Kled, Rengar, Talon, Zed, or Yasuo?

Sorry if this is the wrong board. However, I'm saving up IP to buy a champion that I like the playstyle of, specifically those mentioned above. My thought toward buying each one:

Kled: Absolute beast, sounds like a boss, and he's fun to play Rengar: Literally a stabby cat that jumps out from the bushes and can burst you down quickly. What more to say? Talon: Reminds me of Assassin's creed, and I love his abilities Zed: Shadows, good burst. Yasuo: Very high burst, "flow", and the katana

If you guys could make this choice easier for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Kled: Basically like a semi-bruiser/semi-glass cannon fighter. He's extremely fun to play and his kit and voicelines are just amazing to play with. Having to learn how to juggle and handle his unmounted form is really important though because it's severely weak in order to balance for his stronger, mounted form. Also, with Kled, just rushing in sometimes will actually work between his dual forms and the shield from his ultimate, that can lead to an easy follow up from a team. Don't be afraid to smash through their lines.

Rengar: Basically 101 on how to instantly delete almost any champion in the game if their reactions aren't fast enough. His skillfloor is pretty low, but he has a pretty high skillcap that revolves around different combos and timing abilities and the like. He can be fairly fun. But he's sort of useless against a team because if he tries to dive in, they can just instantly CC and kill him if they know what to do.

Talon: His laning phase is sort of rough against anyone that knows how to play against him. He's fairly straightforward, sort of like Rengar in the aspect he can just ult to delete any one squishy target usually. He has no big CC though, outside of the momentary slow from his Rake (W). But with good ultimates, you can hit and Rake through an entire team to deal some hefty damage by targeting their ADC at the backline. Downside is you will probably die unless your teammates can instantly take the aggro away from you or otherwise protect you.

Zed: He's actually really bad right now, contrary to what a lot of people believe. Good Zed players can be extremely good because of his high skillcap, but he's just not really that good right now. Still somewhat fun though.

Yasuo: He's quite fun, has a low skillfloor and high skillcap, and can usually irritate the living hell out of anyone. Basically sort of like Kled in the style he's a squishy fighter (with the exception of that cancerous fucking Tank Yasuo build that's getting nerfed), except he relies on getting 100% crit chance with his doubled crit passive + building IE to negate his own crit damage penalty + attack speed items. He's basically a melee ADC. He also utilizes his E dash and W windwall to strive off attempts to attack him as he weaves through and chases after people through minion waves.

Depends on what you like. Hope it helped.

I honestly recommend rengar. Hes simple and fun! Yasuo is very good right now but he will probably get nerfed soon, because he gets wayyy to much play time. Ive never played talon or zed but from what ive seen they are both good champs. Kled is Kled.

if Im ranking in order:

Rengar: killing machine, he is in a good place right now, so no nerfs expected anytime soon

Yasuo: he is a samurai, however nerfs incoming, gets picked/banned almost every game.

Kled: really strong right now, new champion likely to get nerfed sooner rather than later

Talon/Zed: AD mids arent the most ideal for team comps, and lot of zed players arent really good with him.

Just get talon, he is Simple unlike zed or yasuo and not as useless as rengar if rengar doesnt have any kills. but if you like champs that can outplay then get zed.

Short answer Zed/Talon

Disclaimer number 1: I have no experience with Yasuo and little experience with Zed. Disclaimer number 2: This is my biased opinion.

1 - Kled is insanely fun. Of all of them, I believe is the one with the biggest adrenalin rush moments. When you lose Skaarl in a team fight and quickly recovers you fury only to have the the glory of recovering that goddamn lizard and completely turn the tides of a battle... Ohh, there is no describing that feeling. He's also sort of a lane bully if you are good with him. Bonus points for only needing 1 AA and 1 Q to proc thunderlords. They never see that burst coming. One of the funniest champions I've played lately.

PS: CHAAAAAAAARGE!!! It has 8 A's. No more, no less.

2 - Talon, when fed is a goddamn beast. If you ever get an edge in lane you can constantly all in your enemy, farm a bit, recall, all in again and get another kill and repeat this forever. His ult CD is laughably low, so as far as you're ahead the enemy laner will not know the meaning of "breathing room". If you get behind you're still useful as all of your burst is AoE. You will most likely get deleted in team fights unless you're ahead, but you deal enough damage to make up for it. You're also a beast late game with the fastest burst in the game.

3 - Rengar is the bad pussy you need (buy him now if you wanna make stupid GoT references like this one). He is great in solo Q, where is each man for himself. With DQ rolling around, he suffers a bit in higher ELOs, but he can still cause mayhem and get extremely fed easily. Also, his counter jungle cheese comes close to Shaco-ish levels. When fed, he turns the game into a horror survivor for the enemy team. When not fed he's just a harmless kitty unless he can set up plays with his empowered eBola.

4 - Zed is the one I played the least. The reason is simple: you are as reliant on your ult as it gets. It feels great to one shot players in the mid and possibly late game, but he just feels weak without his ult up. He's the only one in this list I never had fun playing. I can't personally recomend. Seeing how gutted he is and how often he's banned, I wouldn't invest my IP on him just yet. Maybe wait until after the Assassin Update, see how he turns out, wait for his ban rate to decrease and then make up your mind.

Never played Yasuo, so I can't recomend him.

Honorable Mention - My boy Shaco is a thing of his own. There is no single champion I enjoy more than him and he's probably the reason I still play League. He has a simple kit, but mastering him requires much more Game Knowledge than Mechanic Skill, although he can bannefit a lot from it with all his shenanigans (Using your ult to go over walls and dodge abilities, blocking skill shots with your box and that's basicly it). He requires snowballing to be effective and against coordinated teams he suffer a lot in team fights, but he has all the tools one might desire to snowball himself and his team pretty hard. He requires a lot of pratice to be truly useful, but I think it's one of the most rewarding and tilt inducing champion when played correctly. Playing him feels more like a battle of wits than a mechanical contest. If you want to be an annoying motherfucker, pick Shaco
