League is the type of game where you should play champions you think are cool, especially if you aren't gonna get into competitive. You can play whoever you want, but a majority of stuff that you need to be good at League comes from the generalized Macro game that everyone has to play. Here's a list of what's WAY more important than just learning a champ or two. Learning champions comes with time, but these things are required on everyone.
----------------Good Map Awareness! Check your minimap as much as you can, and bind Spacebar to Camera Lock/Unlock to look around with your mouse then lock back to your champion. Looking around the map is a very important skill, and knowing what your enemy is doing can very easily change the outcome of games, even if you are behind.
-----------------Warding! This goes hand-in-hand with the first point. Always keep a Pink Ward in your inventory at all times, and try to keep one up at all times also. For both pinks and regular wards, you can look up very simple warding guides that show you all the good places for wards. (Enemy Red/Blue, River Bushes, Dragon/Baron Pits, etc) Junglers will tear your ass up without proper warding and vision macro-game.
-----------------Farming! Learning how to last-hit minions is the most important skill in the game. Farming under tower, farming while skirmishing, or farming while being harassed are all skills you need to learn. Most of your gold will come from last-hitting, for the most part, and getting 6/7cs per minute is a decent goal for a new player. Even 5/minute isn't that bad. But, a very important skill is when NOT to farm. If you are getting bullied hard in lane, there is NOTHING WRONG AT ALL with just standing back within line-of-sight of the enemy wave, and just waiting for the wave to come to you. You still gain experience points for leveling even if you are just waiting around, and sometimes missing a few CS is MUCH better than risking CS and then getting killed by an opponent, which only makes it harder to farm later on in the game. Trust me, there are TONS OF PEOPLE who NEVER STOP TRYING TO FARM/ FIGHT, and it will seriously save your ass if you learn when to farm, or when not to farm.
-----------------Builds! This is where your specific champion comes into play... BUT! This is still very generalized. A Majority of champions will build similarly based on what are the powerful builds and items at the time. Most mages will either go one of three builds: RoA-Tear Mana build, Ludens Burst Build, or GLP Ice/ Glaical build. Just knowing these is easy, and the sample builds in the game will work fine. But there are some minute details. Make sure to build the right boots. Boots are extremely important, and building defensive boots, even on an offensive champion, can very easily give you a better advantage than going Magic Pen boots. Also, armor/MR items are NOT just for tanks. In lots of cases, you might have good damage, but you just die WAY too fast in the late game. If you already kill the opponent fast as fuck, there's no reason not to get some armor or magic resistance to survive a bit longer.
-----------------Answering your actual question! There are lots of cool, fun easy champions to play. Generally, assassins and fighters are harder, mages are easier, tanks are mega easy, and ADCs/Supports all vary. But, don't let this discourage you. Play who you think looks cool, or maybe pick a style of champion you like, fast and aggressive, slow and bulky, long ranged and sniper, etc. Here's a list of some very good intro champions I think would be great for a beginner. I'll do 3 per role.
-----------------TOPLANE: 
All of these champions are pretty easy, very cool, and have a decent amount of tank and damage. They might take some getting used to, but they function very well in most teamcomps. Darius is a slow moving Goliath who deals a ton of damage, and is very durable. His executions make from very dangerous for opponents to attempt ganging up on him. Swain is a more tanky mage who specializes in close-range spells and then turning into a demon and going ham into the opponent's ranks. He is very easy, but might require some getting used to. Swain also has good tools for Vision control. Illaoi is a little bit harder than Darius, IMO, but she is still simple. She is also slow and bulky, but she summons tentacles to deal damage for her, and she can devastate multiple opponents at once in teamfights with her giant attacks and health regeneration.
-----------------MIDLANE: 
Ekko is fairly standard in terms of difficulty, but his R is a great safety net for new players. He does a lot of damage, has a great laning phase and scaling, and he can do very well on his own. Galio is a slightly tankier Midlaner/Mage, and he is very easy. If you struggle against Mages or AP assassin, he's a great way to deal with them. He also have a pimp R that lets him save his teammates. Finally, Zed isn't the easiest (Some people might say he is), but for a new player, he will take some getting used to. He's very fun, fast, and has a lot of options. If you can play Zed, you can probably handle almost any other champion in the game. He's great for picking out targets and singling them out in 1v1 duels, and his blinks with W and R make him very evasive. Also, his passive allows him to get farm/last hits VERY easily, especially under tower, so if you struggle with farming, he might be able to help out if you can get his mechanics down.
-----------------JUNGLE: Don't play jungle until you are better at the game, the role is very abrasive and if you don't know what you are doing, an enemy jungler is going to walk all over your ass. This role most heavily is dictated by what champions your team has, because it's the junglers job to fill the missing gaps in your team's composition. Some of it is easy, but it's also very risky for new players. Save it til a bit later.
-----------------BOTLANE ADC (Attack Damage Carry): 
Lucian is a bit of a harder ADC, but he's very quick and if you like faster champions who cast lots of spells like an assassin, Lucian will fit nicely into your hands. Jinx is a very good all-rounder ADC. She has extremely good late game, and her early isn't too bad. She gains tons of speed if she kills an enemy or a tower, so if she gets started, she can run all over an enemy team. Varus is more like a mage than an ADC. He can build into either really strong attack speed, or instead go for a build that lets him fire massive projectiles for artillery and deal damage from far away. He's very easy, and his ultimate is great for teamfighting, as all you have to do is cast it into them and watch it work.
-----------------BOTLANE SUPPORT: 
: I'm gonna get hate for this, but Brand is an excellent support for a new player. He is VERY easy, amoung the easiest champions in the game, and he deals a ton of damage. For a poking/aggressive support, you can't go wrong with Brand. Blitzcrank is the archetypal Hook/Fisher support of the game. Press Hook, press Uppercut, press R, and you are going to fuck someone's day up with tons of CC. Nami is a very good, medium difficulty enchanter support. Her heals are good, her CC is okay, but her ultimate is VERY good in many situations. Need to escape a gank? R. Need to engage a teamfight? R. Need to create a wall to stop enemies from escaping? R. She's very good, I highly recommend her.
Have fun!
PS to all you other guys: I could care less about if you think a champion is hard or not. Learning a harder champion or trying them out is very good way of gauging how well your mechanics are doing. Zed is fairly difficult, but he's also got some simple elements that make him perfect for a newer player. Even though Talon is easier mechanically, his kit limitations and reliance on roaming make him harder to play for a new player that is unfamiliar with the Macro game.
Without sounding like a dick. No, it's easier and probably healthier to find a different game, league if a toxic addicting terribly unbalanced game that unless you have 4 friends becomes very unfun very quickly. I really do recommend any other game. Grimdawn, terraria, fallout, minecraft honestly.
anything you want to play.
