Choices Choices...
So, I have hit that fateful 6300 IP amount. As I have spent a large sum of IP on Champions and runepages, I find my remaining choices narrowing.
#Forward
Firstly, I know there is a new champion on the horizon. No, I will not get him until the price drops. Even then, I likely will not get it for a good while. Too much respect for mah DONGER.
Secondly, I do have my choices narrowed down a bit. Down to 3 actually. That said, I may be thinking narrow mindedly, and am interested in what the Boards think I should get, so please do give me your own thought. Just make sure that you aren't asking me to do something like get Heimerdinger when I already own him & all his skins (no joke, I actually do own all his skins). I'll let you know what champs I have left below.
#Playstyle Preferences
This is my general preferences when I play, so you can get a feeling of what I like.
-
I like champions like Anivia, Heimer, and Lux. Powerful, Good CC, Immobile, yet have excellent AoE and can zone and siege for days safely. While I don't mind a little mobility, I find that these types of champions are pretty stable, and surprisingly powerful. I also like being able to take these champions top if I have an irascible 5th pick that states Mid or FEED during my promos, so keep that in mind. Mid is my first picked role, if I can get it without a fight.
-
My second favorite role is Jungle. I tend to like champs like udyr, or trundle, brick walls that can stick to targets fairly well, while being quite capable of solo taking objectives if necessary. Jungle is my second role, if mid already is taken or I just want a change of pace.
-
My third favorite role is Support. Surprising, perhaps, but I actually enjoy setting up the player who is supposed to carry the team for victory. In this role, I like playmaking ability, and general durability. My current fav's in this role are Leona and Taric, with the occasional Janna. I tend to choose Support if my other two roles are taken, or if I am feeling out of it/lazy.
#Current State
So now that I have gotten that out of the way, I can tell you my current choices that I am weighing, and what I need to complete my collection.
#What I am interested in
-
Lissandra - While I plan on trying her out while she is free, I am thinking about her. She does seem to fit in with my current mid playstyle, and I have seen her bot lane as a support. I might pick her up if I like the playstyle.
-
A New set of Quintessences - This may sound weird, but I feel like I might pick up either a set of Life steal or Spellvamp quints, or possibly some %HP Quintessences. I really do feel my set of Quints is rather limited atm, so this might be a smart investment.
-
Braum - Haven't tried him either, but he seems pretty fun to play. Balance aside, I think I might want to pick him up, to shake it up instead of just playing leona in 90% of my support games.

#Afterword
http://imgur.com/OwdZYE6 I hope this gives you all the info you desire. I honestly enjoy this game, but I have always been indecisive about my big IP spends. So, I entrust the Community with aiding me. Also, seeing as the boards now have been updated, I felt it was high time to test the format of the boards for this sort of post. Hopefully, I get some interesting thoughts that hadn't occurred to me.
