Hi All,
I would like to know champions that would be a good fit as a complimentary champion in the same role to pick to learn (if I get counter picked or to enhance my general gameplay.) The champions to compliment would be, Ezreal Ahri Jax Lux
Thanks.
TTUPhoenix1 votesI can't help you with most of them, but Zyra plays very similarly to Lux, and works well in either mid lane or the support role. Both have a good snare to keep themselves safe or set enemies up for their combos, and both are good at zoning (in Zyra's case, through the use of her plants). Zyra does lack Lux's defensive shield, however, which means she's very vulnerable if enemies close on her.
IcySigh1 votesThank you for your recommedation!, I am however not looking for similar champions to play, rather one to offset the weaknesses said Ahri might have/
TehNACHO1 votesOh, I see.
I assume Ezreal ADC? In this case, what you want are more specialized champions. Ezreal is fantastic in that he can poke and siege at long range, he can burst with ability spam, and he can even scale late game pretty well, but he can't do every job perfectly. If you want to complement Ezreal, what you want to do is start using ADCs who are really, really good at doing very specific jobs. Graves is a pretty good Fighter and Burst ADC, whereas Kog'Maw and Vayne are godlike late game tank shredding carries, to get some examples out there.
As a projectile Mage, you're going to want a non-projectile Mid Laner to use against Tanky teams, or teams with Braum or Yasuo. Xerath for example has an array of powerful AOE effects that can't be blocked off by most tanks or projectile blockers, and he has the long range to keep him safe regardless. I'm not too familiar with Mages to be perfectly honest (I'm primarily a melee Assassin player in mid, hehe) but I do know for a fact that when dealing with a champ like Ahri, hiding behind tanks and being out of her range greatly hinders her offensive presence. Having Xerath who has a greater range and is less easy to block than Ahri would do wonders in rounding out your mage gameplay.
Jax is similar to Ezreal in that, depending on how you build Jax, Jax is capable of doing a hell of a lot of different things but is not the best at any particular thing. Again, specialization is the key to rounding Jax out, being able to find champions that do very specific jobs very specifically well. Jax is seen both as a top and jungle champ, so I won't call any particular champions out by name, but again, you're going to want to find a champion that is godly at doing what they're designed to do.
Lux is an odd little utility mage. With two mages in your repertoire though, I imagine you don't play Assassins very heavily? May want to look into that.
Kitten of Evil1 votesHm... Lux is somewhat similar to Azir, Xerath and Ziggs in that they're all zoning mages. Xerath and Ziggs also have her long-range poke, while Azir has more mobility than the others.
Miku Lv991 votesEzreal - Corki, Lucian Ahri -Kassadin, LeBlanc Jax - Fiora, Xin Zhao Lux - Karma, Syndra
CrankyChipmonk1 votesAh you are looking for a wider champ pool, not similar champs.
In that case, Cho'gath mid plays as the yang to ahri and lux's yin. He is not a poke or kite champ but rather an in-your-face bursty champ. He is every strong against champs like zed or talon, the ones ahri and lux struggle with a lot.
Ezreal is a slippery, pokey champion in bot lane. The opposite of him would be someone like graves, more bursty, with very little poke. A great pick against something like vayne because he dominates the early game and can set her back far. Alternatively there is jinx if you want more auto based dmg and still want a global ult.
If jax is top, he is a melee, brawling, auto-attack based chamion. Renetkon or pantheon are good if you need someone with a stronger early game than jax. Lissandra or kennen is a good pick if you need an ap top. Finally, sion or trundle are good if you are needing more of a tank. Top lane has a ton of variety so this is a difficult one for me to help without knowing who you are geting counterpicked by.
