Another "who should I buy" thread

So I've hoarded a few IPs and I'm looking to get yet another champion. I'm a mage main so I was thinking of getting an assassin 1. because they're played mid all the time and are generally really op and 2. I want to better learn how to play against them, and I figure the best way to learn how to play against a champion is to play as that champion. I've got my sights on either Akali , Leblanc , Katarina , or Zed . Which one do you think would be easiest to get into, but still teach me the most about assassins?

I probably wouldn't buy anyone until you've played him/her. Just wait for their free weeks, and if you like one, buy them. (I don't mean wait for all of them before buying. If Akali is the first free one and you like her, get her.)

I've played most of them fairly recently (except LeBlanc since she's never on free week), but I just don't know which would be best to start out with playing in real games.

Akali because she's the easiest to get used to, but still strong. After you get the fundamentals of assassinating squishies 101, go for higher skillcap assassins like zed

Guitar Hero Katarina would be my pick. LB is pretty close behind.

I'm assuming you're not HIGH HIGH elo since you have to ask 'who should i buy' so i'm going to be very blunt.

You're not good enough to play Zed and Akali to their full potential. Akali isn't just about R R R R R PANTAKEEL... You have to go in properly or risk getting shut down by enemies with CC and focusfire.

The reason i chose LB and Katarina for you is because Leblanc has 2 ways to escape + ultimate making it 4, so if you mess up or get baited you can get out fast. Katarina is very simple to play , all you have to watch out for is big cc's like amu ult or liss ult. Q>E>W>R.
