Ranked Champ Pool (revised)

Slythion··2 votes·483 views

Thanks for all the help on my previous post guys, after all your advice I just wanted to double check to make sure this would be a good setup. I want to be able to go every role in case someone wanted to trade lanes or something:

Top: Malphite Gnar DrMundo Nautilus (I've never been good with fighters/glass cannon top laners)

Mid: Annie Lux Zed (I'm comfortable with Zed) Morgana (I kinda believe Morg mid is a sleeper pick. I find success with her utility and wave clear + strong ap ratios, but that's a conversation for another post)

ADC: Caitlyn Lucian Twitch (easily my worst role, but I have success with these 3 the most)

Support: Braum Soraka Blitzcrank Alistar Morgana Zilean (Is he still viable?) Sona (gonna get better with those last for ap/utility)

Jungle: Shyvana Amumu Nocturne(maybe Noc, not sure) Rengar Malphite (I'm comfortable with him) Volibear (going to try to learn this guy, unless you guys have some reasons I shouldn't)

Again, thank you for all the help guys. I made the mistake of playing ranked the weekend I hit lv.30 last year and learned a hard lesson that I was quite bad. I only started thinking about ranked recently, so I'll be working on a few things before joining the competitive rift.

Why are u worried about all 5 positions in ranked if you only need to be good at 2? Don't you think you are defeating the purpose here?

What's your best role? I think its better to learn one role REALLY REALLY well and then learn the other ones slowly than trying to learn them all at the same time. Its good to be comfortable in all roles, but I strongly recommend picking one in particular.

Mid/Jungle are easily my best roles, I'm decent at top but Mid/Jungle are my best (I'm not sure which I'm better at). The main reason I'm asking for all the lanes is if someone wants to trade lanes or if there is a bad matchup that we could fix. But yeah, Mid/Jungle are my main two roles

I'm going to repeat my advice from the first thread: don't spread yourself to thin.

If you want to climb through the ranks, you need to focus on improving your play in pretty much every aspect. You have to improve your farming, laning match-ups, warding, rotations, decision-making and more. To do so, I would recommend greatly limiting your champion pool and your lane choices until you have learned the fundamentals better.

As such, I would recommend you pick two roles (which you like the most, are most comfortable with, which holds champions you greatly enjoy) and focus on them. I would recommend picking at most 3 or 4 champions in each of the two roles and focus on them.

Learn their play-style.

Learn their item builds.

Learn their power-spikes.

Learn their match-ups.

Learn their purpose at every stage of the game.

While it can be beneficial to learn how every role plays (since it will help you know what to expect, who will need help, how they will play, what people will try to be doing), you don't really benefit from it without having solid fundamental skills.

You can climb through Bronze with any champion so long as your basic skills and play are better than Bronze. Play champions you like since you will play better when you are enjoying yourself.

I'd avoid twitch as ADC. I mean if you are super good with him go ahead, but he takes a while to get going and requires a team. Just my opinion.
