IDK for some reason most of the 450 champs are nooby, but are SOO good.

My favorite top laner right now is Garen
My favorite adc is ashe,
I love Annie mid, Kayle and YI jungle are OP (im not saying they need nerfs,
they are just crazy GOOD),
Soraka is good support AND can be great with an AD build,
Warwick is a great jungler when fed,
Nunu is a great tank,
Sivir is a good adc (never tried her, but she does good in a lot of games I play with or against her),
Im sure after her rework poppy will be great as well!

People say "stop playing noob champs" but I love them and me and my friend believe they are some of the best champs.

Whose your favorite 450 champ and why?

The thing with 450s is they aren't mechanically difficult and weren't designed to be, they do well because they are designed for people who don't enjoy having many things to keep track of.

Sure, Sivir can push well and clear waves and Ashe has great kiting skill but Lucian has insane burst and mobility if played correctly (seriously, get a item 3153 and item 3087 on him, utilize your passive, watch as you blow up almost anyone efficiently. Add Movement Quints and Boots for absolutely cheesy Mobility that WILL force quite a few of their summoner 4 ) Annie has a point-and-click stun but Karthus doesn't care if he's dead, he's still going to wreck team fights. Warwick has great sustain in a drawn out fight but so does Trundle with a lifesteal item or Maokai in a team fight and both of them contribute more than just a Lockdown Ultimate that can be interrupted, an attack speed steroid for the team and a few auto attacks.

It's not a matter of New Champions being bad as much as certain champions contributing more or having better mechanics.

The reason the 450 champs are the 450 champs are because Riot thought they're good 'basic' all-around champs, and lower skill mastery (not saying they're all EZ MODE no skill champs, but picking up the basics of them/playing them at 'ok' levels takes very little compared to say... Azir Elise Viktor ) So you wouldn't be hurting too bad needing a champ of any role besides the free week ones. I think they did a pretty good job picking the right ones. :)

Amumu good tank, easy q/r/e combo, pretty much all builds that involve a lot of max hp are viable on him. Annie easy burst mage, not extremely squishy (cause of E and tibbers being sort of a pseudo-tank.) Ashe easy adc, good AA's, probably one of the best last hitters in the game, W- easiest skill in the game to learn IMO. Garen SUPER easy combo fighter, you pretty much cannot fuck up his combo, just QWE in pretty much any order and run at them, you're bound to do something (maybe not the best thing you could do, but just learning when to faceroll and go in can get you decent at the bruiser roll.) Soraka just spam heals on your adc and you won't completely fail as a support. (as opposed to Nami or something where you'll just drain your mana, miss all your bubbles, and heal for very little, if played at a low skill level) Nunu / Warwick literally does not matter what runes and masteries you use, you'll still come out of the jungle at full health, maybe sub-optimal clear speed, but at least you're not gonna die to your own blue buff.
