Beginner looking to increase pool/roles

Draconian Dragon··1 votes·508 views

Hello, thank you for taking a look at this, I am still rather new to this game. I am only level 22, either way I have digressed I am currently looking to both increase my pool and increase the roles I am able to do. The only role I am currently doing is jungle playing Fiddlesticks but mainly Elise, who I love. I can play other roles with them but I don't feel they are as effective as they could be compared to who I am playing against. This brings me to my question/ request, what champions should I pick up and what roles/lane are they best at per the current meta(I hope I used that right). I love the play styles of both my current champions and that they use AP, although I realize I should expand my horizons. Once again thank you for looking at this and if you do reply thanks even more! I am sorry if this discussion is redundant, I could not find a relevant one that was recent.

Forget the meta right now. Some of the easier for the roles are

Top shen and garen

Mid annie anivia and talon

Adc cait ashe and mf

Supp annie sona soraka taric

All are easy to play and besides talon have an easy enough laning phase.

Welcome to League! If the jungle is where you've initially found your home then I suggest you continue to build your champion pool there. As you continue to explore jungle you'll find champions that can find success within the lane as well. The jungle mainly being home to melee characters I would personally suggest that you explore top lane champions. Jax, Aatrox, Olaf, Tyrandemere, Shyvana are all champs that you might have explored or seen in the jungle. Check them out and go from there. I think that would be the easiest of transitions for you before you consider the mages and marksmen.

Perhaps Kindred and then trying out some of the marksmen.

Good luck and once again welcome to league.

Yeah, I doubt you would find Fiddlesticks mid to be.... as "effective", like you said. lol

For increasing your pool and expanding your horizons: The answer is to play the rotation. It's here for you, dude! They always put up two champions who fit in each lane and can go to other lanes and positions as well. Play all of them a few games each week and find the champions that you find fun. If you find one you love you can incorporate them into your roster.

There are no "right" champions or champions that you "should be playing", so don't worry about that; just go play all the champions and knock yourself out. See you on the Fields of Justice!

Thank you as well, ERROR 1404 and Sona Ping I will take both of your recommendation and pursue them!

A quick note: almost all junglers can be used top lane fairly well.

Aside from that, garen and shen are definately two easy top laners to pick up. Shen imparticular will teach you map awareness.

Chogath is a safe newbie friendly mid and top laner if you want to have some AP.

Adc i would say miss fortune or caitlyn due to the lack of heavy mechanical knowledge needed to play them.

And for support would recommend sona or morgana.

honestly since you are new I'd stick to easy champions that allow you to focus on how this game works and the role in general. They don't all have to be crazy binary like Annie, but yeah. I'd really suggest picking champions that will make you learn something you are currently bad at:

examples for me:

TOP= Jax, Shen. Both of these champs have pretty simple kits but you have to use them right to win lane. Jax especially teaches you how to trade and use your cooldowns as a melee top laner with only one gap closer.

MID= Annie, Lux. Annie teaches you the basics of knowing when you can and cannot kill someone, is easy to farm with, and teaches the importance of roaming to get kills. As a Lux main I can say that if you play a fair amount of Lux your skill shots in general get better.

ADC= Ashe because she teaches you how to abuse range advantage while also having to focus on stacks. she also has no self peel so you really learn how to position when playing her. Lucian is good for learning how to time your combos with an ADC while introducing you to repositioning with small dashes.

SUPPORT= Annie, Soraka. Annie plays a bit different bot than mid. teaches you to manage your mana a lot better. Soraka is very simplistic and teaches you how to just stay out of harms way as a support and let your carries do the work while you heal them up. need good positioning with both.

JUNGLE= Rammus, Warwick. Rammus is better because he will give you an opportunity for early ganks where Warwick doesn't even gank until post level 6. Rammus will force you to use your time efficiently since his clears are not super fast.

AVOID high mechanical intensive champions as they are good, but you want to be able to focus on learning this game first before all else. Learn how the game works, rotations, managing time, basic mechanics, etc.

So avoid Riven, Lee Sin, Leblanc, Ezreal, Vayne, Thresh, Draven, Elise, Fiora, Nidalee, Fizz, etc.
