Help! Which playstyle and role fits me?

So I'm coming back after a long time of absence. Feels great. The fresh start means that I can go from a former one-trick playstyle that was so frustrating and one-dimensional that the burnout made me quit to being able to play a lot of things ( except for marksmen, those still suck to play lol ). Now that I'm slowly reaching level 30 though I think I need to narrow down my focus. I need to pick up a specific playstyle and a specific set of lanes/roles that fit that playstyle and then specialize in it. And while there are a lot of roads open to explore, I'm just scared that they will end up with a dead end that leads to frustration again.

What I thought I'd do is to give you guys some aspects about me and what I want from the game and let you guys give me advice on what kind if playstyle and/or role fits my personality and aspirations. I figured that there are a lot of people out there who had similar problems and dealt with them so if you are one of those people, please help. I'd also appreciate comments of people who are mid plat and above because that's pretty much where I ended up before I quit.

So, here we go:


-I hate playing marksmen or any other ranged champion that is auto-attack based -I love breaking off fights. I want to be the one who dictates when things start. -Champions that I love playing at the moment are Blitzcrank, Amumu and Morgana -I want to have a playstyle that fits two roles at once and those two roles should be something that is unpopular enough to get most of the time ( except for adc, screw that ). -I don't like playstyles that are very selfish and gold-oriented. Champions I think I would hate playing is anything that is super flashy, risky and easy to fuck up with mechanically like for example Riven, Yasuo or any kind of marksman. -I don't mind playing champions that aren't mechanically challenging, except for having impactful ultimates or skillshot abilities which can be really fun. -I want the champions I play to ideally have a low mechanical skill floor but a lot of tactical depth. -When I'm the one doing the best on my team and I have to carry, I don't want to be the guy that wins with my solo play by outplaying the enemy team 1v5. I want to be the guy that somehow manages to pull my teammates out of that hole that they dug for themselves and win as one combined force. -I like shotcalling and interacting in chat. When I come up with a good plan and my teammates and I are able to execute it, it's one of the best feelings you can get with League. -I don't like muting other players, even if they are assholes. I WILL have to communicate with them somehow if I want to win, I have to try at least. -I'd rather have a big and diverse champion pool of easy champions that can deal with a lot of tactical situations, rather than 1-3 champions that I'm so good at that they make up for tactical disadvantages. -I don't really care all that much when people get mad at me, I care more about people continuously getting mad at each other and not trying to win. While it can tilt me and make me really angry too, often times it's just stressful and exhausting. -I feel like having game knowledge is much more important than having good mechanical skill. -My favourite pro player ever used to be Hai, my favourite team C9. I really like how you could see his tactical genius unfold on screen. One scene at a game at Worlds ( can't remember which one ) where he almost managed to get a really devastating splitpush off with Zed by playing the vision game really well really stuck with me, it was like he was in a stealth game. I quit watching esports when he quit playing. -I prefer longer, drawn out games over shorter, more hectic ones. -The champion I used to one-trick was Gragas, shortly after the rework.


When you answer, please name two of the roles that would suit me the most aswell as some of the classes you think would fit me aswell ( so Juggernaut, Vanguard etc. ) at the beginning of the post. Thanks in advance!

jungle for sure

able to start fights, help teamnates comeback

seccondary could be support because there are also many champions that are able to start fights that dont have to be particularly flashy or playmakers

picking tanks or divers in the jungle/support lane is probably the idea for you i guess

I would say Zac is a potential option. He has quite a bit of CC and can literally slam 2 people together. Also, he can start fights with his E then take the people he landed on back to his team to annihilate. And no, I'm not suggesting this because of the name (Zach, Zac)Zac
