Champions worth learning in each role.

Drains For Gains·Jul 31, 2017·3 votes·2,817 views

Right now I am unranked and I plan to stay that way until I feel comfortable on a few champions in each role. Right now I have found myself comfortable when I play Nidalee, Heimerdinger, and Janna. I want to expand my pool and some of the champions I have found that I like would be for top; Fiora , Kled , Cassiopeia . For jungle I enjoy counter jungling so I think that Ivern would be fun. I already enjoy play Nidalee , and I think that I would want to learn Kayn too. I like roaming in Mid quite a bit so I think I would enjoy Kassadin or Talon. From some of my higher elo friends the said that it would be fine to have a immobile mid that I enjoy playing too such as Heimerdinger . For ADC I have a friend who is currently unranked himself who enjoys playing support so I am planning on getting Xayah for that pair. I also think it would be worth spending some time learning Kalista or Jhin. As I said earlier I already feel comfortable on Janna for the support role. I think Blitzcrank and Zyra would also be some supports that I would enjoy and find worth spending time on.

Overall are these all champions that I think are worth spending time on. Give it your honest opinion and if you find one that is not worth learning in anyway shape or form please tell me a champion that is similar that is worth learning. Thank you in advance.

I did play him during his free rotation and he seemed powerful, but that may have been because he is so uncommonly picked that nobody that faces him understands how to deal with him.

I think those are all solid picks. The only thing I can see is to be wary of picking Ivern if you're lacking in damage on your team (most games this completely won't matter though, since people love to play damage champs.)

Yeah I did a little research and from what I read he is literally a support in the jungle.

So they are all good choices and worth learning?

I'd say yes.

I actually do have a few questions about Fiora.

How should I build her? Is she like a bruiser, assassin, I doubt a tank?
Who should I play Fiora against. Like what type of champions should I watch out for?
How smooth do you feel she operates? Like do her movements feel clunky?

Those are some of my questions. Thank you in advance.

Bruiser on the squishy side, , , , , situational
You can play Fiora against anyone, her hardest matchup is Pantheon, easiest ones are Ekko, Vlad, Zed, and Yasuo.
She's a very fluid champ, not clunky at all

Alright that sounds like a champion I would find comfortable. Thank you once again.

SpookyNeedle I have one more question, how would you play against teemo with Fiora?

My personal recommendations would be as follows.

Top: Sion Irelia Renekton Jungle: Maokai Gragas Skarner Mid: Anivia Orianna Ahri Malzahar ADC: Jhin Xayah Tristana Support: Janna Thresh

I tried Sion he just feels so clunky when he plays. I haven't looked into renekton though.

Thresh I heard is hard to play and I'm not a fan of playing support.

Oh, you'll definitely need practice for some of the champions.

However, I recommended them because they are all rather reliable picks who never really leave the meta. While they will take time to learn, you will pretty much always be able to use them.

While you might not be a fan of playing support, you will often have to due to autofill. You probably want to have at least two champions you are experienced with in the role.

Champions that take practice usual end up being the most fun to learn.

I'd try these champions for now simply because they are in the meta and are very powerful if used correctly. Top: Gnar Camille JarvanIV Renekton Jung: Gragas Elise Maokai Kayn Mid: Syndra Orianna Corki Cassiopeia Bot: Kalista Xayah Twitch Tristana Supp: Janna TahmKench Braum Lulu

I have Gnar, I was thinking about getting Camile. Jarvan just doesn't fit me. Renekton just feels to clunky for me.

Gragas feels uncomfortable for me, I do have Elise, Kayn I want to get same with Maokai.

I like Cass a lot. Syndra seems fun same with Orianna. Corki doesn't suit me.

Kalista and Xayah and want to purchase. Twitch I play a little bit. Tristana has trouble farming under tower and I get pushed in a lot.

Jannna I play. Same with lulu. Everytime Tahm is selected in our matches everyone says he will troll no matter what. Braum seems a little uncomfortable.

I understand those choices though. I am also not choosing champions to be a meta-slave I am choosing champions that I think are worth mastering.
