I understand that you're new to the role, but why must you pick a complicated champion?

Had a match where one of my teammates says he wants to try out and learn ADC since he's new, and I don't mind & preferred to Support for him. But what's more surprising is that, our new ADC trainer picks Kalista out of all ADC champions.

During the game, it is deemed impossible to support him, as he's very clunky with the champion he's using. He does not know how to AA-move-AA-move (which I can understand), his skillshot from his Q is weirdly off, and his map awareness is way below 0 (even after we took note of the enemy jungler thanks to my wards). Need I remind you that this new guy is a Platinum, and I didn't think even the basics of LoL, such as landing skillshots & map awareness, were absent in this guy.

To anyone who wants to try mastering a new role, I recommend that you should try out simple champions in the beginning to help improve your basics of certain lanes. Doesn't matter if the champion is weak in the role, the most important fact is that you should try to adjust your map awareness & the enemy's aggro which varies in certain lanes. I'll give you a few examples of it:

#Top

Pick: Garen Shen Nasus Not: Jayce Illaoi Gangplank

#Jungle

Pick: Fiddlesticks DrMundo JarvanIV Not: Graves Khazix LeeSin (Graves because I highly doubt that he knows how to keep monsters off from him & his low potential of ganking)

#Mid

Pick: Ryze Morgana Vladimir Not: Fizz Orianna Zed

#ADC

Pick: Ashe MissFortune Caitlyn Not: Kalista Draven Vayne

#Support

Pick: Soraka Janna Taric Not: Bard Velkoz Alistar (And basically any other champions who does not have a Support tag on them, such as Leblanc Brand )

half the champs you listen to pick eg. Nasus, aren't champs i want people trying out in my games. Sure nasus skills are hard per say but its hard to actually build stacks on him. A nasus with 200 stacks at 30min might as well be a 0-6 kalista,
