What champ should i play?

Okay, well I've been at this game for quite some time now, and I can't decide which champ I should try to main. What I strongly want from my champ:

Kills. Destroying opponents whether so my team can take an objective, wrecking teamfights, saving someone or myself, or just because I can, there's no better feeling to me than hearing "you have slain an enemy". It doesn't have to be straight 100-0, damage over time or other means are good too, so long as they are effective.

Late Game dominance. Early and mid game I can deal with being poor or even straight shit, if it means late game I'm a huge force to be reckoned with.

Things I would like (if a champ doesn't fit one or even any of these I don't mind, these are just extra things that might be nice):

Mid laner or ADC. I'm planning on making a fun little ranked team with my friends, and we've already got a top laner and jungler, leaving the other three spots open. The reason I don't say support isn't because I dislike it (I actually love supp mains, ssssoooo under-appreciated) but I feel its not possible to play support and accomplish what I would like to accomplish (without being a ksing dick). If a top laner or jungler fits me better however, please tell me!

Nice design and lore. Again, a very trivial thing I'm willing to overlook, but I'm one of the few people who actually care about a champions lore.

Learning Curve of any kind. I don't mind a hard to learn champ. (although riot's general design is an "easy to learn difficult to master" approach)

Price not a problem! :)

Well, I'd say that's it. Please leave your suggestions below, and thanks so much! I can't tell you how happy I am to have some guidance on finding my main! :)

Adc: any late game adc will get lots of kills. Vayne is the biggest late game adc but she isn't much for teamfights rather than split pushing (or split farming should I say). If you don't mind that, she seems to fit you well. Tristana and Kog'maw are two other options, although tristana has had some nerfs recently and people still seem to complain about her.

Mid: Syndra has crazy damage, and if you can land it without your e, you have an aoe ranged stun after your ult. I think she fits all of your requests. I like ahri too (lots of aoe, true damage on q and cc on e). Twisted fate is great for global presence with his ult to secure kills. His laning phase is brutal but you said you don't mind that. In general though, mid laners should try to snowball early for their team (in general they're not the best late game) so your preference seems more suited to an adc.

Good luck!

Just choose a champ that grabs at your gut feeling. I saw Tristana, and I was like, "she's the one", loved her character design from the get-go.

I support a lot, so I got Thresh and Janna. Love getting people kills, it's weird.

I also love poking. Found that out after I started playing Nidalee in ARAM, and Ziggs in the Free Rotation (Got em both lol). Which set me on the path to mid. Orianna fit the role perfectly for Supporting and Poking... Shockwave so useful Late-Game and does constant damage if built right.

Just try the stuffs you like. I like almost all the champions I normally play, I tend to prefer yordles (cute n dangerous) , "elegance" (i guess?) with Orianna, and well-themed champs (Nidalee).

One other thing to note: Pros finish fast as hell relatively. Late-game dominance usually means sacrificing early-game, sometimes to the point of fast losses. Just a thought.

For ADC suggestions: Vayne - Vayne gets bullied a lot early game, but carries HARD late. Skill cap is high, tons of kill potential. Tank shredder, great chaser. Very all-in though. Corki - Bit less Late-game dominance, but spikes mid-game. Tristana - Nice n Simple, abysmal mid-game though. I rush Avarice Blade > Statikk Shiv on her to cover up for it somewhat. Lots of kill potential, great disengage, reset on "w" allows for dive-in>dive-out finishes.

... I feel like I'm just spitting out the top-tier ones lol :P
