Champions for someone who's horrible?

Niyumi·12/7/2015, 6:54:08 AM·1 votes·1,170 views

So, I've just come to the conclusion that I'm horrible at the game, and that's why I lose 95% of my games. While I'd like to go blame my team, or balance, or whatever, I know that none of it is true. There's only one common factor in all my games, and that's me.

Basically, here's my question: What champions can someone who has absolutely no common sense (League-wise), and no skill play and actually stand a chance at winning? I often have my ass handed to me by ADCs and other champs with targeted abilities, so it'd be nice to have some kind of defense against those.

I donno. Even when I play ADCs I just feed. So maybe there is no champion I can actually play.

It's really hard to give you advice without knowing what role you play.

I recommend you check out lol-coaching.com. you can get free coaching from plat+ players who can give you really specific ways to improve.

Master Yi is a good one. My boyfriend is HOPELESS at LoL and only plays to bond with me (kinda like how I play CoD for him) and he only understands how Yi works. His kit is nice and simple, straight forward builds, and is usually very easy to carry with in low elo.

Malphite He is so much fun to play. One good ult and you won the teamfight, you can go full tank so you dont have to worry about any damage coming to you since youre so tanky+passive. Tip: get someone to play Yasuo with you

We've all started somewhere, the thing is, you're already better than most people by simply admitting and realising that you're not very good at this game. That doesn't mean to say that you can't be.

My champion that I would encourage you to learn is Azir, he is a very very mechanically demanding champion, learn his abilities and play bot games, learn simple combos like W-Q to harass, learn when to trade in lane (look at the amount of minions, how close you are to their turret, look at the minimap and ward so you know it's safe to do so)

Practice his drift combo (w-e-q) till you can perform it perfectly, watch videos of pro games and watch how they play him.

Once you have a good understanding and mechanical skill, you will then have a champion that can more or less solo carry a late game team fight.

After that, increase your map awareness and use that to your advantage. for example : you notice you have a slow minion wave building up and heading to their bot side t2 turret, that means someone is going to have to clear it soon, tell your team to start getting vision control over the top side of the map, it'll put pressure on them, you then have the choice to take top/mid/baron, all situational choices.

One other thing to note: Concentrate on farming minions and avoiding damage rather than kills, with azir at the moment im starting with an RoA build for sustain so I can farm myself up to a nashor then deathcap easily and provides some counter to bursts.

Sorry for the wall of text though, hope something of that was at least useful to someone. I might post some more tips through out the day depending on how bored I get at work.

Garen, annie, any right click based champion, you can't really fuck up those champs mechanics wise

what position do you want to play? We can suggest champs all day, but if you want to toplane, a suggestion of Lux isn't going to help you in the long run.

If you listen to players at my experience level (2 months, below L30, never played ranked), then Yi, Yasuo, and Teemo are all solid picks.

Pick a position, then pick a champ from there based on what you want to do. I enjoy playing Sup, and I've gotten a LOT of ADCs friending me now because they think I'm great at it, and want to play with me.

I know I suck - my Leona is far too aggressive, but it's nice to play with people instead of solo queue.

but I digress.

As I see it, botlane is quite easy to learn as it leaves you with someone to back you up in case of an emergency. Midlane's also not too bad, as it lets you get a lot of levels quickly, and snowball into an unstoppable force.

My main advice is to learn a position, rather than a champ, and work outwards from there. Once you know how to midlane, then learn to midlane with Annie, then move Annie to a different position and transfer that knowledge to have an advantage on learning sup with her.

Worked beautifully with my Lux.
