Solid champions?

Trogmar··1 votes·621 views

Any metas come and go certain champions shine while others are as useful as eating tomato soup with chop sticks. Who would you say are champions that are good and usable through the meta changes. Obviously if you one trick and master a champion they can be useful anytime, but who are some that never are a bad pick?

I played Darius all the way to diamond and he is always a good pick no matter what in any meta.

Teemo is very reliable, but only if you are skilled at him.

I am not afraid of downvotes! I love Teemo!

old teemo maybe, the new one doesn't seem as good.

Nah, the Teemo now is great! At least the way I play him (Nashor's Tooth, Hextech Gunblade). Full AP Teemo isn't as good as most people say tho; great shrooms, but low DPS without Nashor's/Gunblade.

I got a bit off track, but the point is, if you know how to play Teemo he will always be a good pick! (Unless they do huge reworks, but luckily they left him out of the Marksman and Mage Update although he is both XD)

Malphite: Rock Solid

But yeah he is.

Lets do one for each role.

Top: Malphite/Mao

JG: J4? I would say Gragas but he is getting some hefty PBE nerfs

Mid: Anivia is never out of fashion, just not played much. Ahri also seems fairly consistent and in a place where she is unlikely to get nerfs or buffs any time soon.

ADC: I would have to go with Ezreal. He does everything at a long range. Unless they make IBG melee only he will stay relevant because of that and his high amounts of safety.

Support: A bit more meta oriented imo because it is designed to fill out teamcomps, which shift with the meta. In general though tank supports tend to be pretty stable. Something like Naut is unlikely to every be a bad support pick. Same with Leona.

If you are good with a champion, you can make them work in most metas without issue.

However, some generally reliable picks would be:

  • Top: Irelia, Maokai, Trundle, Gnar, Gangplank, Singed
  • Jungle: Lee Sin, Elise, Gragas, Amumu
  • Mid: Lux, Orianna, Viktor, Anivia, Ahri
  • ADC: Sivir, Jinx, Lucian
  • Support: Janna, Thresh, Morgana

These champions may occasionally be overshadowed, but there are never a bad pick.

Note: For anyone who question the inclusion of Singed, I included him since his non-standard playstyle tends to bypass much of the meta entirely.
