Best AP to one trick?

Trogmar··1 votes·4,536 views

I'm just Curious what you think the best AP champion is to one trick?Lane/role doesn't matter. Somebody that when mastered and carry a game in one way or another. Just remember it is one tricking, so you will have to go into other lanes.

Yeah, but then you've got to deal with yearly reworks.

Some people change champions every season.

Also overpowered as of now, and will either be op or shit until they get a decent rework.

He is very debatable. Who knows how long till riot will touch him again

It doesn't even matter, he'll still remain god.

Fairly sure he's getting nerfs soon.

Best ones are Orianna and Ahri honestly, they are always strong. Ori has utility and aoe damage, also is balanced and has almost never been nerfed but is almost always in the meta. Ahri is both waveclear poke mage and a high mobility assassin, is imo broken but is protected from nerfs because of anime fapping fanbase, also is almost always playable to a decent success. So if you like utility go for Ori, if you like pure damage go for Ahri.

Can agree with Ori. She's so strong when played to her fullest potential but only a handfull of players regularly play her, so you're pretty much guaranteed to play her.

Noteworthy champions would be Azir, Cassiopeia and Ryze i think.

DoktorKaiser1 votes

Azir is too nerfed, Ryze will just get reworked lel, I forgot Cass honestly, she is really good to main as well !

I would say Veigar but since the implementation of item 3814 mixed with the already existing item 3139 item 3140 item 3102 Kind of hurts him beyond recognition.

Annie Bot does well withAnnie . Excluding Jungle, she's viable anywhere. Make a top laners life really hard.

Diana Good in both top n mid, and very good in jungle. You can go full AP, or ap/tank if you need someone to initiate.

Fiddlesticks Super noob friendly, good in mid, support, jungle.

Fizz Good in top, mid, jungle, and he has multiple build paths.

Annie Straight forward champ, you can be 0-10 and still be scary with your stun up. Good in top mid support.

Ekko Mobile, CC, top mid jungle, can hard carry, initiate, be a damage dealer, or a tank.

Veigar You can play him mid or support (yes support), just hitting people with your abilities, gets you AP. I once lost to an ap viegar support who could oneshot a full MR build volibear like nothing.

Ryze, Vlad, Swain, Ekko, Cho, and Karthus are all really good because you can top/mid, allowing you to be a true one-trick.

Out of those, Ryze, Vlad, and Swain are the most likely to be able to solo-carry a game when your team is losing, provided you don't fall behind.

Diana works too, if you're dedicated.

I like Vlad myself, but it seems that he has to be played as a quasi-glass cannon these days to be viable. As for solo carrying, those days are long past. (These days, you still need one or two other players on your team who know what the heck they are doing.)

WoonStruck1 votes

Tbh, though, playing him 'quasi-glass cannon' results in barely less HP, much, much greater damage, and slightly greater healing.

Solo carrying is DEFINITELY possible, specifically as Vlad. Once Edge of Night is nerfed, that is.

If they don't have a front-line, a well-executed flank, even solo, can kill their entire team.


In this one-shot lethality meta, he's not that reliable though, hence why I'm waiting for the game to be put back in line to attempt to finish hitting diamond. Not because I don't think he's playable in this meta, but just because it will be faster, less work, and much less frustrating to climb lol.

Kayle Every role but bot viable and super hypercarry that's never banned

Very true, good mix of build too.

Technically Kayle is not a mage but a fighter. Excellent and flexible choice though.

As for bot being not viable - that's debatable. North American players kàylè (Master tier) and Kamishake (Diamond Tier) have literally tried Kayle in all positions. As long you don't run the same sort of build while in support and play your role, then it's viable. (There's a Europe West specialist - forgot his name. Worth checking out his builds too.)

Vladimir.

He's completely hidden OP.

Super safe laning phase, God-like late game 1 vs 2/1 vs 3 capabilities allowing for massive come backs if you know what you're doing. Fits in all team comps. Tanky AND deals AOE damage with low cooldowns. Team-wide damage amp.

A Zed with 2 kills in 10 minutes means that their team is ahead. A Vlad with 2 kills in 10 minutes means its GG.

Technically, Ekko is an assassin. A flexible assassin who uses AP, but not a mage as such.

He said he wanted to know the best ap champ for one tricking not mage

BlueBilberry1 votes

You can one-trick with quite a few of them atm:

  • Morgana Morgana for example works well as a support, but can easily find her way to top and mid.
  • Elise Elise and Fiddlesticks Fiddlesticks can be played mid, jungle and even support.
  • Malzahar Malzahar and Brand Brand are fine for mid and support.
  • Ziggs Ziggs is a neat one trick in that you can mid, support and "adc" with him.
  • Ryze Ryze is fine for top and mid. (But requires a bit of work to get used to his mechanic.) And where would we be without Anniebot's favourite: Annie Annie ? As Anniebot has shown. you can literally play Annie as top, support, mid, and even jungle.

Of course, there are others -- Karma, Leblanc, Ahri. It's a good time to play an one-trick mage. There's just so much flexibility.

If you're intent on complete mastery, the two best mids solely for one-tricking are probably Ahri and AurelionSol but if you want to move to multiple lanes you're probably better off with Annie or Ryze

Complete mastery for sure.

Try Ahri or Sol then. You get a fair bit higher than where you belong because you can bypass certain basic mechanics.

You just don't have to pay as much attention to the map or be in the right range all the time because their mechanics are far more forgiving of these things.

None since they don't abuse lethality at the moment, and if you don't abuse lethality, your chances of winning are down by a bit. But after the lethality shit gets fixed, go with Ahri Taliyah Karthus Orianna TwistedFate Ziggs Velkoz
