What type of people play the different roles?
Recently I've played many different roles, as I intend to become a multi-purpose player in hopes to help my chances to proceed through the ranks of league. While I am a generally neutral player when it comes to champion select, and in-game I have noticed that there are many different "unique" types of players.
Each different role, has a very different player, with his or her own preferences. As long as that person plays with a champion well-within the meta for their lane, I find that the personality will stay relatively similar.
I am going to identify several different lanes, and the different types of champion styles that break down into sub-styles. These are the main categories I will be covering.(I will briefly touch several awkward roles, like assassin bots and other similar weird roles.) 1 (how I'm going to explain and cover each role) 2 Top - Fighter, tank, assassin (then the rare and generally hated marksmen tops) 3 Mid - Mage, fighter, assassins (then the even more rare "tank" mid) 4 Jungle - Tank, fighter, assassin. (the outdated marksman, which I will still cover) 5 Support - Tank, mage. (there are others like assassins, and fighters which typically don't work) 6 Marksman - Marksman ( then the trolls/meta-breakers which are funny from time to time.)
DISCLAMER:::: None of this is to be taken more seriously than you would want it to be. I do not mean to offend anyone, and if you get called out for being stereotypical, and or are easily offended, please do not read on. There are exemptions to everything I will state, PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND.
1 I am going to briefly bring up each role that appears in each lane, I will state my experiences and my own personal actions when I play each role.
2 Top lane. Top lane is one of my favorite roles, as I enjoy playing solo lanes and winning even fights as much as the next guy, but some times the most toxic players reside top so beware.
2:1 Fighter top lanes: Fighter is the most common style of top laners today, and as such I can't simply put on generalization on it as a whole. Most top laners who play fighters desire to stomp their laner, and want to hike up their carry pants mid-late game, I find this often to be the case, and I myself tend to participate in this fun little endeavor. Unfortunatetly with the desire to carry comes the tendency to roam. Now, roaming in itself is good, and in most cases very beneficial to your immediate lane neighbors, and can help a losing lane come back. However, roaming requires proper timing, or an AD based top laner may be able to push your turret while you are out. I have seen and had this happen far too many times, and this tends to enrage the top laner, and especially fighters. The aggressive style players tend to lose hope entirely if they lose hard, even if just by a small margin, and get extremely cocky if fed in the slightest. Top fighters can be a hit or miss, you could get a good, and humble fighter who plays because it's fun, or you could get stuck with some cry baby, who rages and blames all other lanes if ANYONE loses a lane.
2:2 Assassin top lanes. I personally hate the assassin champions. Not like everyone would expect, like they're op, or they're not fun to play against. No, that's not the problem. My problem is that most people that play assassins are cocky and toxic as raw sewage, and are blind to any mistake they make. This blindness prevents them from becoming better players, and often results in destroying their own chances of winning. Assassins should stay out of top, because it is a very vital role, as most of the tank in your team will either come from top/jungle/or very rarely today, support.
(Stub, I am currently finishing this, and it will be done in a couple of days, please refrain from yelling until you are able to read the entire forum post)
