What's a good champion with high macro and low micro skill cap?

I'm looking to learn a new champion, and I enjoy ones that have hard macro decisions, but simple micro -- the less I can get from pressing many buttons in exact sequence (looking at you, Riven), and the more I can get from maco/strategy decisions, the better.

I liked old Taliyah the best, but new one, after her mini-rework mid-last-season, has higher micro and lower macro skill cap than old one (since she lost most of E's zoning, and now her W's effectiveness depends on how fast you can finish the input of direction, whereas before it did not).... anything comes to mind? I play a few champions that seem to fit the bill (not Taliyah anymore), but looking to expand my champion pool.

Twisted Fate and Lissandra come to mind.

Just about any fighter, bruiser or juggernaut.

they tend to be champions who prefer to afk farm for twelve minutes, than want to push their lead through split pushing. while some are hard, the large majority are easy to play once you learn the play style. What makes it even more fun is they are easy to learn with also high skill caps.

friendly ones to learn would be.

Twisted Fate comes to mind. As does Kayle.

All junglers have high potential for important macro play. Amumu and Nunu both have very straightforward kits with little room for mechanical error. They both get a bit out of auto attacking people mid fight (for the MR reduction and free spell, respectively), but can be played effectively without worrying about that.

Supports also have a high level of responsibility for macro management, what with the increased ward output capability of sightstone and expectation of red trinket, plus the possibility of roaming even during early laning (depending on your champion). Janna's the poster child for this; you can get through whole games without casting her W a dozen times, her R has no delay, and her only skillshot is a pass-through knockup skillshot that zones people even if you're silly and aim it in the wrong direction. Tahm Kench is also fairly macro-over-micro oriented as a support. You have to time your ally-saving W and self-saving E casts well, but you don't have to button mash by any means. And his R is a nice bonus for macro play.

Talon. He is the easiest assassin with a strong early game, but his real power is the map pressure he can apply by the correct abuse of his E. If you use it correctly Talon can be almost everywhere all at once

Singed. Pure and simple.
