What are some Easy champions that are strong right now?

I need to find a few people to play that aren't very mechanically challenging. I was thinking Ryze and vlad would be good. Maybe even lux?

Ryze is mechanically challenging, Vlad isn't that strong right now, Lux requires you to land skillshots but is still pretty basic.

Top: Garen, Mundo Mid: Annie, Malzahar Jungle: Warwick, Amumu Bot: Ashe, Caitlyn Supp: Annie, Sona

Lux's skill shots are fairly easy to hit, they all have decently sized hit boxes. How is ryze mechanically challenging? you just spam abilities. The only thing I see hard is mana consumption.

Constantly landing skillshots and memorizing ability combos for different situations to maximize damage output along with good stutter stepping. He's considered pick/ban in pro games but his overall winrate is quite bad implying that he can only pay off if you're quite skilled.

Ryze is probably still labeled as easy from pre rework times but now managing his passive and knowing when to ult raise his difficulty from very simplistic to middle-high range.

Even before his last rework Ryze's winrate had a clear upwards curve as you moved up in elo implying it still required a lot of mechanical skill to succeed. Even if his abilities were targeted you still had to use them all in the right order EXACTLY when they came off cooldown all while managing your position with perfect stutter stepping.

Sure! thanks for the input!

Garen top MasterYi jg Heimerdinger mid Caitlyn adc or Sona support, all are pretty successful low difficulty champions that are very good currently.

3ofGot40veJan 27, 20161 votes

I enjoy yi quite a bit. I pref darius over garen, is that alright? Also for supp/adc I was thinking blitz/luc

TwinkieProJan 27, 20161 votes

Darius I consider more intensive than Garen. Garen doesn't need to aim anything, is beefy as hell, fast, and strong, with only steroids in his kit and a nuke of an ult. Darius is slightly more difficult in that his Q has to be aimed correctly for maximum benefit and his e not be out of range. His ult does tons of damage, sure, but requires that you stack up your passive for that dirty damage.

Brainman99Jan 27, 20161 votes

Blitz is definitly good but on lucian not so sure cuz his playstyle revolves around weaving autos( which if you think is your playstyle go for it). Ultimately its what you feel comfortable on that you will do the best with. Ps darius is great

top: DrMundo Maokai Jax jg: Rammus Sejuani Warwick Nunu mid: Akali Annie Kayle ADC: Caitlyn Lucian MissFortune support: Soraka TahmKench Taric Annie Sona *

not mechanically challenging since it's auto aim QW, tag people with E and land a pretty good sized skillshot, but hard to play right at non-shit elo due to how reliant she is on proper positioning to do anything without feeding

Brainman99Jan 27, 20161 votes

Although all of these champions are easy im fairly certain that nunu jg taric support maokai top arent very strong.

Ahri,Lux,Brand,Trundle,Diana,Voli,Mundo,Corki.

FrankerXJan 27, 20161 votes

well ahri does need a little of skill. i see a lot of players using their q + r and move in a weird way so the q doesnt hit at all. timing is kinda important on her. same goes for diana. she sure does a ton of damage but if you go in the wrong moment its game over

after all i'd say: all tanks. mundo maokai nasus gnar GAREN (garen is funny)

E/Q/W/R/Ignite/R/R/Q/W.

Her combo is easy when you land her E, but she's also very predictable without her ult up. She can struggle against people who can position well and out trade her. She's kinda fragile too, especially with the assassins. I'd vote for Lux or Brand if you want a safer playstyle.

Blumpkin NationJan 27, 20161 votes

I'd definitely agree with Mundo, Voli, and Corki. Trundle requires a little practice. Ahri, Lux, and Brand aren't difficult, but do require more positioning (Lux/Brand moreso than Ahri) to be efficient. Diana... I dunno. I never play her.

People consider Ryze hard but to be honest you just gotta manage his mana and passive I have much more trouble with skill shot champions like lux and ziggs than ryze anyday. I honestly play with quick cast and just on 4 stacks activate ultimate then mash qwe as fast as I can and it actually ends up doing combos I have no idea how or why but it ends up looking like I do decently good combos. I have been called a scripter since "no one combos that good in silver with ryze" and many other things from people. Might just be how my keyboard imput works or something idk. Annie is pretty good though I think for me easy is no skillshots or easy to hit ones.

No champions are easy. but some mechanically simple champions that are strong right now include Amumu Swain Vladimir Gangplank

Play lux but make sure you're using up your passive. When you q someone and throw e on them don't immediately pop it but auto them in between to consume the mark and maximize damage output.

Mr VulcanatorJan 27, 20161 votes

Vlad is weak against most champions and there's pretty much nothing you can do to outplay someone. He's entirely reliant on someone that deals damage really slow over committing to a fight.

windwolf777Jan 27, 20161 votes

At a low elo MasterYi if you keep practicing him, he can carry you to higher ELOs if you get good at timing your Qs and maximizing how you use your meditates.

Master Yi?

As far as ADC's go, while MF and Graves are banned a lot it could be worth it to try their reworks out. They have changed; quite a bit in Graves' case, not so much in MF's case. Or you could just wait for Jhin who can crit people in the face for their entire health bar near the end of the game.

Supports... it's hard to say what's easy to play. This is one of those roles that depend on your play style. If you do well with casters, Lux is a very strong pick, like she's always been because her damage and zone control is ridiculous... not to mention a full combo after you land your root is fucking devastating. If you prefer tanks, Taric is actually pretty good right now. He's not amazing, but not god-awful. He gets really tanky, and all you have to do is stun the adc when they go in; he's anti-engage, and his heal will make him downright annoying against poke combinations. A pretty safe pick overall.

In top, Mundo is really strong, but you'll never get to play him. However, Vlad is pretty much never banned for pretty much the same reason as Mundo; the new masteries break champions with really good regeneration or lifesteal. Jax is also someone who has a really high ban rate lately, but he's not that hard to play and just wrecks towers in the mid game. That or you can faceroll as Teemo; just make sure you can place your traps well, and know your match ups. He counters a lot of enemies... although Fiora is actually a problem for him now. His blind used to make her totally worthless, but now her kit is an overloaded monstrosity that gives most Teemo players hell with all the random heals and dashes.

In the mid lane, most of your go-to laners are still just as strong as they used to be. Annie, LeBlanc, Ahri, and Fizz are all still stupid easy to play, and deal tons of damage no matter what. Or you could go Teemo mid, and use that click to win blind. lol. Frequently, though, I've been stomping with Veigar. He may take a while to get used to, but he is not a mechanically complex champion. Quite the opposite actually. Since the buffs on his rework, he's found his place as a long-range farmer with his q, so half the time he can poke from half a century away. He's almost always strong anyway; he just stacks his AP until he just destroys everything, lol.

In the jungle, not much has changed either. Vi is still the same "little skill in, large power out" champion she always was, WW is REALLY strong right now, as his ult will proc thunderlord's decree on each hit... at least, unless riot patched it which I doubt. However, overall whoever you used to play in the jungle is probably still good.
