smallest windows of kills depend on your speed of using her kit. She’s fun when it comes to hit and run

Fourth place is for Jhin Four words. (1) Satisfication (2) thriller (3) suspense (4) A true art.

The fifth place goes to, our beloved Vinegar, the oneshots the crazy getaway.

All have enough skins to allow for game variety.

Zed is not viable

Tegash1 votes

Kayn Endlessly versatile and extremely fun, and here's why. Rhaast gives you team CC, tankiness, sustainability and is a good way to zone people out. You build item 3812 item 3065 item 3053 item 3156 item 3026 and you're basically unkillable. You can throw in item 3071 and/or item 3074 depending on matchup, or throw in some lethality if the enemy team is squishy.

Meanwhile, Shadow Kayn gives you hypermobility and picking power. Somebody alone on the map? They're dead in 3 seconds or less if they have less than 200 Armor. Enemy team clustered up? E in, W through a wall, retreat. Continue poking until they have to back off the objective.

I have to say, he's a little bit feast or famine, especially if you don't go Rhaast when you get your transformation. But he's a great champ and super fun to play.

Karma no matter what, ludens+liandries with an r+q combo is so stronk you always have an excuse when behind (she has a support-ish kit). And even when you're behind your playstyle will barely change. SHes viable everywhere except MAYBE jg and adc. She has many diverse builds, tank, poke, support, ad, burst, bruiser, etc... And people always underestimate the power of your q. Shes also never banned. Ever.

i can't.. not becuase they champions i recoomend arn't fun... but becuase they wont be any fun in thie current state of league.

sure i love Nidalee .. but right now she is absolute trash tier

the vast majority of her best counters are the most commons picks.. her clearly is absurdly hard and extremely susceptible to invades.

sure if u can hit lvl 3 and do a full clear without incident she is fine.. but no one is going to let u do that.

the scuttle and the celrity changes fucked her..

for a jungler i would have to say Warwick

idk why he gets special treatment.. but apparently he does.. and can actually duel at lvl 2 which is the most important thing for a jungler now.

thats all the matters.. dont fall behind in the jungle.. otherwise your team loses becuase there is zero way back into the game if your are behind in the jungle unless u can make it to lategame and happened to be on a champ that can outscale them

Ezreal, his play style is way more fun then other adcs. He’s all about skillshots so if you can land those then it feels super rewarding to play him. Especially with his new W, Ezreal is all about being a spell-slinging marksman, hitting your W and then your Q (or any other ability) feels SO GOOD. But I might be biased as an Ezreal one trick

thunderteamo991 votes

Top: Nasus

Jungle: Udyr he is semi tanky and if you build him right can rip through people, sadly he is banned semi often, but fun

Mid: Vladimir Personally, cant do anything with this champ, but i know he is suppose to be fun

ADC (i know you said no adc but im saying it anyways) : Ezreal He can also mid once you know how he roles

Support: Thresh is my all time fav champ. But he is a little hard so i recommend Blitzcrank who is similar but a bit more easy

GripaAviara1 votes

Top Tahm TahmKench , my favorite top lanner, you get two teleports if you pick summoner 6 summoner 12 and you can roam mid easily with ulti

Build: item 3675 item 2003 item 2003 item 2003 or if darius or other poker start with clasic item 1054 Rush item 3078 item 3009 Then it's up to the game to adapt, some items: item 3742 item 3143 item 3065 item 3748 item 3053 item 3001

If they are squishy-mobile it might be a good idea after the rush items + 1 tank item to get: item 3095

If you feel the team needs damage not tankyness you can try a highly cheese build: item 3124 item 3153
