Top: depends. fairly versatile lane. A few strong choices:
(has it rough with mana now though)
.
can go here or mid. Recently, ive seen a lot of successful
tops. I also personally like full damage
for his absurd assassination burst. Top Laners to watch: C9 BaIIs, Best Rengar NA, Sirhcez, Dyrus (though I find his games depressing).
Jungle:
are supreme right now. They just bring everything: damage while tank, mobility, strong AoE CC, and (minus Sej) poke. also,
cinderhulk is silly. Fuck
. Less-optimal-but-still-good picks:
. Junglers to watch: Santorin, Meteos, Nightblue3, Saintvicious (I don't like the oddone, but you can probably learn some stuff about jungle
from him).
Mid: lots of variety here. The pros favor
,
,
,
, {{champion:115},
,
, and others, but soloqueue has some more interesting stuff:
,
,
,
,
,
,
. At a pro level, it's all about counterpicks here, but at soloqueue level, it's wide open. Mids to watch: Bjergsen. You don't REALLY need to watch anyone else, imo, but you can also watch Hai and Froggen pretty often.
ADC:
(but don't because she's a cunt)
and maybe
are the real carries in the tank meta. I still like
, but he and
are really outclassed. Sneaky also plays a lot of
with middling success, so. I guess if you're Sneaky. ADC'S to watch: Sneaky's the only one I follow. Welcome to his butthole. I guess Double lift and Wildturtle are fine too.
Support:
are the real power picks right now, though many champions such as
are still strong.
is the most hated support because her heals are absurd, and you have to focus her.
is still great for hooks. Also, beware the
; he's on the rise. Supports to watch: Aphromoo and Krepo are my go-tos. I'm also an Xpecial fan.
