What Champion Should I Buy?
I can pretty much get any champion. I like long-ranged champions, kind of like Caitlyn, Ezreal or Jinx. But there's so much to choose from.

what are you looking for first of all. any lane or adc specifically? and assassins or more utility? hypercarrys or early game monsters (trist).
I personally love Jinx, been trying to learn her lately. But I will go over a few of the pros and cons of each to aid in the decision making process (should be what YOU want, not what someone else says is OP).
Caitlyn: Superb range tied with her q pokes people out of lane, if not netting kills. A typical good trade with her would be using her passive to have a crit, and then auto-q-ing the enemy. It is very hard for the opponent to win such an exchange. The snack traps can be useful for preventing ganks if placed wisely, and can control team fights if an enemy lands on them / has one placed under them while CCed. Downside is that it is super critical to position appropriately with her because she has a minimal escape, suffers in close range duels, and has mana issues if you use too many of her abilities.
Ezreal: Often considered the safest ADC in the game, is overall average and has a decent kit for poke. Is not considered to be a hyper-late game carry like Tristana, Corki, or Jinx, and can suffer in early game exchanges if you're not careful. His ult can be great for pushing lanes that nobody wants to go to (unsafe, other side of map from the group, etc) or simply catching kills like the other long-range ADC ults.
Jinx: Can destroy turrets in a hurry with her mini gun, and can do decent splash damage when she switches to her rockets. Her zap is a great chase/disengage IF YOU CAN HIT IT, and her traps are a fantastic source of CC similar to Caitlyn traps, but over shorter time and in a small wall to prevent people from getting her. Her ult of course is very similar to Ezreal's, but cannot hit minions or objectives. If you are crafty, you can steal an objective by hitting a champion next to the Dragon/Baron, but it is much harder to do than Ezreal or Draven's ults. Of course of the three, Jinx has no hard escapes, and if you spam her w or e you can run out of mana in a hurry. Her passive can arguably be used as an escape, but only when she was part of a kill on a tower/inhib or champion, which can then be doubled into a chase utility.
Again, it's entirely your decision. I would suggest trying each first when they rotate in, even though that might be a bit of a wait if you haven't played them already. Best of luck out there!
Jinx is a LOT of fun to play if you're looking for a marksman. She has pretty low mobility so you have to be good at positioning though.
You should try a melee champ, if you like playing ranged (Im assuming you main ranged) learning to play melee champs are really easy, but are harder, and melee champs are really fun to play, just because of how well they are at massive burst damage like
But if you're looking just for and ADC, i recommend learning to play
just because of how well he can counter people, and deal high amounts of damage with his AA + Q He's a little harder to learn than Jinx, or Cait, but once you start mastering him he's one of the strongest ADC's ive played in the game.
Awesome, thanks for the help everyone. :)
Ashe is actually VERY good, but people just don't realize or don't fit her playstyle. If you are patient and can keep track of your position properly as well as your range, you can make so much change in a teamfight that the enemy won't expect it. Hell, even your teammates will ignore your doing. They will just think that they made dem playz while you held all of them down with slows and decent constant damage. She deals a load of damage, don't underestimate her. Also, you got to be patient and take advantage of your range.
Oh, and her range is just a tiny step shorter than Cait's. Many just don't know. I think Cait has 650 range while Ashe has 625 or 600.
Anyways, play her. It's 450 and she's fun as hell.
And don't get put off by her price tag and simplistic kit. In my opinion, she's far harder to play than many ADCs.
