I'm trying to get a friend who is completely new to MOBAs in to League. What do you guys think would be the mechanically easiest picks for him to play for each position?

Toplane Malphite Garen Midlane Annie Lux ADC Ashe Jinx Support Janna Morgana No jungle because your friend is new.

Some of those are actually a bit wrong. Ashe and Jinx are some of the hardest ADC's they got no escapes. MissFortune and Tristana are the easiest ADCs. And the support role needs Soraka there. Soraka is literally the easiest champion in the game.

It is about the general difficulty. Miss fortune has the mechanic with the double damage of her Q skill I think it was? when killing a minion with it before. Soraka has the mechanic that when she heals an ally within a few seconds after hitting an enemy with her Q, the ally gets movementspeed. Yes they are easy, but not the easiest imo.

Ashe and Jinx may seem easy because they only really AA, but it takes experience to know when to use Ashe's focus, and swap Jinx's weapons. Plus, they have to kite with attack move, and have difficult ultimates to hit from a distance. MF's double up is an interesting mechanic but her laning phase is good regardless, and her ult makes teamfights a breeze. Tristana barely needs to kite with attack move since she can hop away every few seconds.

Soraka may have concepts that demonstrate mastery, but a first time Soraka will probably perform the best out of any other first time champion, all she really has to do is heal as often as possible.

how is jinx easy? For example, Miss Fortune and Tristana are like 6 times easier.. Jinx has at least some skillshots

Top Jungle mid support adc

Oh my god no, my friend who got me into league would fucking tell me the worst advice just to watch me fail. "Yeah, go Orianna support, she's a support after all! " "you know, if you bought more boots, you'd always be able to escape" "Buy a ton of attack speed on Orianna, it'll work really well with her passive" "I'm telling you, Lux top is really good against Garen" :(((

Hmm yes, 100% correct.

In terms of simplicity rather than effectiveness, heres what I got.

Top - Garen Jungle - Warwick Mid - Syndra Bot - Caitlyn Support - Sona

Syndra isint a very simple mid at all, more like Annie or Lux

I respectfully disagree. Syndra is pretty simple, especially her R.

MysticDreams12Dec 11, 20172 votes

For a new player? No. Trying to get her combo down and her spells are a bit complicated for someone new to the game. I agree with Pupper, Annie or Lux are the best ones.

Top - Jungle - Mid - Bot - Support -

Lol, one of these is not quite like the others cough cough Syndra. Even tho the passive q interaction after the mymu increased the duration of her spheres it still is a helluva lot to micromanage. And definitely isn’t a “beginner friendly” champion (some people are naturally good on her but the vast majority isn’t). Unless u are claiming she’s beginner friendly with her ult and that’s just baiting beginners to go oom trying to keep 3-4 spheres on the map to maximize the R dmg. Even then ur making them wait a minute (give or take) to do much dmg. Mechanically the R isolated by itself is easy.... but the point of the kit is far from simplistic and easy.

Toplane: Malphite Garen Pantheon Jungle: Rammus Nunu Mid: Annie Lux Marksman: Ashe Jinx Tristana Support: Soraka Janna Nami Lulu Sona

Wouldn't really reccomend them going jungle, it's way different from any other role in the game, also, you can experiment with midlane. There really is no "wrong" pick.

i dont really think jinx is that easy.

I'm gonna be honest here, from my own experiences, either playing them or going against them:

Top: Tryndamere Renekton Quinn Garen Darius Teemo Talon Jungle: Jax MasterYi Twitch Mid: Ahri (Ahri is a good champion to let beginners learn to land skill shots, due to the fact that her q goes through minions) Fizz Heimerdinger Lux ADC: Caitlyn MissFortune Tristana Supports: Zyra Soraka Sona Zilean

Definitely agree with Fr8 Love! I was obliterated in my first Olaf game unlike the other champs in the list. Replace Olaf for Mundo or Illaoi and the list for top will be fine

NaughtyWordNov 29, 20191 votes

I don't play top or jungle so I won't put my thoughts on those lanes:

Mid: Veigar Lux Annie Veigar is about as straightforward as a champion gets, particularly with Glacial Augment. You Q farm for the first 15 mins or so and then melt everyone. Lux has extremely forgiving hitboxes and isn't really weak at any point in the game. Annie has a point-and-click "I win" button on her R.

ADC: Sivir Ezreal All three of these champions are very safe, easy to learn, and with little effort anyone can perform sufficiently in lane. I will say Tristana and Ezreal have a higher skill cap but as far as pick-up-and-play these champs are golden.

Support: Nautilus Leona Nami all three of these champions are very good all stages of the game, a little tricky to know when to engage with naut/leona, but once that's figured out they aren't terrible to pick up. Nami in my opinion is arguably the most well-rounded support right now. Not crazy OP, not useless, and has great synergy with several ADCs.
