I have recently started playing LoL and i was wondering which champions to buy. I am currently level 22 and my favorite champion is Orianna. I main mid and i currently own Kat,Yasuo,Orianna,Annie and Ryze. I was thinking about cassiopeia but she seems like a really high skill cap so im currently saving for xerath. Please comment your suggestion down below.
-Bad Sardine
Guanxi2 votesIf you're good with Orianna, you could pretty much play any champion you'd want. She is one of the hardest champions to really master, besides maybe Yasuo (No, I'm not a Yas player, I actually hate the champions' kit all together).
Regarding your next point, Xerath is a champion where either you're good with skill shots, or you're not. His kit is run souly around the fact of skill, map awareness, and timing. If you can get those three down, then sure pick him up. He's not really known to be a hypercarry, but you CAN if you get far ahead during laning phase. He's designed to poke with his Q,W, or catch someone with your e and collapse.
Guanxi2 votesMaking another point*
Asking people on the forums about what champions are good and what aren't isn't the best thing to do. No champion is "bad", they're just not good against certain matchups. I play A LOT of Aatrox and win my lane 95% of the time, with a few exceptions like Jayce or some other instant-burst top lane.
Play a champion that YOU are interested in, not something that is good because an LCS player said so. You won't get where you could playing something you are told is good, but you don't actually enjoy playing x champion. It's like you doing something you don't like, but your friends are telling and peer pressuring you to do it, not cool right?
Bad Sardine1 votesYea I understand, ill try to play most free week champions and see which ones fit me the best.

always a safe pick
the only skill cap she has is the positioning in between E's and actually landing Q's, honestly.
infinite ap scaling, fun fun
braindead
permabanned in pro scene, must be good
Bad Sardine1 votesThanks for the tips ill make sure to reconsider Cassiopeia
Serevas1 votesXerath is 100% skill based, every single one of his abilities are skillshots, which means you can do a ton of damage, or deal zero damage.
I used to love playing the champion, so I'd never tell you not to get him, but I don't play him much any longer as if I have a bad game I contribute virtually nothing to my team.
HKT Saber1 voteshis w and ult are more of an aoe rather than a skillshot...
Serevas1 votesIt's still an ability that you have to aim, and they're both very easily missed. Being in the shape of a circle doesn't make it any less of a skillshot.
Bad Sardine1 votesI'm decent with skill shots so ill pick him up with Cassiopeia and possibly malazahar
Serevas1 votesHe's super rewarding if you're good at hitting his abilities, he was always very feast or famine for me though. I'd go off and have an absurdly high KDA, or I'd not do much of anything.
HKT Saber1 votes
is very fun to play
and his ult is a point and click suppress
Bad Sardine1 votesBefore i buy him ill try him in free week but thanks for the suggestion
VivaLaKitten1 votesget one you like for each role just incase good starters are Garen top Ashe adc Annie "can" support, but I suggest getting Soraka and for jg try Warwick or Udyr
as for mid, try Brand :3
Bad Sardine1 votesI already own most of the 450 champions but i will think about udyr and brand
VivaLaKitten1 votesBrand's combo is, 3rd, 1st, 2nd aka E, Q, W
best to max W first then Q next
Liandrys
and Morellonomicon
are key items you'll need
Udyr is mostly a jungler but can go top, thought it may be difficult
for jungle get them in the order, Q, W or E, then R
max Q first
Trinity force
is a key item you'll need
best wishes
Kukan Seishin1 votes Skill shot reliant but very forgiving
Landing Q's is difficult to get used to especially if the enemy team has mobility spells
Good.... however if someone is smart, they can pick a lane bully and with correct positioning they can pretty much shut you down with 0 counterplay
I like annie, good lane phase, good roam potential, good cc, good burst.
Ih... I personally don't believe he is that good, might just be because I play almost exclusivly against him though, he doesn't have any mobility and if you mess up a combo it can mean death in an instant, also has low range.
Ooooooooh boy, do I love me this Champion, however, I don't recommend picking him up unless you understand that he will be banned... a lot.
Everyhting is a skillshot, if you don't land them consistantly, and have good positioning, your lack of mobility will be the death of you.
I don't play against her much, no opinion from me :/
I see a lot of Syndras getting camped every game they are in my game, I don't think it is good
Bad Sardine1 votesI already own yasuo but i will probably get Cassiopeia. I tried ahri but she has a very dull game play experience in my opinion.
Kukan Seishin1 votesI main Ahri fk you.... (sarcasm)
A Doorknob1 votesI would suggest you get Champs for other lanes and start building skills made for your secondary roles aswell as you will not have the opportunity to always MID lane. As well, ALWAYS have at least 1 support champ. You may require to auto-fill it. As of now, from what I've read, your only support is Annie, which is fine, but you may want to get something more viable.
Dryditch1 votesNami is Love, Nami is Life.
Seriously though, what this guy said^
Start figuring out a secondary lane, and you'll have a much easier time of it. Personally, I suggest picking up at least three support champions so you can always play if they get banned and you're autofilled. Otherwise, just start looking into other roles you could play.
Bad Sardine1 votesI currently own Soraka and Annie. Should i get taric or Janna for support?
Dryditch1 votesThey do such different things that it's hard to say. You need someone who can disengage well.
Alistar or Braum would be good. Taric can be phenomenal if you get good with his ultimate.
I never liked Janna, but she's very strong if you're good with her. Very hard to kill her.
My #1 support right now is Nami, but she's an expensive pickup if you don't have runes yet.
Bad Sardine1 votesI already own champs for most lanes but not for support/adc so i will make sure to get some of those.
Akali Prime1 votesyoud probably like syndra or leblanc
A Doorknob1 votesYou don't really need any adcs' if you have no plans on going there. Supp you may automatically land without choice which is why I mention supp. If you do plan on getting an adc, I would suggest Ezreal, Corki, Varus or Kog Maw since they play like a mid laner but can AD carry. It would come to you more naturally as per say a Vayne or Caitlyn.
