I'm currently saving up IP to buy a champ that fits my play style (I like to play champs that does not require any mana or use little mana and can deal a bunch of burst damage) and i'm not sure if i should buy a riven (4800IP) or save up to buy a yasuo (6300IP)? (or maybe you guys could recommend a good champ that i should buy?)
EDIT : Also right now im considering buying Lee Sin too, would you guys reccomend that?
OurLestrade2 votesI'd probably say Riven over Yasuo for a newer player, she's got a lower skill floor and some natural tankiness.
Thund4r1 votesWell i have several alt accounts, im not that good as lol is the first MOBA game i have ever played and i have only played this for about a month but i would say i can handle yasuo if i play him a couple of games. I tried out both yasuo and riven and i think riven is really strong once u get your broken wings off and she can burt so much. She has OK mobility but no much abilities for her to escape with. But yasuo on the other hand can go pretty much anywhere as long as he has minions nearby and his late game is absolute RAPE.
OurLestrade1 votesYou can't always rely on minions though. Plenty of Yasuos learn that the hard way :P
DJ Lucio1 votesHence why you build the good ol' speed up so you can run xD
Thund4r1 votesSo you would recommend riven over yasuo even for slightly experienced players?
OurLestrade1 votesI'm a support tank main so I'm not the best person for this, but to me Riven has the ability to essentially force trades whenever she wants with her on demand mobility, shield and CC. And in the realm of solo queue I've found that it's champions that can make stuff happen when they want it that tend to profit :P
Very Hard Engage2 votestechnically if you are going to buy all the champs, you start from the cheapest and then work back from oldest -> newest.
as while en route, champs sometimes get reduced in price, although infrequent its the best value.
but if you're looking for 1 champ vs another, you pick what you want or what will give you a better roster. prices dont matter, go after either.
ATM yasuo is the best pick but hes kinda hard to play (all of the champs you want are as well), overall id recommend riven, shes a little bit easier.
Thund4r1 votesSo once i hit level 30 or get a good rank would you recommend yasuo?
Very Hard Engage1 votesyou're going to want to play at least 50 normals of yasuo before you get a good understanding of the champion, hes just really high skill cap and you need experience with him. its not your personal "mechanics", but your champion skill that will make him shine.
VvVVvV1 votesOnly champ i play that doesnt use mana is Garen. Sort of feels like cheating using him but im told thats only because im in low elo. But idk if thats true.....ill find out if i rise. He doesnt use mana or energy. You just have to wait for cool downs. He is tanky and deals damage. Play him when he is free to see if u like him.
BLACK REALM GOD1 voteskatarina and riven are the same way.
BLACK REALM GOD1 voteswhat kind of champion/lane do you want to que for
Thund4r1 votesI'm stuck between Yasuo and Riven (Or maybe Jhin) for champions and i can play any lane except from support
BLACK REALM GOD1 votesjhin has mana and consumes it very rapidly. yasuo has a passive spell shield that builds as he moves and becomes active once the bar fills. riven is like garen and katarina in that you only need to worry about cooldowns to cast your abilities - no fury, energy, or mana.
Thund4r1 votesSo would yasuo or riven be a better choice if i want a champions who can dash in, burst them till they die and escape before the enemy team can arrive?
Oleandervine1 votesSo would yasuo or riven be a better choice if i want a champions who can dash in, burst them till they die and escape before the enemy team can arrive?
I'd you want that, you want an assassin like LeBlanc or Zed. Yasuo and Riven aren't as straight burst as assassins.
Thund4r1 votesI already own leblac on another account and she is HELLLA FUN but right now im looking for some other champions which are fun to play. I also tried out zed but his skill floor is way to high for me as i cant pull off much kills.
BLACK REALM GOD1 votesif you dont want to have to deal with mana i'd say katarina. between those two though it'd be yasuo. riven is more of a pokey pokey champ.
Linna Excel1 votesGet riven or yasuo only if you want your teammates to hate you even more than normal.
Thund4r1 votesYeah i know im getting hate if i were to play these character but they are just SOOOOO fun to play xD
