What should I one trick?

I'm an ex plat player and most of the meta champs I primarily find unfun. I find adc especially unrewarding, as it is so hard to carry even if you're fed. So I have made the decision to one trick something outside of the bottom lane. Any suggestions on something that can carry games? Stylistically I like to do damage and not get one shot. I like to be able to initiate fights and whatnot. Preferably something with some mobility and doesn't get banned often. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

Okay...

Being able to do damage and not get one shot suggests a bruiser of some kind. But you want a mobile one, so that crosses off juggernauts. You are looking for a diver with a low ban rate.

For jungle you are probably looking at Shyvana or Vi as your best options. Maybe evelynn.

For top Tyrnd, Wu kong, Jax, or Irelia come to mind.

When I see your description I instantly think of LeeSin but he gets banned often...

A few strong suggestions.

Ekko, Lee Sin, Wukong, Gnar, Gragas, Hecarim, Jarvan IV, Jax

All have mobility, durable and flexible build paths, strong initiation power, solid damage, and most of them (Lee Sin excepted) aren't banned much these days. Further, most of them are playable in at least two positions (Mid/Jungle, Mid/Top, or Jungle/Top), which increases your odds of being able to one-trick them in draft play.

A few might even be solid Mid/Top/Jungle picks, if you get good at them. Jarvan IV, Wukong, Gragas, and Ekko especially can handle all three roles, if a little unconventionally.

Don't one trick tbh.

junglers and supports carry games. the rest of the team is the backbone of the team. without a decent support and a decent jungler to roam and press 2v1 scenarios then it's hard to win.

if i were you i'd choose one of those roles. if you choose support you're likely to feel like you're not contributing and it might seem boring, but support actually does a lot behind the scenes.

For the jungle Vi would probably be your best option. She is really strong and does great damage while still being a reliable tank.

Probably looking for juggernauts/bruisers/divers

Darius is with ghost/flash fine, but he may be banned Fiora is on the squishy side, but works Chogath can do it in the jg Illaoi is basically always iffy because of grev wounds and immobility. Worth a try, she is really fun Garen is just underwhelming right now Mordekaiser idk about this one, but I think his initiation is pretty poor Riven can tank more depending on build Yasuo is the same with Riven Ekko Jax Kassadin LeeSin Kled Nasus Renekton Rengar Singed (yeah, but you have to be really dedicated and patient) Udyr (updates next patch might make him a good choice) Vi XinZhao

jungle Vi, jg/top Xin Zhao would be right up your alley. Irelia is another one similar to Xin Zhao. Also Riven. VulDread gave a good list.

MonkeyKing Has damage, can initiate, has room to outplay, is rarely banned and can absolutely crush a game.

Hecarim Just an absurd champion, but there are other champions getting permabanned so you might sneak him in sometimes.
